You are right. Wow. I like seeing this stuff debunked, I know who to unfollow…I’ve had enough twitter and bad news for awhile. Think I will back away from the keyboard for awhile. LOL Thanks for the headsup.

I’m always suspicious of anonymous twitter posts and sadly of a lot of “news” sources now days, some of them being “fake” or satirical sites that don’t disclose themselves as such or sites or blogs that re-post these fake news articles thinking they are real. And, sadly too many of them are being posted here, in good faith, but not vetted. It takes some time but all I had to do was right click on the image and then “Search Google for Image” to find the original source of the picture. If it is from a twitter post or from an unknown news site or blog, I always search for other sources for confirmation.

You alerted me right away so it was easy to find the account and unfollow.....but I should have blocked. Thought of that afterwards.
