How far down the rabbit hole will the OP fall? Who will he take with him? Stay tuned for the latest edition of mentally challenged troll poster.

And an early candidate for self ownage of the year thread.

That doesn't relate to the OP in the slightest. When bereft of new lies & distortions right wing propagandists just drag out the old lies to rally the troops & control the conversation.

The OP is completely invalid but bringing up "gotcha" from 2013 doesn't make much sense except to get even. I can bring up policies of other administrations who outright lied and no that does not excuse Trump for saying false things during his campaign. But there's a lot of fake crap being circulated like Trump had no legal authority to strike Syria and another fact checking site said as much.

It would be nice if we were focusing on what is going on now rather than an administration ago and like the OP. Now matters now.

Snopes hasn't been trustworthy for a few years - it's mostly Progressive propaganda now.

Snopes has thousands upon thousands of fact checks, yet you can't even find a handful that are incorrect.

too bad they aren't as easy to discredit as Trump's BS tweets.

Folks like Chiropteran are what actually emerge when the swamp gets overfilled with Trump-level fanatics and dingelberry cultists.

While his repeated self-ownage is certainly entertaining, it is important to remember that there are real life human beings that think like this dude posts.

Ya know, I've seen this claim over and over again and when I ask for verifiable proof of widespread factually incorrect info on Snopes... crickets. Then rants about the people themselves and how she's a "cat lady."

Max, it's quite simple, when the facts do not fit your worldview, you must adjust your worldview to fit the facts. If you attempt to adjust the facts to fit your worldview you just end up looking stupid, misinformed, and delusional.

Snopes sources every fact they present. Any fact check is only as good as it's sources. And Snopes, when proved wrong (human error happens), has corrected themselves and posted retractions.

It's the same people that claim Wikipedia is unreliable despite evidence to the contrary, from my experience.

They also tend to not trust the weather channel, or doctors.

Or science for that matter. Which is ironic given the fact that we're on a tech board and everything we're into here is 100% created by science. In fact, science creates everything that works in the world. How hypocritical that science deniers use science daily, yet deny it works.

And most are following a very, very predictable script, easily defined, plotted, and monetized by social/cognitive science.

Why are some still so focused on Obama? I understood when he was President but its over now. Obama will never be President again or ever be in line to be President again. His political days are over. Why even waste time with OP's post?
