Somewhat. I have a couple of relatives who loathe Trump. They were excoriating him for this. Then they got really quiet when it was pointed out the half dozen or so times they fell for a Bee headline
One of my friends actually texted me saying. I just thought it was funny

The people I know who have fallen for a Bee headline aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. To me, seeing who falls for their stuff is more humorous than their actual content.

In the military world we have the duffle blog and the same holds true. Anybody who shares a parody article as fact deserves to be laughed at.

He just tweets/retweets anything which is expected from my friend's crazy mom, but not the president.

I'm also in a terrible mood. The Rays are falling apart.

Oh I think it’s funny that he retweeted. But I know people smarter than him who have fallen for the headlines.

Crazy stat I discovered: both current nominees are older than the last 3 presidents. Bill Clinton was elected 28 years ago and is younger than Trump and Biden.

Look at each of their spouses. One will make you look haggard. The other will keep you young

This could go into numerous threads but I'll put it here.

For all the criticism I have posted on here directed at the president (which hasn't changed), I'd like to share that he and his administration have done a great job paving the way to getting this vaccine to the public at record time. The scientists and doctors obviously are the ones that should get a lot of praise too but like most large scale things like this, you often have government agencies get in the way and Trump's administration has done a good job removing those barriers.

A ton of credit to go around but this really could end up being a good positive note to go out on.

Just my 2 cents on the president. I'm not always s hater :D

I think you've said that about me before and I couldn't disagree with you more. I don't really fit into a potlical box and can admit when people I generally disagree with do something right. If that bothers anybody, oh well I guess.

I do have the tendency to play devil's advocate. I'll give you that.

I do have very strong opinions. I also try to consider my audience when communicating those opinions.
