3 things I learned this morning from RW whacko world

Okay I know we aren't supposed to peddle RW talking points or conspiracy theories but here goes anyway.

There is no cholera outbreak in Puerto Rico. This is actually true. Every major RW site has an article blasting Paul Krugman for tweeting about it - he later retracted the tweet and apologized.

Trump did GREAT in Puerto Rico yesterday. The only fair coverage is on Fox News. I heard this from an "image consultant" guest on local RW world radio. He also called PR "California" and said that 7 million people live on PR.

Okay here's a really doozy. FB post from local newscaster about how many messages he's getting about the Las Vegas tragedy. It seems that quite a few people have reviewed the videos and determined that some of the same people in those videos were in Sandy Hook videos. I'm not shitting you either.

Of course, there are people who simply roam around the country pretending to be victims in mass shootings. WTF???

We are all going to die as a result of this kind of stupidity if we don't find a way to counteract it. I think time is running out for this country, and we'll be taking other countries down with us, too.

Mueller needs to put his investigation on overdrive.
