This made it to Snopes, ratf*&king by whom? About Buttigieg

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/buttigieg-dogs-clipping/

snip--"This rumor was circulated in the form of a purported image of an August 30, 1998, South Bend newspaper article reporting on the teenaged Buttigieg’s arrest:


⛧ 𝕳𝕰𝕷𝕷 𝕮𝕽𝕺𝖂 ⛧
@ComradeCrow
Why won't anyone discuss this? @CNN @washingtonpost @nytimes


Both the claim that Buttigieg had been arrested for killing dogs and the newspaper clipping that allegedly documented the claim were complete fabrications, however — the latter created through the use of the The Newspaper Clipping Generator, a utility which allows users to produce images of news snippets similar to the one seen above:"

Not much more at Snopes.


And Comrade Crow is still on Twitter...

this is the kind of thing that demands instantaneous responses on whichever platform it appears, including requests for remove such accounts.

Doesn't matter who the candidate is - gay, Asian, old Jewish guy, stutterer, wonk, rich guy. There have to be elements of the campaign dedicated exclusively to this stuff, to include trump's online tweets and retweets. Responses must be instantaneous or as damn close as possible.

And this doesn't address any strike first capabilities. I would guess that Montenegran or whatever "agencies" would work for the highest bidder.

I have repeatedly been told that Snopes is a "liberal rag" and can't be trusted by idiots refusing to believe their cult propaganda is the real fake news. Proof? The wife (founder) is from Canada.

that say the same thing, that Snopes is biased against Trump and republicans in general. Ask them for specifics........there are none, but they just know it.

We can't make any inroads with people like that because they are biased against facts.

The trail I ran down went to Reddit, and there are places I won't go too far in there, I need this phone. For real, some of Reddit is like waste treatment plants.
