Hello Dante? What Level Is This?

Elon Musk, in a Tweet, Shares Link From Site Known to Publish False News
On Saturday, Hillary Clinton, the former first lady and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, posted a tweet assailing Republicans for spreading “hate and deranged conspiracy theories” that she said had emboldened the man who attacked Ms. Pelosi’s husband, Paul, inside the couple’s home in San Francisco early Friday.

In a reply to Mrs. Clinton’s tweet, Mr. Musk wrote, “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye” and then shared a link to an article in the Santa Monica Observer. The article alleges that Mr. Pelosi was drunk and in a fight with a male prostitute.

I hope twitter tanks, it's quickly becoming the cesspool Musk has promised it will be.

I'm really tired.

Duty To Warn

After the outrage on Twitter, Elon Musk deleted his misinformation tweet about the attack on Paul Pelosi.
“He may own the company but when he’s faced with all our voices he doesn’t want the trouble.”

I think a lot of us can understand your feeling on some level. I personally want to thank you and all of our posters' efforts to keep us informed on "stuff" that would otherwise slip by as well as giving us opinions and facts to consider about a wide range of topics in our world (and giving us some fun contests to participate in as well ). You are appreciated by this man in Arizona.

Ti's work is so completely appreciated. Lately, I just find myself puzzled by some of the tweets and posts; I can't express anything because there are, on so many occasions, no words for me to say.
But it is the sole way to keep up with the lunacy. As tough as it is, and as tired as Ti gets (and some of us too).

Well it's too late now to convince a considerable amount of his audience that it wasn't true.

So very many things I just do not understand these days. But in the end does it all come down to: where did a sense of basic decency go?

Some of the election denier candidates do have so much going for them. Some of them are intelligent, polished, charismatic, etc., but they choose to have their legacy be this?

I just don't have words.

On November 6, 2016, I "jokingly" put in the IN MEMORIAN thread (TAT1.0) a post that said:
"In Memorian.
Decency. 4,000 BC - Nov 6 2016.Passed away after a long disease. Survived by two siblings, Common Sense and Empathy, both in critical conditions".

But we need a sociologist to properly answer your question, not some of my idiotic attempts at cynicism.

"Joke" or not...it feels true.

Why is that news? And why single out Afghanistan? The same issues happen in Pakistan and several other Muslim countries.
This situation is exactly the status-quo prior to the 2002 invasion.
