Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        That's precisely why I haven't RT'd the secondhand flight attendant story (about 16 young girls being flown from Arizona to Miami) that appears to have been originally posted on Facebook. I have yet to see any corroboration of it from legit journalists.

        CRUCIAL point. Bad guys already unloading their misinformation arsenal, but they have only small arms now. Every mistake we make gives them a tactical deterrence nuke to use on the small percentage of The Base cult that might still lean toward humanity. Triple-check sources!

        If it’s not the flight attendant story now it’s “ice agent has Nazi tattoos”

        When "real" claims are presented, they need to be verified! Its very simple.
