BS versus a bull shitter

For the past few weeks, maybe even months, during the presidential campaign I have run anything that sounds even remotely true and for the most part it might have been not true, or might have been true, hard to say.. I run it here and have no excuse as to say what is true.. Most of everything I post here I get from Facebook which has now been found to have had false news... In fact they have been the leader in running false news, even worse or on the same level as fox news channel..  I apologize to you if I am just as bad as FNC, but it is just me, I don't have a staff of hundreds to check any stories out.. I find something interesting I pin it and then start an entry and let the reader decide how they feel about it...  Such as todays entry (the last to be fed by Facebook for a while..)  http://theconversation.com/as-the-world-pushes-for-a-ban-on-nuclear-weapons-australia-votes-to-stay-on-the-wrong-side-of-history-68337

The push for a ban on nuclear weapons world wide.. Australia is dragging their feet on it..There is a graph in the story that shows how many nukes each country has and if Russia and the USA were to go under a hundred each that would still be enough to destroy the Earth for inhabitants for decades, maybe not forever with the current stockpiles..

Trump.. Yep.. He's a waffler..

This story is likely bull shit but we can always read it to feel better, could that petition that circulated after the election to make some of the electoral college switch their vote happen, could it cause some to change their mind??  Dare to dream.. And by the way that really is all it is.. For there to be enough people to change their vote would take a miracle.. Hearing what Trump is staffing his west wing with is scary.. But it is his vision.. And he wants these changes well  maybe he needs these people to get it done..

I've said this before, the republicans want to repeal everything about healthcare that was good and replace it with .....   Nothing mostly if they can.. Bernie Sanders said that the democrats will be ever more vigilant to watch over and try to keep this good for the seniors.. Hope he and the rest of the democrats can.. Why do I care about this.. I'm not that old, and i am not but.. That is the only direction we go in life, we get older, we never get younger.. So yes you may not need medicare/medicaid now but the day might come when you will wish they were there, but it will never be again and assholes like Paul Ryan and his republican cohorts will have taken it away when you were not looking or paying attention..Hope you save money like never before.. Because by the time you retire you will need twice as much as you do now to live on..
