Trump says if too many teachers get sick he'll send in the military to run the schools.

Okay, he didn't really say that, but you believed it, didn't you?

And that's about where we are, folks.

I know PINO says outrageously stupid things, but sometimes my gut tells me that even that moron didn't say that!
If it's hateful or divisive, I default to "he said it".
If it's stupid, I mean other planet stupid, I go by my gut.
My batting average is pretty good. Not 90%, but pretty good.

I'm way too quick to believe the negative I hear about tRump. Good lesson!
