So my Trump Chump that I have a bet with regarding Nancy Pelosi's arrest

sent me a link telling me I am blind, and it's from an outfit called "Wooz News"

I asked him if he was fucking kidding me.

I am not posting the link in this OP, but might in the comments, because they are trying to attack the 1-6-21 insurrectionist attack by traitors to our nation. But since I haven't bothered to watch it, I am not sure I should ask any of you to do it either.

Is anyone familiar with "Wooz News"?

This isn't a "biggie" fight or anything (yet). Sometimes there is an urgency to these things. This ain't one of those times.

That some "news" outfit is claiming that Nancy Pelosi is going to be arrested???

What for?

Having masks that coordinate with her very stylish clothes? Having beautiful skin at age 80 that I would love to have at my younger age?? Having a wicked smart brain that she uses on a daily basis? Having the knowledge of the ins and outs of the House of Representatives so that she can GET SHIT DONE??

Wow.

ARRESTED and jailed by March 3rd.

I bet him $100 on the arrest alone. Oh, and the winner gets to write the loser's status for 3 days.

Today, he sent me a Wooz News link telling me that I am crazy. He is fully down the rabbit hole here.

Like, completely.

out of the Capitol in handcuffs.

Plus, 430 representatives had been arrested. I just shook my head. Apparently there is some made up video.

Seriously, anybody who cites a "source" whose very name is a joke, should be laughed at.

They look to bullshit "news" sites and blogs to give them the fantasy stories they want to hear.

Somebody who puts any credence in a news site called Wooz News has lost all critical thinking. There is no evaluation going on, just looking to confirm what they already think.

Send you friend love but don't set bets with him/her. It isn't nice to take advantage of the mentally ill.

and I didn't watch it at all. If you dare to click the link, please note I am not trying to spread any right wing info, but I wouldn't be surprised is they weren't situated out of Russia.

The web site looked very amateurish in content, presentation and font. Interesting that the web site looks chatty while the videos have production values. That smells of manufactured propaganda.

If you loan somebody $20 and never see them again it was probably worth it.
