Political disinformation existed long before the rise of Donald Trump and social media.

Sad state of affairs in America today. We are running uphill with load of rocks and a bag of venomous snakes. This is a bunch of dastardly people that have a great deal of power and desire more. Social media, MSM are set-up to aide and abet.

Well, Lent is coming up. I have already taken Instagram and FB off my phone, maybe I will quit both - go radio silent for 40 days and see how I feel. I quit Twitter last Fall and am thrilled about it. Don't miss it one bit. It's not like email has gone away. 150 friends are probably heaps better face to face.
Ripping reality apart
