I just deleted a post because I was WRONG about the source of a Tweet.

It wasn't actually connected to Tom Perez. I ran with something that I didn't check out, I just ran with what I was told. so the intent of THIS post is to remind people to not to be a dumbass and take someone's word for what something says, Check it out!!

EDIT: Chevy/check

You made a small mistake, that's all: you treated a Tweet addressed to Tom Perez as if it came from him.

With all the symbol-linking Twitter uses, it's a very easy mistake to make, and you must not bash yourself for it, ok?

It's format, so obviously I'm not that good at it. But I should have done some checking. I usually do but I thought I really had something there so I jumped the gun.

That was stupidity on my part.

It would work...

But the closest contact I've had with foreigners are from across the river in Council Bluffs.

Russian hackers are like welfare queen driving Cadillacs, the War on Christmas, and the Boogeyman.
You don't have to see them. They don't even need to exist.
All that is required is some skill in selling them.

The image from the Tweet is obviously the fruit of Hillary Clinton supporters who still beLIEve that she's qualified to be President (Cat deliver us!).

And it's just as odious as it ever was, regardless of its source:

Looks to me more like snark aimed at them... even though it's true.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

Is that those of us who care enough about actual reality to go digging for it can bring the results of endeavors to peers for review and critique. Given the amount of obfuscation involved, misses, either partial or total are inevitable.

I was pleased that nobody on that prior thread read you the riot act or insinuated that you were a shill for someone or the other (at least up to the point I read it).

This sort of mistake is what it means to be in a reality based community since reality is squirrely even when it's not being deliberately hidden by well financed and extensive propaganda networks.

A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.
