88. Who appointed you arbiter of 'fake news' crap'?

Sat Nov 26, 2016, 10:57 PM

Nov 2016

Cook Political Report is a solid source, or do you have some wisdom you care to share? Please back up your challenge to my post and the info therein.

Fitrakas has credibility and has done a lot of work on election integrity. Again, if you have something solid to indicate he's a flake, please share.

Not everything that's not worked it's way into the corporate media is 'fake news crap'.

Just sayin'.

Thinking something is a waste of time SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2016 #102

You are so insistent, and so ever present in all these threads, dissuading people from Squinch Nov 2016 #104

Do you even know what the word dissuade means? SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2016 #105

Lol! Tell us again how we shouldn't support the recounts, though you don't really care Squinch Nov 2016 #107
