    Your logic is sound and I’m not heavily disagreeing with you. My gut says the claim is hinky. (Obviously, my gut and hinkiness are the gold standard for truth and reason.)

    I’m skeptical but you might be right. It’s real fucked up that we have to even consider bullshit like this.

      Right. Like how many times do we read something off the wall and we can’t even tell if it’s satire or legitimate reporting anymore because absolutely any level of madness is possible.

      Recent examples are this whole “President Trump to rebrand Defense Department to Department of War” sounds like a SNL skit setup or “Trump moves Space Command HQ to AL, citing CO mail-in voting” sounds like the onion. There are better examples, but it’s just like every day some new crazy thing. It’s good to stay skeptical because it really is hard to be sure of anything one way or another.
