Keep the US Shutdown

[SHUHoopsFan]

I have no social media. Too many morons who live by it. Question is how easy is it to duplicate someone's account. I keep reading this tweet from AOC is a fake, but is it that easy to fake?

A tweet is not going to change my opinion of AOC. She's a complete idiot. Anyone can see that.

I know nothing about these things. It looks like her profile. Obviously the internet will make the claim she didn't say it. But is that true? I really don't want to go by the theory if it's on the internet it has to be true LOL

This is what it has always been about. It's not about your health. Remember, it's an election year.

I really thought she couldn't get any dumber, but if she actually said it, I will be proven wrong.

That's the question I posed. Google and everyone else is going to put the links that this is fake right to the top. The question is...how easy is it to make a fake AOC account, with a fake profile pic, with a fake message? Or is this just a cover up?

And if it's so easy are there tons of fake Trump tweets out there? I would imagine with his millions of haters, 1 person would be making fake tweets with his real profile.

I think it's pretty easy to make fake tweets, Instagram posts, etc.

The article says it being shared as a screen shot meme, not an actual tweet. So most likely created by someone as an image. Not hard to do at all.

Must be real. It's on the internet.

Obviously not true. I mean she went to BU and did absolutely NOTHING to change the name of Rhett the Terrior. She sat back and let that name carry on for another 10 years. Only now has someone considered changing the name. How she can be looked at in any form of a positive manner for just letting that go is utterly despicable.

I'd bet she knows that pitucres of a crazy tweet probably arent real though.

Next time you attempt to call me dumb, spell simple words like pictures correctly.

I typed too fast. You fell for a hoax online. Not saying you're dumb but this thread is pointless. It wasn't a real tweet.

Identifying how things can be manipulated will be very helpful the next 4 months.

Look no further than the mainstream media. Kings of propaganda and manipulation.

Do you know how to comprehend? I never fell for anything. After I received the link, I asked the question here because we have some people who live on social media. I don't know how easy or difficult any of that stuff is to manipulate. At no point did I claim this is real. Talk about manipulating things. Good job.

Ok, I'm sorry for that.

While the post is fake and no politician in their right mind would ever admit something like that in public, I gotta believe there are anti Trump people that support that point to keep the economy closed in the "interest of health", but a positive side effect is it would hurt Trump's chance at reelection in November.

That's exactly what is happening. It has been this way from the start. It's no coincidence that all this is going on in an election year.

IS THIS REAL????

So all of the politicians who support economic stimulus programs to help the economy in an election year are pro-Trump?

No, that's a tiny band-aid and an excuse to get more people on the government rolls, which is actually what the leftists want.

The economic damage has already been done.

But we can agree that all of the European countries were not shutting down because of Trump, right? Our response has little do do with Trump. We would be shut down under any president (though there would probably be a lot of american flag masks and liberals would be in the anti-mask crowd)

Offering a stimulus is not a long term solution but a short term band-aid to a global economic crisis created by a pandemic and done right would absolutely help Trump's chances for 2020. I'm all for it because I think the health of our economy is significantly more important than my dislike of Trump.

Nothing that has happened this year helps Trump's chances.

True, but politically speaking, he could have done a much better job responding to the events which could have helped his chances.
