2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHey guys, can we try something? It's really fun!
It's called "not being a sucker."
When some anonymous internet poster claims to have been paid by a political campaign, maybe wait until they've provided even a shred of proof.
When some anonymous internet poster claims several US Senators and mayors are members of the KKK, maybe ask them for the source material before instantly believing it.
But if you want to keep believing every anonymous thing said on the internet just because you want it to be true, don't let me stop you.

Like for instance those who believed the obvious lies about Saddam working with Al Qaeda and having vast stockpiles of Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Oh wait, she did.
