Could have been smarter?

It’s not my fault they won’t open several links provided to realize how wrong mcfly’s post was. Sure I could have posted a link from say Political who also explained the sham, but Infowars offered a variety of reputable links and even one from the WP.

Seems trying help some folks around here from realizing a mistake gets you electric fried. Like they say; You can lead a horse to the water…….
