BREAKING: A top oil company executive says Donald Trump "smelled like rotten roast beef"

The White House staff are all Traitors! Covering up for this debacle so that Putin and (redacted) can run this country.

(redacted) = a certain prime minister with International Criminal Court arrest warrants for crimes against humanity.

The part that should terrify people isn’t the smell. It’s that this is who Republicans want handling national security, foreign policy, and nuclear codes. With that said…that’s disgusting.

I suppose "Halfway Post" is supposed to be a parody on "Huff Post", but if you're not sure what's being parodied, it can be hard to know it's parody.

Even in the Lounge.

Even so, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump really did smell like rotting beef, since that's basically what he is - a big sack of meat that's turning green around the edges.

We lose credibility when we think a made-up story is true, then share it as truth with others.

Malcolm Nance is another one that I take with a grain of salt, now (I unfollowed his account). I have seen him posting misinfo/disinfo a few times.
