That he forgot is in every search engine at the moment. 🤣

@DeWayfarer I know he said but was looking for the link in the times.

@beckyromero people magazine really. Did the times publish it?

@Sojournersoul

Trump did a marathon interview recently with the New York Times.

I'm not about to go digging for it, which needs a paid subscription. But guess what? You can!

@beckyromero @Sojournersoul As Becky says that HAS a subscription. Yet perhaps you know how to get around that. 😈...

@Sojournersoul

Don't be that guy in the Trivago commercial who doubts his friends and says, "Oh, yeah? Prove it!"

@beckyromero I don’t believe anything that I don’t check out.

@Sojournersoul
But YOU didn't check it out. You wanted OTHERS to check it out.

So do your homework FIRST before castings aspersions on what others are posting.

@beckyromero you are so wrong. Read my reply. I said there was no link I could find. I don’t want anyone doing my research, if you can’t back something up then don’t post it.

@beckyromero this is from today and take a read.

@Sojournersoul
You must not have looked very hard. Geez! I'd hate to see what happens when you can't find your car keys.

Seriously! How difficult is it to type: trump forgets tariff check promise - into Google's search? 🤭

@Sojournersoul
I'll post whatever the F*CK I want to post! And if you don't like it, you are free to not read it.

@beckyromero not hard at all but when you post a link to people.com, but quoting the ny times. Makes it hard to find.

BTW, how high is the Illinois gas tax right now? One of the reason I left.

@Sojournersoul
That was a free article link. NYT has a paywall for a lot of stuff.

@beckyromero well I I can read your mind about were you got your link, just going by what you said.

@Sojournersoul
Around $2.75/gallon, higher in some areas, lower in others.

@beckyromero didn’t say anything about what you post. Just be ready to back it up.

@beckyromero I looked it up average is $3.36.

@Sojournersoul
You mean like Il Duce backs up all the BS that comes out of his mouth?

@Sojournersoul
That's too high. I paid $2.89 last week.

@beckyromero if something is said here, I will look it up and if I can’t find it I will ask where it came from, I would expect you to do the same.

@Sojournersoul

I don't have the time to research everyone's posts. If I see something false and feel like pointing it out, I might do so. But I don't go around asking everyone to prove everything they write.
