    I hate trump as much as the next guy but I have to wonder whether it’s appropriate to editorialise posts like this?

    Like linking to an article, and then providing a rebuttal in the post body. I mean it’s funny as hell in this case, but would it be more appropriate as a comment?

    Mad respect to flyingsquid, prolific poster, commenter, and active mod. No rules being broken of course. I’m just concerned it might not be the right practice for a news community.

    If it were a conservative perspective with MAGA editorial I sure wouldn’t appreciate it.

      I don’t feel like I was editorializing apart from being sarcastic. I was showing that it was a complete lie. Fact-checking is not editorializing.

          I’m sorry you don’t like it that Laura Loomer is, in fact, part of Trump’s campaign, but it’s still a fact.

            You’ve misunderstood my concern.

            I despise Trump and this vapid weirdo.

            I suspect that if a MAGA idiot was posting in this way users would be quick to point out that it’s not appropriate for a news community.

            That said, I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. Do what you like.
