So here's what I posted (and then deleted) from Facebook today.
First, here's the stupid post that made me so angry I felt the need to respond: http://madworldnews.com/hillary-abortion-remarks-fact/. Posted by a friend, who has such strong religious and political ideas that I don't feel I can ever get too close to her because she would disapprove of me and I don't want to start that kind of fight with someone who may someday be family...
Here's a rebuttal, of sorts: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-confuses-birth-with-abortion-and-no-there-are-no-ninth-month-abortions_us_5808dfa2e4b0dd54ce389b61
My comment: I'm starting to have a really hard time NOT arguing with people who refuse to check their facts before stating their personal political opinions as "fact" based on biased news sources. Happy to discuss this with anyone who actually wants to have a rational discussion. Can't wait for this election to be over....
And then this one, which was really hard to read but really informative, and which I wish I could tell those friends to just take a look at, but again, I don't want to ruin friendships because I disagree with somebody else's beliefs... http://jezebel.com/interview-with-a-woman-who-recently-had-an-abortion-at-1781972395
Oh, and on the topic of Hillary "letting slip classified information" about nuclear codes? That's just nonsense.
Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/clinton-four-minute-nuclear/ Try checking your facts before you post. And the entire point of Hillary's comment was that there are specific procedures in place for this, and none of the people who have ever been in that position would trust Trump with the responsibility of making decisions about launching a nuclear strike. — feeling annoyed.
But again, this was in response to something posted by a family member of a good friend so I didn't feel like I could say anything. Ugh.
Oh and I deleted this one just for good measure, even though I thought it was funny: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-book-report_us_58085172e4b0b994d4c46953
