Nuffinz0rz 08/07/18 8:19:33 PM #1:	~~80/80~~ tl;dr: Don shares an article entitled "The last rhinoceros in the world dies. They are officially extinct" with a comment that says nothing claiming otherwise to discredit the misleading nature of the title he just shared. Sarah calls out the "fake news" in the most accurate way I've seen the term used since it became a thing (which is to say it's news that is deliberately misleading and/or inflammatory just to increase clicks) by noting that it was just one particular species of rhino, not ALL rhinos. Don freaks out. He doubles down by saying "I have made zero statements saying I believe it" and then blames her for allegedly fucking up his heartbreaking news story about a beloved species going extinct. tl;dr tl;dr: Don freaks out when Sarah uses "fake news" for the actual purpose it was intended to call bullshit on the misleading headline that Don himself shared. BONUS: Hillary gets triggered and attacks Sarah even though she doesn't realize that Sarah is actually the sane one --- https://imgur.com/SyAXs2q <cite>Nuffinz0rz posted [p:906452757] in Self-procl...
