On Facebook, 99% of posts I see are like "I saw this thing - what is it?" and it's a bug or an outdated kitchen utensil OR posts of someone using epoxy to create improbable floors that look like rivers OR it's people trying to determine if what they saw was a coyote.

“I fired 5 shots and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys,” he texted his pals.
Turns out, that was all a lie. Charges dropped. Woman still shot.

Maybe there's something else going on in the GOP?
