Voice of Reason Loc: Earth

I was reading a story this morning about a report concerning the current administration's diversion of $30M in c***d funds to pay for crack pipes for crack- and meth-heads in underserved communities. It seems Snopes, the fact-checker which decides who and what is allowed to post on Twitter and Facebook, agreed that everything in the original story was completely correct but labeled it 'Mostly False' because, well, they can. As an aside, now that this particular insanity has been exposed, the administration has decided not to include crack pipes in the kit of drug paraphernalia they're handing out, so Snopes has changed its rating to 'Outdated'.

The l*****t lying from Snopes isn't surprising and is barely newsworthy, but the original story got me thinking, why do we call the communities these funds are going to 'underserved'?

Underserved would mean they get less than most other communities in regards to help from the government. But they don't. In fact, they're overserved, way overserved. These are the communities where most everybody is on welfare and dozens of other government-handout programs, and have been for generations. They get free rent, free utilities, free food, free childcare (despite not working), free phones with free plans, free internet and free spending money among other freebies. Additionally, more recently, they are allowed to shoplift without consequences whenever they get enough ambition and motivation. These communities are not underserved, they are underperforming.

The communities that are underserved are the taxpayers supporting the underperforming.

Misinformation!!!!

son of witless

That's the rumor. Interesting to watch this play out. You and one of the big l*****t networks call it false. Fox says it's not false. I am waiting to see.

Thirty million program and the right zeros in on the possibility that a safety device for drug smokers may be supplied to someone.

This came directly from the Dept. of Health & Human Services. Either they lied of Biden and Peppermint Patty (Jenn [Patooti] Psaki) are lying. That's how most misinformation gets started...someone in the Biden Admin lies.

You should look at the actual source, not who they claim to quote.

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

Yes, you should. The original source was HHS.

They did not say the crap that the right is putting out.

What is the crap the right is putting out? There's nothing on this thread.

I was only commenting on what was in this thread because this is the only information I had about this story. Now,
either HHS lied, Biden and Peppermint Patty (Jenn [Patooti] Psaki) are lying, or the author of the story is lying. That's how most misinformation gets started.

You claim "the right zeros in on the possibility that a safety device for drug smokers may be supplied to someone." Actually, the claim of the article went further stating that pipes would be included as part of the safety device in the kits. The Washington Free Beacon reported this and I had not heard or seen the story. It's funny how the left does this all the time when the lamestream media reports something that is misinformation but the Left spreads it like wildfire anyway. By the way, Snopes is not a reliable fact-check source. Further digging and I found these;
