How bizarre. Is someone impersonating the Orlando Sentinel?

Just got a flame-bait subject line allegedly sent by the Orlando Sentinel, but when you go into the message, there is no link to the Orlando sentinel and no body in the message.

This is the subject line:

News Alert: Many voters, including a third of Democrats, want Biden replaced as Democratic nominee

How irresponsible since there is no way of knowing who as polled.

2. It is a form of spam.

If you sign your email up for right wing sites, you get the same inflammatory nonsense spam from "Fox News" — but really it originates from Moroccan spammers/phishers. My mother is a right winger and gets inundated with this kind of spam.

5. She is so nasty, but she's never been a Democrat, so who's surprised?

The only surprise is this incredibly prolonged period before her announced retirement.

Oh, she'll be 78 in a couple of months. Time to retire, lady! You're too old to continue working.

4. The fascists backing the GOP are desperate to stop Biden and his team from repairing more damage done by GOP

It is a marketing campaign, not a political campaign. Chances are Putin is half of the effort and the world's richest bastards are the other half.

Too many Americans have been too well trained for too long to follow the marketing instead of THINKING. It is disgusting, disheartening, and likely to throw this nation in the trash so the owner class can pick their teeth with our children's bones.
