Apparently, the TRUTH doesn’t come to one easily. I decided to get the truth……actually, I decided I have I lot of free time today. I also have a picture of a big dog that sort of looks like Trump taking a dump.

So I was thinking it would be fun to see how many times I could post that photo to TRUTH SOCIAL before they nuked my account.

So I downloaded the app. So far so good. Then I entered my standard throwaway e-mail. I see a red box that says “OOPS, SOMETHING WENT WRONG”. I know that, it happened about six years ago. But, after entering the email address a half dozen more times, I’m finally allowed to enter my date of birth.

“OOPS, SOMETHING WENT WRONG”. Of course. So after entering several random dates starting with 19 ( as an old lady, it made me feel VERY old when I realized that now the liquor store clerk can just check the first digit of the DOB).

After a couple of dozen more tries, I finally got a message that as soon as I clicked the link in the confirmation e-mail, I would be able to receive THE TRUTH.

And here I am, with time on my hands and an unposted photo of a dog crapping. Because, of course I didn’t get a link, even though I told them to resend it. And now I can’t get past step one.

I’m picturing Devin Nunes sitting in front of some 1995 AOL browsers, manually e-mailing confirmation links and watching the hourglass spin.

Oh well, it looks like I’ll have to find something else to do today.
