What else is new? Seriously Georgia should do better.
She posted about the age of signers of the Declaration of Independence. I assume she was trying to highlight Joe Biden's age. So her tweet included this:" The average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 was 44 years old, but more than a dozen were 35 or younger: Thomas Jefferson: 33 John Hancock: 39 James Madison: 25 Alexander Hamilton: 21 James Monroe: 18 Aaron Burr: 20 Paul Revere: 41 George Washington: 44."
Yup great Marge except that included in the list the only 2 who actually signed it were Jefferson and Hancock. Doesn't she have staff to research this stuff? Twitter members promptly fact-checked her. It is a good thing that someone is doing it!

Only 50 years ago people lived a lot less than now. And when we go to museums we are amazed that most of the people then were a lot shorter. It is absurd to compare with history, unless you take into account EVERY difference. Probably many heroes of other times were even illiterate.

MTG is a ranting, completely insane creature with the most annoying voice on the face of the earth. I can’t even imagine having to listen to that voice on a daily basis.
