Jim Acostas Facebook page

I find this very interesting. I have never been more attacked on Facebook by knuckle draggers and bots than when I post something complimentary about Acosta on his page.

It is very obvious he gets under the Trumpsters skin. We need to support him for that.

If you feel like it, go over and take a peak and see if you think so, too.

It's amazing how many FB profiles don't have any personal history, few or no photos, and six or fewer friends. The first time I called out what I thought was a fake profile, I was apprehensive that I could be inviting some backlash. Nope. I've done it many times, and never had one of these obvious trolls ever come back at me, and I've never received a notice from FB that I was doing something inappropriate.

It's a good feeling to call out a bot and leave your post hanging forever below his stupid post. Kind of robs it of its potency.
