George H.W. Bush
 
Heard thru a source of mine former President George Herbert Walker Bush has died.

Seeing conflicting reports on twitter, but had a similar thing when Carrie Fisher passed away, so can't say anything for certain. He looked fairly well at the Superbowl the other day, but anything can happen in a short time.

Story seems to have originated on a fake website:

Sadly this does happen from time to time, social media...well, twitter at least, is usually pretty good at sifting out the fake from the accurate. When it's accurate it tends to blossom fairly quickly and gets to trending quite rapidly, and then sites like the BBC and such pick it up and then tweet it on the Breaking News account, and then it gets to their website at around the same time.

Seems your source is unreliable. You should be ashamed to post something like this without verification.
Shame on You. :mad:

Shame? Really? This is an internet forum not the AP wire. He just said he heard it, he didn't say it was fact.

Rockin Robbins 02-13-17 11:17 AM

It was a fact that he heard it!:har::har::har:

Bilge_Rat 02-13-17 11:39 AM

so is that an alt-fact? :ping:

Rockin Robbins 02-13-17 02:34 PM

No, the true fact is that he heard. The alt-fact is that GHW Bush had died. To believe Heisenberg, until we open the box to determine the true fact, GHW Bush is both alive and dead. Or neither. Or something like that......:haha:
