The anger and the mean spirited comments are truly upsetting.  It would be nice if we would recall what we where taught as youngsters: "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all."  National Catholic Reporter has its own difficulties with the truth and citing Politifact is one of them.  Politifact is a left leaning, liberal new organization dedicated to undermining this country by downplaying falsehoods from liberal politicians and hyping "falsehoods" from conservative politicians.  The classic example is the claim by President Trump that his defense budget is "one of the largest".  This is called puffery and is perfectly legitimate.  It is not a falsehood and whether it is true or false, will not impact us personally.  Compare that to President Obama's claim that the affordable healthcare act would allow you to keep your doctor and your plan.   That turned out to be false and has impacted us personally.
