Liberals + Facts + Twitter = Lots Of Faceplams

Liberals + Facts + Twitter = Lots Of Faceplams

Jenna Fischer as Pam Halpert from the telivison show  The OFFICE  has been getting slammed on Twitter for an uneducated tweet she made over the weekend.

On Saturday, actress Jenna Fischer weighed in on recently passed GOP tax bill, putting a focus on teachers who supposedly can “no longer deduct the cost of their classroom supplies on their taxes.”

I can't stop thinking about how school teachers can no longer deduct the cost of their classroom supplies on their taxes...something they shouldn't have to pay for with their own money in the first place. I mean, imagine if nurses had to go buy their own syringes. #ugh

Teachers and Nurses go hand in hand. Maybe im biased because im a nurse . We don’t have to buy our own supplies,... but we do have to make the best out of the supplies we have. Not always easy for either of us.

Just relax @jennafischer ! Clearly educating our children is not important. What is important is that rich people can deduct their expenses for maintaining their private jets.

Keeping the masses ignorant is what those on the right strive for. The less educated they are, the more likely they are to be manipulated. The poorest (Red) States are poor for exactly this reason. Lack of critical thinking has doomed them all.

My daughter just finished her first semester of college, an education major. This is a travesty, so unfair. I think of her future, a noble profession, one she is destined for. To read about this, it makes my heart ache.

Except...
Fact check: The $250 school supplies deduction was actually kept in the Trump Tax Reform Bill.
Thankfully the supposedly "Uneducated" Republicans took to Twitter and started to educate the self-described "Educated Left" about things we like to call...FACTS!

this isnt even true. the tax bill does not take this deduction away.

Or maybe do some research and understand the deduction wasn’t dropped and it’s still available.

Imagine if this was actually TRUE. It isn't. The doubled standard deduction, doubled child deduction and the lower rates all will BENEFIT teacher income. Quit trying to fabricate false Democrat talking points for this.

I can’t stop thinking about how wrong you are. Nice fake news weirdo.

— Kelly James III (@Kellylaphen) December 25, 2017

Umm I guess you haven’t actually read the bill. Cuz if you had, you realize what your tweeting is not true but in same statement, imagine if teachers didn’t have to buy their own supplies. Just saying....

STOP LYING, that deduction is still in, ask your state WTH they're doing with TAXES paid? Does your state support ILLEGALS? Parents can afford a new iphone, but can't buy their kids supplies, Oh ya makes sense right?

Now that it's been explained to you several hundred times that you were totally wrong, how about posting THAT to all your followers too.

— Jeanne Nicholson (@JeannesTweeting) December 26, 2017


Now you would think after Jenna Fischer received a first-class education on the Trump Tax Reform Bill she would acknowledge her stupidity and move on... But, then again we are talking about someone who lives a life as a mindless drone whose life relies heavily on using liberal logic. So of course, the imbecile Jenna Fischer tweets this out.

Thanks for your tweets! I had some facts wrong. Teachers surveyed by Scholastic in 2016 personally spent an average of $530 on school supplies for students. Teachers who worked at high-poverty schools spent an average of $672. The tax deduction was capped at $250.

Normally, I would tell Jenna where she could shove her Twitter account, but then I read a tweet from a person with the absolute perfect name to let Jenna it's "HAMMER TIME!"

Therein lies the frailty of Twitter. She posts in error and gets over 200000 likes. Then Tweets a correction which virtually no one will ever see. Twitter needs to provide a way to add a correction or addendum to the initial tweet.
