When this school was bombed, MAGA's online instantly claimed that Iran bombed the school, either by accident or on purpose. I questioned if we knew the truth yet, since it had just happened, and was barraged by incredulous MAGAts.

"Iran admitted it, you stupid libtard!!" No, they didn't.

"Loot at this video that shows a rocket going up and coming right back down." That video was undated with no details at all. But they were convinced it proved Iran did it. "After all" one told me, "Israel nor the US would EVER do something like that." Oh, really? And what planet do you live on?

And lo and behold, after much more thorough investigation, it looks like the US did it. Not really a surprise.

This is just more evidence that jumping to conclusions in wartime is not productive, and often inaccurate.

I try to withhold judgement until evidence is presented, but that has never kept MAGA from getting on the trampoline.
