I'm not talking about things that are common knowlege. I've often seen people post things regarding information that isn't well known, and then offer nothing to back it up, which is why people ask for a source.

Or, alternately, people mention something as an argument to something else, but the information seems dubious, yet they don't provide a source.

That's what "Fact checking" is about.
If someone dosen't believe something I said then they should fact check me.
When you provide sources they ignore it 9 out of 10 times anyway, or they say the sources are wrong or inaccurate, many times sources these days are inaccurate, thats why when I fact check I use multiple sources left and right leaning.

That is because I have discovered reposting the same information once and agai
and again becomes tedious after a while. I am not talking specifically about this discussion, but geeze, there are some subjects that are both common knowledge and docummented, and when you bring them up somebody asks for a source.

[...]

A week later a different person does the same thing regarding the same topic. Multiply it three more times and then it becomes obvious asking for certain sources of information is a dishonest practice and nobody should be playing ball.

I moderate an echo on another network. I have gotten tired of providing
the links and quotes from said links to persons who will either (1) always ignore the information provided, or (2) will read the information and
change their tune, only to show up a couple of weeks later (after their "leader" has brought the fake info up again as real) acting as if no one
has ever shown them any proof otherwise.

Group 2 may be worse than Group 1 because Group 2 people usually wait just
long enough for me to have lost the links and I have to look them up all over again.

Myself, I think that's far too old. (For context, I thought there was one federal retirement age, but no, the federal employee benefit plan makes it much more complicated than that. The oldest immediate retirement age under that plan is 62 with five years of service.)

Yes most public sector plans require 5 years to vest, i still need 2
years 11 months to get like 350 a month for life when I turn 60.

When you cherry-pick some comments/actions/inactions, you can say that about any politician you want to. It's all a matter of context, and
which "side" you're on. Let me know if you need a list of gaffs/slights produced by the current administration on this subject.

many of these accusations are cherry picked to defame trump such as the
dead solider from texas where the sister of the one died said the
atlantic magazine writer lied big time.

I believe that was my point, wasn't it?

Also, you snipped most of the context from a months-old post, so it's difficult to remember what is even being talked about here.
