R.I.P. George H. W. Bush.

Well, that damn fake news got me. I'll admit it. And I also owe an apology to that young man in the MAGA hat.
I condemned him because I thought he was disrespecting his elders ( I can't tolerate that) but the fake news did not show the whole thing. Unreal.

Can you quote your source as to what changed your mind?

Well, seeing as Fearless Leader says what you are linking is *fake* news, obviously it must be all lies.

As for the other party, he has done one interview:

*I* have not seen any other videos except a small snippet.
so I don't know anything except the two links above.

The staggering number of Trump's lies grows by the day. Here is the tally as of January 20, 2019:
President Trump made 8,158 false or misleading claims in his first two years

Ellen,

That is NOT the writing style of a HS student.

That statement doesn't match much of the hour+ of video I watched.

But I am not surprised in the least that you accept it on face value.

[Old-T]

And it seems to continue to get more involved.

Things apparently coming out this morning:
--Mommy is the VP of a PR firm
--The PR firm's major client list includes very senior REPs in the administration
--She is also close friends with the CNN reporter who pushed out "the kid's" very long, very professional sounding "here's what supposedly really happened" letter.

So Ellen, I guess you might be right.
There IS some fake news here.

Does anybody remember Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq LOL? What was CNN saying about all that at the time? We invaded and destroyed a whole country based on that shit. And there were plenty of sources, including the UN Inspectors like Hans Blix and others who said there were no weapons programs in Iraq, but CNN and Fox and the NYT and Post refused to cover them.

FAKE NEWS = MEDIA PROFITS

It keeps getting better. Fake news - Trump is right.

Oh, I remember the WMD. That was one of a few reasons that gave the UN the green light to invade. Yeah. We know it was fake. Why? Because the report about Iraq getting uranium from....was it Uganda? *BUT* the report concluded there was no nuclear material coming from there and when the guy who wrote it pressed the issue, they exposed his wife as a CIA agent. That just goes to show that a person can argue the Repubs have no concerns for the safety of people by shooting their mouths off.

WaPo. What a funny contraction for the Post.
Still surprised you like to use the *Fake News* and than turn around and bad mouth them. Sorta like Trump agree to a Dem bill funding Homeland Security and than turning his back on the bill.

You know Ellen, i'd believe the kid IF he kept the same face and mannerisms on his explaination of his actions when he finally agreed to camera time as he had when this event first hit the media.

With a bit more exposure to what happened, seems to be three groups total involved. Started with the kids and the Black Israelites (or whatever their name is.) Guess they got each others blood up. Than the native american group (the latter two groups very small compared to the kids) came in sort of as a buffer and try to draw attention away from the other two (in an attempt to calm things?)

I put the real source of things on the Black Israelites.

Also, those kids are from the Social Media generation. They should have known, but now it should be a lesson to all kids nowadays, whatever you do on camera is going to get near instantaneous exposure. So, they better be on their best behaviour

Speaking of George H. W. Bush, RIP:

January 25, 2019 From @AnnCoulter: "Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States."

And Trump responded with "I banged Anne Coulter with Melania in the next room. I guess she's mad because I forgot to pull out."
