Trump said he saw it from his home which was like 5 miles from Jersey city. He also claims "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."

So obviously Trump is lying again.

I have little doubt he lied. His lie, would not have sent anyone to prison, would it? Did he name specific people by name, like what happened to that Sandman kid in KY, who may soon own the Washington Post?

OK, so getting back on topic, apparently he admitted to mailing himself the letters and creating this hoax.

Yeah, it's going to help his career....if he wanted to be seen on "TMZ" or "Celebrity wanna-be Jeopardy" or some other train-wreck glamorizing waste-of-time show!!!

We'll see.

Pundits at CNN are "heartbroken" that the hate crime didn't happen. They would prefer that a racist hate crime had taken place. No agenda there, no sir. That's where we are, they'd be happier if he was beaten by whites, had a noose tied around his neck, and sprayed with bleach.

All about The Narrative. Between the Covington case and this, I think The Narrative is going to check itself into rehab.

Show me the quote from people at CNN saying that, I heard them say either way it was bad. You certainly think, that someone did something really stupid, was a good outcome and it fits right into your narrative.

How's this fit into the Narrative?

Liberals hurt themselves, Conservatives kill others might be the narrative.

‘Domestic terrorist’ intended to ‘murder on a scale rarely seen’
Federal prosecutors have described a serving lieutenant in the US coast guard as a “domestic terrorist” after uncovering his alleged plot to murder Democratic members of Congress, high-profile journalists and civilians “on a scale rarely seen” in the US. Christopher Hasson, a marine corps veteran currently posted to coast guard HQ in Washington DC, is also thought to be a neo-Nazi, who stockpiled at least 15 guns and 1,000 rounds of ammunition at his basement apartment in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Hit list. In a filing to federal court in Maryland, prosecutors said Hasson kept a spreadsheet of his intended targets, which included Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, as well as several journalists from CNN and MSNBC.

you might be right, the chief of chicago police wasn’t very happy. he was awesome.

i also saw some of this guys tweets about Trump, he
makes Pete look like Sean Hannity.

today’s liberals act like we’re living in birmingham in the 1950s. because they hate the president and becuse things are going mostly well, they have to invent mass bigotry.

If Trump REALLY, REALLY wants to give the liberals the final shove to send them off the cliffs of insanity, if he wants to destroy the last speck of sanity left in their brains, he should pardon this guy. If he did do, they'd nominate Stalin to run against him in 2020. I think this guy is insane, probably doesn't belong in prison, and he might like it there anyways. Flip the script and pardon him, and watch the left's final descent into the depths of insanity (not a very long trip from where they are at the moment)

And Don Lemon says it's not the Smollett's fault, because "maybe, who knows", his agents put him up to it. Isn't he still responsible for oh the hell with it...

Ok, bc I was confused bc you asked earlier who was the one lying.

I believe Trump repeatedly said that the central park 5 raped the women even after everyone else knew they didn't do it. So he continued to try to ruin their lives. And Trump continued to lie about "thousands and thousands" celebrating the WTC. I'm sure many faced repercussions from his continuing lying.

And the Repub. made him our President. If he was a Dem. you would be starting weekly threads stating how the Dems. don't have any morals and blah blah blah.

Not sure how many times I have to say that Trump is a scumbag. I can admit that. You point out the bad stuff he does, and I say you're right he's a scumbag. I point out bad stuff the left does, and you respond by pointing out bad stuff Trump does. If you're saying that all these liberal politicians and media talking heads are no better than Trump, I agree (to a point), but you don't seem to want to say that. I point out good and bad on both sides, I don't see you doing that. I see you endlessly pointing out bad stuff that the right does.

Both sides have bad actors and that is not limited to Trump on the right. I point out good and bad on both sides, I don't see you doing that.True, I don't point out good things on either side. I think I am consistent in that regard. I see you endlessly pointing out bad stuff that the right does.

The vast majority of the time I point out the bad things on the right in response to your blaming the left and it is to show as you said above, to point out that both sides do somethings.

If you can still support Don the Con, while ignoring the investigations, indictments, guilty pleas, lies, bullying, child imprisonment, money laundering, racism, misogyny, infidelity, environmental rape, and high treason, you’re not just misinformed.

I can deal with A turd, he's a pile of #^&#^&#^&#^&.

Geeeez . . . I thought the very recent Kavanaugh, Covington kids, and Jessie Smollet things would teach us not to rush to judgment!

He was not following precedent, he changed the policy to separate ALL children from parents.
Quantity counts, a turd here and there is one thing, a pile you’re a Macher, some people still have a sense of smell.

"ignoring the investigations" which have produced zero evidence of an impeachable offense. If that's wrong, please be very specific.

"child imprisonment"

Trump began that process? It wasn't policy that he inherited? Google the photos that people used to hammer Trump, which then turned out to be form the Obama years.

When you list of all of the many moral transgressions, and you make no mention of the accomplishments, anyone would look bad. When you balance the bad with the good, it paints a different picture. Which is why you ignore the good, because you're not interested in the truthful picture, you're interested in The Narrative.
