If two people ever deserved each other, it's Trump and Guiliani.

They are both as thick as two short planks.

Having now watched the longer video, I concur with NTM.
Out of the two groups, the religious nutters were well out of line. I wouldn't put up with the st they were spouting.
The school kids were being irritating little wkers, but really the Bible bashers were looking to up the anti.
The NA decided his drum would disperse a load of teenagers egging eachother on. They all giggled and one refused to move out the way.
Where there's smoke?

The Covington Catholic boys harrassed my friends and I before the incident with Nathan Phillips even happened. I'm tired of reading things saying they were provoked by anyone else other than their own egos and ignorance
https://twitter.com/roflinds

Former Covington Catholic basketball player Jacob Walter pinned a woman down Sunday and raped her until she bled, according to a news release from the Boone County Sheriff's Department.

This isn’t an isolated incident for this school. It appears as though there is a culture of racism, privilege and bigotry. No one was disciplined over the blackface incident. In fact, there are photos that go back to 2015 of students in blackface. Jake Walter was allegedly accused of multiple sexual assaults and nothing was ever done.

Looks like some used it for their own purpose. Molly McKew, an information warfare researcher who saw the tweet and shared it herself on Saturday, said she later realized that a network of anonymous accounts were working to amplify the video.
Twitter has suspended the account that made the video viral

Apparently Sandmanns response was written by a PR firm

The funny thing here? Compare this to the stories about Kavanagh at college and spot the similarities.

Maybe it's all part of a plan to spread as much st around as possible to just keep increasing the workload of Mueller's team and delaying the final report.

I think it's more that Giuliani thinks he's mitigating stories that are about to come out by talking about them first, but instead of watering them down, he's constantly admitting more details than he should, which indicates he knows a lot more than has been revealed and blurts it out without thinking.

Seems like everyone thought trump was for sale

Nine days after Donald Trump won the presidency, as scores of supporters clamored for meetings with his transition team, the Hollywood producer of “The Apprentice,” Mark Burnett, reached out to one of Trump’s closest advisers to see if he would sit down with a banker who has long held ties to Russia.

The banker, Robert Foresman, never got the role he was seeking with the fledgling Trump administration. But he has recently attracted the attention of congressional investigators as one more name on an expanding list of Americans with established ties inside the Kremlin who appears to have been seeking access to the newly elected president’s inner circle

One year ago, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., sent a letter to Foresman, saying the Senate Intelligence Committee “has reason to believe that you sought to engage the Trump campaign in discussions concerning outreach from senior Kremlin officials.”

Sad but predictable to see the usual SJW suspects here trying to double down on the disgusting campaign to blacken the reputation of a bunch of schoolkids who got racially harassed by a homophobic hate group.

Good comprehensive breakdown of what actually happened here:

https://youtu.be/EZTDIoywwGk


Not a great few days for the credibility of either the mainstream media or loony leftists. ANYTHING is justified to get a dig in at Trump or anyone even expressing support for him, it seems.

The video quite comprehensively breaks down what ACTUALLY happened with lots of video evidence from different sources. People can review the video evidence and decide for themselves if it matches the narrative that the left is trying to create.

But if entrenching yourself deeper in your tribal hole makes you feel happier, be my guest. You're only demonstrating to the World what colossal hypocites PC preaching types are.

And attempting to imply racism because I used the verb 'to blacken' ... come on, this is some sort of 4Chan trolling to make the PC crowd look even worse - right?

Wow - Didn't realise there was a basketball game going on at the scene of the event - didn't show up on any of the many videos of it.

Keep doubling down - decent people would change their opinion and apologise when the facts came out. aka: https://youtu.be/a8YN8eeacyI


Less decent, but at least minimally intelligent people would just shut up and hope everyone else forgets about what a fool they have made of themselves.

But it takes a special kind of zealot to go all in on a campaign to try to blacken the reputations of the victims though.

trumps "offer" to re-open the government is up, with a huge effort to mislead press & public:
1) They keep calling this the BRIDGE Act. It is not, its just current DACA
2) This has *massive* asylum restrictions

This bill appears to ban asylum for Central American Minors who try to apply at the US border! It says that if you're a Central American Minor, you MUST apply in your country or you are ineligible for asylum. And then the bill sets a cap! Smells of Millers work.

Under the so-called "compromise" bill, only 50k Central American Minors allowed to apply for asylum each year, and only 15k asylum applications can be granted. AND it wouldn't be done by immigration judges, it would be a totally nonreviewable DHS decision. And no judicial review!

https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

There is a 20% expansion in immigrant jail beds. That is a massive expansion for the Trump administration's ability to keep families detained and part of their long-term strategy.

This bill would be one of the single-biggest dismantling of America's systems of humanitarian protections ever. It's Stephen Miller's dream bill.

He's got previous.

Just ignore him. You'll only encourage him with your interaction.

Actions like shouting over racist verbal abuse from a bunch of homophobes you mean? Didn't realise that was a no-no in the PC lexicon of behaviour. You learn something new about the SJW mentality every day!

Or standing still and not responding when an angry guy storms up to you and starts banging a drum in your face? I didn't realise that standing still and being quiet was racism all of a sudden. That was a pretty 'Dr Evil' looking grin though - into the woodchipper with him, or at least a punch to the face (Twitter of course doing nothing about those violations of their terms of service, advocating physical violence on someone. No surprise there).


This story is going to be the gift that keeps on giving - the loony SJW fringe doesn't like their victimhood being usurped it seems (after all, if you are an SJW then being some sort of 'victim' is the only thing that defines you) and will do anything to try to defend the manifestly indefensible.

Luckily, not everyone buys into the victim hood narrative that the social justice mob is trying to trap them in: https://youtu.be/z0WBbXqVlAE

Absolutely nothing there relating to the Covington kids and the events that hit the media.

The more you try to defend what happened with the misreporting and misrepresentation of events surrounding the 'MAGA teens' (in this case by doing the internet equivalent of flailing your arms and going 'but what about....') , the worse you look.

Just be a decent human being and admit that the kids were the victims of extremely poor news reporting and prejudice on the part of pundits desperately trying to score political points. Lots of people who made snap judgements based on a bunch of lies and spin have had the common decency to revise their position. But it seems that being exposed as wrong just has flipped a switch in a special kind of person.

What with the Buzzfeed debacle and this happening a day or two apart, this may well be a turning point in how the general public view the media and the extremely vocal minority of PC zealots. Not before time (Buzzfeed doubling down too - quelle surprise!).

You're entirely right. There are some people who seem determined to see this entirely from their own point of view.

I can understand why all the "activists" on that day acted as they did. That doesn't mean I agree with them.

I can't really understand why such a school would allow their students to get involved and act the way they did. Unless of course said school is a breeding ground for s.

And given whats going in with "news" in America a few protesting rich kids getting the stty end of the stick isn't really the end of the world, is it?

That's because it was a response to this, which is why I quoted it in that reply:-

"But it takes a special kind of zealot to go all in on a campaign to try to blacken the reputations of the victims though".

You'd condemn the above as victim shaming / abuse, yes?
