Yeah, but he's lying, so is Phillips, it's a tradition. It's not just the politicians why feel compelled to lie when getting to DC, it's the tourists too.

A classic example of how Russian hackers can manipulate the dialog. It is hearsay from someone who is not verified by any third parties.

They had to get permission to chant in unison? What else must they get permission to think?

Who do you get your permission from?

Which version of 'politburo' do you answer to?

stones...glasshouses

Student’s testimony appeared rather staged once he said they had to ask permission to chant. The NY Times better explains why.

In Mr. Sandmann’s statement, which was released by a public relations firm, he said he remained “motionless and calm” in an effort to defuse the situation.

He needed it edited by public relations firm? That makes it more honest?

Apparently the principle of Covington Catholic will be doing investigations with possible expulsions.

Is this what more easily happens now that a shutdown means no or a shortage of Federal oversight on National Monuments?

"Build that Wall", they chanted. We need more prisons now that violent confrontations and insulting others is encourage by The Don. Mafioso types love violent solutions. As The Don says, it’s just business - complete with a public relations firm writing the testimony.

Too many contradictory parties. Too many did not know who was who. Too many biased statement. Too little need to investigate since the powers that be are on shutdown. Only one conclusion is possible. Violence is encouraged and has increased because the president wants it and openly encourages it. Increasing hate (throughout history) makes such people more popular.

This event simply demonstrates what has been encouraged. Where is David Duke and Joseph McCarthy when we need them.
