If She Said It, It Must Be True

a reporter claimed that Trump's campaign manager roughed her up at a rally. she filed a police report and the news outlets reported that the manager had been "charged" with battery. that was a lie. the first of many. he was not charged; he was given a notice to appear. two very different things.

for over a week the allegation was treated as a fait accompli by all news organizations. but unbeknownst to the reporter who made the allegation and the media who slavishly reported it as fact, there was surveillance video that recorded the encounter. in her allegation, the reporter said that the manager grabbed her arm very roughly and pulled her so hard she almost fell to the ground. in her police report she said she never touched trump and thus there was no reason for the rough treatment by the manager, cory lewandowski.

the video begs to differ. it clearly shows that cory neither grabbed her or pulled her, roughly or otherwise. he simply put his arm between her and trump as he was catching up to trump and then placed himself between them without even looking at her.

the video also shows quite clearly that she lied in her police report. she definitely grabbed trump's arm, and then you see him pull his arm from her grasp. no reasonable person could dispute either move.

after prosecutors saw the video they said they would not charge lewandowski. but of course they wouldn't. it was ridiculous from the start. but here's the thing; lying in a police report is a crime, a criminal offense. and the video showed proof that the reporter lied when she said she never touched trump.

so here is an actual crime, with actual evidence. shouldn't the reporter be charged? and here the word "charge" is used correctly. of course she should. but she isn't being charged even though a conviction could be almost guaranteed. the zealous prosecutors who were so eager to investigate and pursue her dubious claim against trump's manager, are now suddenly very, very cautious. and the equally zealous and eager news outlets have completely dropped the story. why? because it doesn't fit their Goddamned narrative of woman reporter good, trump and anyone associated with him bad.

does anybody remember phil donahue? he was a talk show host and he started this particular narrative. his version was women good, men bad. every day he hammered that theme on his show, and now it is part of the culture. i wish somebody would prosecute that asshole.

A Forum Here, A Forum There

i write on forums occasionally. if there's an interesting exchange i'll post it here sometimes. the following is an example. the text in bold and underlined was written by someone else. the regular text is my response.

Trump was caught completely off guard.

and it seems to be a streak. first, he was completely unprepared for the last debate and got hurt bad because of it. then he let chris matthews sucker punch  him on the abortion issue and completely fucked up the answer. that did damage that may not be fixable. we'll see in new york.

and today in an interview he speaks favorably of marco greaseball rubio and doesn't rule him out for vp, which is just fucking nuts. trump needs my help so fucking bad.

But you know what it shows? Ted Cruz is an absolute despot and as corrupt and crooked as they come.

which i saw on day one. glad you guys are finally catching up. any man with even an ounce of integrity would refuse the colorado delegates and insist on a vote. but that wouldn't even occur to ted crudz. he is a vain, self-centered, narcissistic piece of cuban shit. the fact that he considers this a victory should tell you all you need to know about that slimebag. and the fact that he has gotten ANY votes shows how low the american electorate has sunk.

is a situation Cruz was able to exploit to his benefit and Trump wasn’t. Trump can’t call foul play. Ted did his homework, Trump didn’t.

that's not homework, gallo. it's the kind of deceitful, corrupt, hidden, backroom bullshit they pull in thirdworld shitholes like mexico. not surprising you recognize it and consider it valid. not your fault; nobody gets to choose where they're born. but it shows once again how powerful childhood influences of culture have on a being. and why the founding fathers required that presidential candidates must be natural born citizens. cruz isn't qualified and neither was obama, but he couldn't be questioned because he's a negro and they're sacred now in america. but it sure is a powerful argument that only natural born white males should be eligible, because they're the only ethnicity and gender that can be held accountable (the standards had already collapsed or else that traitor geo w. bush would have been prosecuted).

we used to be above this kind of shit. this is where political correctness leads. the toilet. and we're already in it. welcome back to guadalajara.

i try to go easy on you, and then you come up with something like the homework statement and my temper goes right out the window. nothing personal. just debate.

Here is an idea: Trump/Sanders 2016.

actually, i think this is kind of an interesting idea. i like it. if i can get through to the campaign i'll suggest it and give you the credit.

i don't know where your optimism is coming from, MW. i'm not sure you realize how badly trump has been damaged.

on march 17, 2003 i told lyn nofziger i would be a republican no more forever. i'm so far ahead of the curve it astonishes even me. the gop doesn't deserve anybody's vote. they are dog shit wrapped in cat shit in a bucket of horse shit.
