Doubtful but at least it can be pointed out that he’s actively avoiding it.
I’m afraid you may be unfamiliar with Mr. lining. Some of us are not completely sure that he is completely ingenuous or completely motivated by a search for objective truth.
Rumor has it that foreign agents post messages which are not completely true on some message-boards to disrupt American dialog. I am not completely sure that SDMB is immune from such attacks.
As others have noted: Clinton Body Bags | Snopes.com
And as I have said to you before, you need to find better news sources. Yours are crap.
I think this pretty much sums up the Trump administration. The number of half-baked shady and flaky characters associated with this administration is incredible.
Led by that ultimate half-baked shady and flaky character, Trump himself, but including guys like Scaramucci, that other guy who was/wasn’t going to comply with a subpoena, some other guys I’m forgetting, and Omarosa.
It’s actually quite entertaining, though in a train-wreck kind of way.
The SDMB can’t possibly be a very rewarding assignment for such an agent. Maybe the agent is being punished for some transgression. The SDMB could be their Siberia.
Well, Siberia is their Siberia, but you know what I mean.
Has SHS ever* guaranteed* something somebody else didn’t do something? I agree she should have said the President’s comments speak for themselves, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask someone to guarantee somebody else didn’t do something.
They’re asking if Sanders had heard the tape, and therefore had knowledge of it.
“Can you stand at the podium and guarantee the American people will never hear Donald Trump utter the ‘n-word’ on a recording in any context?"
That’s not the same thing as asking if she heard a tape. Asking if she had heard the tape is a reasonable question. Asking if she can guarantee it doesn’t exist is not reasonable.
Drop this stupid hijack. One, it’s false. Two, it’s stupid. Three, it’s irrelevant to this thread.
Everyone else - you don’t need to take the bait every time. If you do, the factual refutation is fine, but this is not:
Don’t imply that other posters are Russian trolls, or posting dishonestly.
The first comment could just be a stupid throw away line. The next two, especially the cigar or pool stick line - This isn’t argument, it’s not even partisan commentary. I can’t see as anything other than trolling. This is a warning for trolling.

Report and move On, I say.
I’ve heard a few people elsewhere express a similar sentiment, and maybe I’m being naive, but I actually think if such a tape exists and is widely played, it would be quite damaging to him. Of course most people already believe he’s a racist, but belief and actually hearing that incendiary word are different. Right now, there is a fig leaf over his racism that allows his supporters/enablers to hide/deflect. (Perhaps not very convincingly, but still…) But with this - if it is true and taped - there is no hiding, no explanation or equivocation that would wash with the vast majority of people. And 45 might not give a shit, but congresspeople sure do.
There’s a lot of racism in this country, but we have at least progressed a metaphorical millimeter to a place where saying the n-word out loud is absolutely verboten if you want to maintain your reputation. Now, I’m not saying he’d be removed from office over it, because it’s not a high crime or misdemeanor, but I believe it would be very damaging nonetheless, and would ruin any chance of re-election, making him a very early, very lame duck.
Being wrong doesn’t conflict with board rules.
You just know that the folks around trump White House refer to it as “the n------- tape”.
