Allegedly. The judge in that case said he never saw a single piece of it.

About the same as when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. 🙂

I’m quite amused, in a rather macabre and sad way, that Trump’s mouthpiece\* says she “misspoke one word”. WTF? No, you lying sack of turds; you did not misspeak; you flat out lied. You are a liar. Your boss is a liar. You have neither respect for nor knowledge of truth. Shut up.

\*Have you noticed that nothing north of Trump’s neck is normal? He has a hairpiece (or what passes for one), mouthpieces (or what passes for same)…what’s he using for a brain piece? We already know that all his “normal” brain can think about when meeting females is pieces.

What used to be the ATF and the FBI regularly do weapons stings. Against potential terrorists. Those include right wing militias, teenage boys who start exhibiting disturbing behavior at school, gangs, and foreign terrorists. We don’t hear about most of them, and I’d willing to bet that most of them involve people born in this country.

Okay, everybody is seeing this whole Bowling Green thing as funny, and it is, but it’s not.

Somebody somewhere or Kellyanne herself screwed up and referred to an arrest of two terror suspects as a massacre in Bowling Green. There was no massacre. This is established fact. I remember when the event in question happened because I was driving past Bowling Green when I heard it on the radio, about two muslim guys being arrested for terrorist abetting, trying to ship supplies and whatnot. I remember shaking my head and thinking, ‘Whoa, little ol’ hicktown Bowling Green has terrorists and I just happen to be here when they got them. Weird.’

Now, [Dolt 45 is claiming the news media is covering up terrorist attacks.](http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-claims-media-is-covering-up-terror-attacks-citing-no-evidence/ar-AAmG36U?li=BBnb7Kz)  
Okay. Kellyanne, or whoever feeds her information screwed up. But rather than admit to their mistake in wording, that is, saying “massacre” instead of “terrorist arrest”, these people are insisting that this non-existent massacre really happened, and is being covered up.

And most of what I hear are people laughing, “Ah, ha, ha, that Trump bunch are INSANE! Well, I guess we couldn’t expect any better…Ha, ha, ha, that sure is funny…”

But no, goddammit, it’s not funny. We have people in power over us who, because of a slip of the tongue, are contriving to concoct a massacre that never happened because they can’t admit a mistake.

Or else, they are contriving to rewrite history to suit some nefarious purpose, probably to advance their anti-immigrant agenda, which is even worse.

Why isn’t the news media, which is being slandered here, bringing these maniacs down?

We KNOW there was NO MASSACRE. Why are we surrendering to these evil lunatics without a fight???

I’m being told in the[Oscar thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=818224) that people know we “hate Trump” and we should just be quiet for awhile and avoid polarizing the situation.

Maybe a variation of _Blade Runner’s_ Voight-Kampff test.
