"It is, of course, totally possible that Trump is simply stuck in 1989 and has not yet heard about Reyes’ confession and all the DNA evidence."

Doesn't fit. No patriotic American would give tongue baths to the leader of Russia in 1989.

There's a group in England called the 'Flat Earth Society,' and what the name of that group implies is not true, no matter how many people believe it... and no matter how many deny that these men are innocent does not make them guilty after they have been cleared by the confession of another person whose DNA matched the sample found at the scene of the crime.

There are plenty of deniers out there that spew their misinformation about a number of things: the earth being round, we never really went to the moon, vaccinations cause autism, the Holocaust never happened, global warming is a hoax, Obama was born in Kenya, 9/11 was an inside job, no plane ever hit the Pentagon, etc., etc., and there is always some person like Alex Jones, or Orly Taitz, or Andrew Wakefield, that is motivated to perpetuate the misinformation for money, hate, politics, or some other thing that is beneficial to them, no matter how much damage they cause to others, so stop counting: it's not a democratic issue where votes count - it's either true or it's not - no matter how many people agree or disagree.

This is the sort of thing that has me convinced (among other things) that the engineers at Trump Airlines finally just told Trump 'OK, we were wrong, we installed your solid gold toilets and marble walls and the plane flies just fine' because they could not get him to understand that [too much weight in an aircraft] = [bad], even if that weight is in gold.

I love how his tweets are one step above coarse, simian grunts, where he throws out random adjectives as though communicating actual thought.

I look forward to the tape of The Donald working his charms on Montana Wildhack.

Can we see what heinous crimes we can get the trump clan to confess to? Heck, we could get them to confess to crimes they actually commited.http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q...

"They admitted they were guilty,” Trump said this week in a statement to CNN’s Miguel Marquez.

Donald, these are criminals. Black thugs. They lie. All the time. You can't believe a thing they say.

I'm just going to keep repeating this forever: The youngest kid was 14. FOURTEEN.

And though the cops are most at fault for coercing them and denying them access to parents or counsel, Turnip was the one who whipped up a massive frenzy of public hysteria. He is deeply, deeply to blame for what was done to those kids.

Mmm, yes and no. Being cunning is not the same thing as being smart.

Jukes: Sometimes the facts just aren't enough. I learned that watching Gov. Mike Pence "debate." More like dodge, duck, distract and distance.
