"Some people have written that she was not allowed to speak." WHO?

I know that man constantly says "People are saying" or "everybody thinks" when he's pulling a personal opinion out of the black hole of his soul, but he said in the midst of railing against the Khans that people had written that--probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to speak, I don't know but people have said, people have written that. (not word for word but close)

Who? Show me. I want to know who else thought she wasn't allowed to speak because of course that's what Muslims do.

The ease with which he lies and the number of them that slide by is starting to get to me.

He will say something, then say, "I'M not saying it," and point to others who said it first. So Trump's saying it doesn't count. In his mind, he's absolved of responsibility and accountability for saying it.

Generals had told him

Who Donnie Short Fingers? I would think if Flag Officers were telling you shit the media and America would like to know who they are.

Let me guess... they can't yet be revealed, but believe me I have the greatest Generals supporting me

friends would handle snakes and drink poison. There are people and regimes that happen to be Muslim but ALSO happen to practice a form of it that does oppress, but just as with all religions (in my opinion) the desire to control comes first in those people and religion becoming an excuse for it comes later.

Inculcate these rules into your child

Rule 1: Always lie, lie frequently, inconsistently, unabashedly and you will never get feel the embarrassment of guilt getting caught

Rule 2: Facts don't matter Speculation and opinion are as good as investigation and verification

Rule #3: The bad you did yesterday will be forgotten by the bad of today; what to speak of tomorrow

Rule #3: Only you matter

answering device since the Seventies. Remember Lee Attwater and Roger Ailes were masters of the Strawman,and now days,the over use of this technique is used by every interviewer. Strawmen are faceless fake individuals.
