I want to be clear: I'm not complaining about anything he said there. YOU are the one bitching and moaning with fake outrage about the term "Easter worshiper" because you supposedly think that obscures the fact they were Christians. I'm simply pointing out that "people" obscures the religion of the victims a lot more than "Easter worshiper" does. And very predictably you haven't the slightest problem with Trump's term. You're just pursuing rightwing fake outrage to turn this into a partisan issue.

Trump never bends over backwards to kiss the ass of Muslims, and therefore have to make a half heated attempted to do the same to Christians, without saying the word Christians.

That is pretty much the same thing Trump always tweets after these things. It's like some weird cuckold thing, Easter Worshippers isn't a thing, Christians don't worship Easter lol

of course you don't mind defending cuckoldry.

DSL - if you limited your response to words of only one or two syllables, he might understand some simple concepts. No guarantee, but worth a shot if you're going to waste time with the forum's designated ass clown.

The Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland metro areas all have relatively equal populations now (All between 2.0 and 2.2 M). However, Columbus was a distant third as recently as 1990 (1.3M) and has been growing more than twice as fast as Cincinnati for a while. Fair to think it will be the biggest metro area in Ohio by 2030. I guess it sort of already is if you consider that a significant portion of the Cinci metro area is in Kentucky.

Trump ultimately refused to speak with Mueller under any circumstances. He refused to answer ANY questions regarding obstruction, even in written from. Don Jr. refused to voluntarily speak with Mueller (per page 117 of the Report). Ivanka offered only written answers as well I think (though Mueller wasn't terribly interested in anythng she had to say).

Kushner, Manafort, Bannon, Stephen Miller all met with Mueller multiple times...

So naturally Trump bashes Mueller for not speaking to the important people in the campaign. If he had he would have learned the TRUTH

Refuses to speak to Mueller. Then bashes Mueller for not speaking to HIM or his idiot son.

Trump's lawsuit against Congressional Dems, attempting to block their subpoenas, is just a stalling tactic that will likely fail, say experts on both sides of the aisle. Love that Trump's lawyers are basing their legal argument on a Supreme Court decision from 1880 which was later overruled in 1927 (by the activist Taft Court!) .

of course DSL is mad that Trump didn't walk into Muellers perjury trap lol

[Dr. Strangelove]

Still not enough polls yet to say Mueller significantly hurt Trump, but the "total exoneration" certainly hasn't helped him.

The always-friendly Rasmussen poll has shown a sharp swing. On April 9th Trump was +8. Trump even tweeted to boast about it. In their poll released today he is now at -4.

It may or may not make a difference. The one possible charge Trump should worry about is Deutsche Bank. He used a piece of property as a demonstration of wealth that he fraudulently inflated when applying for the loan. Worth $14M and after a couple of years, appreciated to $19M. No biggie. But when Trump applied for the loan, he listed it as worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $291M. But when tax time rolled around, its value magically changed to less than $25M. Such inflated value in pursuit of a loan is called "bank fraud". The subpoena leveled at Deutsche Bank for the application could pose a problem for Trump. His tax returns could either corroborate the bank fraud accusation and could possibly expose him to tax fraud depending upon what is in his return. Given Trump's uncontrollable urge to lie, his tax returns might very well give him reason to be concerned. The fact that he has refused to release his returns (as is his right not to) only makes him look even more deceptive and slimy (if that's possible).

Since the Far Left is just now discovering that pretty much every singer that was around in the 20's and 30's has some racist songs in their discography (see below)...

I thought I'd post this story from the other end of the spectrum which I had never heard before.

Back in 2009 the Yankees settled a lawsuit for throwing a fan out of the game for attempting to go take a piss during "God Bless America" (which was then being played every 7th inning stretch). A cop told the fan to stay in his seat; no one was allowed to leave their seats during the song. He said he had to go to the bathroom and tried to walk around the cop. Thereafter a second cop showed up immediately and hauled him off outside. Wasn't charged with resisting in any way. Yankees ended up paying him $10,000.

So only ten years ago the Yankees were using NYPD officers to enforce 'respect' for the song and today they've banned the Kate Smith version entirely.

Yeah, I've questioned before the legality of some of his tricks he uses for property taxes. He's got limitless resources compared with most county auditor offices, however, and rather than be dragged through years of litigation, the local governments tend to end up caving in or compromising with him.

Just wait until they find out that 12 presidents owned slaves, 8 while in office, and even many (most?) of the remaining few presidents before Rutherford B. who didn't own slaves were like, "meh. whatever."

Kate Smith's statue has been taken down after being covered up. Now this statue of Bobby Clarke and Berine Perent has to come down immediately. The Flyers were the "Broad Street "Bullies". Bulling is not right or something to be proud of !! It amazes me that this club would self-impose such an intensive moniker. It's only right that they distance themselves from those players associated with the Broad Street Bullies, up to and including removing statues, and terminating staff. This is a disgrace. (Clarke is still currently an executive with the team)

This monstrosity at Detroit Tigers Comerica Park should (and will be) taken down shortly. Or there will be more riots again. He should also be kicked out of the HOF, his Name and records will be stricken from all Detroit Tiger statistics. And never spoken again!!
