I've lost track — which wave of feminism are we in now?

unless maybe the diocese threw them under the bus, due to all the hot water it's already in.

If it's CNN it has to be good, right?

Wouldn't mind seeing them apologize for that too.

This has turned into one of those things that make people wonder if Trump didn't set it all up from the beginning in a genius 10-dimensional chess kind of way, to make his enemies explode in a tornado of lies and incompetence.

Now it's coming out that the Indian "Vietnam combat veteran" the media has been fawning over was never in combat and was never in Vietnam, but was instead a refrigerator technician in California. :lol: You couldn't make this stuff up — no one would believe it.

I bet 200,000 new Trump voters for 2020 were just created this week.

People had the time to track down this kids real identity and find try to get his mother fired but not to watch the full video, sickening.

When I first saw a photo of it I thought the kid was a tool, but after mere minutes I saw he did no wrong. Its disgraceful that people were calling for violence against these children without even looking into it.

The fact that even now people are still trying to paint them as the bad guys is shameful.

And white people are privileged even though Smiling is enough for people to call for your death, whilst a native American can get in the face of a child and be called a victim. Black men can shout racial abuse to children and protest against rights for "fa***ts" and not face an online mob.

Nick Sandmann's behavior was distinctly odd. No one I know would persist in such a position with such a facial expression. Nathan Phillips' behavior was something you see on the National Mall all the time, a cultural expression involving music and chanting. I believe Nick Sandmann is lying and has not been entirely vindicated.

It's also not hypocritical to be intolerant of intolerance.

As autists we should know not to judge people for odd behaviour. His behaviour was neither aggressive or rude.

Nathan Phillips got right up into the face of a child banging a drum trying to intimidate a kid. Then he lied about them to gain political points claiming they were shouting "Build the wall" when the video shows they didn't.

You might believe Nick Sandmann is lying but what do you even know about him? He is 16 he wore a MAGA hat and smiled.

It was passive aggressive, just like his hero, who claims to know nothing when confronted with his racism. The assertion that they shouted build the wall has been neither confirmed or discounted.

There was a video they didn't shout build the wall.

It was passive for sure he literally just stood there, aggressive? No the old man was the aggressor the kid just stood his ground in the face of a bully.
