If the Atlantic were sitting on this story hoping to release it closer to Nov. the Nancy P. salon video forced their hand. The Dem were desperate to get her off the news cycle and the Atlantic obliged.

However, without a video or audio tape the story is a bust and the MSM isn't going to run with it. Trump already has almost a thousand vets affirming their support. The MSM pushes this and Trump will have thousands more by next Friday.

No, this was about Nancy P. and the salon video backlash. Unfortunately, for the Dems the video with Nancy P. will likely be brought up each time she talks about the pandemic and safety.

So let me get this right. The Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces insults every American serviceman whoever died for this country and you think American citizens will be more upset over Nancy Pelosi's visit to a hair salon?

I believe the story 100 percent there is precedent for vile comments he has used before.

Sarah huckster the queen of lying nope, Bolton didn't say it wasn't true he just didn't hear it. Others loyal trump cronies.
I'll take a list of people willing to go on the record by name -- many of whom no longer work for the administration and some (like Bolton) who flat-out hate him -- than anyone too chickens*#t to identify themselves.

Trump-haters view him as a one-dimensionally evil human being with no redeeming qualities, no good motives and nothing but bad intentions across the board. If you asked them to say one good thing about Trump, they wouldn't be able to do it.

One of these points of view is completely mental. The other is rational. There's a very good reason why TDS porn is so profitable.

TDS is a debilitating disease. It doesn't kill like Covid, but it seems to destroy the brain.

They were all with Trump during the alleged incident and they're saying The Atlantic article is completely false:

-Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Former White House Press Secretary
-Hogan Gidley, Former Deputy White House Press Secretary
-Dan Scavino, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications
-Jordan Karem, Personal Aide to President Trump
-Johnny DeStefano, Former Counselor to the President
-John Bolton, Former National Security Advisor
-Mick Mulvaney, Former Acting White House Chief of Staff
-Stephen Miller, White House Senior Advisor
-Tony Ornato, Then-Secret Service Special Agent In Charge Of The Presidential Protective Division
-Derek Lyons, Staff Secretary and Counselor to the President
-Dan Walsh, Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/media/w...tory-is-false/

Anonymous sources? The Atlantic article is standing on very flimsy legs.

11 named sources vs. allegedly 3 or 4 anonymous sources.
Who do you believe?
Wouldn’t count anyone still working in the administration.

Sanders and miller have shown all they know how to do is lie.

And Bolton hasn’t said he didn’t say it. Bolton said he wasn’t there, but it wouldn’t surprise him.

Caught on tape vs. anonymous sources.

I believe the anonymous sources every day of the week including Sunday.

This entire fake news story was carefully orchestrated from the beginning.
Was there ever any doubt?

But if you want to understand the real Joe Biden, it's a guy that dodged the draft because he allegedly had asthma, but then was crass enough to play college football while some other guy went to Vietnam in his place.

The real Joe Biden repeatedly and publicly accused the innocent truck driver involved in the collision that killed his first wife and daughter of being drunk, even though there was never any indication whatsoever that he was not sober.

What sort of ******* does something like that?

More to the point, this invented offense is exactly the sort of sleazy tactic the Democrats are now famous for using when the vacuous ideology of identity politics doesn't get the job done.
This story has ZERO to do with Biden.
Start another thread about Biden lying if that is what you want to talk about....oh wait, you have.

He's a massive leftist and therefore biased. None of the rest matters. The left is incredibly desperate and will go to any lengths. I almost feel bad for them. I'm an independent, and like many independents, I think the left has gone over the edge, hard. You could have had us possibly with different choices, because we are not all Trump "boot lickers" but you are just scary now.

Why not just let the election happen without all the last minute drama.

Let’s see.

Named sources who may face serious backlash if found lying vs. anonymous sources who have zero liability.

I think the anonymous sources are telling the truth!!!
