Well I think CNN should know that right eyes are upon it too and that it will have to answer for what it does.

When CNN knew it had a story that was about to turn on it!

Was the removable arm rest removed?

[bgill]

That’s one big armrest. Trump would have had to have stood up to remove it as it would be impossible to remove it from a seated position. Then comes the question of where he would stow it. That’s hardly being inconspicuous.

Folks, I want to thank you for restoring my faith in at least some FReepers.

Nearly 20 years ago, this is what FR was about: articles from the lamestream media were posted and deconstructed, pointing out the flaws, omissions, and bias.

You folks have done a great job: all of you nearly instantly recognized the problem with this "fact check".

Others, not so much. At least two think I'm with "Correct The Record", which didn't even exist in 1998.

I was getting tired of the nutjob conspiracy theories and the click-bait blog articles. So, I decided to try an experiment and see if there were any traditional FReepers left.

There are, and thank God.

PS to Fred: I use AdBlock, so no one -- either CNN or blog pimps -- get revenue from me. :-)

"My Chihuahua Just Farted and It Smells Like Clinton Defeat."

Woah dude... my chihuahua DID just fart, and it DOES smell like Clinton defeat. I was just hitting my doobie and thinking exactly that and then I read your post...

Dude, this is SO cosmic. It's def a sign, know what I mean?

Well maybe she IS that little in the end.

Bookmarking, that the seat arm doesn’t just flip up, also pics upthread of instruction manual & seat.

I am very well acquainted with the armrests in the posted “Braniff Airlines” first class seat.

I should have included you in my previous "thank you" posting, but you posted while I was composing it.

You are another example of the past greatness of Free Republic: someone with real-world experience, and historical knowledge.

If one can sort through all the noise, you can learn a lot by reading the comments.

Oh yeah, suuuure you were...

[HiTech RedNeck]

You really did not need the doobie, but in this case at least it did no harm :-)

I am very well acquainted with the armrests in the posted “Braniff Airlines” first class seat. Yes, the armest can be removed for the cleaning or removal of this seat from the aircraft...but, there are very few passengers, male or fmale that could pull the armrest upward out of it’s holding mechanism on the seat itself. The armrest is designed to be removed only for seat maintenance or cleaning. As usual anything CNN posts, writes or says has no truth to it at all. Please take what I pen as fact. I have been in airline aircraft maintenance for some 57 years, and I can assure you, that Donald J. Trump would not know how to remove that armrest, not would any other regular passenger, man or woman!!! This armrest dos not fold up...it must be manually pulled out by someone that knows exactly how to do it!!! End of story!!! Clinton News Network lies again!!!

The woman made is sound like it was an armrest in a car which is moved up or down easily. That center thing is NOT that. There is no way any guy would mess with/or remove that part of the seat to feel up the woman in seat next to him. Guys don’t like going to that much trouble, do they?

Accuser is a ninny.

[justlurking]

Hmmm, looks like I hit a nerve...

Which one are you? The nutjob conspiracy theorist or the click-bait blog pimp?

[eyeamok]

Does this mean she was hiding it up her skirt while the Donald was groping her, and his excuse for putting his hand up her skirt was to get the Armrest??

[Talisker]

You really did not need the doobie, but in this case at least it did no harm :-)

No I did need it - medical marijuana. If I don't smoke weed, I can't smell anything. So I would have TOTALLY missed that dog fart.

See, once there was this job? And I fell? And I hurt my elbow? And like, EVERYTHING is connected, dude.
