i'm saying the evidence of who published first is not relevant.

Except for the fact that one is a plagiarist and one isn't.

"Are you aware that Carson endorsed Trump?"

Yes I am. Carson endorsed Trump 2 days after Trump basically had Carson's op-ed done under Trumps name.

Do you think her supports know that she and her beard are murderers?

Nope.

Vince Foster was murdered 23 years ago.

One third of her supporters weren't even a gleam in their un-named sperm donor's eye back then.
They just think she's a chubby old lady with a screechy voice who promises to give them free stuff.
Sort of like a Granny Claus in ugly leisure suits.

Another third still can't read or speak English (Spanish or Ebonics only).
Or have so much drug induced brain damage they cannot remember that far back.

The remaining third wouldn't care if she was on death row for murder - they would still vote for her.

NOTE:
For those with a recent liberal Arts degree from a leftist college - You only require three thirds to equal 100%.

MLK was caught plagiarizing but he is still revered.

Didn’t hurt him same as his womanizing.

A lot was made of that when it was used out of context.

See Snopes for the reality:

It's true that Trump made the "shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue" remark widely attributed to him across standard and social media sites.

However, the (somewhat clumsy and crass) comment also generally appeared absent of its broader context, which pertained to the loyalty of his followers, and not an actual desire, intent, or interest in shooting any individuals for the sole reason that he believed it would have no effect on his popularity.

Snopes leftwing and untrustworthy. But I stand by the fact that the statement is absolutely TRUE. He could and there would be those that would ignore the incident or defend him in spite of it.

“Snopes leftwing and untrustworthy.”

Gee no kidding. You just figure that out?

So you think Trump is gonna shoot someone huh?

And his supporters won't think it's wrong?

What I quoted had nothing to do with Snopes politics.

They happened to post something that showed the context around what Trump said and you choose to ignore.

Here is it is again, it doesn't seem to have sunk in for you.

It's called hyperbole.

It is call being full of BS, but that doesn’t make it any less true. Your reaction shows just how true it is.

With your paranoia you better wear a bullet proof vest.

Especially around Donald Trump, he might shoot you!

Just to make his supporters happy.



Look, Rocky shot someone's head off!

He just might not that it would bother you. There isn’t a dman thing Trump could do that would. Another cult of personallity, like 8 years of such isn’t enough for you.

It seems like you have a death wish, that’s a little scary

Throwing out the cult dig, huh?

No Wonder we can’t have a reasoned debate. Oh and BTW I haven’t declared my support 100% for any candidate as of yet.

How about you?

If you plan to blow smoke we can’t have a reasoned debate. Trump following has ever earmark of a cult. But that the thing about cults people on the inside don’t see it.

>> The hold that Trump has on people is amazing.

You’re criticizing Carson for being a coward.

Strawman diversions

Ever??
Do you miss pissant or are you channeling him?

Wanna throw out the Hitler meme too so you can show again that you have nothing to debate with?

Kasich? Or was it Rubio? He quit you know.
