You refuse to look at a full set of facts on Noem, which is why we will never agree. I'd love to find the local reports from 20 years ago. Emotion, when someone boasts about killing a 14 month old dog and calling it a danger to people with no reports or facts to back that assertion up, is emotional for anyone who cares about dogs. That doesn't mean they can't decipher fact from spin. It make take a few minutes but, it can be done. From her own written words and interviews, she contradicted herself all over the place.
When the media came out with false reports about Nicholas Sandmann being hostile to a Native American, even Fox jumped on it. It was quickly retracted. When I get something wrong, I'm quick to admit it, for two reasons 1. I remain objective and listen to information others have. 2. I delve into researching beyond the media mob spin.
With Vance, I did believe it. What a crazy thing for the left to make up. There well may have been something in this book for them to take out of context. I haven't read it and have no intentions to so I can't say that with certainty. Yes_Goddess is a personal friend of mine. He asked before pointing this out on line. I told him to do it because it leads to good conversation. I'm not concerned for being called out. No one is right 100% of the time and it is getting harder and harder to find pure information. As I said, Trump's campaign is in a awkward spot. Continue to talk about unusual masturbation or just let it go?
I am not a journalist. If I was publishing something beyond a handful of posters, I'd have a team vet it. What I like about this site and miss about MF is that most of us share our views and do not hesitate to admit when we were wrong. I've changed my opinion on various subjects. Listen with an open mind is my motto.
The "Pussy tape" exonerated Trump. Anyone who listened to it, in entirety, with an open mind knows that. I sought it out and listened to it twice.
I found and listened to Vance's speech as well. He said what he did. I don't give a darn what he believes personally. I do not want him to bring Trump's chances down. Did you see the lame back peddling he did? It only made it worse. MY opinion and not that of the media mob.
