If you haven't seen this stuff before, it's not true. There is no such person as Carolyn Gombell.

But it will go all the way around the world three times before people understand that it's a made up thing - put out there to show that the Joe Scarborough stuff is BS too (although there was a real person in that story).

people, some of the finest people. Anyway I think it's true, because it might be true, and besides many fine people are saying.

Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't. But there are many kinds of true - true relative to what?

Let me remove my hat and stand in solemn silence for a moment.

Wait a minute. I never wear hats. Hate 'em.

So, (in the inimitable words of Emily Litella) Never Mind.

Why won't he just tell the world that he didn't kill Carolyn Gombell?

Many people just want justice for Carolyn.

...to get back at Trump for his BS and to show just how easy it is to manufacture and spread this stuff.

While I am amused tonight (and may participate tongue-in-cheek in future threads) I am also dismayed to realize that a week or a month from now there will be people actually believing it.

it. Everyone is open that it's made up, but it's fictitious (unlike the Scarborough/Intern lie) and excellent noise with which to flood the Trumper channel.

Don refused to act to prevent the spread of C19, and because he refused to act, 100,000 people are dead. Just as sure as if he had pulled the trigger....

Honestly, it would not surprise me if he really did have a few "hits" under his belt. He's too much of a pansy to do it himself, but I have no doubt that he would have put contracts out on a few "inconvenient" people.
