2. Are they doing the recreation of General Washington taking over the airports?

That's the highlight of any American History conference!

Weirdo swamp geezer

4. They just want to rewrite all of the History books.

Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States is their biggest target.

Nitwit Lite finishes his spiel at 7:45 to make way for the Nitwit in Chief.

vertical. He leans to his left side all the way through his word salad.

And it is a word salad. Write about one hundred words on a piece of paper. Make several copies of the page and then cut the pieces of paper so that each section contains one word. Throw the scraps of paper in a bowl and pull them out at random. There. That's what's he saying.

9. Too much time watching beauty pageants.

He doesn't know that there are teams of speech writers generating whole sentences for him.

10. "and then, Abraham Lincoln told George Washington that Donald Trump would be the greatest potus

in the universe, but the bad black people started a riot and ruined everything."

11. You left out the "Sir" and the crying steelworkers. NT

13. Certainly answers the question about why people support Trump

Yes, it was racism all along. Yes they are ALL racist. That doesn’t mean other, non Trump voters can’t be, it’s means his demographic is holding on to a reality that only exists when racism is the rule.

14. Does anyone have a list of the panelists?

I can't watch now to gradually compile the list and have Googled, trying to find the list of panelists, to no avail.

If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it. (I think I saw Ben Carson with the one screenshot I saw but am wondering if there are any other Black people or any POC on the panel.)
