Did anyone else see this !!

Last edited Fri Feb 3, 2017, 07:24 PM - Edit history (1)

It was on CNN. Wolf Blitzer broke the story.

Earlier today, the Trump Administration put forth several tapes that were allegedly captured in the raid on Yemen a few days ago.

Wolf Blitzer said those tapes were 9 years old!

Do they think they can continue to so blatantly lie to the American people??

I later lived in Cincinnati-- 1979-85 and went to a few ball games..
When they were owned by the nitwit...

But Riverfront was astroturf and it never looked like a ball park to me. :&gt

Although I did see "what's his name'' the gambler, cheater and wife beater... play... oh, yeah Pete Rose LOL...

I also remember once when the Cards came to town watching Ozzie Smith from right near third base...that was smooooth.....

back when "rooting for the Yankees was like rooting for U S STEEL."

That line up your right mid-50s. Then plus Eilie Howard, et al..
Earlier I even saw Joe D in center and the Mick in right..
I can remember the smell of the men's rooms..

Also Allie Reynolds, Vic Rashi, Johnny Mize, Lopat

and I went to Ebbets field a couple times and once to the Polo grounds..

Robinson, Pee Wee, Hodges, Mays,

Always with my Dad..

I was going to say something really rude about "Wolfie pulled his head out from under the Republican circle-jerk?" but that wouldn't be appropriate at all.

Wipe off and come to the light side, Wolf!

I was thinking about how cheato has issued a dress code telling women to dress like women... I calculated that he would be holding such bathing suit competitions with the staff by month's end, especially if he has a poolside seat... shopping for the new FLOTUS.

Maybe the White House gave only CNN the tapes? They have been pissed off at CNN for a while. They do not permit them into their daily news conference anymore, I hear.

Maybe they tried to pull a trick on them?

Why would they not think that? Clearly, they can.

They don't need all of us to believe the lies. Not even most of us. Just like they didn't need a majority of Americans to vote for the baby-man to initiate the coup.
