Agreed.

holy shit NPR with a HUGE SCOOP today!
Trump Jr.'s 2017 Testimony Conflicts With Cohen's Account Of Russian Talks
https://www.npr.org/2018/11/30/67218820 ... sian-talks
wait no
This NPR story appears to be wrong. It notes that Trump Jr. told a Senate committee that a deal in Moscow died of "deal fatigue" by 2014. But that was a deal with the Agalarovs. He was also asked if a deal was in the works in 2015/2016 and said yes.

revised headline
Cohen's Account Of Russia Talks Raises Questions About Trump Jr. 2017 Testimony
https://www.npr.org/2018/11/30/67218820 ... sian-talks
Updated at 4:00 p.m. ET
Editor's note: An earlier version of this report mischaracterized an answer Donald Trump Jr. gave to Senate investigators in 2017 about the prospective projects his family was negotiating with people in Moscow.
what's up with these guys jumping the gun on multiple stories this week to trash the president, only to end up trashing themselves

Because the retraction never really matches the traction of the initial lie. These are not mistakes but propaganda.

I had a huge argument with a friend of 25 years over the whataburger MAGA hat boy story. He read that the boy deserved getting smacked because of his racist remarks and didn’t even matter that the media itself admitted that that witness wasn’t credible. The kid deserves it. Period!

The next and last argument with that friend was when he said that proud boys are white supremacists. I pointed out that they have members of all colors and religions. His response was....well, that’s the new thing...multiracial white supremacy. He read about it too...

San Antonio is a mid-level shit hole crowded U.S. area. Not necessarily related directly but still worth mentioning. I've been there many times and stayed for over a month at a time. The East, West, and Southern areas of the city are not good. The suburbs sprawl out forever and its hot as hell there. There's no "charm" to the area. The best places around are outside the immediate San Antonio area. San Marcos River, the cold springs, the lake country far north of the city and outside Austin are the best closest areas. Laredo and Acuna are somewhat close drives and not good "border" towns. There are tons of streets and signs only in Spanish. Its a majority "Hispanic" enclave.

Oddly enough this "Hispanic" knew what he was talking about...

It might be a shit hole, but it makes it even less plausible that two skinny white kids would be sitting at a whataburger in the middle of the night and casually discussing issues like these...

O I don't believe those two said shit about black people out loud in a public space. They are whimps but who knows nerds tend to inflate way more nowadays than once before. But if im beating then no I say no they didn't say shit like that. I think there is more chance of it being some kind of hoax for social media if nothing else. But likely its simply what it appears. A larger man say kids wearing shit he didn't like and that was that. Its a good lesson to get stronger and bigger and not appear so weak in public and to be aware of your surrounding and so forth. Those two likely had very little risk awareness temperamentally.
