    "Former President Donald Trump recounted a story to reporters on Thursday about being involved in a helicopter emergency landing with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

    Asked by a reporter about Vice President Kamala Harris’ previous relationship with Brown and whether it helped her career trajectory, Trump said he knew Brown “very well” and told a story about the alleged helicopter incident......


    ".....Brown, however, rejected Trump’s account as “obviously wrong” during a phone call later Thursday with CNN, saying: “I’ve never been in a helicopter with him in my life.”...

    "..... was on a helicopter with Jerry Brown and Trump, and it didn’t go down,” Newsom told the Times, saying that Trump repeatedly brought up the possibility of crashing.

    Trump doubled down on the story Friday, claiming he had not confused the former San Francisco mayor with the former California governor. “First of all, it was in New Jersey, not California, and it was Willie Brown, not former Governor Jerry Brown,” Trump posted on his Truth......"

    I scrolled. Someone needs to fact check these "fact checkers".


    For example: " That data is preliminary and incomplete, covering around three-quarters of the country, but..."


    So their evidence is preliminary and incomplete but they firmly can state someone elses statement is a lie. Let's bring back professional journalism.

    If the data is incomplete but you're pushing your stats as facts, then you're lying. It's pretty simple.

    That was very professional since everything was plainly explained to you.

    You're genuinely upset that crime is down.

    You need to ask yourself why your emotions are ruling you.

    Before Trump was elected he said he knew nothing about David Duke.

    Trump had entertained a run for some conservative reform party and said this about David Duke:

    New York Times, Feb. 14, 2000: Mr. Trump painted a fairly dark picture of the Reform Party in his statement, noting the role of Mr. Buchanan, along with the roles of David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and Lenora Fulani, the former standard-bearer of the New Alliance Party and an advocate of Marxist-Leninist politics.
    “The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani,” he said in his statement. “This is not company I wish to keep.”

    What I dis not get is why lie about it. Just disavow Duke's endorsement, like Trump did and move on. Which Trump did. But no Trump had to say he knew NOTHING about David Duke.
    This was one of the first times I knew we might be in trouble. This is one of the stupidest things to lie about... I just could not figure out why.
    Its just a pathological type of reflex for him this constant lying. Then it came to light he had said even more about Duke. But Trump kept denying.

    Then I read about the 3000 lawsuits BEFORE the run for president. Bad, bad sign. I just thought he was a clown entertainer/business failure. I did not think people would actually vote for him.
    When he won the Republican nomination I knew we truly had a democracy. I remember Boots saying voting was useless.
    I guess Boots is dead or something.

    Killed what? They are losing and are obviously desperately trying anything at this point. And again what did he kill? He just repeated the same talking points he’s been spouting off, and on the CNN interview went on this weird rant about how Walz doesn’t truly love his wife because he didn’t hug her in front of the cameras I guess. He’s just proving time and time again that if you don’t agree with his opinion then you are wrong. Dude is a arrogant

    Don’t forget he is also the governor who spoke after the debate and meeting with Biden. He said he’s fine. Walz is a radical and will never be for the American people

    The journalists are fact checking the politicians' statements. They're finding Trump gives a lot of wrong data and facts.
