Yeah. People see a kid who's almost six feet tall and forget his 11 years old. Combed hair, clean face and hands is about the best you can expect from any of mine.

Here's something that bothers me - and I ask this in all seriousness. Are there any photos or video clips of 45 interacting with Barron like a real father? Playing video games with him? Splitting a bucket of KFC? Teaching him to play golf? Smiling or laughing together? I've never seen anything except a fleeting, superficial hug now and then. Seems pretty normal with his mother, his father - not so much. The relationship appears to be very cold, unlike other presidents and their kids in modern history.

Of the handful of cases that have gone to trial, most decisions have gone against J&J. A couple of women died before receiving their settlement.
Research is mixed and ongoing. IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) classifies it as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."

Spin. The question and answer were clearly in regards to Trump's response. His ego got the better of him.

*There were MANY similar responses.

ESPN pulls an announcer off a U of V game because his name is Robert Lee

Imam behind Barcelona terror attacks used human rights to fight deportation from Spain
The imam accused of masterminding the Barcelona terrorist attacks should have been deported at the end of his prison sentence for drug smuggling, but overturned the ruling by arguing it would breach his human rights, it has emerged.

Islamic preacher Abdelbaki Es Satty was told he must comply with an expulsion order when he left jail in April 2014, according to the Spanish daily, El Mundo.

But the 42-year-old Moroccan won an appeal against the decision after arguing his case in front of a judge.

And this is what we have to put up in Europe. This case is just one of thousands of similar cases. Even when they are officially deported they manage to stay, they use taxpayer money by getting free government supplied lawyers to keep them here because of their fu*cking "human rights"

If this turns out to be something that happened and they do not apologize profusely, I will quickly stop paying for and/or watching their network.

Everyone else who has studied the causes for, and knows the repercussions for the south following, the civil war should do the same. Get off your couches and easy chairs and get some sports related exercise yourselves and stop watching the overpaid crybabies play a game.

The statues are getting angry and are fighting back...

Just out of curiosity, checked out the site on that dude's shirt right behind trump. gods2 .com goes to honestfact .com where I learned that Cherokee indians are the real KKK slaves masters, Republican Senators blocking Trump are Cherokees & Mormons etc.

Here he is,,, ESPN's Robert Lee... removed from his pedestal. Lefties are having a party.

Rally in Phoenix was half empty and many of those present were reporters. Couldnt fill a room. Sad.

Sounds like McConnell and potus are breaking up. Apparently there was a phone call between them on the 9th which descended into much shouting and cursing. Ouch. Don't piss off turtle man. Turtle man's a very experienced political player and a survivor.

Heavily armed Antifa pussies on patrol in Phoenix

And there were heavily armed right wing militia at Charlottesville, no? What's your point? AFAIK, no weapons were fired at this event.
What makes you sure those videos / pix are genuine and from this event? The right generates plenty of their own fake news.
These protesters don't look too threatening - only ones in helmets and heavily armed here are the police...http://www.npr.org/2017/08/22/54537...-meet-trump-supporters-ahead-of-phoenix-rally

Re the pepper spray - there's controversy as to who started the confrontation. There's video of a water bottle being thrown by a protester, that's it. The Phoenix police have a reputation for being a too quick to go on the offensive...
But no injuries... and nobody run over.
Meanwhile inside, the message was pretty far off the rails again...
BTW, why is a sitting president having re-election campaign rallies 7 months into his term? Who does that?

I am pro gun ownership but I don't think crowds should be allowed to loiter the streets with automatic weapons, especially in tense demonstrations. I mean, what could possibly go wrong ?

Indeed the Right wing militia were heavily armed and so were the Antifa. They both came ready to fight. The local police didn't help by allowing them too close to each other... perhaps on purpose.

Every time the lefties have a protest you NEVER see the right wingers coming in to counter protest, but every time the right protests the Antifa and lefties have a counter protest with the intention to provoke and allways create havoc.

My point is that BOTH sides are to blame, with the lefties creating 1000 times more havoc than the righties.

If I had my way I would ban at least 8-9 or more groups, both left, right and gangs.

The left have far, far more experience in creating fake news and since they dominate the news media by over 90% it's easy to see who are the main BS's... by a long distance.

You accused me of putting a 2015 picture from last weeks protest, a few pages back, now you're doubting the validity of this video. Don't forget that the Liberal Media only shows one side of the story or whatever is convenient for their agenda. The other side of the story has to be found elsewhere.

Not "a water bottle only". They threw watter bottles and rocks at the police. The link you put up a few lines up says so. Even CNN says so

And why not? Trump does it and I think it's a great idea... He should do it every week, just to see Liberal Media go apesh*t

I correctly called you out on that because an image search turned up the exact same photo in several articles from a 2015 event.

I don't know where that video came from. After seeing pix of crowds in Cleveland (typo corrected) that were just posted, labeled as allegedly being trump crowds in Phoenix, I'm justified in having my doubts.

Hah! You're describing exactly what the alt right media does. Big time cherry picking on their part.

BTW - per a reliable source with a friend who was actually there - there were a few right wing militia, a few antifa, but mostly ... MOSTLY folks in normal street clothes carrying signs, as seen in the NPR link I posted. Overall peaceful crowd, amicable interactions with the police. By the time the police started with pepper spray, most of the crowd was already dispersing on their own.

And why not? Trump does it and I think it's a great idea... He should do it every week, just to see Liberal Media go apesh*t

It reeks of desperation.
More like he's doing it because he's a 2 bit banana republic dictator wannabe, and anything he makes on swag & donations is going in his pocket - most likely to cover his legal fees...

Civilian semi-automatic rifles. Big difference. Automatic guns require a special license and you can't walk around with them.

Is the video with Palm Trees is from Cincy? lol

Just for the record, not all smoke is pepper gas, some just to scare people into thinking it's pepper so they go home.
