    Based on the comments it looks like this is currently being viewed exclusively by Trump supporters using this as a gotcha, when it's comical how often they say that none of the facts are in.

    What are you doing... you asserted that it was not covered in the mainstream before it became a scandal, and that's not true. NYT, AP, WP, etc all covered the attack. Presidential candidates tweeted about it. You seem to be stuck on the idea that this is something that only T_D is fixated on. It's a big story, when it was an attack and even more so now that it's be revealed to be a fabrication.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    I disagree with the sentiment that lefties "fell for it." I see that some people tweeted about it the day AP first broke the story and they should have been more careful. It certainly didn't dominate the news by any stretch. There's no relation in the way "the left" reacted compared to the avalanche it caused on the right. That's why I said: this is the most important thing that happened for Trump in his entire presidency. This story will not disappear for years, and the story will always be: the left completely fell for this hoax, and the left is staging hate crimes.

    I hate that we even talk about it. I hope they throw the book at this idiot.

    Meanwhile Trump is getting away with more abuse of power day by day. Says SNL "should be investigated." Says the NYT is "the enemy of the people" - the first time he has singled out a newspaper. Tries to sell nuclear technology to SA. Declares an emergency to circumvent congress's power of purse, which is completely unprecedented. Now says it's ok if North Korea wants to keep weapons. Says he doesn't believe crime statistics as they relate to mexicans because you "just have to look at prisons." Learned that Trump's now labor secretary Alex Acosta illegally signed a non-prosecution agreement without notifying the rape victims while he was prosecuting Epstein - who is, let us remember, a serial rapist billionaire who got off with a slap on the wrist after confessing of raping dozens of children. It appears - not in small part thanks to Alex Acosta who Trump just happened to see fit to become his labor secretary. And republicans in NC caught in MASSIVE voter fraud and face re-election.

    This was all in the past 7 days. And we're talking about some retard who thought he could get some positive publicity by staging a hate crime.

    Hmm, yeah, I think we agree ftmp.

    This just popped into my head, so it's probably pretty dumb, but I feel like this all might be a symptom of cultural convergence. Celebrity gossip used to be its own thing-- now it all relates to politics. When Mel Gibson was spazzing out with racist and anti-semitic fits, it wasn't a political thing. It wasn't a story about white male privilege. It was just a cover story for People. Now it all runs together. It's the era of Buzzfeed. A fake businessman reality TV star is our president. People only half jokingly talk about an Oprah/ The Rock ticket.

    Can we get a redo? The future is here, and it sucks.
