Ruh-roh. Looks like SOMEone's keister is in a sling. Sorry, Jennifer.

Better luck next time. If Woodward and Bernstein were alive today, they'd be proud of you, though. Next time, at least come up with a fictitious identity with pornographic connotations or something.

Enough is enough with this constant barrage of fake stories about Trump. Our side should routinely refer to every Democrat and mainstream media not by their actual name but (first name) Pinnochio, as in Joe Pinnochio, Kamala Pinnochio, Wolf Pinnochio, Anderson Pinnochio, Michelle Pinnochio ... we can call Barack Hussein just to mix it up a bit.

Interesting scenario that ,of a Supreme Court Justice suing an accuser, regardless of how solid a case he had.I think he would be advised against it, even (or especially) by his supporters.Could be judged an unprecedented conflict of interest.

I remember very well. Plus the fake Bush TANG story. Plus the fake Duke rape story. Plus a whole lot of fake stories from the media that were totally made up to do damage to conservatives.

Well now, the so called "news media" steadfastly refuses to police themselves. So where does that leave us? Eh.

A story that will live in infamy, above even “fake but true”.

The Atlantic article begins with this:

Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day.
My guess is that this was all started by David Frum. He's on record making that same crack in 2018.

Look at this FR article from 2018, Fox News: Trump takes heat over scrapped trip to cemetery in France:

David Frum, a speechwriter for former President George W. Bush, took to Twitter to slam the move, insisting that other transportation accommodations could’ve been made in case of poor weather.

“It's not even 60 miles from central Paris to the monument. If the weather is too wet & windy for helicopters, a presidential motorcade could drive the distance in an hour,” Frum tweeted. “On site, presidential advance could easily erect a tent to protect the dignitaries (and the presidential hair-do) from inclement weather.”

There is no record of President Trump worrying about his hair, but there is a record of Frum joking about it at the time.

I'm calling out Frum as the source of this hair comment that is behind The Atlantic article.

Hmmm. Let’s see... who’s not on the list?
Generally Kelly, please call your office!

Don’t assume the remaining 6 contain the leakers. It is more than likely the people making up the false claim were nowhere near the event.

Judge Jeannine had a video of Trump at a veterans cemetery standing the rain and he was using an umbrella. She also showed an email stating why Trump was not flying to the cemetery on the trip in question and the weather conditions were cited.

Someone tweeted that there were 16 people in the room then this is supposed to have happened. Ten have come forward and denied it. Who are the other six?

I like the way you think...

"The big lie is when someone from the MSM calls themselves a journalist."

That is definitely the biggest lie of 'em all.

“Hit has already been made...it doesn’t matter. They got what they wanted, and ready to issue next phony story!”

In the 2012 campaign Harry Reid claimed he knew Mitt Romney had not paid income taxes. The media dutifully reported Reid’s claims even though Reid offered no proof. It was a complete lie and Reid knew it. When questioned about the lie after Romney lost to Obama, Reid quipped something like, “Well he lost didn’t he?”

It’s been glaringly obvious in the last six months, roughly the period of the double whammy of the Covid Scamdemic, and the George Floyd virus of destruction, that FOX has overloaded it quotient of (”Fair and Balanced”) Liberal types (iow communists) in an especially annoying way. They’ve apparently had some internal directive to pump up the guest list, with yet more than the usual Donna Brazzile (Wife of DC Mayor Bowser) and the ubiquitous Juan Williams, the always annoying Richard Fowler, Ethan Bearman, Leslie Marshall, Chris Hahn, Richard Goodstein, and more I’m sure, but I don’t wanna get depressed everytime I think of a new one. By now it seems the Unacceptable ranks are nearly even with the Acceptable Ranks. FOX has always been led by the indispensable Tucker, who is head and shoulders above the rest. but on that side (our side) there’s also Laura , Hannity( though he’s REALLY inconsistent, and has too small and narrow a field of interest)Dan Bongino, Steve Hilton (right behind Tucker in my view) Jesse Watters, Judge Jeanine,Greg Gutfeld,Dagen McDOwell, Melissa Francis, Harris Faulkner (sensible but unexciting), fine guests Molly Hemmingway and the Indian attorney,and pretty girls Shannon Bream and Martha McCallum, then the humor crew Tyrus, Kat Timpf,Tom Shallue. If I left anyone out I apologize.It’s still a solid line-up but I can’t really penetrate the intricacies of just why they put so many Lefties on there—spouting the usual talking points, and annoying the hell out of GG and Jesse, especially when Juan Williams carries on pointlessly. Their “fair and balanced” tagline has always been their cover, but I wish they would just go “on record” as taking a stand of their own. Just what is the nature of this “marker” you say has been called in?

I agree. Trump should sue the writer of this lie for SLANDER.
