I thought Trump wants to Make America Great Again? Shoes made in China means No support for American workers

Fun Fact: Trump sneakers are made in China.

Please. He is too. https://www.factcheck.org/2018/04/david-hogg-at-school-during-parkland-shooting/ David Hogg at School During Parkland Shooting [...] One of the latest rumors — circulated in at least a dozen stories flagged as potentially false by Facebook users — claims that David Hogg, a senior named in previous false stories, was not actually at the high school during the shooting. Those stories are indeed false. The allegations are based on an out-of-context quote from Hogg. In a CBS News documentary, the 17-year-old said: “On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and rode as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting.” With a glaring spelling error in its headline, the website julyfourthnews.com declared on March 28: “David Hogg Unintentially Reveals He Was Not At School When Parkland Shooting Happened.” “SHOCK: David Hogg Changes Story, Wasn’t At School When Cruz Opened Fire,” reads bigleaguepolitics.com’s March 26 headline. But at no point did Hogg ever say that in the CBS News documentary, “39 Days,” or elsewhere. Interviews and videos published in the days after the shooting support Hogg’s narrative that he was at the school when the shooter opened fire and that Hogg went home at some point and returned to the scene later that night. In fact, Hogg, a student journalist and member of the school’s news show, recorded interviews with his peers inside the school as it remained locked down. The Miami Herald published that footage Feb. 15, which shows Hogg asking his fellow students about their views on gun control. Time also published a video on Feb. 15 that was recorded by Hogg during the lockdown. In it, Hogg says “it’s 2:52” and that he “heard one gunshot.” (The shooting reportedly occurred from 2:21 p.m. to 2:28 p.m., and the lockdown was lifted at 3:36 p.m.)

This is priceless.

"...Have a hug, a cookie and a juice box...."

Yeah, right.

You keep editing my posts and quoting that, so don't expect an answer.

From the Twitters:

Don't try to confuse him with the facts.

Given the tax breaks he got passed, more like the rich people's president.

That is from 2015. He might use different terminology today.

Good for you! And it is racist depending on the race of the murderer.

I am not. I am just noting that the meaning of thug, in some contexts, has changed over time, as have other words, reflecting common usage.

And some years ago, the word "gay" meant "happy" according to the dictionary, but that is not what is commonly thought of now if you say about someone "He is gay"

No. Everyday people, who ultimately determine the correct meaning of any word, not the dictionary.

Fun Fact: The meanings of words can change through common usage.

That was the downside of the Lindbergh kidnapping law. In fact that played a factor in a well-publicized murder of a kidnapping victim some years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Nicholas_Markowitz

Actually I haven't noticed that, although people can't stop discussing it here.

I am not offended, but some other folks are.

Fun Fact: The meaning of words can change through common usage. At one time the #1 meaning of "gay" in the dictionary was "happy"

There is no one hour infant in the history of the world that ever chose to be gay.

I wouldn't use thugs as I might be labeled as a racist. Not sure term I would use, but not that.
