(21,641 posts)that is serious. But was he just responding to offers of awards for reports of fraud? If so, he's really stupid for not realizing it would mean an investigation and there's no reward unless the allegation holds up.

Probably already been said on Fox.
Actually, I know it's already been insinuated on Fox, heard this stuff when I tuned in the other night.... yesterday or Sunday.... idiots saying the people "coming forward" were in fear for their lives, etc... don't remember if it was Hannity or Levin.

(14,923 posts)Huh? Did he plead the 5th? Did he say "it didn't really happen and beats me why I said it in the first place and swore to it in an affadavit"? There is more to this and I think we are all entitled to know his original motivation for creating such a destructive false narrative. After all, he falsely accused the supervisor of a felony, which could have sent an innocent person to prison.

Facts are a sticky thing especially if you always fabricate them out of nothing or flat out lie constantly. It is what trumpanistas do.

What an asshole.

Other than a couple trips that I've made to Pittsburgh, the closest that I've gotten to there was Cleveland, staring along the coast of Lake Erie in your direction from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

(19,633 posts)A very special one.
Visit Presque Isle state park, if you ever come by this way again.
20 miles of gorgeous beach, rare and exotic protected wildlife, lots to do for all ages, and the most breathtaking sunsets anywhere.
I spent summers in Philly growing up, South Philly little Italy.
My Grandpop still was getting a newspaper printed in Italian delivered in the late 1960's.
The food the street vendors sell in Philly is better than what you can buy in restaurants in most places.
