Trump Falsely Claims George HW Bush Took Documents To A Bowling Alley/Chinese RestaurantPosted By Jim Moscheck |
From the text of the story:
"Someone listening to Trump’s rally comments might have pictured documents from the first Bush administration being scattered carelessly in bowling lanes. But that’s not what happened. The Washington Post reported in 1993: “There aren’t any lanes anymore. No gutters, no pins, no beer. Thanks to a rush remodeling job after last November’s election, there are a few simple offices, a massive, fire-resistant vault and row after row of steel shelves filled with cardboard boxes and wooden crates.”
There was also extensive security. The Associated Press reported in 1994: “Uniformed guards patrol the premises. There are closed-circuit television monitors and sophisticated electronic detectors along walls and doors. Some printed material is classified and will remain so for years; it is open only to those with top-secret clearances.”
I'm sure trump's storage closet had the exact same precautions, right?
I will be so glad when this man is finally gone, but the damage is done. His bad behavior, and the fact no one in the GOP (except for a few) have called him out on ANY of it, has wrecked this country's politics. I hope Jim Brown is wrong and that fair and decent democracy is on the ballot along with the abortion issue. The independents, and to a lesser extent younger voters are up for grabs. We'll see if the youngsters turn out, seems like they got what they wanted so they could stay home. Hope I'm wrong.
BTW - if the Democrats lose can it be because of a rigged election? I hear lots of GOP candidates still complaining about the voting system. Is it only rigged when the GOP loses?
