    FACT: A phrase added to a hyperbolic rant to make it seem unassailable.

    Name one person 'hanged for treason' by 'the Founding Fathers'. They didnt even hang Burr.

    FACT: Donald Trump achieved executive authority by means other than those indicated by the Constitution. FACT: Donald Trump connived with self-described opponents of the United states of America. Fact: The Founding Fathers would have debated and created consensus on proper legal penalties.

    Nobody was. You'll get a more accurate history lesson on the Founding Fathers from "Hamilton" than you will from any genuflecting Republican.

    Exactly. My capping "FACT" is meaningless (..with our current, and transient, data-set) Do you disagree that our evolving knowledge is heading that way?

    Actually. This part..."Fact: The Founding Fathers would have debated and created consensus on proper legal penalties." I dont think is hyperbolic at all.

    Actually, TFF hung Burr and then the populace lynched Lincoln, over states rights, who BTW was not as great a President as the current occupier of the WH.(*)


    (*)As seen in the historical best seller, "Tales from Earth 2".

    Hanged, not hung. People are hanged, pictures are hung.

    As are horses. But I digress.

    "I am hung like Einstein, and smart like a horse" -- bumper sticker I saw yesterday. For once, some truth in advertising.

    The most disturbing thing about this is not the stupidity of the comment, but the statement that teachers should be in school watching the kids.

    This right here is how a large number of people (and many Republicans) view teachers as babysitters and not as educators. If they were recognized as educators, clearly it would justify higher pay.

    Yeah, I misunderstood that too. When I first read his comments I was sure he said "children were sexually assaulted, poisoned because of teacher rally in Frankfort. Did I miss something? :rolleyes:

    I thought the child poisoning shifts worked on weekends too?

    His apology could have been shortened to "The responsibility of not articulating myself falls on me. I'm sorry you dumba$$es didn't understand what I was trying to tell you. Thanks and let's work together to gut another social program."

    Do Kentucky parents rape and drug their children more than parents in other states?

    I dunno but if they do, then summer vacation is going to be an issue. Bevin better sort out a way to pay to keep schools open year-round because they sure can't be out of school all summer if children are being drugged and raped.

    He may be on to something. See 'Oklahoma':
    The agency says Hoffman also told investigators she had sex with the boy after taking him and other students to the state Capitol last week to participate in demonstrations in which thousands have protested seeking more state money for education.

    Dunno about their own, but they surely must do so to others' children, since they need to have 5 guns in their homes to protect against what appears to be nonstop break-ins and attempted assaults.

    Hmmmmm. The parents must be getting ready for the Number 6 Special later on.

    EDIT - yes that is a horrible joke but you really have to make fun of these type of idiotic, yet horrible comments.
