A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, D.C. when he sees a
little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.' The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?' The biker replies, I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH (It is humor guys. Really.) |

President Trump is walking through National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the
eyes of her screaming parents. President Trump runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.* Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumps back letting go of the girl and President Trump carries her in his arms to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. Jim Acostduh has witnessed the entire event.* Within minutes, Chucklehead News Network's top story is: President Trump Assaults African Immigrant and Steals His Lunch |

Just the fact that you have to go back twenty years speaks for itself. With Trump you just have to go back twenty minutes. Al Gore did not claim to have invented the Internet. This lie has been repeated ad infinitum, ad nauseam! Do some some research instead of repeating it! Vint Cerf, the man who is recognized as one of the fathers of the Internet, gives Mr. Gore credit for his part in getting congress to fund the technology.

I couldn't care less one way or the other about Al Gore, I'm just sick of that stupid BS. -- ~!~ |

Is that related to the rather large amount of Apple stock Gore owns? Or was he gifted that by people in gratitude for making their lake hideaways on Tellico Reservoir possible? |

troll-feeding, senile idiot, blabbered again: Vint Cerf, the man who is recognized as one of the fathers of the Internet, gives Mr. Gore credit for his part in getting congress to fund the technology.

Just the fact that you have to go back twenty years speaks for itself. With Trump you just have to go back twenty minutes. Except the Al Gore thing was created by righties lying about what he said and meant. Just more BS. The Al Gore claimed he invented the Internet put-downs were misleading distortions that originated wjth a campaign interview conducted by Wolf Blitzer on CNNs Late Edition program on 9 March 1999. (Gore, then the sitting Vice President, was seeking the 2000 Democratic presidential nomination.) When asked to describe what distinguished him from his challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, Gore replied (in part): During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our countrys economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. In context, Gores response (which employed the word created, not invented) was clear in meaning: the vice president was not claiming that he invented the Internet in the sense of having designed or implemented it, but rather that he was one of the visionaries responsible for helping to bring it into being by fostering its development in an economic and legislative sense, |

Your reading comprehension definitely leaves a lot to be desired. |
