Social justice activist and lawyer Derecka Purnell was just 12 years old, she claims in a story published in The Atlantic, when she and her sister watched a police officer shoot a young boy in a city recreation center because he had ignored the basketball sign-in sheet.
.
Liberals trumpet the story widely ...
.
The Federalist tracked down the records ... the incident never happened.
.
Scratch a liberal, find a liar.

To bad you can't prove either of those things are lies

If he said them at all.

The baseball thing is opinion, the other is not

What does “almost drafted” mean? There’s no record of anyone from any MLB team stating they “almost drafted” Trump, but there’s also no record of any of them saying the opposite.

But there’s at least 3 people who have publically stated that the bone spur condition was a lie: Trump’s personal attorney testified under oath to Congress to that effect, and two daughters of the podiatrist who wrote the letter have stated publically that their father did it to get preferential treatment from his landlord, one Fred Trump.

And obviously, those terrible bone spurs didn’t affect Trump on the baseball field... tennis courts... golf courses... etc.

Man! You had to reach far for that.

The most relevant thing to note is that you have to go all the way back to the Vietnam war to find ANYTHING that 3 whole people say is a lie. Wow! Trump is even more honest than I thought!

Re: No, it is not "opinion"

Trump was scouted by two MLB teams. His high school coach praised his batting and fielding.

If Trump wants to believe he was “almost drafted”, I’m glad to toss that into the same trash bin as all of his other ridiculous hyperbolic statements and focus on more important things, like all the Americans he’s killing every day by his incompetence.

and of course Obama, Clinton and especially Biden all served with distinction

But lets not dwell in the past with Obama and Clinton, how about Biden wanting to beat up voters or challenging them to "push up" contests despite getting FIVE deferments for asthma.

Of course if you listed to Plagiarizing Joe describe his youth, he tells a much different story about his vibrant youth, certainly not one of a asthmatic teenager too sick to go fight for his country.

And "almost drafted" means there was interest by pro teams and that "interest" is documented. I don't know why it makes him a better or worse POTUS, but the evidence of Trumps baseball chops are much stronger than any conflicting stories about his youth.

"Put me in coach", well shit then I had 5-6 MLB teams looking at me

In high school, 1972, we use to get 5-6 scouts from MLB coming to our games. On those games that I pitched, they were looking at me...so in my mind..."They were looking AT ME".....lol

You should have seen how many recruiters there were at...

...the '76 Garfield-Roosevelt game. But they were Army recruiters, not college football recruiters!

You asked for that, you got it.

If you’d like the list of *everyone* who’s called out Trump’s other lies, including the 20,000+ since his inauguration, that will take more time. Years.

If you think Trump is honest, there’s no hope for you. You’ll believe anything. A dangerous condition to have... for you, and America.

Update -- Atlantic admits lying.

The Atlantic has "corrected" the story (the lies) saying that it wasn't a cop after all, it was a private security guard, and he didn't just shoot some random "boy", he shot his cousin in the arm. The guard was 23 and his cousin was 18. And assault charge was filed the next day.
.
So to review, blacks shooting blacks, and whitey gets the blame. Liberals!
