Remember that video segment where Trump spoke at a naturalization swearing in ceremony in the White House?

"Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said Sunday that he did not know a video in which he participated in a naturalization ceremony would be broadcast during the Republican National Convention."
Do you believe him?

Ax 'ol pal 'ol bud, my mind-reading isn't even in the same universe as yours.
So, do I believe him?
Am I suppose to? Or, not.
See, it's so much easier to mindread, when you are feigning asking just a simple, innocent little question, don't you think, where you already know the answer?
I tried. Can't do it. Just can't do it. I bow to your mastery. Your cognitive ability is like a pinball machine compared to mine. -
Those clips are embarrassing for Trump, but they are also embarrassing for the persons in the video. How somebody like Ted Cruz can support Trump with a straight face after what he said about him is beyond me.

It's politics, young man.

“Across their respective four nights of programming, the Democratic convention averaged more than 20 million total viewers per night in the 10 p.m. spotlight viewing hour, compared with 17.4 million total viewers for the GOP convention.“
The TV viewership numbers are in. The Democratic National Convention has won the TV viewership comparison.
That’s interesting. Winning side got more viewers in every election for the last quarter century.

Yep, and Republicans had six times as many people streaming their convention than the Dems. If you count total eyeballs, the GOP had more people watching.
Secondly, Biden got no bounce. Trump did. That's interesting...

That frustrates me.
Primary opponents (on both sides) talk bad about each other. But wait - ten days later, that same person is the greatest person EVER!!!!
So, do we believe then before? Do we believe them now? Do we ever believe them???

Good comments, as usual, TG.
Kamala Harris who polled at 3% during her brief run for the presidency, In fact, she dropped out before the first primary was held, and now, all of a sudden, she's the greatest thing since indoor plumbing?
Color me skeptical, but she was chosen only on the basis of her gender and race.

More RNC bait-and-switch shenanigans:
"Three NYC public housing tenants said they were tricked into appearing in a Republican National Convention video. Lynne Patton, a HUD official, interviewed them for the video, which they thought would be used to highlight issues in public housing."
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/28/nyregion/nyc-tenants-rnc-video-trump.html
“I am not a Trump supporter,” one of the tenants said, adding that she was furious that her interview with a government official was used for the convention.

ATTA BOY, AX!!!!
Man, you're changing the forum, country and world like a Superman!
Everything you copy/paste turns into like, a combination of Aristotle and Shakespeare. It's so like, deep-like and ULTRA convincing. And you do all that without even having to think. Amazing!Good job, as always. I'm definitely voting for Biden. All because of you, bud.

Or maybe....The women caught so much hell from their neighbors - not that TDS folks would do that - they decided to tell a little lie for their own safety...

There you go again trusting politicians more than you trust regular people.

Trust, but verify.
A politician once said that. A wiser one than most.

Will be interesting to see the whole story come out. These days it pays to wait a little bit.

I guess Ax has moved on just like the NYT. He has offered no retort and no capitulation.

The retort is as follow:
- Suppose you go by the Lynn Patton tweet you linked to, it shows a CNN person's email saying three named people "knew the video was going to be used for the RNC." When did they know? Did they know before they were recorded or after? If they know only after they were recorded, then there is no inconsistency with the NYTimes report. Furthermore, the CNN person's email also says the three named people asked the video to be cut -- it is not literally clear what "cut" might mean in this email, but it would be reasonable to guess that by "cut" they mean they do not want the video shown, which again would be consistent with NYTimes quoting one of the recorded tenant as unsupportive of Trump and furious about not wanting the video to be shown in the RNC.
- Look also at Lynn Patton's question: "Do you honestly think @WeRJamestown would film 4 civilians WITHOUT also telling them it’s for the #RNC & getting waivers from each resident" (note that so far there is no evidence provided to show what the waivers say or that the waivers even exist), ask yourself this: Do you honestly believe Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf's claim that he did not know a video in which he participated in a naturalization ceremony would be broadcast during the Republican National Convention?
