John Lewis Admits That He Did Skip Bush's Inauguration in 2001, Also Claiming That President Was "Illegitimate;"
Reuters Headline: "Trump Accuses Civil Rights Leader... of Lying"

He accused him of lying? Or correctly noted that he was lying?

Or is Reuters suggesting that Lewis has dementia and therefore cannot remember rather large events in one's life, not so long ago?

Below the fold, some tweets on this, Lewis' accusation against himself of lying, and Ekdahl and Salena Zito noting Reuters' curious gloss on the event.

My sister, who is as "progressive" as can be, lives in his district and is fed up with the crime.

She told us recently that the constant fights and gunfire on her street have gotten completely out of hand just over the past couple of years.

Then, there are the chicken wings all over the street (I kid you not...her words), and one morning she found a half-eaten wing........on her mailbox.

Sister said, "I guess the idiot who ate half of it thought someone else might want the last bite."

73 Speaking of orwellian distortion embedded in every syllable and punctuation mark of "the news".

I clicked on something (Drudge, I think) that led me to the NYT Manning commutation story.

It was like reading an intern's first draft. Manning had been sentenced (to one of the longest-ever sentences! eleventy!) for a "leak".

Not on the legal side, but don't think the classification LAWS containing penalties for VIOLATING them refer to "leaks". It's a serious felony, with a serious punishment schedule.

As illiterate as the NYT, and many of its readers, are in serious subjects like this, I don't think this was a slip-up. This is obviously an attempt to distort, confuse, and lessen the seriousness of the crimes committed.

Did the Rosenbergs and Greenglass "leak" nukyler secrets? Have their crimes ever been so described?

Right, its a falsehood to say it passed without any Democrat votes. It got lots. Just a lower percentage of Dems voted for it than Republicans. A large section of the Dems split off a splinter party over the issue, refusing to vote. Almost all of them stayed in the Democratic Party, though.

Snopes decided to weight in on the argument and check out this doozy of an analysis.

http://www.snopes.com/2017/01/17/paul-lepage-john-lewis/

While it is accurate to say that Abraham Lincoln freed a large number of black slaves by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the institution of slavery wasn't eradicated in the United States until the 13th Amendment was passed in 1865.

Gee...why was it that Lincoln didn't preside over the formal ending of slavery in the US? Could it be that a Democrat partisan assassinated him in early 1865? Perhaps that might be an important part of the story?!?!

But my dislike of crowds is close to phobia territory and I'm sure it would be cost prohibitive to try to arrange travel and lodging at this late date.

Schools and courts, that's where almost all of their power is. They lose these, they lose everything. Entertainment follows culture, so that's out of their hands.

Trump replacing 1 or more justices in the 9th circus court could make a huge difference. A couple supreme court justices, even more. Obama was able to stock the federal courts to a shocking degree, but hopefully that can be overwhelmed with Trump's tour.

Hopefully.

But just setting schools free from the public school lock of funds would be a huge change. That's where the battleground is: families.

From what I've read, indirectly or in his own writings, I do get a sense that Martin Luther King did have a deep authentic faith in God.
