      Brain dead people have less of an intellectual disability than Trump. At least they keep their mouths shut.

    Big pivot from the Republican outrage over Terry Schiavo

      Because all of their outrage is manufactured.

      There should have been no controversy about Terry Schiavo save an internal family one, but Republicans found an issue which would make their base froth at the mouth and they know that their base doesn’t care about consistency, they just want to be mad about something.

      That’s different, because he was outsmarting the system. He wasn’t actually disabled, just lying.

      It would also perfectly fit to Nazism. Just another view they coincidentally share right?

              Witnesses are allowed to say what they saw and heard. this is…like…one of the most basic things dude. WITNESS.

              Did you think witnesses are only allowed to talk about what they SAW? That audio was banned?

                They’re allowed to say whatever they want. It doesn’t mean it happens and it isn’t proof. I can’t stand the dude anymore than anyone else- but I don’t buy into hearsay.

                There’s enough shit about him that’s provenly true. We don’t need to muddy the waters with “he said, she said” bullshit.

                  it isn’t proof

                  Witness testimony is literally proof.

              How do you think any witness testimony was handled before the advent of cameras and tape recorders?
