someone pulled Bob Woodward out of the dustbin of history to say "Watergate" or "worse than Watergate" or something similar. The man is a one-trick pony.
It's been HALF A CENTURY since Watergate.
The single most destructive "trick" that he learned, and that has since spread to other so-called "journalists", is his use of anonymous, unnamed, sources.
A practice that has produced more deceit, lies, innuendo, falsehoods and fake news than any other and has been used by the Leftist media with gleeful abandon.

This is the same debate we have about whether or not he’s a liar. And I get the journalistic need to be really clear about how we use terms. You know, lying implies volition and knowledge. But I’m very comfortable saying I think he’s got a pathology around lying. And when it comes to race, I don’t think it’s merely using racial animosities or race-baiting as tools to promote his business. I think it’s a deep-seated reflection of what he thinks about how the world works.

"Bread crumbs"
quote
America’s always trying to find this gotcha moment that shows Donald Trump is racist—you know, let’s find this one big thing. Let’s look for that one time when he burned a cross in someone’s yard so we can now finally say it. People refuse to see the bread crumbs that are already in front of you, leading you to grandma’s house.
Kwame Jackson has a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Harvard University's graduate school of Business. His resume includes experience as an investment manager for the prominent Wall Street investment firm of Goldman Sachs. Jackson was a contestant on Donald Trump's "The Apprentice" TV reality show during its first season in 2004.
Before DJT ran for POTUS as a Republican he was the darling of the media and NY society. What does that say about them?
I figured this dead horse had already gone to the glue factory....
These opinion pieces are laced with references to straightforward news reports about lawsuits and other aspects of Trump's life, from his formative years, onwards to present day, where there is public record of Trump having said or done "this" or "that." So the reaction that these are just opinion pieces doesn't hold any water.
There are no criminal legal judgements on record that "Trump is (was) a racist" because it is not and never has been a crime to be a racist.
I don't want to get into the second part here, about the media and New York society, except to say that media and New York society were not immutable constants over time, and neither was Donald Trump.

or the failed ideals of CORP-rats as having the rights of people
and get control back from the sheep who support the robber barons and quit the wholesale robbing the public
------------------ Question wonder and be wierd are you kind?
I forget what that's called paradactyle is the thumb I think, and then an extra pinky is some other kind of dactyle. It looks so strange, but this person's hand (if real) seems super-well formed. It looks like she could literally bend them all independently. Science often questions whether or not this is more advanced, or less advanced.
I would be curious if a functional hand like this would allow someone to be able to play the piano better, or even a stringed instrument. I play violin (and I think you do too), so there are four finger points until you begin to move up to the next octave on the E-string... but would be interesting if you could just use that extra pinky for the extra note / notes.

The term is polydactyly. The reason I know that is because of a blues guitarist named "Hound Dog" Taylor.

Hah... that actually sounds pretty awesome. What kind of music is this specifically called? It's not blues, or blue grass or whatever, right? Sorry... I'm uncultured. We listened to Slayer, Pantera, Motley Crue, Metallica, and then REM, and Nirvana / STP / No Doubt / Bush / whatever the hell in the early to mid 90s in Northern Virginia. The only exposure to anything different was classical music because I played violin, and disco because it came back in the late 90s... and classic rock because it was the only thing they were playing in South Florida in ~1999-2000... so I got all the old stuff, Doobie Brothers, Cream, Rare Earth, Eagles, etc... etc...

That is blues. I would call it jump blues, though some may disagree. Jump blues is a mid 20th century style that was a progenitor of Rock and Roll.
"Shake Your Money Maker" was written and recorded by Elmore James who was generally regarded as the king of slide guitar.
