True story, and it has the same WGAF factor
You can trace your family back to the early 1700's and they've had that land ever since?

I think that's pretty **** cool! :thumb:

This really is about her server, dipshit.

That's the point. No one is offended if Erk didn't literally pound the nails. No one should be offended by Obama's comment either.

Except that it was a jab to whites that had nothing to do with slavery from an angry black. Other than that, I'm good with it.

No. At some point they have to quit going back to the server thing. Everybody knows what the story is with the server. At some point they can't continue to try to change the subject to the server every time Trump makes a fool of himself.

Another thing they do when he says something stupid is "Well...that's not what he really meant. THIS is what he really meant..." Then they fill it in with some kind of crap. At some point that's going to get old.

Hillary is not clear of servergate. She lied under oath to Congress about it. There may still be repercussions.

Give up the fight bro. You haven't laid a glove on her in 30 years - she's either innocent of simply too smart for you.

Wait a second..?
You're telling me there are people that actually think the comment by Michelle Obama is a "jab at whites"
like actually she's taking a poke at "whites"

That never even crossed my mind

Here's an example:
Our fighting men flew in bombers built by women

Q: Is that a jab at men in the military..?
A: No

And how off balanced and neurotic would a man have to be to take that comment as a slight against men

I don't think it's the "taking a jab at whites" that her comments tees off

I'm pretty sure this is what does it:
