5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

  At least here in the USA, libel involves facts that are false. I stated nothing that was false.

  Your diagram is libel. Conservative families are based on fear??? Leftists somehow want a "level playing field"... we're ignoring that EVEN TODAY there are leftist institutions like Harvard that are discriminating against Asians???

  Git trolled son! Git gud! May your brain forever be pickled in the sweet fermented corn syrup of your homeland, may your soul rise above the swamp it spawned in, and if nothing else get your GED?

    Florida grows oranges, not corn. I'm a swing state voter. :-)

    I was however spawned out in a dry part of California, not the swamp.

    I happen to have a useful BS degree, which is damn common with practical people. Leftists are more extreme, with more drop-outs and more PhDs... with those PhDs usually being worthless shit like gender studies and sociology. I'm getting about $165,000/year (with typical bonus), which would be like $300,000/year in urban leftist shitholes, and I don't have to step over syringes or human turds on my walk to work.

    Also, I didn't abort my kids. I made a huge family. If my kind of people lose out, it can only be to the muslims you foolishly import. Your kind doesn't reproduce. You are also less likely to survive when civilization collapses. If you ever fully get political control, you'll die: Pol Pot and Mao emptied the cities, sending intellectuals out to do hard labor and die. Chavez and Mugabe caused shortages that led to starvation.
