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."

    You don't do so well in the morning (night) either it seems. "I know you are but what am I?" hasn't worked since first grade, and doubly so when you're talking to someone at least 20 or 30 years younger than you when the issue at hand is the onset of dementia. Are you *sure* you work at night, or even at all, or are you just wandering around the neighborhood in slippers and shorts swearing at lampposts and trash bins?

    If I should live to be 120, I'll still be sharper and wittier than you ever were. You need to accept that, with your 92nd percentile bullshit.

      Its funny how losers like you puff themselves up with meaningless drivel like that. Its like a circular mental disorder where the lamer you are, the more you feel like you can prove you aren't lame by acting lame.

        Nahhhhh - it's just fun kicking 'Zumi because she's the one who bragged about 92nd percentile. Like - that's really something, huh? My parents got a letter, informing them that the test only ranks to the 99th percentile, and that I should be evaluated for accelerated education, blah blah blah.

        Now, TBH, 92nd isn't bad. But, some chick who feels the need to brag on it? She needs to be kicked around some. This is the same chick who was 6 feet tall, until she wasn't.

        Losers like me? You've never met a loser like me. I'm a winner, always. That's one of the benefits of being a veteran. And male. And hetero. And Christian. And white. I can't lose!

            Could it be that I'm just talking over your head? Remember when you were really little, and the adults would talk, talk, talk - and none of it made sense? Maybe you're in just such a position today.

            More serious question: How many members here do you think are NOT 90th percentile, or higher? I mean, this is Soylent - not Facefook or Twitworld or some such.

                  So many people have said that you that you now think it means something if you parrot it.

                  Another unintentional self-own when you thought you were being cool and sardonic. Its the compulsion of a weak, diseased ego. You just can't help yourself.

                    I'm beginning to think AC is just Zumi flapping her gums. Whether that be so or not - you just can't stand it. I am, and that is enough to perturb you. You can't change me, or influence me, so that perturbs you even more. It bothers you that I just don't give a damn about your feelings, or opinion, or whatever the fuck.

                    Find a life. There's no future in yapping at me like a silly damned chihuahua.

                      The pathetic self-owns just won't stop. Ya can even open your mouth for a second without sucking on your own toes.

                        And you apparently brag about your inability to open a wet paper bag. I'll just note that retarded name calling doesn't seem to open peoples' minds.

                      LOL, sorry, I don't post AC. Never did, never will, don't feel the need to. I do appreciate that there are other people taking time to point out what a complete doddering wreck of self-important delusions you are, though. Don't worry, you'll be dead inside of a decade at this rate.
