Rosa Parks died on this day, in 2005. The impeachment inquiry is currently trying to establish how Donald Trump did it.

He would have had to expose her to something in that meeting that would kill her in ~9 years.
Has there been any investigation into what approach he might have taken?
I could see carcinogens, but those are hit or miss and could easily result in collateral damage. Does anyone present know if he got her a drink for example? That would be an excellent opportunity to introduce something.

We all know trump is a massively insecure coward. No way he would murder Parks himself.

Nobody has to "establish" anything. You just need somebody to say he did it, and you're golden.

Not quite. You have to get lots of someone elses saying that someone else says that someone else says he did it.
Then, when people query you, you can point them at circular lists of websites that list other websites that list lots of people saying that someone else says that someone else says he did it.
And he must have, because so many people are saying he did it. It's just the same as the way they manufacture his racism and sexism and stupidity.

A good try to frame as "loaded" something that is totally irrelevant and inconsequential.
As any troll, it falls easily when presenting the full context:
So, it's true that the photo doesn't imply Trump has anything to do with Rosa Parks' death.
But this is a special case of the more general statement "The photo doesn't imply any Trump/Rosa Park relation, not more than being once in the same place/same time together with the group of Ellis Island Medal of Honor recipients".
With the immediate consequence: "The photo doesn't say a thing about Trump being racist or not, you'll need to look for other arguments to make you mind about it".
(and let me tell you with the same level of authority as Runaway's: Trump is a racist prick - large grin)

No, Trump is a prick, but he probably not a racist prick. He'll happily exploit white contractors, right along with black, brown, or whatever contractors.

I did do some "homework" quite a while back. I found that Trump was a popular darling among Dems, right up until he decided to run against Clinton. The photograph in the submission?
So, do you really believe that Ellis Island award was handed out to racists? There are other photos of Trump, attending events with not-white people, some of them very famous people, if you look for them. For a racist, Trump sure went to a lot of trouble to cultivate not-white friends and acquaintances. He must have known at a pretty young age that he would run for the presidency when he became an old bastard, and spend his youth preparing the photographic evidence of his non-racist views.
That idea sounds even more preposterous when you consider that a lot of people really were incorrigible racists back then. Why would a presidential hopeful even BOTHER to hide his racism, in that day and age? Even Johnson is quoted as "We'll have those niggers voting for us for the next 200 years".

At least he is not a Runaway Racist Prick, like Runaway is, even though Runaway has Black and Hispanic coworkers that he does not think should be shipped across the border and beyond the wall, so that only white people could have jobs, of which he has just been laid off, in Arkansasias. Poor Runaway! Competent people, coming to take you job, since you are old and demented, and watch Fox News and actually read OANN, news for the mentally expired. Tell us again, oh knowledgeable Runaway, what is the population of China, and what is Flash Resistant Clothing, and where in the Brain is the source of Russian interference with idiots from Arkansas who are too stupid to realize they are being used to destroy their own country? We will wait a bit for that last part, evidently.

I quote,
Alright, so The Donald is going to put his own spin on it. But further down in the article, it is confirmed that there was no admission of guilt. So, 1973. The guy is a little older than I, but I was a junior in high school in 1973. The Donald goes into his father's company, and all the policies are already in place - he basically does what he's told.
So we are going to characterize this lawsuit as defining Donald Trump?
Sorry, I don't think so. Blame the old man, not the kid. Or, have we forgotten that we were all kids, once upon a time? Trump Junior took orders from Trump Senior, and as a result was named in a lawsuit. I don't see racism on the part of Junior, here.

"Like father, like son" doesn't cut it with me. Find something better.
If we were to follow that "like father, like son" bullshit, you can't possibly be any better a man, or any worse a man, than your own father. Your brothers are just like you, because they can't escape Daddy's legacy, either. If there is a single man in your family tree who engaged in the slave trade, in any manner, then you're a slaver yourself. Any criminals anywhere in your paternal family tree? You're just another criminal. Just give it a break.
