(Jimmy Carter's grandson again). So is Jimmy back under the bus?

You have to read it for yourself.

[dogman]

8. He's already made one retraction.

Come back when he gets his story straight.

[99Forever]

9. Being Jimmy Carter's relative doesn't mean he isn't just another fucking establishment..

... mouthpiece. He is, he sucks. What the fuck is new?

Jesus Fucking Christ, are you people for real?

[JSup]

10. Even as...

...a Hillary supporter, I've never trusted the DB.

I don't trust DB, RT, Salon, Fox, MSNBC... actually, I don't trust any of them. I have to google every single, friggin 'news story' I read to decide if there is enough actual information out there to decide if it's real or not.

Sad.

Edit: It didn't take me long to verify the crime bill part of this story, though.

Other quote: "I come from an almost all white State and I know that the people of Vermont want tough law enforcement and tough penalties against drug dealers."
