3. "Turmoil in the FBI"

Thu May 11, 2017, 07:03 PM

May 2017

What would Mr. Trump have known about FBI discord a year ago? His ONLY awareness would likely be the conduct of the rogue NY FBI field office that undermined HRC, orchestrated by Giuliani. Like always, Trump projects. He thinks he's knocking Comey by intimating that Comey's FBI was in shambles, but in reality he's telling the world that he had a hand in the turmoil. He knows that this conduct during the campaign was illegal, but he greenlighted it, like so many other nefarious plots he has hatched and continues to hatch.

I couldn't get past the racist phrase in the 2nd paragraph. Can you spot it? pnwmom May 2017 #11

??? babylonsister May 2017 #16

Yes. Head full of wool between the ears. n/t Beartracks May 2017 #25

His mother was Scots. Over there, wooly-headed means having wool for brains. Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #28

Racism has existed over there as long as it has over here. That term pnwmom May 2017 #30

There have for centuries been a lot more sheep in the British Isles than Africans. Expressions come Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #31

Would you deliberately use a phrase that has been connected to racist slurs? pnwmom May 2017 #34

No. Now that I'm sensitized to the issue, I'm less likely to use the phrase. But it was not Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #35

Right. That n word sounds too much like the other one, even though the derivations are different. pnwmom May 2017 #38

Julian Bond, you know who he is Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #40

I'm sorry to have to disagree with you, pnwmom, but it's a very agricultural term... Hekate May 2017 #47

Good grief. Read your own definitions. BOTH of them. pnwmom May 2017 #29

I did, and I chose the one that applied. babylonsister May 2017 #45

They both apply. The slur arose from linking "wooly heads" or "wooly hair" with "stupidity." pnwmom May 2017 #57

Oh please. Words have definitions for babylonsister May 2017 #59

You are being quite selective in your outrage. Vinnie From Indy May 2017 #56
