The rest of the story about the Red Hen incident.

[pago cruiser]

I really try to stay out of politics, as nobody can seem to have a rational conversation anymore; but ...

The real "rest of the story"... 

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/huckabee-sanders-red-hen-protest/

Did. not. happen.  At least in the sense as conveyed by the eloquent Mr Huckabee...While an earlier poster decried Snopes as truth-bending, I have yet to see an example where I had contradictory info; and Snopes does have a "Corrections" policy where viewers can provide better info.  And as EVERYBODY has a cell phone these day, and as no pics have shown up, I'm inclined to believe Snopes.

At any rate... This has gotten beyond crazy.  Not just this latest example, but this seems to be playing out with regularity.  People ...exaggerating reality (or making things up like a lot of radio and talk show hosts do to get attention) for their own motivations, then others just... , accept it all like its gospel, and get all morally outraged and indignant about those "other people", and then somebody just has to go further....

The next thing that happens is a guy takes his gun into a Pizza Shop looking to bring fire and fury onto those deviants involved with Hillary's child sex slave ring...

Where have all the normal people gone??? 
As Reagan came in history to be known as the Great Uniter, if history is kind... our current leader will, at least based upon actions up to this point in time, probably not be remembered quite so fondly.  More the Great Divider.   How does "Make America Great Again" come to mean pitting everyone against his neighbor? Political party, money, social status, ethics, age, sex, races, cities, states, countries... where does it end???    Kind of reminds me of the Church Scene in the first "Kingsman" movie... everybody just turns on everybody else.

Any history buffs remember something about "a house divided...?" That speech has stood the test of time rather well.

I am afraid for our country.

Happy 4th of July America.

Slice it how you want it.  Seems the real division is coming from the far left resistance movement.  They aren't exactly singing kumbaya nowadays.

Gary, love ya brother

Fix the bike, call me, lets go for a ride when it cools down below 90degrees

You need some wind therapy bad, you may not make it to vacation without it

Nothing wrong with the bikes.  Just haven't been able to find the time, or the energy really, to get them out of the garage to give them the full once over before first ride in a looooong time.  I keep coming up with excuses, like mosquitos, humidity, too tired, shitty roads, etc.  Not sure what this is all about lately.  Gotta get out of the funk.

of course you use Snopes even though they have been known to skew the truth or flat out lie to progress the Left's agenda. Snopes is no longer a credible source.

WOW!  Just plain W O W !!!!!!!!

With all due respect, you sound like someone who just dropped in from outer space and the the last 10 YEARS didn't happen.

Are you honestly saying, using all of the common sense you have, that all this division just magically happened over the last 2 years or so that Trump has been on the political scene?  Really?  Clinton is going around the world stating that white women vote the way their husbands tell them.  That one statement is divisive along politics, race, and sex all by itself.  Occupy fill-in-the-blank happened a long time ago and that was about age, money, class, race, and social status.  Only BLACK lives matter.  Democrats snubbing the inauguration.  Trump supporters surrounded and beat up just for wearing a shirt or a hat during the campaign and still going on.  Half the voters were called deplorable a couple years ago and anyone who disagreed with the last administration's policies was called racist for 8 long years.  George Zimmerman was a WHITE hispanic.  Hymie Town.  A comedian apologizing for humanizing Trump because of the backlash from his colleagues.

Still blaming this division on Trump?

Not so fast....it's real easy to just repeat what you hear and not look it up.

There's plenty more out there if you want to look. I'd stay away from Fox though. They're known to be full of manure.

It's hard to know what to believe anymore unless you see it with your own eyes.  And not 100% sure of that.  These were good links, though.

i don't believe any news sights or tv programs. I think they all are full of crap.

I have found when Snopes wants to slant a story they say half truth then backpedal from there.
