Liberals are so fucking stupid that they actually believe that you can flush documents down the toilet. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it's the same people who believed Russian collusion, Jussie Smollett, the government was almost overthrown on jan 6th, Kavanaugh raped whatever her name was, Trump removed the bust of MLK from the oval office, changed the name of black history month and said that there were very fine neo nazis in charlottesville. They're pretty fucking stupid.

If you even the smallest bit of analytical skills in that lump of wet toilet paper between you ears, you would have heard the part where the people who found the printed paper clogging the toilet said… it didn’t work, it clogged the toilet. Dipshit.

However, the following day, the legislator acknowledges the man did not say she should "go back to your country" or "go back to where you came from," as she originally claimed.

Sept. 30, 2019 - When a black girl claims white boys at school held her down, cut off her hair and called her "nappy" and "ugly," the story makes national news.

For example, NBC writes, "The attack happened Monday..." and "The second boy grabbed her arms, while the third cut off some of her dreadlocks." A local NBC affiliate writes: "...she was at recess and about to go down a slide when one of the boys grabbed her and put a hand over her mouth. Another boy grabbed her arms. A third boy cut off some of her hair." CBS writes, "The incident took place..." (as if an incident had been factually established rather than was an allegation). Many news reports also connect the attack to President Trump's Vice President, Mike Pence, by stating that the "attack" happened at "a Christian school in Virginia where Vice President Mike Pence's wife works." However, it turns out there was no attack or "incident." Three days after the initial reports, the child's family reported the whole story was made up, and they apologized. – FAKE NEWS
