I know of no adults who would ever describe the presence of children at a party as "entertaining." And I'm sure you don't either.
And I am sure that once again you are wrong. In fact I can think of few things more entertaining than children at play.

The issue is that today the person originating Fake News is Trump
The problem is that it seems il Donald cannot make a single speech without creating new Fake News. He is a veritable Fake News Generator. It is why it seems no one seems able to trust anything he says except for his Fellow Travelers. They seem to believe or dismiss even the most absurd statements he makes.

Utterly irrelevant to the topic isn't it?
Not at all irrelevant Faith since the topic is Fake News.
Faith writes:
Just can't resist inventing a reason to say something negative about Trump? Speaking of evidence, what ARE you talking about?
Every single speech the man makes seems to contain fake and blatantly fake information like "Look what happened last night in Sweden" and "I won by the largest margin in history" and "More people attended my inauguration than Obama's" and "I will release my tax records" and "Mexico sends us their worst" and "Crime is at an all time high in the US" and "illegal immigrants are a major crime issue" and it just goes on and on Faith.
The man seems totally out of touch with reality or honesty.

Facts vs Innuendo
Faith writes:
The facts I was referring to are the actual emails. Those ARE facts.
Yes, those are facts.
Faith writes:
All I know, which I DID say, is that those emails are very strange and do suggest something ugly.
And that is innuendo.

Maybe not all Conservatives are fooled.
Milo Yiannopoulos has been uninvited as a speaker at this weeks Conservative Political Action Conference and it seems simply because he is not fit to be in polite company. President Trump is still scheduled to speak at the conference even though he too seems not fit to be in polite company.

Re: Emails
One factor that seems to be ignored in the whole pizza gate nonsense.
The discussions were during a campaign period and involved getting, motivating and feeding volunteers.
I ran a few of them and some (Nixon's first and second campaigns) involved both kids and parents. Parents were needed for transportation, kids worked malls and parking lots and handed out leaflets in the cold and rain, parents and older kids worked phone banks and one common feature through all phases was FOOD, specifically Pizza. A second common feature was the kids had to be overseen and entertained while parents worked phone banks or drove kids out to pamphlet or campaign sites and as rewards usually in evenings particularly for the kids.
I wish we had had a heated swimming pool back then but unfortunately none of the parents fessed up to having one but we did use many a basement and ping pong table.
And the kids were entertaining.

it was dark last night in Sweden
Faith, there are even videos claiming there was a biblical flood and videos claiming the earth is young and videos claiming humans are not just another primate and videos about Bigfoot and videos about witches and videos about all kinds of utterly nonsense things.
BUT reality is not videos and all those videos are simply wrong.

what is going on right here in River City
But anyone having a strong opinion that something serious is going on in Europe as a result of the Muslim influx really ought to watch more than that. They should look at the actual statistics instead of believing "TESTIMONY".
Faith, it's very much like the utter stupidity of the recent Congress members that have paraded through here fact finding. They only listened to one small segment for information and left here as utterly ignorant as they were before they came. They did not talk to any local law enforcement agencies; not a single one. They did not talk to those of us who actually live here; not a single one. They did not talk to the business people the stupid wall and deportations will hurt; not a single one.
What they did do was avoid learning anything that might be relevant and waste a shitpot of taxpayers money.

Okay, then stop looking at YouTube videos. Instead, use the internet to find the State websites in Europe. Look at the statistics the people actually there are posting.

Thank you Faith. Yes, I hope the lines are becoming clearer though there is still much that is simply wrong.
The CPAC at least acknowledges that Alt-Right is Fascist even though they are still ignorant that it is another Conservative Fascist group.

the inability to think critically demonstrated.
Faith writes:
Since the powers-that-be in Sweden have decided they have a vested interest in suppressing the facts, surely they will have suppressed them.
Once again reality intrudes.
Once again your sources are simply liars Faith.
The "powers-that-be in Sweden" are suppressing nothing. In fact they reported that rapes were up. BUT, and here is where they are so different than your sources, they also went on to explain why the readings are as high as they were.
First, they changed the definitions of what would be called rape to include incidents that would not have been included in the past or in other jurisdictions.
Second, the had an active campaign to encourage reports of rape or other sexual offenses.
Third they actively trained Law Enforcement on how to respond to reports.
And finally they kept and reported statistics over time.
What your sources are telling you as usual turns out to be lies Faith.
The rape statistics in Sweden showed the greatest rise when the new laws went into effect that made incidents "rape" that in the past would not have been "rape".
The number of annual rape cases varied over time but remained within the same basic range.
There was no increase that correlated with increased immigration.
There was no increase that correlated with the religious beliefs of the person accused of committing the rape or the religious beliefs of the person being raped.
Your sources are simply liars and propagandists.
