In 2016, the Wright Brothers took flight from South Carolina in order to meet Frederick Douglass.

Sadly, they never reached their destination because they were slaughtered by a bunch of illegal voters in the Bowling Green Massacre, which took place in Atlanta. As a result, this prevented Donald Trump from getting the most electoral votes since Ronald Reagan, a fact cheered by hundreds of thousands of Muslim Americans in Jersey City.

I read a history book today buddy, and everything you said is in it.

Book was a text book from the Texas text book company. You left out the 9 chapters about where Donald Trump was born and what he was like as a kid. Was just a wonderful little boy, not spoiled, always thinking of others.

Why did you leave that part out? Hmmm?

But I really feel for today's students, because there's just so much that hasn't happened since 75, it's getting difficult to remember it all

There's a silver lining, of course, now that DEVO is Secretary of Education

Its perfectly understandable that folks would expect and believe him to have screwed up and referred to the Wright Bros flight as occurring in SC rather than NC. But he didn't do that. He referred to it occurring "Next door, in North Carolina".

This thread and another one based on the same mistaken report about his speech make us look foolish.
