Snopes. - (Another Scott) - (4) - Oct. 25, 2017, 04:38:49 PM EDT

what about snopes? I heard it on the radio in a slightly different form and looked it up online -NT - (boxley) - (3) - Oct. 25, 2017, 06:29:46 PM EDT

Neither of which makes it relevant or correct, which I think is AS's point. -NT - (pwhysall) - (2) - Oct. 26, 2017, 05:25:12 AM EDT

This is going to be a bigger heist than what was done in the 1980's. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (3) - Oct. 25, 2017, 08:47:01 AM EDT

GHW Bush had a name for it while running against Reagan in the GOP primary in 1980. - (a6l6e6x) - (2) - Oct. 25, 2017, 05:01:14 PM EDT

and from the numbers it looks like Donnie is set to do it again -NT - (boxley) - Oct. 25, 2017, 06:30:31 PM EDT
