Vehicle carrying massive pro-Trump display crashes into telephone pole in three-car pileup

MLive reports that "the crash occurred just after 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 22 at the intersection of Dort Highway and Court Street" in Flint, Michigan.

It has not yet been determined what caused the crash, although medics who arrived on the scene reported no serious injuries.

The "Unity Bridge" -- which features signs filled with right-wing slogans such as "All Lives Matter," "Build The Wall," and "Make America Great Again" -- is a fixture at Trump rallies, although it's not clear if the damage suffered by the vehicle will impact its ability to make it to future events.

Couldn't do it, huh? Be more careful of your claims and accusations in the future. Real teachers (most) know better.

Of course I can, but the question is do I have to for the likes of you?

The likes of me? There comes a time when one should stand up for their own convictions and back their claims when challenged. Or at least admit their mistakes or errors when challenged. You refusing to do so has very little to do with me or what you think of me. You let yourself down. And in doing so, cost me nothing. As a matter of fact, you merely show your own hand was only worth folding.

That's the pot calling the kettle black.

Feel free to step in and prove his claim for him.

The claim:

I'm prepared to graciously concede if you can manage it. I'm equally prepared to accept retractions with the same amount of grace.

Well dude thing is nobody really cares if you concede or not, but because I am a nice guy here's some education. It's not free but you can owe me for it:

Civics fact. All spending bills begin in the US House of Representatives. Write that down now, it's important. The Democrats took control of that august body way back in 2018. That makes them Congress #116, Nancy "Skeletor" Pelosi (D) Speaker.

Fun fact. All the Covid spending was initiated by Congress #116, all of it. Look it up. That is 6 trillion dollars. Now say 6 trillion dollars nice and slow to give your brain a chance to wrap itself around that. No, really take a few minutes, go have a smoke or something and give it a good think. None of that spending was possible without the Democrats so ergo, Robert Reich is a liar and you are now educated.

Thus endith the lesson.
