what wiki is that? It purports to be wikipedia but the graphics are not the same... at any rate, I'm not really trusting that for objective descrtiption of the character.
I've no clue what you're asking.
simple, that site seems to be Wikipedia, but the site graphics were wrong and there was an anomaly in the IP address... so I wondered, but after comparing with the official wiki, it seems both pages are identical.

They probably changed their look. It's the real site and the person is externally verifiable.

Yes, it's just the mobile-friendly version of Wikipedia. You can check this by removing the 'm.' portion of the authority section of the URL in your address bar while you're on the Wikipedia page (//en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Leslie_Smith?fbclid=IwAR2SlKRSA57c5-cPug037AbM-hR9Wn8zVQj9tBkcIu21E_swqJ9yxP17XIY) then hitting 'Enter' on your keyboard. That will take you to the regular Wikipedia page.

As for the 'fbclid' part after the question mark (also in red above), that's a Facebook query string generated when somebody links from Facebook. It has no effect on where the link takes you to; you can check this by doing the same remove and hit 'Enter' operation.

It is an odd Wiki?

Here is the normal one:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Leslie_Smith

Ok. That is what the "m" means in the URL.

Yep. Though usually when on a laptop the a mobile link will get you redirected to the web desktop version. Didn't realise Wiki doesn't do that.

The Trump administration continue to learn from their Nazi friends using propoganda.

I just noticed the source for the video is InfoWars so you can bet the Trumpettes here believe it.

Look for the ones making apologetics for rape, child abuse, unlawful incarceration, lies, hypocricy, attacks on science, domestic terrorism, gross incompetency, racism, misogyny, and homophobia.

Only, it's not a lie.

Acosta was way out of line.

It wasn't the questions that got him to lose his press pass. It was Acosta's behavior. First, he asked a stupid, argumentative question about Trump characterizing the caravan as an invasion. Acosta says it's not an invasion, Trump thinks it is. Difference of opinion. Acosta wants to keep arguing about it. The press briefing is not a debate, it's question and answer. He got his answer. He then asked the President about demonizing the migrants. The president said he wasn't doing that. He explained how he wants immigration to occur, through a process and not through random caravans coming across the border. That was two questions, and the President was moving on. Acosta continued to ask and pester, after the President said he had enough and was moving on to someone else. The intern comes over to get the mic, and Acosta refuses to give it up. He continues to badger the President with questions, and asks yet another question, which the President answers - the question about whether the President is concerned about the the Russia inquiry, and the president answers "no, he's not...." - a third question answered. Acosta pushes the intern's arm away, and holds the mic and asks another question - a fourth question - about subpoenas and the President says no he's not concerned about that either, and demand that Acosta sit down shut the fuck up because he's moving on. They finally get the mic away from that douchebag, and the President let's him have it - justifiably so - it was fucking ridiculous, and Acosta does this shit on purpose.

Then the President moves on and Acosta continues his banter, hollering in the background when it is someone else's turn.

Fuck him. You don't have a right to be there - plenty of other news outlets can send someone to be there. And, this kind of shit would not be tolerated toward any other President and staff.

Acosta is a disgrace. Like the other incidents he was involved in in the past, it's all showmanship, and he's not there to report, he's there as part of a "resistance."
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Oh thank god; I was worried for a moment there. So that's just 42 then.

Huckasanders and her Ministry of Truth spreading Infowars BS, eh? Any other press sec would have been fired and run out of town. But in the Trump era, it's just another fucking Wednesday.
