Let's cut to the chase.My sisters and I are now the "older generatiton". The aunts, uncles, and grandparents. I'm the family "lefty". First get together in a couple of years for obvious reasons. The last time was the Kavanaugh hearings. My sisters all have 2 brain cells that rub together, so they're still in the "can form rational thoughts" Republican camp, but still...So I walk out to the living room in my normal morning pre-coffee fog, and my straight as an arrow, Republican even through Nixon, voted for Trump, brother-in-law has (wait for it) MSNBC on. I tell him I'm surprised, but proud of him, and he says, "They're smart and tell the truth." And then later in the day, we went to a CBD dispensary and got him some stuff for his chronic pain.The scales are falling, friends. We really need to have confidence and hang tight.

Then my wife Morgan Fairchild came out wearing nothing but high heels..

'Choppergate'During the January 30, 2015, NBC Nightly News broadcast, Brian Williams referred to "a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of Iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an RPG." Williams later said he was not in the the helicopter that was hit by an RPG, but in a helicopter direclty behind it. The pilots of Williams' helicopter say their chopper was not directly behind the hit Chinook, but in a different company altogether.
SEAL Team 6During the May 3, 2011, NBC Nightly News broadcast, Williams said that he had "the great honor of flying into Baghdad with [SEAL Team 6] at the start of the war." A Special Operations Command spokesman has told Huffington Post: "We do not embed journalists with this or any other unit that conducts counter-terrorism missions."
The Berlin WallAt a 2008 forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Williams said that he "was at the Brandenburg Gate the night the [Berlin] wall came down." As CNN reports, "'the night the wall came down' is widely recognized as November 9, 1989. ... An NBC News source in a position to know confirmed to CNNMoney that "Brian arrived the day after the wall came down."
%u201CWhen you look out of your hotel window in the French Quarter and watch a man float by face down, when you see bodies that you last saw in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, and swore to yourself that you would never see in your country,%u201D Williams said in a 2006 interview.
n February 2015, Williams was suspended for six months from the broadcast for misrepresenting his experience in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[5] At the time, his salary was $10 million a year,[38] with a five-year contract signed in December 2014.
In September 2015, Williams returned to the air as MSNBC's chief anchor.
