The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1670 - Politics and Economics

Nope, they sure didn't. Just another outright lie. They aren't even trying to give the appearance of truth anymore. Hundreds of bipartisan hearings and hundreds of bipartisan amendments to the ACA, but that doesn't jive with the rhetoric.

The words "respected" and "news" don't belong anywhere near Breitbart. It's a platform to advance the interests of a particular group and riling up a target audience, nothing more.

Like it if you want, but at least be honest with yourself about what it is.

This sounds really familiar. Like when Donald Trump insisted over and over that The National Enquirer is a well respected magazine. "Look at ALL the times they were right!" (But please don't count how many times they were wrong about serious stuff. We also need to ignore that actual respected magazines are hardly ever wrong at all. Oh...pssst...by the way, I'm really good friends with the owner and he does me favors.)

I mean, you REALLY need to throw facts and reality out the window in order to be a Trump supporter; In almost every domain of knowledge.

It's really impossible to say that about Breitbart (assuming he's serious) and not be an idiot. It's more than a red flag, you may as well get a T-shirt printed that says IDIOT on it.

Did anyone actually reply to my point?

Does anyone want to bet against me on a logic test? (Perhaps the LSAT)?

You had no idea you were citing a racist fake news site beloved by the white supremacy all-right, even though said site has been widely discussed both in this very thread and the media in general?

Nice try.

You are also the poster boy for someone who massively over compensates for not being nearly as intelligent as they think they are. This is a common personality trait in the academic world for people who simply can't keep up with those around them so are constantly talking about how smart they are.

You can always identify the person who is not that bright because they can't stop talking about how bright they are.

He's new to this. You can't expect him to even know how to begin obstructing justice spotting the most unreliable sources. He's new.

David, if you are serious about an LSAT challenge for real money, I probably could round up several people. They are all going to score 176-180, but if you are sure you can get a 180 every time, I guess you have nothing to lose.

what kind of country do we live in where a jewish math/logic whiz unironically regurgitates an article from an anti-semitic right wing conspiracy theory website that also happens to employ real life nazis, thinking it's real news that anybody should click on.

If I do a news search on Google without the word "Breitbart" in it, I have to go to like the tenth page of results to find a Breitbart article. I assume that Google's algorithms push Breitbart articles down in my search results because I never visit Breitbart.

Here's another question for David. Do we have to take Bobby Fischer's political opinions seriously because he was really, really smart?

these dudes lack self control and really, you think that it's better when these trolls hang out for months on end, popping in occasionally to derail with some horrible post? i'd rather engage the full scale meltdown straight out the gates and be done with it.
