Can you list a few sources that you think are credible?
I know I know.

Fox, Breitbart, Stormfront.

I'm trying, at least. Not particularly hard, I admit, but I'm doing my best. No, that's not true. I'm at least posting something, though!

I figured a smart guy like you would read the link before dismissing it.

Not sure what it proves; wasn't using it to prove something. Was thinking and wondering about your remark that the (allegedly) "wildly liberal" educators are that way for the same reason the coal miners are (allegedly) wildly conservative.

I'm thinking more coal miners, on average, might tend to similar beliefs as their cohort without thinking deeply/independently about those beliefs.

The WAPO is garbage, they only won one pulitzer last year for reporting. The NYT only won two. What garbage.

I appreciate your concern, but I think we'll live. So, what are the first that come to mind?

I see you've been banned already so LOL you.

Anyway, when you come back, I'll be sure to remind you about this.

A part of intelligence is the ability to be critical while keeping an open mind. You apparently, can't even do that.

It's the same thing as going into SE and saying the Patriots are a ****ty football team and can't win games. That would get you banned for trolling yet we allow this ****.
03-18-2017 , 11:10 PM
Maybe you hate the ACLU because you hate democracy and freedom? I'm guessing it has something to do with that anyway.

Yes, I was pointing out before we realized Lew got a timeout that he should have gotten one.

I know you are banned for being a silly goose but when you return put up or shut up on media sources. I will take the Washington Post and you can choose any other news entity on the planet as it relates to 2017 American problems, DC centric.

Just blasting sources as fake news or being biased while never ever having to provide what one would consider a credible or reliable source.

It never happens though because just like Trump supporters with Whataboutism or Republicans and actual policy discussion their only moves are to deflect and attack. Never providing anything of substance or worthy of debate. Then we get the sad faces because people won't play the stupid games with them.

The next intelligent defense of the AHCA on any level I read will be the first one. So don't talk about policy because it means you have to take responsibility. It's one of my peeves with some non voters because some simply don't vote because they don't want to be responsible.

After no policy we just say all media is horrible and biased and slanted and fake. The ONLY counter source presented with a straight face is Trump himself which just causes things to self combust because you can't have a legitimate discussion on anything with someone who can't recognize Trump as the lyingist liar in liarstan.

So we don't talk policy, we don't actually have any sources of information we use outside of memes because they are too easily discredited. Then we just bring up Obama or Clinton when things get too hot. Not sure why people don't understand why we get indignant after we do all these things because nobody treats us seriously. I mean we could act like adults but still...

It was me.

There is still no proof. That photo is nothing new. It has been explained in several articles already such as the following one. I can provide more links if required.

lol at that article is your gullibility for real?

Understandably, Gorka Jr. was deeply moved by his father’s dedication. It’s why, for example, he wore his father’s Vitézi Rend medal to President Trump’s inauguration. You may find this kind of devotion to be overly doting or even creepy, but if you’re being honest, the story here is simple and in some ways touching.
lololol

he basically had no choice!

This thread is a list of 50% people who are on my ignore list (many from other threads having nothing to do with politics - just trolls I've ignored over the years), 40% people who then quote and respond to the trolls I've ignored and 10% great links and breaking information which is the only reason I enjoy this thread. Can we please get the 10% back up to at least 20% or *gasp* 30%? I'm all for dissenting, intelligent opinions, but when a moron is just happy being a moron, can we please kick them to the curb?

Sorry for the rant, but geeeez.
03-19-2017 , 02:39 AM
This is what we are dealing with. A completely standard filing for appeal gets turned into "Trump sure is sticking it to those liberals"

The amount of times I've seen this shared by "Friends" of mine is disturbing.

Took me too long to realize the far left really isn't mad at trump for being an authoritarian, they just wished he was on their side. It's a shame that reasonable people are the minority and I think we're gonna see states secede at some point; I really dunno how america can come back from this.

That above article is AIDS. WAAF.
