Re: Lying for Trump

He repeatedly iterated his own position that immigration should be merit based and claimed that Trump was actually expressing that position, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

What is the evidence to the contrary? All I've seen so far is that it has been reported (by one person) that Trump said shithole countries.

Now, the people in the meeting are saying that he didn't say that.

Your conclusion is that the people in the meeting are lying and the one person claiming otherwise is definitely the truth?

What's your source? Even Trump's tweet only denied the terminology, not the sentiment. Both Durbin (D-IL) and Graham (R-SC) say he used the terminology and expressed the sentiment that people from countries like El Salvador, Haiti and Africa aren't welcome.

So did he say shithole or not?

Re: Lying for Trump

Is that an important point?

It's important enough to be the focus of all the headlines... because someone said he said it

Re: Lying for Trump

You ignored everything else I said to focus on the least important question,

Regardless of the importance, it is the question I asked.

one which was answered anyway with all the evidence I presented that Trump did indeed say "shithole countries".

And your evidence is hearsay. Bravo

Re: Lying for Trump

As NoNukes and I have pointed out and described why, you are focusing on the superficial.

I was just curious if he actually said shithole or not.

Except it isn't hearsay. What the president said has been verified through a variety of sources by multiple news outlets.

So where's the proof he said shithole?

But much more importantly, the specific words he used is an insignificant issue compared to the sentiments he expressed, which you seem strangely uninterested in.

I dunno, I saw a headline that said South Africa is protesting because he said shithole.

I'm uninterested in the sentiment because I already know that. I don't know if he actually said shithole or not.

Is it really your sole interest to defend Trump...

There you go again! Good day, sir.

Re: Lying for Trump

aren't you a Trump supporter

What!? No. WTF?

This is fucking ridiculous, I'm just gonna stop talking.

The tribalism is too much - either I dive head first into the circlejerk or I have to be treated as being diametrically opposed to it - that is so stupid it hurts.

Goodbye understanding through discussion.
