Summations Only

Did you see the press conference yesterday? What did you think of it?Did Trump actually have the greatest electoral college margin since Ronald Reagan? Or is there some poll somewhere that shows Trump was right about that?Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

If he meant that, he'd still be wrong. George HW Bush got 426 electoral votes. The only president since Reagen that Trump surpassed was George W Bush. Trump was confronted with the real numbers and simply said that he "heard it somewhere." There is nothing to find out. I suppose if you believe something untrue, you are not lying when you repeat it. Yeah, I know you believe that. I was hoping for explanations that don't begin and end with baseless conspiracy theories.

Actually, I only quoted Republican approval numbers from an opinion piece. Trump's actual approval ratings are 40% with a 55% disapproval rating. If that does not constitute toilet, it is because his ratings have never been in the celebration range with which most other presidents start their terms.Edited by NoNukes, : Toilet is the right word.

Your memory is very selective. The press was all over Obama's statement that "'If you like your health care plan, you can keep it ...' Perhaps this is an example of how you view reality rather than some example of a biased press.At the very least, surely you can agree that Trump's actions have been controversial even if you agree with them. The idea that the press cannot then ask difficult questions seems a bit silly.Surely you noticed Trump insulting some reporters before they even asked their questions. Translation to regular speak: "I believe every wingnut theory ever presented."Of course, you can find BS on the internet. What is questionable is your ability to separate the chaff from the wheat? How you always end up on the wrong end of that task on every single subject from vaccines, to geology, to politics is a marvel.

The above is one sentence out of an excellent post.The country is highly polarized. Anyone who cannot accept that huge sections of the population see Trump differently than they do is fairly naive. Of course "all of the folks I know" is not a representative sample of anything but me.More than half of folks voted against Trump. Many if not all of them were expecting exactly the kinds of things that Trump is currently not doing. Why would it be strange that Trump is extremely unpopular at least that portion of folks?Again, I am still waiting to hear some earnest opinions from conservatives. Surely their opinions are not all based on conspiracy theories based on Drudge report and Infowars>

And yet you've just displayed an inability to evaluate claims of witchcraft and a superstitious view of your own life.You are right, my post was just opinion. But all I have to do to demonstrate your inability to vet your own sources is to quote from your posts, to count the number of times you miss stuff contrary to what you say in the sources you, yourself provide, and the sheer number of ridiculous conspiracy theories you adopt.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Uh, this is pretty much a rabbit hole. Let's just say that I'm glad to learn that you are not a moon landing conspiracy promoter .

Except that CNN did not do any such thing. They reported that there was a dossier, that Trump and Obama had been briefed on the dossier and they reported the contents. More recently CNN reported that some of the contents had been confirmed but that none of the confirmed content involved the salacious allegations.Trump's calling out of CNN as having put out fake news was and is a complete lie. I challenge you to find any details that show anything to the contrary.

Most of what you reported was a few facts like letters included words about pizza, followed by interpretations that are likely complete bullshit, such as "nobody talks about pizza that way".The origins of this story are well known. The story is wrapped around a few things that are facts but that are quite innocent and some things that are manufactured (the photos of children for example).I would love to see either you or HG try to put together a narrative around the story being the least bit plausible. But I cannot take either of your words at face value. Make your best case.

Your claim is not fact and you did not quote any email language so we cannot even say that your claim is about what is "obvious" as if that were an actual argument. I explicitly said that was your characterization of the reference to pizza that is not fact. Are you going to quit stalling and back up your claim or are you going to continue to insist that it is my job to support your claims.

So now the report has gone from fake news to being just news that you wish was not reported. Let's recall that your original statement is that they treated the story as if it were true when they clearly did no such thing. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

So not a single quote of strange language from any of the emails? Instead protesting that your conclusions are obvious and that you should not even be asked to demonstrate even one example?I'm going to stop pretending to be surprised.

It sounds to me like you are just inclined to find dirt where folks are claiming there is dirt.Surely you are old enough to remember the Art Linkletter show with the "Kids still say the darndest things" segment. What was the premise of that segment other than the entertainment value and wisdom shared by the youngest among us? Art published books full of that stuff almost of all of which is still capable of entertaining folks today.I suppose using your inane standard, folks who read those books are pedophiles.I frequently relate things my kids did when they were young to other folks and for the most part folks find that stuff somewhere between amusing and gut busting laughter inducing. Okay, some of it is boring to people who are not my kids parents. But by and large, the younger the kids, the more funny the stories. So, yeah, there is nothing particularly strange about referring to young kids as being entertaining.Of course if you are looking for some reason to find a pedophile behind every email, then you can turn lots of innocent language, like, "isn't she just adorable", into nasty stuff. That's what I think you are doing here.

Do you believe that this practice you are describing occurred among liberals in general? Given that Obama was not responsible, is there some reason that it reflects on him or the huge number of his supporters in any way.What is the difference between you picking on that video, and me claiming that some random Trump supporter who happens to be a neo-naxi represents you? Because I would consider both ideas to be pretty idiotic.
