"The best sources! Great sources, fantastic sources, very reputable, never the lugenpresse failing New York Times." And yet, you offer nothing. Your approach to debate and argument: you are the autistic !@#$tard who walks up to the urinal, stands 3 feet away and pisses his pants every time, claps his hands and looks for support that you done good. Bravo short bus, bravo.
B-Man Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I post a reply stating that you really should see WHO wrote the article you are reading, and judge it based on THEIR worth, not the site, And LA Rant and Busey come along and ridicule the sites again.........................this is beyond poor comprehension. I would also add, that there are multiple times a day I post from the NYT, WaPo, or one of the Networks, but I guess that doesn't help with their conclusion Delusion. . 1

It's not the site, it's not the paper, it's the journalist and the article on their merits. You can tell the good from the bad from your ability to source and confirm the information yourself. With the articles I link - that's always possible or I give that warning. From the "unconfirmed" and "unnamed" sources that permeate the resist side of this discussion, you can't. But LA Bloviator and Gary don't want truth. They want their preformed convulsions confirmed. I'd call it intellectual laziness but that would imply they had intellects. The way they post I doubt either could logic their way out of a wet paper bag.

All I advocate for is people having as much real information as they can - it's up to them to decide the merits of that information. What I see with you (and please don't get me wrong, though we disagree on many things I have no problems with you personally, you crack me up) is someone who refuses to accept information that doesn't come in familiar/standardized/partisan forms. That used to be an okay way to operate, you could do that and still get pretty good information, but not in today's world. I've called it an information war for a reason.

I mean, it involves doing a little bit of work; so I can understand why someone who has outsourced their critical thinking to "professionals" might object, but it's not hard to do.

Gary M Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 2 hours ago, Tiberius said: More trouble for Hillary, Obama and, well, David Hogg, because why not! They don't play in the tree house WASHINGTON — A top Trump campaign official had repeated communications during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential race with a business associate tied to Russian intelligence, according to a document released on Tuesday by the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the election. The campaign official, Rick Gates, had frequent phone calls in September and October 2016 with a person the F.B.I. believes had active links to Russian spy services at the time, the document said. Mr. Gates also told an associate the person “was a former Russian Intelligence Officer with the G.R.U.,” the Russian military intelligence agency. The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, is investigating numerous contacts between President Trump’s advisers and Russia-linked individuals and entities leading up to and after the November 2016 election. The document, filed in Mr. Mueller’s name, stated that the communications between Mr. Gates and the individual were “pertinent to the investigation.” https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/28/us/politics/rick-gates-trump-campaign-russian-intelligence.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news A guy that knows Trump talked to a guy that knows a guy.
