It’s tempting, but no. While pointing out that he is doing the same thing you do to many other people is hilarious, I don’t have any obligation to defend someone who repeatedly uses dishonest tactics.
It’s frustrating, isn’t it? When people interpret your words literally when your context clearly indicates a different meaning? The laws did pass in the House.
If you’ll admit to those shitty tactics you have been using and say you’ll at least try to stop using them, then I will defend you. But I do not want to reward such tactics by defending you against them when you seem to think they are perfectly acceptable.
Wise advice. I have gone many years with only one name on my ignore list. Today I realize that aggressive stupidity doesn’t need to be rebutted. It can be ignored.
Let’s say somebody went through the trouble of analyzing all of Clinton and Obama’s encyclopedia of speeches for lies. What the fuck difference does that make? Does that all the sudden absolve Trump of his lies?
Personally, I’d bet more of Trump’s lies are rooted in ignorance, rather than intentional deception. Plus, he gave up honesty and integrity a long time ago so he could be a winner. Winners never consider themselves wrong, and surround themselves with toadies to shift blame to whenever convenient.
And yes - this is the exact tactic that you use; Parsing words with a fine-toothed comb in order to find a loophole. Sucks doesn’t it? And when you’re on the receiving end, you’ll just stick your fingers in your ears.
Imagine accusing a atheist of apostasy for abandoning his piety toward a faith he never held. The acuusation just makes no sense: the idea of religious observance as a part of the atheist’s character and his life just simply has no place.
This is generally the same as criticizing Trump for not being honest. The whole concept of honesty simply has no place in Trump’s character. The concept of being honest or dishonest has literally no bearing on how he sees himself.
Yes, the OP is great illustration for ‘never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity’.
A lot of those are not so much lies as much as they are idiotic blather. We shouldn’t be mad at the lies, just embarrassed that we elected such a dumbass. He probably believes his own bullshit.
Reminds me of when, circa 2005, people asked each other, “Why can’t GWB just have someone give him a blow job already, so we can get rid of that murderer of thousands (in unnecessary combat deaths)?”
Are you new here? That’s the only explanation I can think of for asking SA for ‘evidence’. SA doesn’t use, provide, or evaluate ‘evidence’. He’s comfortable with his own ‘feelings’ and with what ‘everyone knows’. No matter how incorrect, even stupid, that might be.
Well, that would be a nice change, but it doesn’t seem to be actually happening. You continue to insist on erroneous claims about the media and the public ignoring lies by Democratic politicians, even after you’ve been shown to be wrong. That’s not what thinking people do.
True, to the extent that “things he will accomplish” is synonymous in the Trump-supporter mindset with Pissing Off the Liberals.
Trump supporters in general don’t know or care what Trump will actually “accomplish” or whether it will actually be good for their interests or the country or the world. They have been reduced by decades of right-wing media bloviation to such a condition of ignorant partisan spite that all they really care about is Pissing Off the Liberals.
As long as Trump can be counted on to do and say things that make liberals horrified and angry, his supporters will go on gleefully championing him without knowing or caring in the least how much he’s lying, corrupt, incompetent and/or downright delusional. In fact, the more unfit for office he shows himself to be and the more liberal outrage his unfitness provokes, the happier he’ll make his supporters.
Hey that’s not fair. I can remember specifically an incidence where SA attempted to use a scientific simulation to determine if a particular shower-assault was possible.
