> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > I’ll give you that it was a direct quote. It’s also misleading as hell and wrong. > > The figure you quote is from the sale of 25 condos by one realtor, specifically by Lana Bell of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty in Sunny Isles, in 2013. It is not a figure for overall sales of condos in any one city, let alone in all of South Florida. Your second link is quite clear on where the statistic is drawn from. > > So were you too stupid to understand what you were reading and linking to, or were you just lying and hoping no one would notice? If you’re anywhere around that area, I will give you the address of a park on the ocean in between three of the luxury condo complexes, where condos start at $1M+ and go much higher. If you hear something other than Russian spoken at that park’s playground, I will be surprised. ---

> [@Okrahoma](#): > > Trump thrives on this confusion. He knows there are no tapes. Or “tapes”. But his tweet has you (plural) all discombobulated. Ah yes, the 4-D chess theory. Trump has cleverly diverted talk away from his legislative victory on health care, to blatant obstruction of justice. Genius, I tells ya. ---

So you won’t acknowledge your previous lies, you now seek to bolster your position with more personal anecdotes; how does that normally work out for you? I’m going to guess not so well, because it’s not going so well for you right now. Your evidence was shit. Your anecdotes are shit. It’s not a surprise. ---
