    Fuuuuny! You gonna believe Time? Or Mueller's Report?

    he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities”

    “Among other things, the evidence was not suffice to charge any Campaign official as an unregistered agent of the Russian government or other Russian principal. And our evidence about the the June 9, 2016 meeting and WikiLeaks’s releases of hacked materials was not sufficient to charge a criminal campaign-finance violation,”

    “Further, the evidence was not sufficient to charge that any member of the Trump campaign conspired with representatives of the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election.”

    "The most senior levels of the Russian government encouraged these efforts. The investigation did not establish that these efforts reflected or constituted coordination between the Trump Campaign and Russia in its election-interference activities,"

    There is simply not enough evidence to bring charges. Does that mean he found no evidence?

    No, it mean that he didn't find any that would stand up to a cross examination and bring a guilty verdict. He's innocent.

    And Time is a liar. Read the report then read Time Magazine's version of the report. Vastly different.

    They lied to you and you believed it. Meanwhile I just showed you the actual report.

    Great! Glad to hear that. Although it's kinda sad that you apparently have no faith in your daughter considering your previous comments on her generation and ideal.

    We are both big wrestling fans. We were talking about inter gender wrestling and when she found out that I don't like it, suddenly it's,"It's disgusting that you think that way!"

    She was super pissed and it took a few weeks for me to talk her down. She live in Washington state. We talk on the phone one or twice a week. She lost her damn mind! Over a disagreement. Nothing even big.

    Super uptight.

    I mean, the fact that you insist that it isn't a big thing when it obviously is to her may be part of the problem. She obviously has a strong belief, and i can imagine her dad both having a radically different belief and actively minimizing/belittling her beliefs would indeed put strain on your relationship.

    Yeah. I'm a socialist, we're so far from Trump it's not even funny. I don't know how best to describe my problem with Thunberg but I'm gonna try and hope people understand.

    So my issue here has to do with the personification of what should be a mass movement. This is the problem that came up when Al Gore was the personification of the fight against global warming. All of Al Gore's problems became criticisms against thinking global warming was real. And you're seeing that too with her. furthermore, she' painfully scripted. All the news stories about her saying something is just that: a scripted statement to increase her own brand. That's all these things are: it's a product of capitalism. It's not stopping global warming (you actually can't in my opinion, but that's another topic) and all it's doing is giving the right someone to hate, because let me tell you this: the right *loves* to have an individual. Yes, they're racist, they're sexist, they hate entire groups. But when everything they hate boils down to one person, you start seeing the viciousness we see against Thunberg.

    Now that said, I despite the bullying she gets. I'm not a fan of adults attacking children because they don't like what's being said.

    I’ll believe both Time and the Mueller Report. And if there is evidence at all, Trump is not innocent.

    But let’s make a list of publications that are now “lying” because they won’t blow sunshine up Trump’s ass:

    Time magazine
    The Atlantic
    The New York Times
    The Washington Post
    The Wall Street Journal
    CNN
    MSNBC
    Fox friggin News
    People with degrees in science
    People with degrees in journalism
    People with degrees, period

    This whole scenario is starting the resemble the one in which a parent moves a child from one school to another and then another because “the teachers just won’t work with him or her.” Or the person who hops from job to job because “my boss is an ***hole.”

    If one or two teachers have had a problem with your child, or you’ve had a problem with one or two bosses, it might be the teacher or the boss.

    But if every teacher has a problem with your child and every boss has a problem with you, it’s time to look at the common denominator.

    If Trump said MSNBC, HuffPo and Daily Kos were biased against him, I would agree.

    But since he is targeting every mainstream news outlet, including those that no other Republican President has complained about, the problem is Trump. Not the outlets.

    And when his supporters are pretending that “preachers” with an eighth grade education who think that the Earth is 6000 years old, know more about science than people with PhDs in geology, then complain that college “ruins” people by “making them liberal”—it is not the problem of people who understand that knowledge and expertise are valuable, whether that knowledge “makes them liberal” or not, nor are any of us going to cowtow to the “expertise” of those who pretend to be experts without credentials to show for it, just because “conservative opinions need respect too even if we don’t want no book learnin’!”


    Same with my sons.

    It sounds like a stupid reason to be pissed at your parent. There are enough things driving families apart, this shouldn’t be one of them.

    I don’t know exactly what J-Rod said or has said, but I feel very confident saying it’s actually not a big deal that J-Rod simply doesn’t like inter gender wrestling.

    Donald Trump's latest totally coherent speech.

    "Joe Biden and his son are corrupt. But the fake news doesn't want to report it because they're Democrats. If a Republican ever did what Joe Biden did, if a Republican ever said what Joe Biden said, they'd be getting the electric chair by right now. You're all crooked as hell. Okay thank you very much, I hope you enjoyed it."

    Poor conservatives, reality and facts and science are biased against them. Too bad they have to drag the future down with them (something the younger generations are becoming more and more aware of).

    There's probably not much point to listing all the media outlets Trump attacks (he complains about even Fox News when their sycophancy level drops to only 99.99% rather than 110%), it just plays into conservatives' victim complex. Too bad that they're so obsessed with defending Trump, and there are so many abuses of power to cover up with Trump that its basically a full time job for them. Which doesn't leave any time for independent thought or critical thinking but that's probably heretical to them anyway.

    “So if you are the President of the United States and you are making a conversation that you know your intelligence community is listening to, of course you’re not going to articulate a quid pro quo. You’ll just make the quid pro quo happen.”
    Which 'fake news'[sic] outlet had a legal expert say this?
    Fox News. But you knew that!

    It plays into a conservative’s victim complex the way a school administrator pointing out that if every teacher has a problem with a child, the problem is the child, plays into the parent’s victim complex. Does not make the parent or the child a victim in reality.

    1. Yes, it’s laughable that Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize just for being elected.
    1A. I recall several Obama supporters critical of the decision in this very thread.
    2. If you say you deserve a Nobel Peace Prize, you don’t deserve a Nobel Peace Prize [face_mischief][face_coffee]

    @J-Rod say, for sake of discussion of climate change, let’s look at what happens based on who’s wrong. If “climate alarmists” are wrong, but get their way, we pay more in taxes, and get clean air, clean water, and biodiversity. If “climate deniers” are wrong, but get their way, a handful of corporations make more profits while we all die. Soooooo...
