    Biased people incapable of objective thinking is another way to put it.

    History will remember him very well, once peoples emotions simmer down. History will be kind to him, and not very kind to dems for sure.

    To much information is available not to.

    It’s a very QAnon form of argument. State a lie as a fact then blame others for not doing the research. Continue with the lie even if someone posts a little no proving conclusively that you’re spouting lies.

    I have never made a false statement on this forum. Your inability to ever back up such a statement is proof alone.

    I cannot help that you and most on the left here refuse to do an ounce of research and instead rely on the MSM to do your thinking for you.

    Except you haven't done that at all, nor is anything I have said a lie.

    I've spoken specifically about verifiable facts from the LFPR, unemployment, and the number on govt assistance.

    These show how much better Trump did than Obama, this is an objective fact regardless of how much you hate this.

    I’d love to discuss the same facts you’re discussing. I just have no idea where you’re pulling them from. I’d probably need to wash my hands if I went digging for what ever you’re talking about.

    Three pages in and you finally list a source. Now, can we trouble you to provide a link? Not an insurmountable task I would think.

    Are we to take your word for this statement of yours here?

    Do you believe refusing to post sources during political discussions is a good way to further those discussions?

    Cool, list some historians then.
    Let me guess, they are in your secret source location that only you can access through your moms basement?

    The election was certified by both the EC and by Congress. It's over(been over). Joe Biden is the duly elected President of the US, just as Trump was. And just like Trump, Biden deserves the space to lead and the respect of the Office.

    I like sources. I like the irony of someone making an unsubstantiated claim while complaining about an unsubstantiated claim. Do you like irony?

    The claim that a specific group has been resorting to certain debate strategy is personal observation, I too have witnessed it but I believe it is because some people have moved to a post-fact world because they can find nothing that agrees with them outside of sources that will have them laughed out of the conversation. That is vastly different than someone refusing to source data that they claim to have under the guise of “do your own homework”.


    I do enjoy irony, in works of literature. Not in discussions

    If there was a coup attempt, you would know it without having to pretend like you are now.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

    Pretend nothing. Terrorist mob breaks into congress looking to hang the VP and restrain elected officials because they don’t like how an election went. That’s an attempted coup. All day, every day.

    What specific group are you referring to? What “people” specifically have moved to a post fact world?
    Apparently you aren’t keen on me pointing out the irony in this discussion either. Which in and of itself, in light of this post, is also ironic.

    If they wanted to coup, they would have couped. They didn't coup.

    But hey, don't let my opinion get in the way of delusional thinking, I respect everyone's right to have crazy thoughts, even if they are off the deep end.

    So, go get em tiger!

    If you are really interested in this subject and my personal stance (and a bunch more irony) I suggest reading this short thread. Perhaps the “specific group” is present, or maybe some post-fact people.

    Well we all know Biden draws these type of "crowds" ... (Oh yehh, just because he's supper duper stringent on 'Covid' & NOT for a lack of enthusiasm) ROTFL...

    [​IMG]

    Well one way to get "bodies" into his accolade pics is to co-opt troops much like 'fat boy' from N-Korea does... Brilliant!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    There... See ~ Biden's inauguration is likely to be well attended 25K + troops & all (ROTFL) Sure, America would have turned out in droves to overflow the National Mall in support otherwise... right? We all know the shtick & the illegitimacy / fraud rife throughout the election process... hope you take satisfaction in y'alls maleficence... I don't! (though I pray for a silver lining in all of this) God Bless America is my prayer & I will pray for Present Biden & this administration as I see them as needing all the Beneficent help (from our Creator) that they can get...

    Except it isn’t ironic. When asked for a source the poster didn’t say “find it yourself” while still asserting they were right. They made a statement, most likely a personal observation.

    Would you like me to explain what irony is?

    I don’t know how you could explain something you can’t spot.

    Where did I say someone asked for a source to be told to “find it yourself”?

    Ok. Then help me spot it. Educate me. Here is the definition:

    i·ro·ny
    /ˈīrənē/

    noun
    1. the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

    Show me how the statement is ironic.
