    Speaking the truth to your fallacious nonsense -does- tend to offend you and render you incapable of meaningful response.
    As we see, quoted above.

    Empty claims, de rigueur for you.
    Burden of proof is on those making the claims - in this case, the journalist, and by extension, you.
    You know you cannot meet that burden.

    Those Jan 6th rioters are really getting it from all sides. They are being arrested, they will probably will be locked up, and they are losing their jobs, while Trump is denigrating them as "low class", and the majority of the RW pretends they are Antifa plants. They are really between a rock and a hard place. I guess they were a little bit too trusting that Trump and their fellow RWers would actually stand up for them. At the end, it is just everyone for themselves, which is not unexpected, since that's official Trump party social policy.

    Who do you have in mind? I cannot think of any former President that has been so divisive, self-centered and out-of-touch with how democracy should work.

    All of them. Every President wants more power than he has - and many have been happy to act on their own when they could not otherwise get what they want.

    All of which, even if true, is irrelevant to the point you tried to make.

    Trump wouldn't allow a single one of his supporters near Mar-A-Lago. LOL

    Given you didn't respond to the first part of my, post, it doesn't matter - you concede the point.
    You have no rational basis for your "wannabe dictator" claim.

    Ok, let me rephrase my statement. He wouldn't allow a single pauper supporter near Mar-A-Lago. Only those who want to funnel in tons of cash would be allowed.

    So, you stay on your side and I'll stay on mine.

    History will show who is in the right.

    Given your inability support your position, I think we both know who wins.

    LOL. The burden goes to whoever holds the resolution, meaning, the one who is making the novel claim. In a world where use of anonymous sources is regular journalistic practice (in D.C., at the least), the claim that the source is bogus or the quotes made up is the novel claim. So you want to claim the journalist is lying - pony up with your evidence. Or shut the hell up.

    I think the Mcclatchy article during the Mueller Probe is prime example of fake news as an example. Rolling Stone anyone? So yeah without naming or identifying the source we have to take the NYMAG with a grain of salt.

    Not to be redundant, but if Trump had told the truth and admitted he lost the election the only thing 1/6/21 would be known for is Biden being certified.

    Trump doesn't pick stupid people. (except maybe scaramuchi and juliani)....smart people know that when a terrorist organization, the left (will kill you for not agreeing), the SMART thing to do is FLIP

    There is nothing shameful about survival instinct

    Dont' worry my friends, the left's bully tactics will come back to bite them HARD!

    If you say so. We know for sure that that is what has happened, with Trump's bullying tactics.

    If the RS article is reporting that is false and known to be false at the time of its publication, then you should be able to point to some evidence of it. You're free of course to harbor whatever suspicions of the media you like, but that hardly suffices for your charge of "fake news."

    The evidence is the journalistic source itself, a reputable magazine with a national audience. They can be assumed to be upholding standard journalistic best practices - until shown otherwise. If you claim that they're lying - well, pony up.

    Yep, sounds pretty good. After all, an anonymous source can say anything about anything, and we all should just believe it, eh?

    Sorry, no.
