I kinda got burnt on this conversation mid-post. The line-by-line quoting has proliferated to the point that I either have to skip around significantly, repeat myself over and again in the course of...
The fact that he shared the story back before he was fired doesn't prove it was a crime. It proves that he's not just complaining now that he just got fired. Your "obvious and transparent"...
Before going through this, let me point out that we are discussing Trump having a nightmare week. I posted an insane list of negative headlines, and your defense for many of them was just "not...
1) It's obvious so long as you're reading the news so half-assedly that you don't realize that it directly contradicts the timeline. Comey told his friends about these conversations.
2) Comey...
Let me recap for you then:
Trump fired the FBI Director who was leading the Russia-Trump investigation for a reason that no one bought in the first place (because he was unfair to Trump's...
...
It's also *maybe* worth noting (but almost certainly not worth it) that I do think JKDS is kinda onto something that the appropriation and counter-appropiation and n-word edgelords and the...
I could have added additional examples of you being a dad in my analogy versus not being a dad, of you being a loving dad versus a neglectful one, etc all adding additional context.
Also, the race...
You didn't really address the main point of my post:
The context of what you say matters. Your race is (one easily outnumbered) part of that context. This is what happens when we have...
Before getting into it, I'll first re-emphasize that I don't think that every time a white person uses the word "nigger" it's necessarily wrong, and every time a black person uses it it is...
Hence the word "ignorance." You live in a society where there's an awareness that a word you use is offensive, and instead of choosing to educate yourself on why that is and seek to understand from...
Okay, I guess I just invite a bit more nuance into my worldview.
I don't happen to think Louis CK's entire personhood is written off because of his "That nigger made the shit out of my coffee"...
I see we've entered the quibbling phase of our dialog.
TIL "fake" is a made-up word. I'd been using it for years, decades even. I didn't realize how ahead of my time I was.
I was...
So you agree my definition is more technically correct and that the way we've started to abuse it now is harmful. Seems like we're closer to agreeing than disagreeing?
I'm not out-of-touch with...
I was talking specifically about the use of the term "fake news."
I already know you feel that the MSM is less than credible. I'm talking about fabricated information, not a general change of tone...
From a historical perspective, this is somewhat revisionist. What happened was mainstream journalists broke a story about people writing fake news and distributing it through social media sites. ...
I damn near doubled the word-count of my post trying to make it as clear as possible that I don't think CNN deserves a Pulitzer for not publishing the dossier.
I'm saying if we're comparing it to...
Just to use CNN as an example. Again, I hate them, probably tuned into them once since the Obama/Romney election and that was on November 8th. I do use their website for their exit polls, but other...
Don't feel like doing a whole thing right now, but I basically just mean always immediately going to the nuclear word. Credibility of a news story is a whole spectrum and there is a whole variety of...
I was asking if you cared so much specifically because it's Hillary's campaign manager.
No actually, Infowars quite demonstrably does NOT practice anywhere near the same standards as CNN and HuffPo. I hate both of those outlets with a deep and undying passion, but that Infowars story...
Ong, just out of curiosity, why do you care so much? Is this part of your Hillary hatred, or is it just a side interest?
If I were to find out Kellyanne Conway were a serial killer, this wouldn't...

Not sure if you're aware, but wuf was a massive, raging liberal when Obama was elected. Like as crazed as he is about Ben Garrison and Scott Adams now, he used to be as much of a ThinkProgress and...
[Emphasis added]
No, but it means that it might be. And as other explanations get harder to justify, it becomes the more likely explanation.
I'm not offended when people say that just because...
