Trump Mocks Evangelical Supporters And Their Christian Prayers

[IBDaMann]

I know exactly what I said. You haven't proven that it's not true yet.

I'm not going to do any more than bring certain events to your attention. You were the one who took an irrational position of believing an obviously false Atlantic story predicated on "anonymous sources" based on your illusory claim of "knowing Trump." John Bolton, who is not fan of Trump and who was there at the time was clearly far more credible than "anonymous sources."

I took you on your word that you would concede when you finally realized that the story was entirely silly and clearly wasn't true. The Atlantic's editor in chief now admits that Trump's account is "probably true" but that he's confident that his anonymous sources heard what is claimed in the article. Even foreign officials are lining up to utterly refute the story.

So was your promise genuine?

How is irrational? Various news sources confirmed the sources (they weren't anonymous BTW). Even Fox News acknowledged those sources.

If it's obviously false, you should be able to prove it. You haven't done so yet.

I took you on your word that you would concede when you finally realized that the story was entirely silly and clearly wasn't true.

And I still keep my word.

So was your promise genuine?

Yes.

What are their names then?

Even Fox News acknowledged those sources.

What does that mean? When was Fox News appointed as the "official acknowledgers."

If it's obviously false, you should be able to prove it.

Regrettably, you just brought us right back to you believing whatever lie on the basis it cannot be mathematically proven false. OK. Whatever. This is your preferred method of being manipulated.


I won't bring this up anymore.

What are their names then?

You will have to ask the reporters. But then again you're asking them to break the deal.

What does that mean? When was Fox News appointed as the "official acknowledgers."

It means they knew who the people were behind the sources.

Regrettably, you just brought us right back to you believing whatever lie on the basis it cannot be mathematically proven false. OK. Whatever. This is your preferred method of being manipulated.

One more time, I said I'd concede if it was proven false. I am not easily manipulated. No idea why you think so. It was hard for me to believe about the pee tape.

I won't bring this up anymore.

So you give up?

Hey, APL, how the heck YOU doin'? I'm doing well, with the exception of getting ANOTHER effing ban on USMB. This one is for only 5 days, and I'll be able to post again Monday afternoon.

Again???!!?? Stop what you have been doing and you won't be banned!!!!

But yeah I've been doing okay. My friend just died from OD a couple of days ago. Just the usual around here so I am holding up okay.

 

[IBDaMann]

So you give up?

Of course. Your position is that you will believe any lie handed to you by the media until I prove it mathematically false.

I was just pointing out to you how you were being lied to and manipulated and you said "Thanks but no thanks."

So, if you're happy then I'm happy.

Again, no I don't. You can keep repeating it till your face gets blue. It still won't make it true.

The piss tape thing is a very hard thing to believe. So that's one thing I don't believe about Trump. So your argument is null and void.

I was just pointing out to you how you were being lied to and manipulated and you said "Thanks but no thanks."

You have not shown me how I am being lied to and manipulated. As I have stated, I will concede if I turn out to be wrong. Is it possible that's it's lie? Sure, it's possible. The problem is that it's way too specific and Trump has done it before few times.

So, if you're happy then I'm happy.

I'm not happy about the situation.

You are not entitled to their names. You apparently cannot understand how journalism works and cannot learn. I feel sad that you do not understand that getting the names would end journalism as we know it. https://www.ap.org/about/news-values-and-principles/telling-the-story/anonymous-sources We will not destroy journalism because you do not understand anonymous. sources. Anonymous sources are scrutinized. The reporter does not use random people. They check them out and corroborate.

 

[IBDaMann]

You are not entitled to their names.

Correct. They have no entitlement to be believed.

You apparently cannot understand how journalism works

I know how journalism works and we really don't have it anymore. Heavy political activism has replaced journalism.

I feel sad that you do not understand that getting the names would end journalism as we know it.

I feel sad that you are a mindless zombie. The world would suck less if you weren't shoveling bullshit.

The end result is that the media is only trusted by gullible tools, such as yourself, who believe whatever they are told to believe.

I, for one, would appreciate having actual honest, unbiased, balanced news.
