Damage Done by the Right-Wing Media in 2016

[_Ceeboo]

It nailed him, and also served as a spot on description of your behavior, too. What matters to you is people thinking you're a good guy. But your nice streak is a mile wide and an inch deep that you picked up from the Team Jesus brochures describing what a nice person should be like. It takes very little to scratch through it and see you really don't like being told you aren't a nice person. Why? Because you aren't a nice person and it's very easy to get to the inner you. You just trade in complements like its a currency that pays the rent on your self-worth from day-to-day.

So true.

Find just about any post in Ceeboo's history, remove all the idiotic emoticons, and he's the exact asshole he's constantly bitching about, hiding behind symbols meant to pretend he's joking.

I am starting to get very weary of all of the nasty personal attacks.

All you have to do is stop.

I am starting to get very weary of all of the nasty personal attacks.

I think their sense of frustration, aside from your saccharin gif spamming, is your lack of willingness to source, debate to any consistent degree, and inability to mount a good argument. Deferring to an authority figure isn't really effective. You'll note they're often guilty of the same.

Also, you're dealing with deeply hypocritcal and in some cases fundamentally degenerate people who can't see clearly because of the beams in their eyes, all the while claiming you're blind. Think back on any interactions you might've had arguing with zealots, be they Mormon, Communist, Trumpist, or Feminist. They're impossibly faithful to their identities, and pathologically incapable of admitting error, because to do so might start a cascade reaction of cognition in their brains resulting in some semblance of normalcy, which they find abhorrent.

Don't sweat it. It's not like you're breaking bread with them.

Ceeboo, you’ve not written Doc off yet so maybe you’ll consider his words here.

I think that although we’ve traded a post or two, the closest I’ve recently been able to get to examining one of your premises with you led to three posts by you criticizing my word choice, as opposed to exploring the topic.

I would find it refreshing if you were willing to ditch the appeal to authority and discuss why you believe, as example, Prager’s anecdote about the Starbucks incident amounts to Leftists trying to shut down your free speech. Prager, and then yourself, use this as an example of such without seemingly being able to explain how that actually works. Simply making the accusation without being able to rationally examine or defend it is precisely what contributes to the dysfunction infecting political discourse these days.

There you go, Ceebs. Object Lesson #1 presents itself.

And the moron decides to double down. Shocker.

And there's Object Lesson #2, Ceeboo. Some Schmo is a racist and a virulent turd bird bigot, but because he's from some shithole in Central America he feels like he has a free pass to let his true colors show. *shrugs*

Ok, let's play.

Here's an example of Trump showing signs of being a compulsive liar, meaning despite clear evidence that what he's saying as he's saying it isn't true he still went with the lie:

Last week, the official death toll from Hurricane Maria was raised to almost 3000. Basically, as many people as were killed on 9/11 died in Puerto Rico as the result of the hurricane.

Trump, faced with this evidence, said: "I think we did a fantastic job in Puerto Rico."

How exactly is this indicative of being a compulsive liar? You may think otherwise about the job done in PR. but this does not conclude with you being the honest one and Trump being the compulsive liar.
Pathology indeed.

Nice act. ; )

Here you are; a few examples of Trump lying, at the link below. I’d say that the quantity presented here isn’t typical for normal functional folks.
