I watch and listen to anyone that has written an article on a subject in which I'm interested. What usually happens is I'll hear some tidbit of news, think to myself, "Is that really true?" then go searching for other sources to back up the first one.

If you read a number of articles on the same subject, you'll get a good picture of what's really going on.

And that's why I criticize Fox. All too often, they're the only ones reporting something, usually because they damned made it up. Often they'll report something, and I can verify it in other places, but the slant they gave the story was off-the-charts biased to the point of BS.

I don't read anything that comes from a brietbart author. Those guys are shameless bullshitters. You have to be seriously brainwashed to believe any of their nonsense.

...

by the way, I'm sympathetic to your concerns about the homelessness problem in CA. I honestly am not sure what should be done about that. I haven't heard anyone offer a practical solution.

I kinda of do the same, but I also look for ones that disagree with the view, and then look for facts, and look at it with commonsense.

I buy a lot of tools online...and I look at all the reviews, but I found that the 3 and 4 stars are usually the most accurate.

The 5 stars are by folks that generally don't know how to use tools or don't use them professionally. And the 1 stars, unless the product came broken are generally the same, folks that don't know how to use the tool, or use them professionally. So I look for 3 and 4 written by folks that I feel actually no how to use them.

Your saying you won't read Brietbart is like saying as a Mormon I won't read the Tanners...at least in my view. Why not read first, check out the facts and merit and then make the decision...like with Mormonism, if my politics can't past my test of truth, then I am only deceiving myself.

There is a quote I kinda remember and it goes something like..."When a truth, becomes the only truth, then it becomes a lie..." I think we need to test all things and I would hope you might look at what the facts are in regards to the Biden family...if even half true, you can't dismiss his corrupt nature.

I appreciate our conversation, i am starting to see you in a different light.

Hey Markk, I have a new bet for you. Same stakes as before (name/avatar change for up to one year):

I'm betting that whoever gets nominated for the Democrats (assuming it's not Biden) will suddenly be accused of some kind of corruption/scandal before the November vote. We aren't hearing anything about that right now: please note.

That would be pretty clear evidence the GOP just likes to manufacture scandals on their political opponents, wouldn't it? It would also explain why Trump was suddenly so interested in Biden's "corruption" last spring, when Biden entered the race and jumped to the top of the polls.

Doesn't it seem like the most remarkable coincidence in the world that Trump happens to be interested only in the corruption of the guy most likely to face off against him in the election? I've never once heard him talk about stamping out corruption as a policy; he's only ever spoken about it in the context of Biden. Doesn't that strike you as at least a bit contrived?

I suspect most of his base won't admit that because it seems so obvious to a casual, objective observer, they'd have to admit to being gullible fools. Either that or they actually are gullible fools.

Do you still entertain the truth claims of the church, or have you heard enough by now that you don't have to?

I've read plenty enough of brietbart to understand where they're coming from. I will not pay attention to an outfit drowning in BS.

I agree with your sentiment, but I've looked into this Biden thing. It's a crock of crap only given credence by extremists on the right.

No way, I wouldn't have bet you the first time if the right did not hold the house (that was your bane)...I might bet you though that if the right gets the house, and the left gets in, that they will be a vote to impeach, especially if it is Biden.

If Sanders or Warren get in we will be in a instant depression...especially if it is Sanders. But the left is not going to let him get in. What would be classic is if Sanders went Independent and did a Ross Perot.

What the left is doing is impeaching for political gain...period, and what it is doing is setting a horrible precedence. Impeachment should not and can not be partisan by nature...but it is too late.



That would be pretty clear evidence the GOP just likes to manufacture scandals on their political opponents, wouldn't it? It would also explain why Trump was suddenly so interested in Biden's "corruption" last spring, when Biden entered the race and jumped to the top of the polls.


If you read all things, you would have read that Rudy was looking at corruption in the Ukraine back in 2018...many left wing publications cautioned Biden about Hunter working the energy company...before he entered the race.

I can't believe anyone would accuse the right of fabricating scandals in light of the past three years, they have been pushing for impeachment before he even got sworn in.

From peeing on bed sheets to being a traitor we have seen everything thrown at this President...

I have to get to work, spent too much time here today already. I make my own schedule and I will be working late to make up for lost time, but do me a favor...check out the quotes and follow the end notes I gave to doc, and as a fellow independent tell me there are no issues there? If you get the time do oyour own study on Hunter, Joe's brother James, and his sister...like I wrot eif have of it is true, it is not good.

It won't be an instant depression. That's crazy talk. Anything they want to do will have to pass congress first.

I disagree. He ran and said things before he was elected that disqualified him for office, but the right didn't care and insisted on putting their lame damned slug into office.

It's not the Democrats' fault the right picked a crook.

If you read all things, you would have read that Rudy was looking at corruption in the Ukraine back in 2018...many left wing publications cautioned Biden about Hunter working the energy company...before he entered the race.

Oh, I definitely knew about that. He was highly criticized for it too.

I can't believe anyone would accuse the right of fabricating scandals in light of the past three years, they have been pushing for impeachment before he even got sworn in.

From peeing on bed sheets to being a traitor we have seen everything thrown at this President...

And everything thrown his way is 100% justified. Only right-wingers refuse to see that.

LOL...you are totally aghast (struck with fear that there are different narratives that dare verge into your predetermined ideology) aren't you. Your are better than this. I gave you some real data, with end notes...which were asked for by you...very weak my friend, I would be embarrassed.

(14) ....Accusing one of not giving a CFR...when they actually did.., then when acknowledging receiving them, with full back up and links, respond with memes of a fish to avoid defending a position your are married to, and too weak to accept you might be mistaken or the is merit to the opposing argument.

Classic doc, again I would be embarrased.

I love how often my Republican friends and family always say this, about any Democratic Party candidate. Because, we saw how the economy turned into a dumpster fire for 8 years after Obama was elected, and the stock market didn’t rise above 9000. Not until January 20, 2017, apparently.
