You don't have to be in a relationship or be an abuser to gaslight. I'm not a victim of your gaslighting because I can and will call B.S. on it when you do it.

To suggest that Trump's quote should be discounted because CNN made mistakes on other stories is complete nonsense.

You're not throwing any light on the story. You're blowing smoke.

He has an interesting criteria. By his measure, a station like Fox could never be trusted to report anything truthfully, given the sheer number of gaffes and ‘misreporting’ incidents.

And with his own record of disinformation, neither could Binger be considered as an accurate source.
That's exactly what I mean by his "Jessie Smollet" test. He uses it to categorically dismiss news sources he doesn't like while failing to apply it to sources that say things he agrees with.

Applying your very own test to you isn't whatabout anything. It's a demonstration that your test is silly.

And … Insert any source. Lol.

Folks that pretend to be above all the propaganda and claim that nothing can be be believed are the first to fall for whatever they want to be true.

You’re always in it. Like air. But that doesn’t make it impossible to differentiate any facts from every fiction.

The Russian national anthem or the Stone's Sympathy for the Devil?
No, I'm not Russian. Nobody I know is siding with Russia. That's your leftist attempt to spin his fraudulency's disastrous first year largely of his own making.

It's great that you don't exclude the underdog when the underdog is, per you, just a communist. But I have to point something out. The same way that your leading lights; Alex Jones, for example, frame their struggle with the "left" is the the say way that Putin is framing his struggle with Ukraine. The Ukraine is "declaring war" against Russia in exactly the same way that the American "left" is declaring civil war on right-wingers. So just remember, on that day when you really do take up that rifle, you're going to wake up in a daze, just like a Russian soldier, when your realize you're the one marching into somebody else's city and it's the guy on the other side of the community's gated entrance who is fighting for his home against a brainwashed tool.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.
