Fact Check this

[Philo Sofee]

Ding Dong the Bitch is dead, the stupid Bitch is dead!!!! Don't fact check this, spread the truth!!!! And don't worry if he tweets he ain't dead, that's fake news, a scam, a con artist. It CAN'T be Donald, he's now dead. Oh what a relief it is!!!!! Celebrate baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. E, the topic is not Biden. The topic is fact checking. Your initial claim just after the election was that Trump's base would start to desert him so he’d have to concede to keep his base. You’ve been 100% wrong. His base wants him to declare martial law and seize voting machines.

I’ve still got my on money placed on this bet ...

Mine too.

FACT CHECK ALERT!!!!!

Dr. Exiled claimed -

The idea was recently floated about declaring martial law and Trump immediately came out against it.

When Cam called him on it, his source for the claim was this tweet -https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... i-BB1c5APy

Does it support the claim Dr. Exiled made that Trump immediately came out against declaring martial law? Hell no. Trump isn't rejecting declaring martial law. He was denying it was discussed.

So, take your pick here. Either Dr. Exiled is bad at understanding the news or he lied.

END FACT CHECK ALERT!!!!!

Want to bet martial law will be declared? It won't be. This is more russia gate hyperventilation as the issue is what are the chances it will be declared. Next to none. If Trump is denying it was discussed or that he was considering it, what does that tell you? Do you think he is secretly planning on declaring martial law so he can fulfill your fantasy of the fascist dictator the fake left created? Of course everyone here will want to believe, desire to believe, believe that possibility equals probability, that Trump is going to declare it as that fits with their religious/political beliefs about the Trump boogeyman that was created immediately upon his election. Thank God Biden is here to save us from ...... russia ..... and deny the people the kind of stimulus other countries are getting, and to keep the wars going .....

I don't know why I bother posting here any more. It's pointless. Carry on assholes.

Non-sequitur to your claim Trump rejected the idea.

This is more russia gate hyperventilation as the issue is what are the chances it will be declared.

No it's not. The issue here is the sitting President of the United States even entertained the idea at all because he lost an election. That's exactly how authoritarians behave. THAT is the issue here.

Next to none. If Trump is denying it was discussed or that he was considering it, what does that tell you?

Given the evidence, that he's a liar since it was widely reported by people in the room.

Do you think he is secretly planning on declaring martial law so he can fulfill your fantasy of the fascist dictator the fake left created?

It doesn't matter what as to the his motivations. The fact it happened at all is evidence of the threat he presents to democracy.

Of course everyone here will want to believe, desire to believe, believe that possibility equals probability, that Trump is going to declare it as that fits with their religious/political beliefs about the Trump boogeyman that was created immediately upon his election.

Again, a sitting President behaving like a third world authoritarian is not a boogeyman. It's something most of us never imagined could happen yet here we are. That's a serious issue. But hey, here it comes...

Thank God Biden is here to save us from ...... russia ..... and deny the people the kind of stimulus other countries are getting, and to keep the wars going .....

Here's the real issue for you. You are so committed to this idea that the Democrats are evil to the point it gets lost that you also feel the same way about establishment Republicans is belief bedrock for you. It's so bad that when it becomes part of a discussion you can't be engaged in a rational way. It's just partisan bullshitting only the partisanship is establishment vs. anti-establishment.

I don't know why I bother posting here any more. It's pointless. Carry on assholes.

While I won't beg you to stay, you could try listening and engaging rather than just "posting here". Cuz, yeah, unless you get off on being a troll that is kinda pointless on a discussion board.

Good damned LORD. It's not that anyone thought it was seriously going to be implemented, it's that it was brought up or discussed by Trump or his circle in the first place. Tie that with Trump literally inquiring if he could use the National Guard to seize voting machines and you have the SecDef and a General releasing a joint statement that no, they're not going to do that. Meanwhile, before you get your panties in a bind, why don't you look at the reacdtion from his supporters in the comments section of his Twitter feed?

I suppose that was just an organic, natural, kind of anarchistic idea that percolated in right-wing circles?

It's getting to the point with you, Dr. Exiled, that unless a politician is wearing a body cam and unless he or she live streams and records their every action and phone call for review, we can't trust anything that shows the Republicans' true colors. That's not how things work, bro. Reporting depends on sources and piecing together a damned narrative that gets as close to the events that transpired as possible. Instead, you set impossible standards for the NYT or other reputable media outlets and give total and unapologetic credence to a literal criminal syndicate.

Go ahead and stamp your foot and pout, but you're way, way off in right field with this approach.

I don’t think he’s a Trump supporter. I think he’s a Berner .

Really? He seems to really give the GOP a lot of leeway especially when it comes to the things they say and do, while having a high bar for people on the Left. If that’s the case then... I guess I read him wrong. I guess.

Speaking of the importance to fact check something before publishing or broadcasting a segment, Fox News was punk’d hard core parkour:

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/maria-barti ... ork-giant/

“We have an important correction to make. It appears we have been punk’d. Earlier in the program I interviewed someone claiming to be the CEO of Smithfield Foods, Dennis Organ. We’ve since learned that that was not Dennis Organ, but an imposter making false claims about the company. He is someone who has absolutely no relation to Smithfield Foods, we want to apologize to Dennis Organ, Smithfield Foods, and to our audience for making this mistake. We will of course be more vigilant.”

If only they cared to be more vigilant during the segments where they pushed dozens of voter fraud conspiracy theories, and equally diligent about airing retractions when said theories were shown to be erroneous or misleading.

Not that their viewership cared about such things...

* Inb4 Dr. Exiled chimes in that we never had proof that any of these voter fraud theories were wrong because we didn’t have anyone on a video feed admitting to their duplicities. *
