Yeah, he's a regular Sacha Baron Cohen, ain't he.

Ah well with a bit of luck the mods will get bored with all this Yank sectarian political bollocks and have done with the lot of you. As you should be fighting your fights on a politics forum.henry quirk wrote:

If Clinton tried on what Trump had done of course I would have been just as offput. Tyrannical behaviour is ideally not to be tolerated, no matter who the perpetrator. Whatever happens now, the seeds of tyranny have been planted with the effective removal of standards regarding presidential financial transparency and conflicts of interest.
Your demands ought to be universal, and you ought to apply to all, not at all only to selected ones, who YOU think ought to be applied to.
Yet you clearly indicated that your demands be applied based on behaviour.
This makes my opinion that you are hypocritical, into a fact.
"You can believe what you like, -1-. Feel free to pronounce me a hypocrite or whatever you like based on your imaginings" my belief you have proved to be a fact... my imaginings you have solidified to be true by your clarifying your position.

“The stories you heard about the 12 Russians yesterday took place during the Obama Administration, not the Trump Administration. Why didn’t they do something about it, especially when it was reported that President Obama was informed by the FBI in September, before the Election?”
- POTUS Trump
Mr. President, you’re not the only free-thinker to think that. Some even wonder how the self-described communist Van Jones managed to get the ear of that president.
(Aint’ it something when it all converges to a point, in the end?)
This here clip keeps us rabble entertained.

Maybe some other folks have some philosophy that relates to entertaining stories about their culture and government? All the better if it's unfolding in real time. Entertainment is fun, and fun is effective for learning, if that's your intent.

It’s a downright shame that you don’t indulge in these videos, because you would appreciate the brevity of this Wisconsin country-boy Sensenbrenner, at least the breveity after he makes his necessary introduction.

Re: Exposing Liberal Hypocrisy and Conservative Close-Mindedness
It's no shame at all to not get swept up in the kind of noise that perpetuates the limited thinking that serves you for whatever reasons. If you were more balanced and honest with your assessments, that might be worth indulging in.
Re: Exposing Liberal Hypocrisy and Conservative Close-Mindedness
Why else do you think we have been given these gifts, but to use them?

For my own reasons I'll take that as an honest assessment, and in return I offer the honest assessment that you are always so vague. You should give that some thought and not fire from the hip.
That means to carry the thought through time. As your mood changes and the "you" of first response changes, the assessment remains the same.
For full understanding make the assessment an arbitrary absolute without believing in it, and because you thus accept it completely for the arbitrary purposes of understanding, once that view allows understanding then you can accept or reject, and rationally explain why if in a 'splainin mood.
Simple, yes?

Re: Exposing Liberal Hypocrisy and Conservative Close-Mindedness
Perhaps it appears that way to you because you think there are absolute single polarized answers for everything. I don't. I can often see truth and/or value on all sides. What I focus on is how people represent things. That tells me more than whatever story they are telling.
You don't seem to recognize the depth and "time" (i.e. experience) involved in my responses. That's your short-coming, not mine. You WANT to see me as someone who shoots from the hip, and isn't as thorough and solid as you.

No, it is not hypocritical by wanting at least some some semblance or pretence of probity in governance.-1- wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:52 am"If Clinton tried on what Trump had done of course I would have been just as offput.

There is no need for you to incoherently babble against me in what looks like a desperate attempt to justify the idiotic comments you made earlier. Why not just admit that you stuffed up before and move on?

Greta, you are simply insulting me over and over and over, and demand without presenting reasonable arguments that I capitulate to your arguments.Greta wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 11:49 pm No, it is not hypocritical by wanting at least some some semblance or pretence of probity in governance.

I expected more of a site moderator. Much more.
For my exit statement from this thread: I won't take the blame for your not seeing reason in my posts.

I read that the indictments of the Russians state no evidence, only unsupported conclusions.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 6:39 pmOr that the current Prez is besty friends with a lieutenant colonel of the KGB?Walker wrote:...

Sounds familiar.
Rationally:
It's political theater that the Left hopes will stick with repetition.
That, and timing the release with Trump’s Russian visit, sounds like more resistance from beauracratic fiefdoms to destabilize the constitutionally-elected executive branch.
Re: Exposing Liberal Hypocrisy and Conservative Close-Mindedness
he is correct. CNN is moderate.
why? their journalism is shit - i.e. poor.
BTW MSNBC is the proper comparison to Faux news for the left equivalent.
-both provda crap, not worth my time to view.
as for CNN - they were AOL for fk sake! - after Turner tossed them - why view them? they are middle-moderate, but crap quality journalism.
