since I as an European aren’t affected that much by it.

Quite often, yes. I’m very extroverted, and have an exhaustingly large network of friends. I get invited to things by people I’m not that close with because I’m fun and entertaining.

It can be very exhausting if I’m down in the dumps, but generally it’s great. I have a lot of people in life that care for me and I give back to them how I can.

Im looking for news that affirms reality.

You…affirm your reality…by looking forr news…that does so?

With the intent and purpose of rational thought, it’s supposed to be the other way around.. In by doing this, it is the premise of “fact checking” and the antithesis of misinformation.

That’s how reality, by definition, works. A statement is made. We look to confirm it. It is real if confirmed. You don’t look for statements to confirm a hypothesis and say, “Well, that’s my reality.”

What you just said is no different to stating that you look for Google results that back up what you want to hear…

Are you trying to prove my point for me?

Trump’s public record words and actions already left no doubt that he’s molested children. This writer’s credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump’s words, actions, associates attitude.

That’s unrelated to anything I’ve said and I don’t know why you thought I’d want to hear it.

When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it’s unreasonable to argue that we can’t assume it’s a duck.

That’s an unrelated example of abductive reasoning. Again, I don’t know why you picked me to share that with. If it bears any relation to what I’ve said, it’s irony in that by saying it, you’re proving my point further.

They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.

It’s undemocratic! What is this, some sort of a republic? One founded on freedoms? spits

The king will hear about this…

Why, thank you!

You’re pretty special yourself! 🌟

Love this community.

What you’re after is news pieces that confirm your position. Dangerous.

then it becomes a completely different scenario.

No. No it does not.

At the end of the day…

A guy is saying a dead guy did a thing that makes another guy look bad, right before a big event involving that other guy.

Literally, this is “Trust me, bro.”

Be it Trump, Elmo, or a box of Skittles, this preface does not change. Acknowledge that first, then you can go start conversations about Trump molestations as much as you like.

Don’t be like a red hatter and get caught in echo chambers.

Not that I support the guy at all, but you lot really need to stop saying “this is definite” and “it is fact” every time there’s an allegation made about something you don’t like. Not just Trump; anything. Unless you are one, y’all need to save that kind of dumb shit for dumb people, even if you like what you’re hearing.

Take Trump out of it for a second. This is literally a scenario of…

"A guy says a dead guy did a thing that makes another guy look bad, right before a big event involving that other guy "

Could be true. Could be not true. It’s hardly the kind of information that should be landing a half-competent mind onto a decision.

No, it’s definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

Oh, please. I wouldn’t do that to my trash.

I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

Yeah, but you get to feel like you’re a democracy and you’re participating at least, right?

Literally just shows up as a headline for me. I’m wondering how it was calculated and if it’s also factoring globalisation shift where the US will lose out to other countries if it’s financially more viable to seek manufacturing or consumer markets elsewhere, losing foreign revenue, consumer income for expenditure, etc.

You’d be wrong to assume not every village is riddled with its own idiots. The social division isn’t there because of one side; it doesn’t work that way.

When you live in a camp, every other camp is extremist and a threat. It’s algorithm tribalism and everyone’s echo chamber is the right one.

TIL Americans spell cancelling with one L.

Ha. This limes up with a comment I made just a couple.minutes.ago…

I remember in 2016, it was pointed out that he very convincingly shared all the symptoms of pathological lying. This also connects with both the narcissistic and/or borderline personality disorders; which he also shares a lot of symptoms with, especially NPD.

I’m no doctor, but I feel like anyone can read into it and easily diagnose this one on his behalf. He frequently showcases first-rate examples and I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if a type of pseudologica phantastica based.around cult of personality was named after him.

To be fair, it’s a complicated topic. Some people see humour as a form of therapy or control over dark topics while others see it as a channel to project them. And both are true. Unfortunately many people lack the spark to discern the two and subsequently fall back on the behaviour they are familiar with; picking a side and setting up camp in it.

No, but of the left and right-facing, these are the most known. Especially with that specific simplicity.
