Civil Discourse

[MichiganSpinDoctor]

Do you remember when after you agreed with all the reasons given by experts that global warming is caused by burning fossil fuel you just said you didn't believe it but couldn't give a reason for rejecting it or a better explanation?

I remember that is how you summarized our conversation.

I remember that is how you summarized our conversation.

Saying you believe without any better explanation doesn't fit the meaning behind the word discourse.

dis·course
verb
disˈkôrs/

1. speak or write authoritatively about a topic

This thread is for civil discourse. What you do is appropriate for a thread called "repeating right wing propaganda and lies".

Why should anybody engage in civil discourse with an ignoramus who simply repeats right wing propaganda?

I say: Trump kept all these promises.

Buck&company says: Racist! Racist! Ignorant! Ignorant!

Anyone can see how silly yall are.

There were good people on both sides of the riots. Very fine people.

Trump campaign promises kept:

Economic growth
Enforced immigration laws
Got out of TPP and currently renegotiating NAFTA
Built up military
Crushed ISIS
Slashed regulations
Increased energy production
Repealed the individual mandate
Reformed the VA, including firing the 500 worst managers.
Appointed a constitutionalist originalist justice

I think Trump is doing a fantastic job.

I hate to quibble with your list but is it accurate? Do you have a source for the part about 500 managers. Because if you're talking about these people:

VA has fired 500 employees since Trump took office, report shows
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/07/20/va-has-fired-500-employees-since-trump-took-office-report-shows.html

they weren't managers, and many were fired by the previous administration.

As to your immigration law point, the promise was to deport everyone. "We have at least 11 million people in this country that came in illegally," he continued. "They will go out." It doesn't really seem fair to call this mission accomplished yet, does it?

As to NAFTA, is kicking out Canada, and terminating the entire agreement, really a negotiation? Seems disingenuous to include it as an accomplishment but to each their own I guess.

It doesn't have to be true for him to believe it. Spinney says so himself.

The 500 fired managers stat, I just got from a campaign website and I admit, I did not fact check it. Thank you for the correction.

On the immigration question, this is an example of trumps supporters taking him seriously, but not literally. His detractors take him literally, but not seriously.

The deal with Mexico is supposed to include Canada soon, I heard yesterday. Definitely negotiating. Yeah, more of a potential accomplishment I suppose.

You said that. I didn't say that.

 

[Fogdog]

You said that. I didn't say that.

you most certainly did. It's all documented in a conversation we had on 8/30/18. Look it up if you don't remember.

Why would anybody attempt discourse with an ignoramus like you who just believes without knowing why?

We are not engaging in discourse right now either.

Please be civil.

You enjoy being humiliated don’t you?

translation: I just believe what right wingers say, I don't fact check or care what the facts are.

I'm not prideful, so I am difficult to humiliate. You like to humiliate people though, don't you?

I just state facts and that is often humiliating for trump cultists who have insulated their fragile egos from reality with a wall of alternative facts

 

[MichiganSpinDoctor]

I predict that Trump gets re-elected by the biggest margin in history. Any thoughts on that?

I predict you’ll believe that no matter how badly he loses

People hate trump, and his cult following of racist liars like you
