Funny how certain people cannot handle a debate...

Debate is pretty simple concept that certain people just don't understand. You have an issue. You take different sides of the issue. You present your arguments, your logical conclusions based on those arguments. You might present facts, data, or relevant information. You question the other person's conclusions with logical arguments.

But this only works when both Parties are willing to present an actual argument.

When it comes to arguments, most political on-line debates are simply rhetoric, personal ad hominen attacks, logical fallacies, pushed to the edge by cognitive dissonance, bias confirmation, and partisan prejudice.

In the case of someone like Roger, you give him multiple chances to answer the same questions, and every time he ignores them and decides to retort with childish insults and irrelevant subject changes. Someone like Roger doesn't want to answer questions, because he has to think. Rather, he will simply repeat the same statement again, and again, and again, and again, growing more and more frustrated as to why this debate style doesn't work.

It's crystal clear that Donald Trump is the trigger that has pushed thousands and thousands of Americans to the brink of insanity. Someday, psychologists will look back in awe at the power one man has to drive so many others completely crazy.

Most of us are in control of our own lives, and political debate is just something we do in our spare time (or in my case on a holiday weekend when I am tied to my desk because I am on-call during a major new software release). But for others, things will overwhelm them. They can only find comfort in those who agrees with them, and find overwhelming frustration with those who do not.

I feel sorry for these people who get so angry that they stomp off like children who want to take their ball and go home. They must have serious problems in their life for them to get so emotionally attached to this sort of thing that they take flight every time they start losing.

People all over the world seem to prefer a strongman or a dictator. Which the last time that was this universally popular was in the 1920's and we know how that ended.

This is the biggest mistake in the history of the United States of America and for which it stands.

We the people, are being threatened.

Ex-GOP Lawmaker Calls for Trump’s Impeachment
May 25, 2019 at 6:01 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 66 Comments

Former Rep. Tom Coleman (R-MO) called for the impeachment of President Trump, who he said is an “illegitimate president,” CNN reports.

Said Coleman: “I’m calling for impeachment now because the Mueller report is out, and in it special counsel Robert Mueller describes 10 obstruction of justice charges that he could not bring because of a Department of Justice rule and regulation that says you can’t indict a sitting president — that’s (reason) number one.”

He added: “Number two, I believe this is an illegitimate President because he welcomed help and influence from the Russians in his campaign. For example, his campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with a Russian intelligence asset in New York and shared with him their polling information and a strategy on how to win the Midwestern states.”

Judge Blocks Trump’s Border-Wall Plans

“A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from moving forward on construction projects for a wall along the southern U.S. border with funds that Congress had not approved, the first ruling on the hot-button issue,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam in Oakland said President Trump’s plans to divert federal money to build a border wall, absent appropriations from Congress, exceeded the executive’s authority.”

Way back in 2017, the WashPo was happy to report classified information illegally leaked by Obama loyalists as long as it hurt the president and his people.

Now, the Post is all sad that Barr might disclose classified info to exonerate the president


And put (I'll say it) Obama and his top staff in jail

Brennan and other ex-CIA officials fume about declassification order, but ignore that gov't officials have already leaked a ton of source/method information that was considered negative for Trump.

@ChuckRossDC

Some stories that disclosed very sensitive details:
-Putin directed attacks on election
-FISA on Carter Page
-Downer tip sparked probe
-Stefan Halper was FBI informant
-Azra Turk is gov't investigator
-CIA has a male Kremlin asset close to Putin

Leaks can come from a variety of places. But these leaks all pushed the narrative in one direction (an anti-Trump direction). Many of the articles were sourced to current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials.

Bottom line -- Trump and Republicans have pushed for declassification of stuff on Steele dossier and Carter Page FISA. The Brennans of the world are now shifting goalposts to claim that declass will be of intel on CIA's Kremlin assets.

To put a finer point on it -- the people fuming about declassification out of fear of source disclosure or cherry picking of intel were silent abt the leaks listed above.


doesn't take a genius to figure what is going on.

MEDIA LAST WEEK: Barr is redacting & hiding classified info in the Mueller report. He’s even hiding Grand Jury material. Release everything or it’s a cover up!

MEDIA THIS WEEK: Barr is going to expose deeply burrowed CIA Kremlin agents on purpose because he hates America

I'm wondering who Roger thinks he's fooling by hiding behind an anonymous I'd.

His characteristic hysterical TDS will always give him away.
