PROVEN to be biased - hell, the owner himself has admitted to being biased. Forgive me if I don't run to that site.

With that aside, post actual lies made by Trump, that will be costing American lives, and I'm happy to debate/discuss that lie.

Are you talking about this guy?

I can't quite make it out, but who is that life size cardboard cut out behind Adair? One of his fact checkers? A motivational inspiration to achieve greatness?

I guess we should investigate Politifact a bit before we take their word as gospel. I know, Petey, we'll be in imminent danger of breaching our respective bubbles but it's a risk we'll have to take :

So, Petey, which of Trump's Lies™ have the most danger of killing people?

Watch the video. I would take Pence over Trump any day of the week as president.

Feel free to prove anything I post to be wrong.

In this case, you have an owner who ADMITTED he is biased. That calls into question EVERYTHING on that site. And MANY times we have done just that one this site. Would you like me to waste my time and post 5 things that are just 100% incorrect? Would that even accomplish a single thing if I did just that?

The page I linked to is full of quotes. Are you saying the quotes are false?

The author of that video didn't speculate on this board that Trump's Lies™ would kill people.

That would not be in your best interest. You want a real anti gay president?

Not at all. I'll even concede that they are accurate, if YOU say they are. I'll give ya the benefit in this one...

but the entire site is called into question, IMO, when you find SO many incorrect things over the years, and you read the owner admitting he is biased.

If I link to an opinion piece you'll have a point.

They have the Keystone pipeline and demanding it be only American steel, as a lie. --- the issue is that they ALREADY had imported steel on site already. To toss it in the local junkyard would have been kinda retarded. So of course they were going to use already purchased steel. This hardly in any way means he lied about using American steel (purchasing) going forward. A bit of a "lean", if you ask me.

They nailed him because he referred to issues in Sweden. They claimed nothing happened. Turns out things did, from the lovely refugees.

CNN DID cut off Sanders when he referred to them as fake news. Go to Youtube and type in "sanders cnn cut off fake news". There are tons of videos PROVING this one true.

I don't want to keep researching this. Point is, they are wrong TONS of the time.

The ones where the President withdraws our troops from Iraq and leaves a vacuum for ISIS to rape and destroy and murder... Oh wait ..... That was the porch money President.

If folks keep on with 'sources' as a debate, I'll just close the thread.

Why have some posts been moved to the cage? Isn't the entire conversation relevant to the discussion?

Is this a fake thread? This entire series of exchanges is too absurd to be real.
Obviously this is merely an example of NT's off the grid humor. :rolleyes:

Are you a fake person? Everything you've posted lately is just partisan accusations based on nothing. We all consider everything you post off the grid WANNABE humor.

Get some actual provable facts and get back to us.
