For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Here's what I don't get...
Looking through Kids posts, he had cites to Breitbart, The Federalist, some bloggers, etc.
But if you read those cites, you will see that they rely on mainstream news reports or interpretive assessments of mainstream news, such as CNN, the NYT, WaPo, etc. Or they depend on the validity of the very government offices which they claim are lying (I have this one very long blog post in mind where the guy says the FBI is lying based his belief in the FBI's credibility in supplying *him* with information and then correlating that to FBI rules and procedures.)
So the cites Kid is using are, in the end, based on the very same "Fake News" sources he is decrying in this thread.
My question: Kid, did you not see this? How can you not? And if you did see it, did you think we were so stupid we wouldn't?
Cites:
Here is a Federalist article Kid posted which uses as its base information from WaPo: http://thefederalist.com/2018/05/15/...veiling-trump/
RealClearPolitics citing James Comey: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...a_warrant.html
Circa relying on the FBI to show the FBI is lying about McCabe: https://www.circa.com/story/2017/06/...-investigation
And on and on and on.Last edited by JohnT; August 6, 2018, 21:01.

Don't think too hard on it, if you were to figure it out, your head would explode, or implode, or possibly implode then explode.

Take the original Buzzfeed article on the dossier. It's true news, but it's fake. Buzzfeed even discredited the dossier, but they knew that they could start a bunch of speculation about it and create a frenzy.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

No. The NYT and WaPo is reporting on all of this and we are getting true news from their reports, because people are leaking to them. But it's also fake news.
1. You're a troll, a person driven by anger or driven by a need to make other people angry (or, at its most innocuous form, a need to make people notice you). This is indicative of a mental health disorder manifested by problems in your personality.
or...
2. You actually think the above made sense, that WaPo (for example) reports truth and lies in the same sentence. At best, you are claiming that they are honestly (and repeatedly) reporting a lie fed to them. At worst, you are claiming... something. For 3,000 posts. This, too, is indicative of a mental health disorder, but one manifested by problems in your cognitive ability.
Either way, nobody is doing you a favor by responding to you. In fact, the opposite: our opposition reinforces this instability, making it more difficult for you to regain mental health.
So, I'm out. I am glad to argue these topics, but I cannot in good conscience do so when it is very, very likely I am harming someone disabled and, in fact, helping to perpetuate, if not worsen, that disability.
Ciao.
