MAGAThread XV: Because Another

[Ifreann]

Take. A. Chill. Pill. Duhon.

Nah, he's right. Trump is promoting an attitude of federal law being more of a suggestion when it comes to his allies and supporters, and that's pretty fucking bad.

[Tinhampton]

In which case, then...

In the post I attempted to poke fun at - with unsurprisingly little success - you list four predicates about Chinese finances (if they can all be so broadly categorised):

• The Democratic Party is being paid off by Beijing.
• These "donations" from PR China are intended to disrupt and weaken the USA and its administration.
• Beijing is also paying off Mexican cartels.
• These cartels are attempting to place the USA into a state of heightened crime rate and bankruptcy.

Please provide PROOF AND SOURCES for each of these four assertations. If you cannot do so, then I will not continue this little discussion.

Please re-read the following before you denounce me as a Trump-hating commie bastard:

Beijing is not paying Mexicangangs- they are colluding through non financial means.

OK, so you claim that that is the case. We now have three core predicates - proposed by yourself, not by I - that can be checked against empirical data:

• Beijing is paying off the Democratic Party.
• These "donations" are intended to disrupt and weaken the USA and its government.
• Beijing is also working with Mexican cartels to "destroy" the USA through increased crime rate and debt.

Can you find me proof for any one of those three predicates? I've put them in not-quite-extra-large font so that you know what you're meant to be looking for!

These three predicates stem from the claim that "Trump isn't colluding, but Dems are." We know for a fact that Trump was effectively exonerated by Mueller, therefore you have asserted three predicates involving Democrat collusion with PR China. Mueller could back up his assertations (or lack thereof); I await your effort at doing the same.

"The attack on science is underway throughout the government. In the most recent example, the White House-appointed director of the United States Geological Survey, James Reilly, a former astronaut and petroleum geologist, has ordered that scientific assessments produced by that office use only computer-generated climate models that project the impact of climate change through 2040, rather than through the end of the century, as had been done previously. Scientists say that would give a misleading picture because the biggest effects of current emissions will be felt after 2040. Models show that the planet will most likely warm at about the same rate through about 2050. From that point until the end of the century, however, the rate of warming differs significantly with an increase or decrease in carbon emissions."

Could the Trump administration get anymore stupid?

Why did you say that? You know they'll read that as a dare.

Yes, of course they can get more stupid. Why would you ask such a foreshadowy question?!

[The Black Forrest]

It shouldn't be. Just like people denying the earth is round, they are willfully ignoring the truth.

Lots of things shouldn't be. But alas, here we are.

Never understood the celebration of being ignorant.

At least he's being consistent for one, what with that ridiculous video the White House published about violent video games causing school shootings.

It's all merely a step on the long journey to Idiocracy.

They still banging that stupid ass drum? FFS

The only time they're gonna stop banging that drum is when video games don't exist anymore.

Then they'll blame board games and role playing games.
