MSN ... Mickey Mouse Microsoft/NBC leftwing fake news. As unreliable as "Windows".

Full of security holes, requiring repeated time-and-space-consuming corrections.

"poisoning the well"

I should probably just do this when y'all respond to any and all criticism of Trump with fallacies of argument. Not sure I have that kind of spare time, though...given the sheer volume of cases. ;P

No ... comparing similarly unreliable poducts from the same shallow well.

The truth is none of us know for sure what is "really" going on until well after the fact. I'm not talking about an attack somewhere and a bomb dropped elsewhere in tit-for-tat retaliation. I'm talking about a planned series of tactical steps to achieve a long-term strategy, mission and goal.

I'm smart enough to realize that.

I tend to put more faith in successful entrepreneurs than in community organizers, 50-year career politicians and yellow school bus admirers.

I don't sit around on the edge of my chair waiting for the next scrap.

And I don't have any trust in the fake news offered here by a bunch of chronic dissident sockpuppets like che, otto, kr, lucy and chico.

I am comfortable with the long-term strategy and trend pursued by the present administration. Close the border and deport as many violators as can be rounded up. Even Obama deported over 3 million illegals. Make NATO pay their fair share. Stop Iran's nuclear program and state-sponsored terrorism and aggression. Energy dominance. Deterrence of China takeover of Taiwan and elsewhere. Keeping Russia under his thumb. Tyring to control inflation, and admittedly, tariffs don't seem to be the best way. Fostering investment and GDP.

I respect your opinion on all matters, and our differences on certain issues. I wonder why either of us are on this board. There are two other more open and civilized boards ... key points: OPEN and CIVILIZED. I welcome respectful newcomers to my board. The problem is they are few and far between. The minute I let one of the houligans from this board post on white, we get a barrage of "GFYs" and the like.

My favorites are our discussions on time and space ... things that "matter". See what I did.

Sure: trying to stay genuinely informed takes a lot of work.

But most mainstream sources' real problem isn't that their reports are "fake." It's that they're puddle-shallow. Crafted for the short attention span crowd. Incomplete pictures when depth of information (and broader context) is important. It's frustrating, if solvable - when the matter is of sufficient import and/or interest to warrant real research. Otherwise it doesn't matter...which makes it antimatter, right? (swidt?)

I'm not sure why we're here, either. I had high(ish) hopes, I guess, as I'm sure did KenC. I don't think it'll be around all that much longer.

I'd respond to you, but...

...you don't open my posts because you can't defend your position, so you just ignore conflicting views.

You're inferior in just about every metric to apriori.

Which isn't saying much as she spent nearly 2 decades as Mondo's wingman. That demonstrates extremely poor judgement.

Damn fool, you are such a badass. She just has pity for your fat ugly dumb ass. It's really simple, she IGNORES THE IGNORANT! That would be Y O U

And YOURS as well.

"9/11 happened 1 week after his appointment as FBI Director."

"So an operation months (if not years) in the planning happened within a week of a new FBI director taking office. That does indeed speak for itself...but I don't think it's saying what you're implying it does."

Speaking of arrogant, what up MONGO?

Not to mention it is an Opinion Piece by a rabid Leftist...

...who also wants a weak and spineless USA and is corroborated by more opinions.

Any wonder why "Otto" drools all over him?

Like you and "Otto" have done?

Does this mean you finally moved out of your Mommies basement?

Another case of Al-Taqiyya...

We have all seen how much you'd prefer a weak and spineless USA.

He will definitely get a Nobel peace prize now

Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Nobama received a Nobel peace prize for doing nothing.
