Now if only anyone could trust a single thing he said or believe this was true…

    I literally added a caption saying it was lies, or didn’t you see that. You’re the one shouting down anyone who doesn’t agree with you. I do not believe a word Trump says, I do not support him and I don’t agree with what is in the article. But reading and discussing what he does say is valid to the conversation. Only tolerating 3rd party discussion about what he said and avoiding the actual first party sources just makes people who agree with you smug and everyone else think you’re hiding something.

      Yeah, yeah, you put some fine print on your poison pill. How noble of you.

      That changes nothing other than admitting that you knew what you posted was a lie, yet posted it anyway. Once again: you didn’t post an article about Trump lying, you just posted the lie, spreading it further.

      And your straw man about “tolerating discussion” isn’t going to fly, either. People discuss all sorts of things and viewpoints in this community— posting fake news from sources known to be unreliable and biased isn’t tolerated.

      And continuing to call me names like “smug” just because you don’t like the consequences is, again, hypocritical. If you don’t like being criticized for posting lies as fact, then stop doing it.

        I posted a truthfully presented article about a statement made by a known liar and pointed out that he can’t be trusted. Meanwhile, you literally just called me a Trump supporter which just goes to show how ignorant you have become by aggressively applying blinders to your entire world view while attempting to do so to others. I am not, and have never been a Trump supporter. I am a conservative leaning moderate, Trump is neither conservative nor is he moderate; he has never been either of these things in his entire life so why would I support him. If you read anything other than curated and spoon fed takes that tell you only what you wanted to hear you might actually be able to articulate an argument to someone who disagrees with you.
