that's not a very competent argument, let alone a competent thought.


So then you admit to wasting a competent argument then?

Or do you not know how english works?

Petty argument anyway, detracting from the fact that the President is a treasonous thug that does nothing to show respect for the American People.


Here is a very interesting article presenting the dangers with such an important figure getting away with ruthless and countless lies:

The distressing reality is that our sense of truth is far more fragile than we would like to think it is—especially in the political arena, and especially when that sense of truth is twisted by a figure in power. As the 19th-century Scottish philosopher Alexander Bain put it, “The great master fallacy of the human mind is believing too much.” False beliefs, once established, are incredibly tricky to correct. A leader who lies constantly creates a new landscape, and a citizenry whose sense of reality may end up swaying far more than they think possible. It’s little wonder that authoritarian regimes with sophisticated propaganda operations can warp the worldviews of entire populations. “You are annihilated, exhausted, you can’t control yourself or remember what you said two minutes before. You feel that all is lost,” as one man who had been subject to Mao Zedong’s “reeducation” campaign in China put it to the psychiatrist Robert Lifton. “You accept anything he says.”

"I don’t think — I mean, I’ve read horror stories. It’s a 15-year process. Okay? Assuming you wanted to do it quickly, I don’t believe that. I think whoever wrote that is wrong. But there will be a point at which, when you’re 20 percent through, you can’t go back.

I had an uncle who was a great professor for, I believe, 40 years at MIT. And I used to discuss nuclear with him all the time. He was a great expert. He was a great, brilliant genius. Dr. John Trump at MIT. I think he was there 40 years, I was told. In fact, the head of MIT sent me a book on my uncle. But we used to talk about nuclear. You’re talking about a very complex subject. It’s not just like, “Oh, gee. Let’s get rid of the nukes.” It takes a period of time.

But the main period of time that I’m talking is that first period, when you hit a certain point you can’t go back. It’s very hard to go back."

Blind useless American voters carry a very blatant and obvious level of cringe so large that the rest of the world is fucking laughing at you, murdering journalists that represent one of the oldest institutions in America without care, Adding obnoxious Tariffs and leaving thousands of Americans jobless without any care.

How your 'Leader' embarasses everything you are meant to stand for everyday is beyond cringe.

March 29: Trump lies that Wisconsin’s effective unemployment rate is 20%, saying, ""What? Is it 20 percent? Effective or regular? I mean just -- effective unemployment rate, 20 percent. Hey, this is out of the big book." According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, The U-3 official unemployment rate in Wisconsin was 4.6 percent in 2015; Wisconsin’s U-6 rate for 2015 was 8.3 percent.

not really, my arguments have been more inconsequential than either competent or incompetent. but they for sure haven't been incompetent. i know how the english language works just fine, i dont even have to resort to posting dictionary definitions to make my "points". i'd consider that treason to reason.

I figured leaving the definition and clear facts out in the open would avoid any confusion.

Who woulda thought transparency is an effective method to clarity.
