That's not what I said.

2019-10-07 13:00:14 UTC  

I don't think my sources are guaranteed to always be correct nor do I think this about myself. I said I that I go for middle ground sources who have evidence.

2019-10-07 13:01:35 UTC  

You have no way of knowing what and what evidence is valid and what isn't... Beyond the news source. You don't know if that's all the evidence or even if it's being characterized in the right way.

The only thing you can do without the news it's listen to Trump's tweets and judge those on their merits.

2019-10-07 13:01:59 UTC  

If you haven't noticed Sophie has treated her own sources like gospel

2019-10-07 13:02:11 UTC  

I don't know who Sophie is

2019-10-07 13:02:49 UTC  

Sophiesticated. And also you do bring up a good point, but Trump's tweets are like

2019-10-07 13:03:09 UTC  

The last thing I would look at for evidence. He talks out of his ass so much

2019-10-07 13:04:58 UTC  

This is a big reason I'm so opposed to Trump. Democracy does not work (. End of story) without a semi trusted news media.

2019-10-07 13:05:50 UTC  

Trump's main line is trust me and nothing else you hear that goes against me

2019-10-07 13:07:34 UTC  

I agree, but I think the problem also lies in the overtly partisan media outlets. Blame can be assigned to both.

2019-10-07 13:07:58 UTC  

I fucking hate the buzzword "fake news" though

2019-10-07 13:10:52 UTC  

And "overly partisan" also applies to the right wing outlets

2019-10-07 13:22:48 UTC  

@Cobra Commander first of all, there was a quid pro quo. Adam Schiff did not lie, and that you think he did shows how blindly you regurgitate talking points. I don’t know what they say on fox, but the reporting has been very accurate and consistent.

2019-10-07 13:23:34 UTC  

@Cobra Commander but let’s tackle one thing at a time- please quote what you believe Adam Schiff lied about

2019-10-07 13:23:55 UTC  

Then we’ll get into what you think Clinton did in Ukraine. It’s important to tackle these conspiracy theories you’re pushing

2019-10-07 13:25:59 UTC  

Tag me again and I'm blocking you

2019-10-07 13:26:23 UTC  

Lol calm down and answer the question

2019-10-07 13:26:26 UTC  

I will talk later

2019-10-07 13:26:51 UTC  

I tagged you twice. Calm the fuck down

2019-10-07 13:27:03 UTC  

I already told you to not tag me and you did it twice. This is against server rules you know?

2019-10-07 13:27:23 UTC  

What’s against the server rules? When did you tell me not to tag you

2019-10-07 13:30:20 UTC  

It was twice, I’m not spam tagging you. Calm the fuck down. If you feel upset you can just ask that I not tag you like a normal human being

2019-10-07 13:30:22 UTC  

"also do not @ me please"- 8:28 am

2019-10-07 13:30:27 UTC  

Or block me, I don’t give a fuck

2019-10-07 13:30:55 UTC  

I didn’t read that

2019-10-07 13:31:35 UTC  

Maybe do a local server mute if you don’t want push alerts or whatever you get

2019-10-07 13:31:48 UTC  

Tagging is a very normal thing that happens all the time. You need to get over it.

2019-10-07 13:32:01 UTC  

Now answer the question- what do you think Schiff lied about?

2019-10-07 13:32:12 UTC  

I said I will talk later

2019-10-07 13:32:40 UTC  

Yup, I’ll be waiting for your GOP talking points

2019-10-07 13:33:37 UTC  

Since we all know the answer, Schiff of course did not lie about anything.

2019-10-07 13:34:03 UTC  

Schiff said he hadnt talked to whistle blower in advance... turned out his staff had.

2019-10-07 13:34:18 UTC  

What he did was use a tone to draw a parallel between a mobster shakedown and what trump did

2019-10-07 13:34:28 UTC  

@pennypal ok lets nip this in the bud

2019-10-07 13:35:13 UTC  

What happened was the whistleblower went to his boss and said this thing happened, and his boss didn’t do anything about it

2019-10-07 13:35:24 UTC  

I Know

2019-10-07 13:35:32 UTC  

So the whistleblower went to Schiff’s team and said hey, I have a complaint under this statute

2019-10-07 13:35:46 UTC  

He never discussed the complaint with Schiff or his team

2019-10-07 13:35:51 UTC  

Or rather never discussed the content

2019-10-07 13:36:08 UTC  

I do know this. He admitted it was a poor choice of words on his part

2019-10-07 13:36:25 UTC  

He asked Schiff’s team because Schiff is the head of the intel committee
