I can't. The videos exist, but youtube's algorithm manipulates search results in politics now. I'll have to sift through 10-20 pages of horse shit before getting to results I'm looking for. It is a cancer. You'll just have to take me at my word.
If there were loads of pro-Trump. Ideas showing him embracing criticism and making cogent arguments Russia would have those at the top of the search bars.

Nobody's minds will change no matter what happens. Somebody change the name of this board to "I Am Right & You Are Wrong".
Oh, stop being a pussy snowflake. I've even changed my mind on some issues because you, Head, or Foo would set me straight. I was known as a flip flopper. Remember? I still love ya bro, no matter how much we argue in these political threads. Like Reign told me a long time ago, the political disagreements roll off my back. I argue with Foo more than anyone. But he's always reached out to me, and he's a good guy. Without discussions and disagreement, we will never learn. Keep doing what you do.
Lol. JMac with the win!
For the record, I do see your point, we haven’t got enough fresh takes in here to really matter. But at the same time this is the only forum I have to even make comments like I do. Can’t use Facebook or my twitter account to discuss politics. So that’s why I like it.
I still think she is sexy af. Anyway, I'm not a fan of her politics. But I don't think she is stupid at all, like some portray her to be. This is golden. A slam dunk on her part.

I think she's actually stupid, just my opinion. And what's the point of this are we trying to ban lying on social media? Well that will eliminate 99.9% of all politicians and media networks from ever posting online. What % of social media is factual truth?

Yes, Facebook is a media company that transmits information. That should be rigorous and checked.

I don't think ANY publications meet a rigorous standard or even a relaxed standard of fact checking. This is the system we all have helped create by watching and accepting decades of journalistic integrity erosion.

the world is better off with one less terrorist leader, under trump. the world was better off with one less terrorist leader, under obama as well. we should (or should have) give credit in both cases.
and as like with bin laden being killed or this guy being killed, it doesn't mean that a new threat won't pop up to fill this absence. but again, we're better off with one less terrorist leader, regardless of what's to come.

Not really. There’s a ton of conflicting accounts at the minute. The one thing nobody thinks really happened is that a guy who denotated his own suicide vest in a compound would be approached close enough for any of that to be verifiable or true. Pure nonsense.

Not really. Just not buying that there’d be any way for anyone to know if a guy was whimpering like a dog when he blew himself up. Also, I doubt any accounts will verify that.
Plus it’s the 10th time al-Baghdadi has been killed. With conflicting intel and a staged photo op I’m not leaping out of my chair yet. Even weirder was Russia saying they had not seen any such flights or approved them. Most comical.

Indeed. Tons and tons of fun details he could’ve made up.
Also worth remembering how Obama announced OBL death. Quite the contrast. Thanked the troops, didn’t thank Russia. Didn’t ramble for 30 minutes about how much better than W he was for killing OBL. Didn’t stage a fake photo 2 hours after the raid to look presidential.
The good old days.
