But glad he warned us about windmill cancer.



Oh, and he had nothing to do with the U.S. being the #1 producer of oil and natural gas, since it began in 2012.

This is a great statement. Mostly because it sums up partisans on both sides of the "debate".


This is literally what US politics has turned into. Only partisans think it only applies to the other side.

Would you please post where you got your education that taught you that second and third hand reports are accurate and are to be believed? the Education you apparently received growing up needs to be investigated and people given vouchers for a better opportunity. How many second and third hand reports are you going to pass off as factual? You think the President has that kind of authority?

Your contention that Woodward's sources can't be believed because they are "second and third hand reports" is counter-logical. There is no reason to believe that a statement made by a second had source should be dismissed as inaccurate when that source would be acceptable if a first-hand report.

What we are seeing from your posts is someone dismissing unwanted evidence because it is contrary to what you want to believe, in classic cognitive dissonance fashion.

I am accepting the written word of a journalist that has been shown to be accurate for decades. I really don't think I'm out on a climb believing Woodward.

And yours is nothing more than a negative spin to a policy that the President doesn't have the authority to do, must more Trump bashing based upon what you want to believe.

Without facts, there is nothing to your OP. And as I keep saying, its meaningless even if its true. Trump said something, and it doesnt matter.
