What is the difference, exactly, between that woman telling the unsupportable story being described as telling "Her Truth" while Trump is described as "Lying"?

A quote from an interview with President of the United States of America Donald Trump: "My father is German, was German. Born in a very wonderful place in Germany."

If you click on the link and read it the names of the racists using the invective on Romney and McCain are included.

It doesn't really matter. The word has been meaningless since about the turn of the century when and opponent of a Democrat-Socialist needed top be attacked.

The Democrat-Socialists are the party that calls Republicans "racists".

I clicked on the link. I read the names. I didn't read the names of anyone who called them racists. So now you have to tell me who they are and where in those links does it say that person or those people (Democratic Socialists, according to you) called McCain and Romney racists.

Nope. Here's a perfect example of reality triggering Trump supporters:

Bringing up the time Trump publicly defended Neo Nazis and the KKK by standing on a public platform saying some are "very fine people". In reality and factually he defended Neo Nazis and the KKK. He's on video tape doing it. That's why all those national business and community leaders quit prestigious presidential committees, and White Supremacists praised Trump for what he said.

That triggers most Trump supporters, and they instantly launch into denial mode, just like they did more recently with the racist chants. Or go to a thread about AOC and her pointing out the fact that America is incarcerating brown skinned people in Concentration Camps. That triggers a lot of Trump supporters.

Like I said, there are two things that trigger most Trump supporters: Facts and Reality. They generally try to deny both when they are defending Trump idiocies.

In response to the question posed in last sentence, we can begin by polling the supporters of President Donald Trump to find out just how they view any number of issues. Happily, it's a relatively simple process. We can achieve a certainty of 1 sigma by polling any one of them.

One sigma in your polling methodology, represents something different than it does in rational and legitimate polling.

Seems to have missed by one generation. Message is still the same: He likes Germany.

Maybe he was drinking beer with Pocahontas and they both got their lineage "stories" confused.

I believe the intent of the statement was to indicate that he held a great affection for Germany due to his heritage. That affection could be real despite the mistaken citation of which ancestor was born there.

Maybe he drank less of the beer than the quantity consumed by Pocahontas when she was determining her heritage.

You missed the names of John Lewis quoted in one link and the byline of the story written by the "journalist" in the other. What were you looking for?

Your incisive review is unchanged from the previous go-round you subjected me to.

Please, try to deal in rationality.

Taking a partial quote out of context?

Here: Let me try that using only words from your post above. Please note that every word is quoted exactly as it appears above:

JustHanging publicly defended Neo Nazis and the KKK. Facts and Reality. Nope. White Supremacists praised JustHanging.

See how easy this is? Context and rational thought need to be employed in assessing meaning.

The entire statement and the chain of statements in regard to Charlotte from Trump indicated that ALL of the violence was bad.

Later, when the statue was at question, Trump noted that there were probably good people on both sides of the issue. I think it can be logically inferred that there were probably bad people on both sides as well.

Stupidity and dishonesty are triggers for me.

Your post above triggered me.

No, I saw the name John Lewis (who isn't a Democratic Socialist). I didn't see any words saying "McCain is a racist" or "Romney is a racist". Let's see those quotes.

What "journalist" were you talking about, and what is your evidence that the "journalist" is a Democratic Socialist?

Thank you for the proof that Facts and Reality Trigger Trump Supporters Bigly!

Let me guess, these national business and community leaders are all part of a giant conspiracy headed by....THE LIZARD PEOPLE!!!!! :lamo

So you're triggering yourself with your own posts.

Are you Christian? I'm pretty sure there's something in the bible about not doing that ****. :lamo


EDIT: Don't forget about the fact that America is incarcerating brown skinned children in Concentration Camps without proper food or hygiene. That bit of reality nearly always triggers Republicans as well.

Your links to articles telling me what I already know is supposed to help me how? You think that the articles somehow support your idiotic premise?

Hi! Yup! It certainly does! I recommend familiarization with the Studentized 't' distribution table.

The question which the quote posed was this: Was President of the United States of America telling the truth or was he telling a falsehood?

Maybe I don't understand what a "Trigger" is.

The things you list make me say to myself that I oppose some, some I support or enjoy, some are just indicators of stupidity and some are unimportant. Nothing causes rage.

I thought a "trigger" was something that struck the Triggered in a way that caused irrational, uncontrollable emotional response(s). Is that not the meaning?

Something you did not list that does trigger me is when idiots assert that they are very smart and that they must dictate my actions by virtue of their presumed superiority. I would assume this "Triggers" everyone.

Being older and less dependent on the thoughts and actions of others has removed the incentive to suffer fools gladly.
Click to expand...

I'm glad you are not triggered by those things, but every single one of those things has triggered and continues to trigger many self-professed conservatives into irrational and emotional responses on this board and elsewhere. Both sides are quite easily triggered by a whole slew of topics, but not everyone on either side is easily triggered by the same things.
 
code1211 said:
Of late, there seem to be a variety of Triggers that affect people on both sides of the political spectrum.

Triggers that incite the Democrat-Socialist Progressives seem to be wide and varied:

Trump, the National Anthem, the American Flag, election results, any accurate historical fact, enforcing any law as written, Police from any level of government, any male non-minority historical figures, any American Foundational Documents, the racists they cite in our society including Trump, Betsy Ross, Thomas Jefferson, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney and John McCain and, of course, the ongoing injustices committed by bakeries.

Triggers that incite Republicans seem to be pretty narrow:

The ongoing Clown Show conducted by the Democrat-Socialist Progressives.

How can we ever bridge these divides?

One thing we really need to do is not allow any part of Congress to be involved in purely partisan investigations, allowing a party in power to abuse that power. In order to launch an investigation we need like a panel of six Republicans and six Democrats and a 2/3's vote in order to begin an investigation of those in power. I'm OK with tweaking those numbers as long as the party in power doesn't have carte blanche to do political witch hunts.

Very typical misunderstanding from liberals. I was going to write that I have no idea why you ask this, but, you're a liberal. Liberals seem to dismiss facts, logic and truth in favor of identities, demographics and political affiliations.

The speaker of "her truth" makes no difference. If "her truth" is hers and hers alone, or his, then it's more likely a belief.

I'm more annoyed at the perversion of the language than the speakers of their individual "truth", that is, beliefs.

Truth is truth. When you call a non-truth "truth", you display a willful intent to deceive.

When you accept and help promote a non-truth as truth, you join into the con.

Oh, I see...

You agree that Republicans who are obviously NOT racists are slandered or libeled by Democrats historically and consistently with disgusting lies and epithets.

You are only arguing that the Democrats are Democrats and not Democrat-Socialists.

You are citing a distinction without a difference, but I will agree that the new party name did not exist when these liars were slandering and libeling the Republicans in their day.

I was only updating their party affiliation to the party that now exists as it exists.

I stand corrected and I agree with you: It is both Democrats and Democrat Socialists who are lying, libelous slandering snakes.

Thank you for you help in expanding my understanding.

Most of your post is pretty much a steaming bag of dung. The last line comes close to being a thought. Let's look at that.

The last line is interesting. It reveals the lack of facilities and procedures to fulfill the needs of the folks being detained in keeping with the laws written by Congress and signed by presidents in office before Trump.

The facilities could be improved and expanded to handle the demand, but the Congress refuses to allocate funding when it's requested. The laws could be changed to help address the increased volumes of people arriving.

The Congress has chosen to not change the laws, improve the facilities, improve the system or help with the situation in any way.

Do you see the key mistake in your thinking causing you to blame a person working to solve the issue that is both caused and maintained by other folks?
