Ok, so I stopped reading after this sentance.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 09/07/2019 06:47:26 PM

"...the chronic, exuberant dishonesty of the commander in chief and his minions..."

This is where the article looses me. Minions... Really? This is a word to communicate impartial or without personal biased thoughts? Much of what I read in the media today is more people's characterization of what Trump has said, rather than what he has actually said. And then the rest of it is taking his hyperbolic, showman-style communication at face value and at verbatim.

So putting all that aside, I will now talk about what I assume is the actual topic of the article. Fake news could lead to real war. This is a very real possibility. We've already seen fake news almost bring down a President. In regards to the tanker bombing, I'm not sure why one would jump right to a black-flag op. The sanctions on Iran are really starting to have an effect. The nation is collapsing and they are getting desperate. Hosting a Japanese delegation, and then bombing a Japanese freighter just goes to show that one had is not in total control of the other.

I see the immediate jump to conspiracy theory thinking as nothing more than a desperate attempt to frame something that you don't understand into a construct that, although outlandish, can be understood.

To be clear, I wasn't expecting you to provide a serious answer, anyway. - 10/07/2019 10:39:53 PM 344 Views
Really? Why? Because he pretty much showed how silly your points were? - 11/07/2019 06:22:28 AM 327 Views
No, because I've had far too many entirely pointless exchanges with him. - 11/07/2019 08:02:59 AM 314 Views
