Man that whole thing is what gets my goat.
Itâs one thing for a person to say âI donât find that persuasive, but Iâm also not in a position to refute that claim.â
See virtually every conspiracy theory. Donât find global warming/vaccines/quid pro quo persuasive? Fine, but ffs donât extend that to say âI donât find that persuasive, so let me tell you why all of the experts are wrong.â Just say youâre not an expert so donât have more than an opinion and probably shouldnât say even that much in a serious conversation.
Itâs maddening to me when someone (including me!) dismisses the conclusions of people who have spent their entire lives becoming experts in a field. âThis doesnât make sense to me, therefore it must be wrongâ is like, the mantra of the GOP but in many ways the mantra of the human race.
I generally feel a deep sense of serenity about the whole thing. I have to if Iâm humble about my own misperceptions and ignorance. But that changes when I encounter topics like vaccines.
Like someone else was saying about balancing free speech against the unforeseen disinformation campaigns possible with modern technology. Itâs a constant uphill battle without easy answers.
Wow, cspan callers are the nut low. I canât even believe the lack of brain power of our citizens.
Lol. That last one was great. Cliffs Alabama sucks and impeach the fucker.
I was listening to that too hahahahahahahahahahaha
What the hell purpose does the â0 days since Adam Schiff followed house rulesâ poster serve?
It appears to indicate he is following house rules.
Iâm more than happy to have you guys filter out the unimportant nonsense for me.
It does. Donât tell 'em.
Youâd think CSPAN callers would be more informed.
Iâd figure that Trump supporters donât know what CSPAN is.
Cool that republicans are doubling down saying Ukraine did interfere in 2016 despite what the foremost expert testifying said. They say it is just Hillâs opinion.

Interesting group of Senators to be meeting with.
Sounds like a problem best solved by verrit dot com style verification codes
Their claims of interference consists solely of disparaging remarks made about a candidate that voiced approval of the annexation of Crimea while on the campaign trail.
I spent a long time thinking people were too traumatized to see clearly with the GOP, like when you spend ten years in a cult.
But now I think a large chunk of humanity is literally too dumb to discern the difference between opinion and fact. This is true of all of us depending on the field and modality, but idk, Iâve been traveling across the States and see a lot of people who try hard but just donât have the capacity.
Lets all give a warm round of applause to our new Secretary of State, Mitt Romney!
The details really donât matter at this point. If Schiff wants to call more witnesses thatâs fine, whatever. Weâve established he did it, everyone knows he did it, itâs pure theater at this point.
To me, the key is to keep the House impeachment inquiry open through at least the Spring. Thereâs going to be more to investigate and hold hearings about. Hell, there already is - hold hearings on Emoluments for a few weeks. The key is to keep these devastating, defenseless acts in the news instead of quickly voting to impeach and turning the narrative over to Mitch, effectively closing the door on additional hearings.
Hey lawbros, isnât first day of class âdonât let the witness your questioning keep talking after youâve got your answerâ? Is he just running down the clock?
