I certainly dont consider myself an avid fan of Jordan Peterson (his neo-marxist rants are beyond cringeworthy) but if anybody is stupid it's the throng of 1st year arts students, fresh from obtaining a credit in 'introduction to gender studies', who constantly go up against him in shows like Q&A and get torn to pieces. 

It's glorious, isn't it?

Then again, smug, educated idiots (of which our media outlets seem to give a disproportionate amount of airtime to) are a pet hate of mine. 

There are only two intellectually honest debate tactics: (a) pointing out errors or omissions in your opponent’s facts, or (b) pointing out errors or omissions in your opponent’s logic. All other debate tactics are intellectually dishonest - John T. Reed

The Most Popular Presidential Candidate Of All Time (TM) cant go to a sports stadium in the country he presides over. Figure that one out...

They didn’t do all of the financial crimes he (probably) committed.

Imo he’ll be charged as soon as he leaves office.

How Paul is that a straw man.

We have heard so many straw arguments against Trump.

Such as his liaison's with strippers and prostitutes, to

collusion with Russia.

No one has ever been in a position to put anything solid on the table.

The establishment hate him. We get that. But that cements his supporter base too. And he is doing a great job.

Everyone keeps coming up with these allegations but have zero evidence.

I mean I am sorry, but accusing Trump of drug Money laundering and other associated activities is just ridiculous.

If any of it was slightly true, then he would be charged.

"Everyone keeps coming up with these allegations but have zero evidence."

There's a shitload of evidence.

I already told you that there's an open legal question as to whether you can indict a sitting President.

He can't be impeached either as these crimes were committed before he entered office which is why I have said numerous that I think he will be indicted as soon as he leaves office.

There is a shitload of fake news you mean.

You guys are just clasping at straws.

And btw, you can indict a sitting POTUs because it's been done before to Nixon and almost to Clinton. So no such question exists. Sorry!

The POTUS is not above US law and is accountable but you got nothing on Trump and that must really hurt.

Time to buy some Kleenex because at the next election I'm gonna be mining all the salt! lol

Some good stories in the news today.

Israel dissolving government as Benjamin hadn't sorted his coalition in time, will be interesting to see if this ends up the same result or if he loses seats.

Robbie Mueller decided to make a 10 min appearance to drop some grenades about Trump and not being completely exonerated, but then quickly drop kicked them onto Congress to deal with, where the Democrats will most likely swallow that like a hungry shark swimming in some chum. Will be very interesting to see if they go after the Ice Peached Tea because it could swing both ways if they press the nerves harder in the lower house (as it'll never pass the Senate).

It'll give them ammo going into 2020, but could also backfire and end up ultimately worse (RE: Impeachment of Bill Clinton and how madly democrats supported him).

Last bit of news is Boris Johnson facing charges over lying to the public during the Brexit ordeal.

Basically the dude who will be the next PM no doubt (depending on this of course).

What about those Saudi blokes that killed Khashoggi? They are fucked now.


Saudi government: Go and kill Khashoggi

Hit squad: Ok

Turkey: You killed Khashoggi

Saudi government: Nope

Turkey: We have a recording

Saudi government: Ok we did but it was a 'rogue team'.

Turkey: Bullshit

UN rapporteur: The Saudi government personally ordered the hit.

Saudi government: We didn't and the hit squad are on trial with 5 facing the death penalty.

Hit squad: What the fuck?!

The whole situation is horrible. I'm glad the murderers are facing justice but I'm against the death penalty in all circumstances. I agree that the people who ordered the killings should be held responsible as well.
