The disorienting nature of gaslighting.

[Correll]

That's simply not true.

Explain your reasoning.

The New York Times is reporting that the IRS is considering pulling Harvard University's tax exempt status. The article goes on to say that it is illegal for the president to order the IRS to take such an action. A White House spokesman who was asked to comment on the story said that the IRS's investigation has nothing to do with trump. Gaslighting just doesn't get any more obvious than that.

 

[berg80]

Explain your reasoning.

You want me to explain why trump's fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of our trade imbalance with China doesn't justify the 145% tariff he imposed, resulting in a tax on consumers and jeopardizing our defense industries?

 

[MarathonMike]

This is rich, a gaslighter, gaslighting the board, on the subject of gaslighting…

Who better to discuss the "disorienting nature of gaslighting" than bergy?

Sorry Kamala wasn’t allowed to keep the corrupt gravy train going. You’ll just have to take it.

You want me to explain...

You can't. You just can't.

Sometimes in real life, if you're lucky, you'll achive some kind of mutual agreement on reality with them. You'll be able to achieve agreement on one tiny little speck of fact. Or you'll catch some non-verbal cue that indicates that something you've said has connected in some way. Often it's worth trying, and I still do. It's easier for me because I do have several basic agreements on issues with them.

Here? No. This is pro wrestling here.

Good to hear. They want to act like a "private" university, let them be treated as such.

The concept of higher education having a tax exempt status, as I understand it, is that they provide a service to the nation and thus should not be taxed.


BUT, the lefty posters on this site have been making the case that HARVARD is for the world and not to serve AMERICAN interests ahead of FORIEGNERS.

If they are NOT providing a service to the nation, but see themselves as neutral or, let's be honest, HOSTILE to America,

then it is fucking stupid of America to cut them a break.


We should just shut them down then.

You made an assertion, I want to hear your reasoning.

That was clear.

Instead, all you did there, was reassert your assertion.


That is the logical fallacy of Argument by Assertion. Common with the far leftards.

I ask again, explain your reasoning.

At the White House on Thursday afternoon, when asked by a reporter whether he would move to return Mr. Abrego Garcia to the United States, Mr. Trump said, “Well, I’m not involved.”

“You’ll have to speak to the lawyers, the D.O.J.,” he said, referring to the Justice Department.

Not involved? I wonder if that's a sign he recognizes the peril he has put the admin in and is preparing to identify a scapegoat.

To be clear Berg80, you want ALL the illegals to stay and to let more in.


Your policy goal is not to serve the interests of AMERICANS by sending these people home, but to serve THEIR interests at the expense of America and Americans,

correct?

Horseshit.

 

[Correll]

Horseshit.

Are you claiming that you think that AMERICAN universities should have admissions policies that serve the interests of AMERICA and AMERICANS, before that of foriegners?

 

[berg80]

To be clear Berg80, you want ALL the illegals to stay and to let more in.

I don't. Anyone allowed in the country needs to meet the standards we have established for admission. Anyone who crossed the border illegally should be sent back. I agreed with Biden's EO putting more stringent rules on those who qualified for admission under asylum protocols.
