You're all lost.

What do I get when I prove it was fake news? Got the balls to apologize?

Certainly, still waiting

Well first he didn’t get lost. And there are no squirrels. So based on that alone, you made it all up.

But here is the actual video:

Conservative media uses misleading camera angle of Biden to falsely claim he was wandering aimlessly

A different angle, captured by NBC News, shows that President Joe Biden was walking to give a thumbs-up to parachuters who had just landed in a demonstration.

You don't actually care about being accurate, realistic. You care about your side winning. Those are not the same thing, and you've never once stopped to notice the difference.

You will defend a lie if it came from your camp. You will attack a truth if it came from theirs. You've outsourced your reasoning to your identity and called it conviction. You haven't had an original thought about reality in your entire life, just reactions, just reflexes, just the primate satisfaction of seeing the enemy hurt.

The uncomfortable fact is that most people don't have beliefs. They have loyalties dressed up as beliefs. Epistemology cosplay. You couldn't tell me how you know what you know, because you don't know; you were told, and it felt right because everyone around you nodded.

And the anger. As if the intensity of your feelings is evidence of your correctness. As if volume is argument. You're not passionate about truth; you're addicted to the war. Truth would actually end it. You don't want it to end. The genuinely reality-oriented person is nearly extinct in public discourse. What's left is two mirror-image tribes, each convinced they're the rational ones, each using reason as a weapon rather than a compass, pointing it outward, never inward.

It's not a political problem. It's not even a cultural problem. It's a cognitive failure. And the worst part?

Most of you are proud of it.

Disgusting.

And you are different, how? I've read your posts accusing the other side and saying you want nothing to do with any of them.

Your entire post is a projection of the positions you've taken against liberals.

What solutions are you offering to this mess?

Welcome to reality coupled with our current Constitution and Political System.

Sorry if you want to play Football, but this is a Baseball field and a Baseball game.

Complete with rules that we make up as we go along! We don't have to keep playing the same stupid game.

So you think I’m a conservative? A Trump supporter? I’m curious what labels you’ve attached to me and why. Also, which posts of mine are you referencing specifically?

I wonder if you’ll try to argue with me about what I believe and what I do or don’t support.

The problem is that too few people care about anything but their own agenda. They don't care about the facts or the truth about really much of anything.

Feel free to try to change my mind about that.

The Cosmos is built upon polarities.
In human affairs and especially politics, one side's truth is the other side's lies.

Finding agreeable middle ground can be difficult to impossible.

You say Too-may-to, I say Two-maa-ta ...

You think you are on his level, present something other than snickers and ad hominems.

• “So you say ‘Politics!’ as if it were a nasty word—and you think that settles it.”
  He sighed. “But you don’t understand. Politics is not evil; politics is the human race’s most magnificent achievement. When politics is good, it’s wonderful…and when politics is bad—well, it’s still pretty good.”
  “I guess I don’t understand,” I said slowly.
  “Think about it. Politics is just a name for the way we get things done...without fighting. We dicker and compromise and everybody thinks he has received a raw deal, but somehow after a tedious amount of talk we come up with some jury-rigged way to do it without getting anybody’s head bashed in. That’s politics. The only other way to settle a dispute is by bashing a few heads in...and that is what happens when one or both sides is no longer willing to dicker. That’s why I say politics is good even when it is bad…because the only alternative is force—and somebody gets hurt.”

OK, so you present POS trump as a LEADER. the supreme leader.

Just say so.

Your delusions again combined with your poor skills at reading comprehension.

I haven't said Trump is "the supreme leader".
I do consider him the best we've had since Reagan.
I think they both have faced challenging times and achieved better than average and better than expected results.
However, the circumstances have been different for each, which makes comparison an apples to oranges thing.

I also fail to see anything in you that would be on the scale of either. You are bottom of barrel sludge when it comes to leadership skill or talent.
You 100x the POS of Trump.

I believe that "truth" is in many ways, objective.

"The truth rises to the top" as some say."

So, I don't hold that either side of an issue holds the truth.

The "truth" doesn't care.

It's either embraced and appreciated, or it is suppressed and denied.

The Far Left Wackoes have taken over the Dem party. They push agendas I refuse to accept.

Therefore, Im against the Dems.

Bring back JFK style Dems or Blue Dogs then we can talk.

I refer to it as cheerleaders. If I were in politics, be it a Dem or Biden, I would reach out to any leader and explain why I cannot support a policy. It would be up to them to convince me otherwise, alter the language or what have you, not on me to be impulsively obedient. If both sides operated this way you would have more battles but better policies that have been thoroughly scrutinized and dissected.

It's not the individuals. It's not the parties. It's not the ideologies.

It's a system that incentivizes, feeds and rewards what is happening.
