. The fact that people think everyone is lying to them tells me they believe only the absurd thoughts they conjure up in their own heads. To say that they all lie is a self lie. It saying those people have no self respect and no dignity and I'm the only one who tells the truth...a self lie
So now you are giving psychoanalysis. Coming from a person who cares about the world laughing, but excuses/accepts being lied to is comedy gold.
which outlets do you use to stay informed?
Already answered that in part of another reply to you a few posts back.

Please read this.
But all you really have to do is look at what *tRump is doing and decide if you can handle that or not...all of other crap is static. Just watch what he does...me I'm not good with any of it and there isn't anything on any of those stations that could change my mind I'm just watching *tRump phuck our entire country up while the senate stands by and does nothing but "Hope he learned a lesson" People... we are the laughing stock of the world when we use to lead...If you can't see that I have no help for you. If this is what you wanted I feel sorry for you
And no I don't think the entire world is lying and if would actually pay attention you'd know we're being laughed at. I have family and friends that live in other countries and they tell me we are being laughed at. But I guess they're lying too and of course only you hold all the truths...absurd

I don't think the entire world is lying.Yet, once a liar, always a liar applies for the most part.
I don't care we are being laughed at. They laughed before, they'll laugh again.Millions want to come here, so in the grand scheme of things, why does it matter?
People in this country laugh at what the party Trump doesn't belong to is doing, does that bother you too?I
As far as you saying only I hold all the truths? Condescending should be a taxable attribute in California. That might give it some worth? Right now it's as valuable as the carp on the sidewalks. That is laughable too, but humans are less tangible than the antics of a person in office from the opposing party.
I actually don't want to know the real truth about most things. People blowing gaskets over stuff they have no control over is insanity. Fun to watch, until you run out of popcorn.
the internet is not an outlet, it's a medium. which outlets do you trust to keep you informed of true, non-biased, factual reporting?
Outlets are a form of medium too. You just click a remote instead of a mouse or touch a screen. Look for a more personal connotation/connection when researching something of interest. For example the Raiders went 7-9 last season. If you have the patience and skillset, you can find the college transcripts of every player they had since1960. I can't explain it any simpler. You have to do the work, it doesn't just fall out of the sky.
And of course saying every person in MSM is lying all the time isn't condescending.

You are pretty dense, I never said they lie all the time. Just don't care to sit watch/listen/wait for the next time they do

mediums are the delivery method: TV, radio, newspaper/magazines (print), and internet. the outlets are the individual companies operating within the mediums.

what do the college transcripts of former Raiders players have to do with their 7-9 record in 2019? are you ok bro? you seem troubled.
it actually doesn't take much time at all. MLB NFL NBA NHL all have this info on their sites. It's easy to find. Just go to google and type a players name in and it'll give you links to all that info. Or go directly to the major sport leagues sites and look up anyone and their entire career from college through pro will all the stats. Not brain surgery.
The entire MAGA crowd is disenfranchised and it seems none of them own a mirror so they can have a strong look at who their problem is

Believe he was mentioning it in the context of usefulness of internet/info superhighway, in research - it’s hog heaven for us sports nuts
Impeachment is over, I say why not change thread to “Now we can vote him out - nine more months” updating it as November approaches

After yesterday's tweet storm he might be impeached for a second time...or are you not aware he told NY that he'll stop the ban when they stop investigating him...that's called a quid pro quo...or bribe if you want to speak English
Hakeem Jeffries spoke about this happening during the impeachment trial. He said what will stop him from bribing states or cities, and then yesterday he did.
impeachment has had its day for now, that’s why I thought just for a change why not....then return it to its original name after the election, if he isn’t voted out, as a renewed round of impeachments are called for
Wasn’t aware of what you mentioned in NY, bribery by tweet, yikes
[Edited on 2/14/2020 by Stephen]
. . .are you not aware he told NY that he'll stop the ban when they stop investigating him . . .
Thanks for the heads up - I was not aware of this. Link to a short article on it - thought it would be a good little case study for the "Fake News" debate. I have zero idea whether American Independent's editors are lib or con - I didn't have to carefully sift thru a landfill of liberal lies to find this article. It was the first search hit. Every word is a simple statement of current events.
Other than op-eds, I really don't see what the "Fake News" thing is. I am liberal and I listen to FOX radio every day - because it is the only news on the radio. It is just plain old news. I don't read or listen to opinion pieces, never have.
I think that the term "Fake News" is a way to deny things that are occurring in plain sight.
Read it yourself, tell me where the left or right spin is in this short article. Is it automatically "Fake News" because it is daring to report on Trump, is that it?
The local news station I watch is a FOX affiliate. I've watched BBC, CNN and MSNBC and when the conversation turns to *tRump they all say the same things including the local FOX affiliate...so are they all lying or just putting out the information they have? now FOX News simply ignores those stories and concentrates on HC emails or some other absurd conspiracy crap...except for Chris Wallace, Niel Cavuto and Judge Napolitano. and before he left Shepard Smith...so there are those on FOX who will deal with real facts while the Pundits create stories, Carlson, Ingaham, Hannity and the other Judge...
Again its not only absurd to say they all lie it's also arrogant stupidity and a stance that says I hold all the truths and only I...Much like *tRump ...the MAGA's are just find with a dictator

I already understand thanks. There are different ways to look at it.
Router (device) ISP (medium) internet (outlet/source of information)
Depends on the context of how "outlet" is defined and used.
I can explain my outlet as medium comment as well (if anyone really cares)
YouTube = outlet
Hypothetical, old tart in a rural area is too far away from metro area with digital broadcast TV and no cellphone. He has Roku and no way to actually browse the internet. He has a YouTube app and used it to search different channels for info. So technically in this scenario, YouTube (an outlet) becomes a medium (delivery method) and the channels within are the outlets.
Actually, I talked myself into a corner by not paying attention to what I said. Did I succeed in escape? Probably not, but in the end who gives a crap.
what do the college transcripts of former Raiders players have to do with their 7-9 record in 2019?
You asked me how I get my info. It was an example "Raiders 7-9" as subject, and the " college transcripts of former players" is what you can glean it you want to be diligent and dig deep when researching on the internet
Are we talking about being condescending again.??
Actually, I was being "judgemental. So my bad!

It's all good we're all a bit over the top with the entire process and have run to the corners. I think most of us are searching for what the greatest generation created after WWII. As a child of that generation here's what they didn't do that we do. They didn't talk about politics or religion. They didn't accept the absurd or extreme thinking. They had gone through too much(The depression and WWI and WWII) to allow others to talk BS and it be acceptable. They found middle ground...they visited each others and had social clubs. Personal relationships and your word really meant something. They didn't hate you based on your politics or faith because they didn't see the need to discuss those topics. They figured that you already knew what was right wrong and lived as such the rest was static...They paid more in taxes than we do percentage wise and unions were strong. My father was a teamster and he got full med, dental and vision benefits and 2 retirement plans one through the company he worked for and one through the teamsters along with SS. That's how well a truck driver/loading dock worker could live during that time. He made over $20 an hour in the 60's gas was 29cents a gallon and our house payment was $105 a month. Ronny Ray Gun and the GOP didn't like the middle class living like that so they've gutted all of it and now we talk about politics and religion
And *tRump ain't gonna give anyone any of that.

In the meantime, the U.S. Attorney General said that the President has made it "impossible to do my job". nothing to see here i guess.
What, even the U.S. Attorney General is insulting the president now?
Well maybe this thread can now cover Barr's upcoming impeachment that might be coming at him soon...55,000 signatures for his resignation

Yet another waste of time given McConnell will torpedo any attempt to impeach Barr should the House actually do so. But it would embarrass Barr on some level I suspect given it would certainly tarnish his legacy. God knows his reputation is already in tatters so why not add his legacy too...

I call BS on Barr's comment. He's been Trump's stooge ever since he auditioned for the job. His statements and actions since appointment back that up. He horribly misled the American public on the contents of the Mueller Report. And in the last week, his actions have done nothing to dismiss the fact that he's Trump's guy and following Trump's desires. Barr's unprecented actions have 2000 former DOJ officials & prosecutors calling for his resignation. Additionally, the Judges Association has called for an emergency meeting in the wake of Barr's action into the Roger Stone (Trump crony) case.
Make no mistake about it, Barr is at the top of the swamp creature list and an embarrassment to our expected norms at DOJ.
He needs to be purged so he will no longer overstep and continue to make a mockery of our justice system. This is what the Trump cult got for their vote? This is OK with them? Guess so.

Barr's "I can't do my job" tweet was 100% BS. If anything, it was a wink to POTUS that "Hey, you really can't FU the courts, jurors, or judges because you can screw up a case. I genuflect to you, but I got this under control. Trust me." Anyone who hadn't signaled Trump in advance would've been fired on the spot for daring to reprimand him.
Stone's case is in jeopardy right now. The defendant is ALWAYS given the benefit of any screw-ups - you know the "innocent until proven guilty" part of the constitution. However, Stone HAD been judged guilty & was merely awaiting sentencing on Thurs until Trump riled everyone up w/a tweet, Barr rushed to change the sentencing recommendations (which the judge reads but makes up her own mind), the 4 DOJ prosecutors withdrew from the case leaving their C+ team in charge, Trump is intimidating the foreperson, Stone's asked for a new trial again, & a witness against Stone is making statements in support of the withdrawn attorneys. There's a conference call today w/the judge & remaining defendants to see if they can even proceed to sentencing on Thursday. This is the judge Stone had in his rifle sight logo on his web site AFTER his arrest. And in the end, Trump will pardon him so he's disrupted a federal case big time for nothing.
Barr, McConnell, & the rest of Trump's acolytes are incapable of embarrassment or concern w/their legacy. These aren't people who can be shamed into doing the right thing. Barr isn't going to be impeached. The only people who get hurt are the regular civil servant lawyers who work for DOJ & now know every single case they have can be tampered w/by POTUS to the point that they could get disbarred.
The spotlight is too often on the top level guys & Trump. Let's not forget the civil servants who were furloughed & unpaid during Trump's 2018 Christmas government shutdown or those in any of the endangered agencies like energy. Hell, he's even got his fingers in orders for military staff like Vindman. Now, there's an exodus of experienced lawyers from DOJ all stemming from Trump's ego. Yeah, he cares about "everday Americans."

Your last paragraph is oh so true. Trump and his team of lackeys have destroyed the careers and livelihoods of many dedicated and qualified / skilled employees and civil servants. This was all done to coverup and protect Trump and his activities to perpetuate his political career and crimes / unethical behavior. And it has continued without shame.
if Barr is admitting that he cannot do his job, then we should take him at his word and remove him. imagine you walked into your manager's office and told them it was impossible for you to do your job because of the way they manage. that would surely be your last day at that job.
Which is why, if it hadn't been pre-arranged, Trump would've fired him on the spot. Trump gave a couple of days before today when he announced that "I'm allowed to be totally involved. "I'm actually, I guess, the chief law enforcement officer of the country. But I've chosen not to be involved."
Then he pardoned 11 criminals, including Junk Bond King Michael Milken, the former NYPD police chief, & former dem IL gov Blagojevich despite GOP opposition. He's REALLY feeling himself after his "impeachment exoneration." He shrugged off the idea that pardoning Stone have never crossed his mind.
Guess Barr's leash has been shortened.

If we haven't seen enough of who Trump is in the last 3 years, amped up actions up after the Mueller investigation, exponetially amped up actions since the GOP gave him a pass on impeachment, then buckle up your seatbelt if he gets reelected. He feels there are no check & balances and that there is one branch of gov't - the Executive Branch with him as dictator in chief. He has neutered the GOP Senate, castrated Bill Barr, and appointed judges that will most likely not challenge his perceived unbridled power.

on another note someone else has been arrested for making death threats to both Schiff and Shumer
A Western New York man was arrested Wednesday on charges that he threatened to kill Rep. Adam Schiff and Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Salvatore Lippa, 57, of Greece, New York, was charged with threatening to assault and murder a federal official on account of the performance of their official duties.
According to the criminal complaint, on Jan. 23, Schiff's Washington, D.C., office received a threatening voicemail that included a death threat.
Lippa started the threatening message by calling the congressman "Schiff, Shifty Schiff," invoking the nickname used by President Donald Trump for Schiff, the lead House manager during Trump's impeachment trial.
Almost two weeks later, on Feb. 4, Schumer received a threatening voicemail at his New York office that also contained a death threat.
In the threat, Lippa paired Schumer with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying "Hey, Schumer, you and Nancy Pelosi are..." according to the complaint. When questioned by U.S Capitol Police, Lippa admitted to making the threatening calls to Schiff and Schumer because he said he was upset about the impeachment proceedings, prosecutors said.
When questioned by U.S Capitol Police, Lippa admitted to making the threatening calls to Schiff and Schumer
because he said he was upset about the impeachment proceedings, prosecutors said.
“The rights secured in our Constitution carry with them certain responsibilities. When it comes to the First Amendment, that responsibility includes the obligation not to threaten to kill others,” U.S Attorney James Kennedy said in a statement.
Lippa is due in federal court in Rochester on Wednesday afternoon. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
When I read this it makes me think the GOP is also getting similar threats
