Trump says clips of Muslims cheering 9/11 exist because other people have seen them

No. Sharia law was outlawed five years ago,.

Jeez.

That’s not what the rest of us came here for actually.

As with the ‘muzzies’, others are carrying the burden of your imaginings about them.

I thank you for the opportunity to showcase some gifs. Good luck with that falling sky

Do you suppose that guy has any cognitive dissonance over the conjunction of his Murika flag worship and a weapon designed by a three-time recipient of the Order of Lenin?

This issue keeps reminding me of the video footage from “The Laughing Man Incident” in the first season of the Ghost in the Shell anime series.

Basically, by the time the case heated back up again, it’d been years, and nobody had a copy of the original footage of the incident. Constant overlays in the video that don’t match between copies, no clean version, the earliest known copy was significantly after the fact. And in that universe brain-computer interfaces had advanced so far that there wasn’t really any way to distinguish something you misremembered from something on your personal non-volatile hard drive from something you found out on the internet.

I can see parallels in this case, except that we still do have original copies. Yet people are choosing to believe a fabrication for reasons likely related to keeping their mental narratives intact.

No, but history shows rules like that are going to be disproportionately not enforced on rich white people, primarily against people who have conditions that don’t in fact affect their ability to do the job but are going to be prevented from it anyone. Mostly the ones who don’t have Republican Presidential Candidate Level buy-your-way-out-of-anything money.

Don’t call him a skeptic. The hallmarks of skepticism are above all: following the evidence and changing one’s mind with new information.

Our friend Alistair here is a denialist.

What’s dissonant on choosing the best? Said Order was awarded for a reason.

That sounds like the adviser doing too little, in Trumps case. They ought to do something with sky writing, and have the window washers in his large black and gold buildings holding up signage, and displaying billboards, and taking over his private jet’s intercom and, and, and, there’s so much such an adviser could do in Trump’s case and still be doing far too little.

Have the grounds keeper at the golf course mow “TRUMP IS ALWAYS FULL OF SHIT” into all the courses.

Like a father who is African, or a Muslim upbringing, for example. But then even proof isn’t proof.

Lets recall it was Trump that kept the Birth Certificate flap going like a fart in an elevator for YEARS.

it was HUUUUGE to him. 'UUUUUUUGE

I was just talking mental conditions, but that too.

I would not put it past the politicians (particularly on the conservative side) to use a rival candidates not-even-a-real-obstacle mental difference, like, say, autism or a mood disorder currently under control with medication to their advantage. As an autistic person that fact pisses me off.

When people who haven’t actually experienced any mental illness or developmental disorder get to make the rules over what’s an ‘acceptable’ level of disability…bad things tend to happen.

I totally conflated the two intentionally. Thank you for playing along with that.

I look forward to the days when they’re bigoted about mood issues, instead of vaginas and skin color.

This shit is a game of inches. But we’re winning.

Um, you might want to review your argument that I asked for a citation for. You said:

“You obviously haven’t read or watched videos from Britain or other European countries where radical islamic groups are openly relishing the thought that as muslim populations grow so will the democratic emergence of Sharia law that will usurp the governments of these countries.”

If you want to find someone who’s arguing both sides of the argument, go check out one of these.

Yeah but we’re talking about applying standards to a specific rich white man, not instituting a general mental competence qualification that would be wielded unevenly like a voting literacy test or poll tax.
