Provide examples of this collective delusion please or just stop making shit up.

This is why you get criticized, in addition to numerous examples of truth denial, whataboutism, xenophobia, and transphobia that you've been called out on over the years.

"But we gotta be nice to people like this!"

Suck it up you lying snowflake.

So Trump stormed out of the "Meet The Press" interview like the mad toddler he is because he was getting fact-checked. Bet he's looking forward to the UFC fight at the White Huose that's looking more and more like one of these. It's quite fitting.

Well for one thing I have this thing called a full-time job. Sometimes I have time to kill, but not usually. So if I drop in here to make a casual comment about something, I don't necessarily have time to keep following up.

Another problem is you guys (Taleweaver excepted, he actually reads and evaluates) only want me to post so you can collectively piss on whatever I wrote, regardless of the content. And then celebrate how your delusion in unison somehow proves you right. It took me a while to figure out, because I try and want to believe most people are normal and reasonable. But there is no point trying to engage with ideologically blinded weirdos. So if I don't respond to you calling on me to answer your questions on-demand, it's not because I 'stormed off.' It's because the sealioning bullshit that goes on in this sub is just too tiresome to tolerate. You don't examine your own assumptions, or require corroborative sources of each other for anything you claim, but demand strict proof from your preferred sources if/when someone posts an opinion that differs from your own.

There is no 'debate' or good-faith discourse to be had here.
We've given direct examples that everyone is knowledgeable about in relation to the corruption. In response, I’m asking for specific examples because claims like "real doozies" are only meaningful if they can be substantiated. Sealioning doesn’t apply just because someone asks for examples after a claim is made. That’s how serious factual discussions usually work.

I’m fine disagreeing, but I’m not fine with asymmetry where one side can make broad conclusions without evidence or examples, while the other side is dismissed entirely for asking for it. Again, it's borderline dishonest.
 
Now, all those people waiting for their tariffs check they were promised, especially MAGA, are not getting it. Why? Because we've got a lying sack of shit in the white house that is out for himself, and throws everyone else under the bus. The smart people don't like him. He loves the poorly educated.

But what about "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"

I think the problem is also that on the conservative side, there's you, Foxi4, and... Sorry to say, but a bunch of trolls that don't care about honest discussion but just want to trigger people they don't like.
Couple that with trump controversies on a daily basis, and I can't blame you for not defending your own stance at every turn.

But really... In a thread about Trump corruption, you can expect new stuff to come out on regular basis. Same if you announce not to post anymore. It's just how it is. Don't take it personally. Your personal time is more important than debating some guys on the internet

You're right about that. And you may have noticed that I've never 'teamed up' with anyone in here (from that bunch of trolls), although some sure have tried.

But pls don't think it has ever been about "honest discussion" for the mob in here. That has always been no more than bait. This sub is more like a religious gathering than a debate/discussion on politics. And the believers will suffer no dissent.

For debates on other topics like Argentina getting billions from the US, the results would take time to unfold before we can really say if it was an overall good decision. Same goes with the takeover of Venezuela. It was unprovoked and chaotic, but the outcome over time could still be debated on the overall good for both countries. I'd even go as far as to debate the positive points of if the US was to take over Canada.

For the topic of Trump's corruption, it's less of a debate at this point and more of a public service to let people know what's going on outside of their own bubble. It's demonstrable and in plain view. At this point, the only person who could ever unseat Trump as the most corrupt US president would have to be a future president, because history has never had someone as self-serving as this person.

That's a "real doozy" of a projection.
