    So is this the thread wherein I claim to be the son of D.B. Cooper?

    The new york times is better but not by much. apparently working through esp cecelia kang says that "None of it was true. While Mr. Alefantis has some prominent Democratic friends in Washington and was a supporter of Mrs. Clinton, he has never met her, does not sell or abuse children, and is not being investigated by law enforcement for any of these claims."
    Only the last of those claims can be verified without a proper investigation which they admit hasnt happened and thanks to our loonie private eye and the now widespread posse of overexicited redditors, that probably wont happen.

    Krazelic, legitimate video footage of a confession to corruption being on a questionable youtube account to is not made less real by the associon whereas the authority of a pundit's blatantly biased accout of an event is somewhat exaserbated by being on a glorified partisan blog.

    This need you have for me to explain the nuamces between hard evidence and punditry in every thread is getting as tiresome as the constant attempts at threading together the facsimile of a gotcha moment from past posts.

    On this board? I have no comment but the booze pixy who lives in my ear would like it to be widely known that he has none and never has had any affiliation with the danish flower yakuza or their equine affiliates.

    ...the campaign denied any wrongdoing, and independent campaign finance experts say that even if the events in the video happened as portrayed, they don’t support the claim that the Clinton campaign did anything illegal.
    I'll happily accept this because I'm not an American lawyer, let alone an expert on campaign finance law.

    The "hard evidence" Greyblades speaks of is on par with the hard evidence demonstrating the godliness of the DPRK's Supreme Leader.

    And like that I find I cannot give a reason for why I keep wasting my time with people who take the word of the perpitrator professing innocence as proof.

    Thanks for the links Bunny.


    Off-topic: I would like to point out that schizophrenia isn't typically marked by such vivid instances of audio and visual psychosis, but more the heavy paranoia and delusions. This may manifesto in the more severe cases like the aliens/government conducting surveillance through the power supply, so they remove plug-sockets and even light bulbs. However, it is typically with paranoia around neighbours talking about them/recording them, or being followed when walking down the street. Unfortunately, the actions of the person can cause them to attract the interest of others, creating a fulfilling prophecy in some regards.

    Haha, nice try. A video you posted in the POTUS thread about another Hillary "scandal" was created by a notorious fraud who tried to illegally wiretap a senator's office (he pleaded guilty for that, btw). You responded with something along the lines of,That doesn't invalidate his message. Prove him wrong!

    You are gifted with amazingly poor self reflection.
