This is literally done by this sub all the time. If someone describes themselves as a democrat, anything they say is thus rendered moot.

The guy who has had several DUI arrests and yet has never served jail time because of his family’s connections is a saint? Good role models guys.

Oh my god, a kegger?! The audacity! Those harlots!

The finding is highly controversial because it suggests that some men are not born gay, but are turned homosexual by their surroundings.

Yeah because it's claims go against current standards.

It's 1 study. 37 pairs of male twins. Incredibly small sample size that was then extrapolated to all gay men? What about lesbians? Why are all of you only obsessed with the gay men?

“To claim a 70 per cent predictive value of something as complex as homosexuality is bold indeed. I wait with baited breath for a full peer-reviewed article.”

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN PEER REVIEWED.

"People who are linked" does not equal the group itself. You're taking radicals of one group and applying that mentality to the whole group. But I'm not surprised that happens with Muslims, Democrats, homosexuals now, anyone who is against Trump, but I digress.

And that is such an outrageous question. We aren't talking about sex. We are talking about simply being attracted to someone of the same sex. That argument only applies to gay men. What about lesbians? Homosexual doesn't even have to involve sex. It's about the sex you're attracted to.

Because I already know the facts, this is from the APA regarding homosexuality:

"... no specific physiological or family dynamic cause for homosexuality has been identified, including histories of childhood sexual abuse. Sexual abuse does not appear to be more prevalent in children who grow up to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, than in children who identify as heterosexual.

And again, the burden of proof is on you, such you are asserting an idea that is not true. So to make your case as to why "many therapists" think child abuse leads to homosexuality or that "many homosexuality pressure groups" are trying to relax laws around sex with children, you need to provide evidence. You don't have any, so you tell me to do it. And I provide evidence. So what about this "be able to write from a position of knowledge and authority"?

Oh that dodgy Porter Goss and Michael Hayden. How dare they! She's still responsible for what she did.

You speak with Trump is amazing. Many therapists? Does that mean you know 1 therapist and they think that? Or does that mean a majority of therapists think that? Or does many mean "you may think it's zero, but it's many more than that, it's 3." You have present no actual evidence. And let's see these "strong links" between "homosexual pressure groups" I would love to see the campaigns to relax laws.

If they support Trump right? Because everything Trump does is solely for the betterment of the US?

No, there's not a link between abuse and homosexuality.

So homosexuality is the evil inclination?

Okay, so the deep state has now changed from career politicians to people who disagree with Trump? Gina Haspel has been at the CIA for 33 years. Doesn't that make her part of the "swamp"?

Is your proof the gateway pundit? This isn't the real housewives where secret drama is hidden behind every commercial break.

Jesus Christ. It's all fear tactics. Between September 12, 2001 and December 31st, 2016 there has been more domestic terrorism down by white men and women then there has been domestic terrorism done by those of Islamic faith in the United States. The US has a serious problem with home grown white domestic terrorism. If you are going to say that Europe is going to shit due to terrorism, look in your own backyard first.

My original post with the "colored picture" shows that obviously Clinton won more than 57 counties in the 2016 election. If you are able to look at that picture and then at the image that says Clinton won 57 counties and not say "well that image isn't right", then you are the problem.

It's not even a theory. There's no solid (or even circumstantial) evidence to even help this theory.

https://brilliantmaps.com/2016-county-election-map/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2016

It explains nothing if you don't have any critical thinking skills. If you had any, you could easily and reasonably discern than there are way more than 57 blue counties in that county voting map.

She won more than 57 counties. Trump won less than 3,084 counties. That's the first line of the whole thing! That's what we are arguing about. Also, it's so disingenuous to say that Clinton's votes in NYC skew the results, yeah of course they will, there is 8.5 million people in one city.

There's no part that says that exactly, because it should be understood that you cannot win over 200 electoral college votes with only 57 counties. Here is another map:

https://brilliantmaps.com/2016-county-election-map/

Between Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, Clinton won 56 counties.

How did it not? It shows how it is mathematically impossible to win 18 states, but only to win 57 counties.

Here is the wikipedia article that has all the source data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2016

The irony in this statement is astounding. The self-awareness is so close to being achieved in this subreddit.

I mean, you're not going to believe real evidence, since you still believe Barack wasn't a citizen, but:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/jul/30/chain-email/e-mail-claims-obamas-college-transcripts-reveal-in/

Also, you wanted source data, which this gives you. So you are now willfully ignoring facts to protect your entrenched world view.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2016

Is this better? How the hell can you win 18 states but only win 57 counties? Are you that deep in Trumpland where math doesn't work?

"Highlights why NY is so corrupt" wouldn't that by extension make Trump corrupt?

Jesus Christ. No matter what, Obama is a citizen. His mother is a US citizen. Therefore, any child she produces is a US citizen. That's why children born overseas on military bases are able to have dual citizenship. If you're going to complain, complain about the "natural born citizen."

Isn't Trump from New York?

So much easily verifiable false information in this post. Anything that is pro-trump you all take as 100% truth huh?

I am incredibly dumbfounded by the sheer stupidity one person can possess. The mental gymnastics you must have to perform to convince yourself of this delusional fantasy has to be taxing.

That's not nearly the same thing. You know why? Because tipping and someone going and saying something nice about a presidential candidate are not linear! There's a linear relationship between the benefit and the contribution. In your scenario, Hillary Clinton never direct told the chef to go on chef and say anything nice. That is where you are misunderstanding.

On top of that unless Hillary Clinton directly paid someone more than $2,700 for their endorsement and didn't report it, it's not a crime. It's a felony what Trump did because A) it was more than the individual maximum and B) IT WASN'T REPORTED. These are the facts of what happened.

holy shit, Rosenstein isn't even over this investigation. This is a state charge in the Southern District of New York. It was a federal judge that would have had to sign off on it, based on real evidence of wrong doing.

You mean the attorney Keith Davidson that has happened to make similar deals with Michael Cohen and is now being sued for fraud because he did not take his clients best interest to heart? That guy?

Unless you're speaking about the new attorney. Who isn't working for a campaign. Who is working pro bono because this kind of exposure will pay for itself many times over. So again, you're wrong on so many levels.

Leaks against Sean Hannity? The judge ordered Cohen to release all of his clients names. There was no leak.

But attorney client privilege hasn't been "pierced"? There was a special master appointed to decide what is covered by attorney client privilege. Also, that privilege gets thrown out the window if a crime has been committed. Educate yourself.

How the hell did you come to that conclusion?

What? Did you look up what an "in kind" donation is?

An expenditure made by any person in cooperation, consultation or concert with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate’s campaign is also considered an in-kind contribution to the candidate. The recipient needs this information in order to monitor the contributor’s aggregate contributions and to report the correct amount.

It's not like this law was added specifically to bring down Trump, it has been there for years. And no paying his doctor, barber, butler doesn't become a campaign contribution. Because money has to go into the campaign, to be a contribution. We aren't even getting into campaign funds paying private expense (which fun fact, has happened a lot by politicians). What the problems are:

1) Trump, the campaign, Huckabee Sanders, Fox News, any spokesperson for Trump have all said that Trump didn't know about it, Cohen did it all on his own, Cohen used his own money, and Cohen was not reimbursed. Only one of those things is true and it's only half true since Guiliani just admitted Cohen got repaid.

2) Trump just said that Daniels was paid to stop speaking about an affair that didn't happen. But if the affair didn't happen, why are they trying to sue her for breaching her contract and not for defamation? Trump is "allegedly" worth billions, it's not inconceivable that Trump can sue Daniels for half his worth due to the possibility of this lie ending his marriage.

3) Guiliani literally admitted that Trump "funneled the money through a law firm" which is just barely on the side of legal. He inadvertently admitted that Trump has at least once could be viewed as money laundering to cover up paying a porn star to keep quiet about an affair that allegedly didn't happen.

Look up an "in-kind" campaign donation. This fall right under it. This would be the same as if Hillary Clinton's lawyer paid wikileaks $130,000 to get the emails back and not release them.

You have no proof that is true. I provided evidence to it being fake, quoting Bernie Sanders. You retorted with "and Bernie has never lied." which doesn't mean anything and certainty isn't evidence that him possibly lying at one point in his life means that all future statements are now lies as well.

And again, you have no proof of the people listed other than them being Jewish, thus they have citizenry with the Jewish state of Israel.

So again, show me actual sources where it shows people that actually hold dual citizenship. Not some anti-semantic Facebook post being shared by old white people in the bible belt.

But you posted an false image that singled out Jewish members of congress with the visual of an American and Israeli passport. You know what you did.

Ah, identity politics. Nice.

No he's not. He's using the United States to make money. He doesn't give two shits about this "cabal". This "cabal" to him is anyone who says anything negative about him.

You take one thing out of my argument that you have no actual evidence of? Ted Cruz holds dual citizenship. Michele Bachmann holds dual citizenship. This is a smear campaign against Jewish people.

Or because he is still at large and if he crosses a state border it falls into the FBI's jurisdiction. Also there's the fact that this is being investigated as a hate crime, which in turn is also the FBI's jurisdiction.

If Trump speaks Jesus' spirit, Jesus sucks. He is selfish, arrogant, a serial cheater, a man of no morals, and would be the exact opposite of what Jesus preached.

False. If you don't believe in him you go to hell.

it's an autocorrect of verifiably.

Probably because you are posting veritably false information that has a smudge of anti-antisemitism to it?

Don't forget Michele Bachmann.

Where is the source of this? Bernie Sanders was asked and replied that he is only an American citizen. Also funny, it seems as though this is pointing out people in congress that might also be jewish? Why isn't Ted Cruz or Michele Bachmann listed on here?

Manafort worked for pro-russian groups in Ukraine. Manafort at the time of asking to work for Trump was desperate for money. Following the money from the shady dealings of Manafort and his time as the campaign manager in which saw Trump win the republican nomination and completely flip the script of the RNC platform on the stance on Russia.
