Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

That would also be an opinion but would at least be make some sense in that they are stating their opinion. How can they rate something as true or not without objective evidence one way or the other? If it an opinion then just say something like disputed. Jason Isaac is entitled to his opinion and they to theirs but neither can be called an objective fact based on that. To say simply that the CDC doesn't list it as a cause of death is silly and childish. This is a very good example of why the so called fact checkers are nothing but a form of opinion journalism.
They gave examples why it wasn't a death. Do you know of any legal definition that say it is a death?
I just found a new supply of forks!

I did not see any objective examples, only opinions. How does a legal definition make it an objective fact? The legal definitions reflect the opinions of those writing them.

"Our ruling

Isaac told the voters guide that abortion is "the leading cause of death for black Americans and kills as many as 1,000 black children every day."

Opinions about this claim likely divide over Isaac’s definition of a fetus as a child--and by Isaac’s reasoning, we find this claim has an element of truth in that black women in 2014 accounted for about 711 U.S. abortions a day.

In fact, however, heart disease was the leading cause of death for black and other Americans in 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency didn’t list the abortion procedure among causes of death."

Opinions will divide.... In fact however....

I am not sure what you are missing but there is no way to show this as a fact. This seems to boil down to your previous confusion about what makes something  a fact and what makes something an opinion.

Based on all currently available evidence, are rainbows more or less beautiful than Trump?

From a purely legal standpoint my understanding is that SCOTUS is not a finder of fact.

SCOTUS already said it was not a life. They consider it a "potential life" IIRC in the 2-3rd trimester.

gives new meaning for a life changing decision. That is about as ridiculous of a statement as I have ever heard from you. It would mean that if suddenly there are a couple more social conservative justices on the court it would mean that objective facts changed. That is utterly ridiculous.

Meaning if new evidence came to light or if suddenly the flat earth society took control of SCOTUS? How does a fact change based upon who the seven justices on SCOTUS are?
