    The arbiters of whether or not these claims are “true” are the organisations whose job it is to investigate them. They have access to information upon which to base their judgements whereas you do not. Hence, it’s more reasonable to accept their findings rather than rely on the word of a man such as Trump protecting his own personal interests.
    Apparently members of the local police force seem to think that you are an international uranium smuggler. They, of course, being in charge of investigating such crimes, no doubt know better than you the truth of the matter.

      Oh pulease! This has been established with a "high level of confidence" by the US Intelligence Agencies has it? Because they have 'a high level of confidence' that Putin personally oversaw Russia’s attack on the US election.

      • It has gotten to the point where I can no longer take liberals seriously, because I have trouble believing that anybody could actually be this stupid and ignorant, yet they're pretending to be for reasons that I don't entirely understand.

        Look, guys, you can convince yourselves all you want that Trump is an illegitimate president, but Trump doesn't believe it, and he's not going to govern like it. That's a dead end narrative that's just going to marginalize liberals.

            Actually I asked him the question before about why he lived in Thailand, a highly religious country when his beliefs dictate that religion is a bad thing. Apparently Australia, a secular country isn't good enough for him while Thailand, a Buddhist country is the place he chooses to live.

              Well, I do know some liberals who would disagree with Tassman and his assessments. Sargon of Arkkad on youtube being one of them who would consider him to be a member of the regressive left.

                Oh, I hope they keep it up for a long, long time. I just don't understand why liberals find such a pointless narrative so attractive.

                  Interestingly, Trump is the very person who spent the last eight years bitching about how Obama was NOT a “legitimate president” either and questioning Obama's birth certificate. The difference is that there was never any real doubt about Obama’s legitimacy whereas...........

                    The only people questioning Trump's legitimacy are liberal morons who can't stand the fact that he won.

                      So you, like Trump, must be a conservative moron for questioning Obamas legitimacy because you couldn't stand the fact that he won? The Republicans modis operandi is to always accuse the opposition of doing the evil when it is actually they themselves who are doing it. Trump has learned this tactic well. Trump is a creator of fake news, remember his; "I have people in Hawai and you wouldn't believe what they are finding," accept he never had people in Hawai, and they never found anything. Trump and the Russian's pulled it off, he is going to be the president whether legit or not, but don't fool yourself into believing that Trump himself is legit, the only legitimate thing about Trump is that he is a fraud, a con man, and a thief who will now be President, elected by some of the most politically naive, easily conned, people in the world

                        I never questioned Obama's legitimacy, only his competence, and I think my doubts on that score have been more than justified.

                        Oh, but I do love the narrative that Hillary would have won if only the email leaks hadn't proven how rotten she really was.

                          Actually you did doubt the legitimacy of his birth certificate:

                          To be fair, it could be genuine, but there are enough oddities in the file to create reasonable doubt.

                              Oh, so on what did you base your confidence that his birth certificate was legitimate despite its questionable authenticity and this reasonable doubt?

                                I considered it a non-issue.
