Reasons, evidence and facts should be easy to provide for an authority it will work a lot better than writing stuff like: "Sorry, bro. This is what I do for a living.

But keep telling yourself that the two top members of the Senate Intelligence Committee who despise Trump and would never lie for him or twist the truth in his favor don't know what they're talking about.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, but the republican chairman knows better. There is plenty of evidence whether he sees it as "factual" or not. As for your second point, and just to show how misinformed you are, in Helsinki, Putin himself said that the Russians favored Trump in the election and when you put that together with the fact that they interfered then they obviously interfered in order to help Trump win.

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostNo, that's not how the fallacy works. Especially when the explanations have been given. And my expertise had been demonstrated multiple times here on the topic.
Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostSomething more than telling someone how absurd it is to claim a powered off and disassembled server can be hacked? Do I really need to give you a lesson on network availability and how a hard drive works? Seriously?
Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostIn matters of utter absurdity, like claiming a powered off and disassembled server can be accessed from another country via the Internet, nothing more is necessary. That you don't accept that isn't my problem.
