Fake News; Buzz Feed...

He quite obviously dismissed them as irrational ravings, Charles.

Of course he dismissed them, that's why I labeled his ilk sociopaths.

Likewise Seer, I'm grateful for the inclusive welcome here. I've had mental health issues for well over 20 years, and tWeb even allowed me to be a Mod.. wa-ay back. I believe there are others here, including prominent contributors and staff, who also have mental health issues, and doubtless many members. I'm so glad you've highlighted this in a caring and compassion manner.

Perhaps you're not familiar with the nuances of 'merican English, but on this side of the pond, "mentally challenged" means "stupid", not "has mental health issues".

...and rogue is not wrong.

Trolling duly noted.

In your scenario the actual terrorist is the one who refuses to budge an inch, rejects all offers of compromise even before hearing what it is and tries to sneak off on junkets leaving the American people in the lurch. And that isn't Trump.

That's exactly who it is. He could reopen the government tomorrow.

Here are the facts:

https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/...-cohen-report/

Breitbart wrote this report before the dirty cop quashed the rumor, and they nailed it. This story was fake news from the beginning.

As for Mueller, his long history as a corrupt investigator is well-documented.

Only by a highly questionable, extreme right-wing source. What is well documented is the universal esteem in which war veteran Robert Mueller is held. This as opposed to traitorous, draft-dodger Donald Trump

The shutdown could have been avoided entirely if Trump didn't decide to shut it down, and to own it. Trump is also the only one that can reopen the government without conditions. You know what that means don't you? It means Trump is holding 800,000 workers and about a million and a half of their family members, not to mention the subcontractors and business owners that are indirectly effected, HOSTAGE. Should we negotiate with hostage takers? I don't think we should encourage that sort of thing from a wannabe dictator, do you?

And the first thing the Democrats did was go on holiday to Puerto Rico. The shutdown could have been ended weeks ago if the Democrats were willing to negotiate and compromise.

Fake news.

And don't forget his close ties to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

Mueller is about as dirty as they come.

Democrats are perfectly willing to negotiate, but they are not willing to negotiate, and so succumb to the will of a terrorist hostage taker. What don't you understand about hostage negotiations?

That is a ridiculous conclusion to draw from that. He wasn't in bed with the oligarch over acquiring personal wealth and power like Trump is. He was trying to rescue a fellow colleague captured by Iran and the oligarch proved useful to that end. You are just messed up if you think that counts as being 'dirty'.

No they're not. They ran away to a tropical vacation, tried to sneak off to Europe, and refused to even look at Trump's offer.

Having mental problems is a prerequisite for being a moderator on theologyweb.

I thought the 'human shields' thing was a bit over the top!

Trump's a terrorist now, so...
