Anteater applying balance to the discussion like dropping 2 pounds of bricks onto one end of a teeter-totter because by god he ain't gonna be fooled into thinking that the one pound of feathers on the other side is heavier.

Or you could, you know, actually respond to arguments made to you directly. Especially since I went to the trouble of explaining something that you seemingly weren't able to figure out on your own.

Another insult from Ant.

P.S. Just because you put a smilie emoticon on something doesn't erase your intent.

You guys ignore my arguments and cherry pick whenever it's convenient, like what Elph did there. You are in no position to lecture anyone.

Do you understand the definition of "lecture"?

Just like you can't be bothered to have a real argument? If you want to convince me collusion is fine and dandy, why didn't you just quote my last post and go from there? Could have saved a lot of time.

We live in a world where key players in the NBA believe the Earth is flat. I'm not surprised by anythin' no'mohhh.

I wasn't asking you about the differences in scale, and that wasn't what my last post to you was talking about either. I read the article too before I ever posted it originally. I'm talking about the precedent it sets since nobody from the DNC suffered any consequences for colluding with a foreign power. Whether you win or lose the election shouldn't matter: it's still a problem that it happened at all.

This would be a different story if the Jr. email stuff had come out before the Politico one with Clinton-Ukraine had, but that's not how things played out. It was already going to be hard to prove collusion, treason, whatever in regards to Trump himself. This precedent with the DNC and Ukraine is going to get pushed very hard by the White House and Mueller's lawyers are going to have to overcome the legal issues I described to you a few pages back.

At this rate, we might as well pray for Trump to have a heart attack or something. I also wouldn't be surprised if a Bernie Bro ended up assassinating him.

He's such a smart guy: I don't get why he takes things so personally. If you can't discuss politics or religion without threatening someone for elaborating on their point of view (I did a few explanation posts on the solar wall stuff and also the legal challenges of this collusion situation), then he just needs to take a break from those types of threads. Me? I love politics.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with his stance, or yours; merely answering the question he asked, and pointing out the alternative if he wants to use it.

Be careful you two, too much irony can lead to liver disease.
