I just posted three stories from CNN about Harris avoiding the media.

So does that mean it is a lie that she is avoiding the media?

What is your source for the truth?

And no vague meaningless answers like "I do my own research". In order to do research you have to have sources to go to. So what are your sources for the "truth"?

For example, why do you believe that Hillary Clinton started the Trump/Russia investigation instead of the report from Alexander Downer? what is your source for that "truth"?



Prove to me that Rene Descartes existed. Prove that you have not been deceived.

Over 70 years of experience and dealing with people.
I've been a people watcher all my life, and spent my career in sales, heavy technical industry and management. After 'retirement', I spent time consulting with Fortune 50 corporations.
Most of my industrial experience involved interfacing with EPA, OSHA and local, State and Federal agencies.
I don't watch commercial television, preferring to listen to committee hearings and read from innumerable sources.
I've lived all over the country and the world.

I asked for your source for the truth. How does any of this tell you the truth about how the Trump/Russia investigation started?


Are you finally admitting that you just make up your "truth" in your head based on what you want it to be?

I don't have to. This is not a philosophical debate about existence and the limits of knowledge.

You also have made claims. We are both bound by same the limits of knowledge. So in this debate your positions would become just as meaningless as mine.

So learn the difference and stop wasting our time. Trump can't go into a courtroom and beat these charges by quoting Descartes.

When you grow up and graduate high school, you will realize that two things things people do very well is lie and conspire.

If you rely on any news media for factual information, you are putting your faith in liars and conspirators.

The only thing that enables a thinking person to determine truth is years of experience.

Another name for that is wisdom, which you have not yet had enough experience to develop.

So I am asking again.

What "experience" do you have that allows you to know the truth about what really started the Russia/Trump investigation?

If you don't watch the news then what do you do? Just sit and make stuff up in your head? What is your source of knowledge about what is happening in the world around you? You don't have the resources to investigate everything personally. So what is your source of "truth"?
