In discussing Trump's impeachment you pointed me to Schiff’s hypocrisy. That's the same as saying, "What about Schiff?" Whataboutism. Look it up. "Wha...

Schiff is a small part of the prosecution. The evidence was presented by a slue or host of non-Schiffs. Speak to the evidence. Speak to the facts. If ...

Directing your interlocutor from the facts of the case to the personalities presenting the facts is whataboutism par excellence. "Trump committed act ...

This impeachment isn't about Schiff. It's about the facts. Like every politician, Schiff is a hypocrite. So was Obama, the Bushes, the Clintons, and r...

Yeah, I've seen it. It's troublesome. It's also whataboutism. A logical fallacy.

Can you provide a reference for this assertion?

I don't believe you.

Parroting involves repeating transfactual, emotion-laden statements popularized by the mass media - in your case Fox News.

In intellectual circles, we call it "providing source material." A notion obviously offensive you - and to Trumpsters in general.

Please provide details and source material to support this accusation.

Can you provide a reference detailing the scope and substance of "Schiff's lies?"

A broadbrush lie. Those are fun.

A lie. "Other Trump allies have been parroting this line in recent days. The most obvious problem with this reasoning is that, as others have pointed ...

Fat chance of that. The defense will willfully eschew direct confrontation with the facts. Expect a cocktail of Kavanoise and whataboutism.

Sounds like a course in a late 21st Century Theology curriculum.

90% support among Republicans. It can't be ignored.

I've been watching a LOT of Fox News lately. Keeping a finger on the pulse of the nation, sadly.

Here's an op-ed defending your position. Quotes from McConnell and Graham included https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/479095-senator-jurors-who-may...

Fox News' destructive influence is precisely why Graham and McConnell are convinced they can get away with this. Fox News defends, even congratulates,...

Lindsey Graham said something similar. It's the tack the hardcore Trumpsters are taking. It's a hoax and undeserving of an impartial hearing.

No need to resign when Fox News has Trump's base calling the impeachment a charade or hoax or (Hannity's favorite) a "Shiff Sham show."

It should be easy to Google. It was a televised Q and A. It was all over the news in the States.

I'm sure the Senate Ethics Committee will get right on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_from_the_United_States_Congress

Is it your position that it's fine and dandy for McConnell to set impartiality aside for this trial? Any concerns with the precedent this sets? Try to...

Yes, he said it. That was a video of him saying it. Let me try again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfvle0OdlgM

Four parts: An opinion, two lies and an opinion. Fox News is looking for new recruits. Time to cash in on your parrot-mind.

The case is "doomed in the " because McConnell is happy to subvert his oath to be an impartial juror. He said it himself: "I'm not an impartial juror....

You get what Fox News talking points deserve.

A quote without a reference. Typical.

Someone's been hitting the Hannity a little too hard.

The word 'orison' is an interesting variant. Connected to 'oratory,' and older than 'pray.'

Wish-list prayers aren't the only kind. There's prayers of thanks, praise, apology, confession, etc, and also just soliloquizing: a kind of talk thera...

If prayer makes you feel better and it's rational to try to feel better is it rational not to pray?

Was Trump, in your view, "totally exonerated"?

A lie. "Mueller: President Trump was not 'totally exonerated' in Russia probe and can be indicted after he leaves office" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07...
