I have a more pragmatic view of meaning (and so truth). When considering whether or not “this sentence is short” is true I count the letters. When con...

Perhaps because the first has some determinant truth-condition (even if arbitrary, e.g. fewer than 10 letters) whereas the second doesn’t. I’m partial...

He used subpoenas to obtain and release to the public Parnas' and Giuliani's call records. Nunes' inclusion is incidental.
December 05, 2019 at 22:04
The House Intel committee tells The Daily Beast that they did not subpoena the phone records for Devin Nunes or John Solomon. Parnas and Giuliani were...
December 05, 2019 at 20:47
That’s diplomacy. Politicians lie in public because it serves some end. If you want to know the truth look at what they say and do when they don’t thi...

I doubt that. This is the story in question. The crux of it is: "A lawyer for an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani told CNN that his client is willi...

If a sentence being true is for it to correspond to a fact and being false is for it to not correspond to a fact then we can rewrite the liar sentence...

It wasn't legal though. The State Department knew that which is why they started releasing it.

The HIC has released a draft of their impeachment report. Summary Full Looks like Nunes is implicated in Giuliani and Parnas' efforts in Ukraine.

Here's the article I recalled:

Is that related to the lawyer who changed the wording in an email? I think I recall reading that Horowitz referred it to Durham as potentially crimina...

This claim appears false: And even one of your own quotes calls the OMB's claim into question: So we have a good reason not to trust the OMB spokeswom...

‘Of course I did’: Giuliani acknowledges asking Ukraine to investigate Biden
November 26, 2019 at 18:47
And both Holmes and Vindman corrected him, testifying that Sondland specifically mentioned "the Biden investigation" after his call with Trump and whe...

They had a one-child policy and now have a two-child policy.

Well, Giuliani, along with Parnas and Fruman, are being accused by a Ukrainian oligarch of " to use their connections at the Department of Justice to ...

He still is.
November 25, 2019 at 16:39
Actually, the anti-Trump stuff is true. It's the pro-Trump stuff that's propaganda. You can trust me on this.
November 25, 2019 at 16:35
But did he say anything to disparage those with addictions, etc.? Just curious why you suggest that there's some element of hypocrisy here.
November 25, 2019 at 13:21
Has he said something about drugs/rehab/mental illness?
November 25, 2019 at 11:00
https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1198352974000644097 So if Trump throws Giuliani under the bus then his insurance is to release damaging inform...

How is this so hard to understand? Trump demanded that Ukraine announce investigations into Burisma and the Bidens so that he can damage a political r...

It's crazy how no evidence at all is enough for you to think an investigation into possible Biden-Burisma corruption is warranted but that despite all...
November 23, 2019 at 17:55
And Trump's phone call?
November 23, 2019 at 17:52
Did you miss Holmes' testimony?
November 23, 2019 at 17:51
Ah, so a troll by definition. Glad that's finally in the open.
November 23, 2019 at 17:47
Sondland's deposition suggests otherwise. https://www.npr.org/2019/11/05/776170895/read-the-deposition-by-gordon-sondland-u-s-ambassador-to-the-europe...

It'll be a good day when Nunes, Graham, and McConnell are no longer in Congress. Those three really are the worst.

This must be satire.

But this wouldn’t be announcing an investigation of a candidate. It’s an investigation of a Ukraine company, and they explicitly say that there’s no e...
