Trump threatening NBC?

Intellectual integrity, but some of us don't take much stock in that, I suppose.

Intellectual integrity does not mean playing along with every petty demand. And it is precisely because intellectual integrity is so little valued here, that your judgement of it is not a benefit you are actually able to offer me.

But what of that has to do with the office of the president?

Had he lost the election, the results of his words would not be the same.

That has to do with the popularity of the office, not the office itself. The office is not its popularity.

Well, if that's how little respect you have for others here, I suppose you have no need to ever defend your own claims.

But in that case, we are no longer engaged in real conversation. Might as well just make **** up and ignore challenges.

Kinda consistent with our times, I suppose.

You could at least explain the ranking system you use that puts the influence of NFL players - who can apparently impact quality of life on a global scale simply by kneeling during the national anthem - over that of the guy who holds the most powerful office of the world.

Ha ha... I'm just kidding. Everyone knows you won't.

Pick a random Twitter fight and we can call it presidential!

Is it possible that "Presidential" will be the new stock punchline like "The Aristocrats"?

They may have bigger effects they do not matter more.

Bigger effects don't matter more?
I give you a dollar in exchange for your car and we will both be equally happy?

 

[fishbob]

Of course the President has more power than a message board poster. Hell just look back a couple of years to Obama siccing the IRS on conservative groups!

How silly to claim otherwise.

Debunked.

I wouldn't be happy. But I wouldn't say my happiness matters, either.

It matters to me, Bob.

Maybe this will make you happy:

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and You're not better than me.I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Asking for evidence to back up a claim is not a petty demand.
