We're quickly approaching a moment of reckoning where we'll all have to decide whom to believe: Donald Trump or every halfway responsible person who's ever worked near him.

Sadly, a not-insignificant portion will choose Trump.

That’s such a crock, this board is ALL about believe, what you believe and what I believe don’t always match, but 90% or more of all that is posted here is about personal beliefs and point of view.

If you believe that, it must be so.

At this moment, as of right now, what's your evidence that we can't believe US attorney Durham? What's your evidence that he's not trustworthy, as opposed to being an honorable and skilled prosecutor? We're all ears...all you have, is that he might make trouble for Trumps opponents, and that's all you need to know. Case closed.

You're not getting it Jim. It's all about belief. It's like a Muslim arguing with a Catholic. That discussion will get nowhere, except a fight. You have to understand that we are in the back end of a Post Modern age. There are no absolute truths. You have your truth and Pete has his truth. The concept of a philosophically Western style rational discussion based on reason and some semblance of basic values, or principles is of no use since those things don't exist. When it comes to differences, the only thing that matters is power. Who is the strongest, or can shout the loudest, or get the most followers to believe him, wins the argument.

Sea Dangles (and Got Stripers in his way) has it about right. There is no point to an actual discussion. Just say stuff. It's easier, and more fun.

i get all that. but when the libs here say the investigation is a sham, i’m just asking what they base that belief on? because they don’t know a single thing about the investigation yet, som curious as to how they’ve come to believe it’s a sham, based on zero knowledge.

if a muslim asks me why i prefer catholicism, i can articulate very specific reasons why, point to actual evidence that actually exists.

these guys can’t. i’ve asked them all, and except for GS, they completely dodged.
