Why is the message necessarily irrefutable if it's merely an opinion?

There are multiple sources (i.e. not just AT that others have singled out).  I don't know if anyone knows for certain, but the examples are coming fast and furious of Old Joe's decline and the fact that he is mostly being kept away from the public and media.  Decide for yourself, but he has appeared to have aged in just the few months he has been in the WH.

It is natural for some to attack the messenger when the message is irrefutable.  It reminds me of what a far leftie on CNN (or MSNBC) said after Trump ordered the elimination of Iranian general;  "Correct action.....wrong President"....LOL.

 

  Not attacking the messenger, pointing out that they are known for low factual reporting and and extreme right wing bias. Where people choose to obtain their messages is also as important as what they would say.  Thus I choose to ignore them, not attack them. I gave American Thinker credit recently for at least getting out of the very low category, but they still need to improve significantly before they become a site that most people take seriously and base discussion around.

Hmm, weren't the NYTimes/WaPo/CNN also promoting conspiracy theories and pseudoscience?  By this standard all news sources are questionable.

 

  Those sites are all biased, but none of those outlets are down at the level of American Thinker, although as I've said on several occasions, I don't use any of them.

 

  My post was specific in regards to the claim that American Thinker could have a best seller in the works. It's debatable if they do, but what isn't really debatable is their track record would make that a better fit for the fiction category.

Time will tell......and I think that time will come sooner rather than later.

Because it follows a narrative that is popular on Earth 2.

Thank you. I have enjoyed my return to Earth 1, personally.

That's part of the problem. I do not like doing whataboutism, but think back to all the psychiatrists and mental health care professionals shouting about Trump's cognitive decline, narcissistic personality disorder, etc. to any news outlet that would listen. If you only look at those sources -- some of which were pretty neutral, like the AP -- you'd think Trump was insane and in the early stages of Alzheimer's. But Trump's defenders -- and quite a few who had no skin in the game -- said that's just made up garbage to trash the guy who's not "your guy."  I mean, many of us saw supercuts of Trump looking like he had suffered serious mental decline. But you have to look not only at what you're seeing (or think you're seeing), but who is presenting it to you. A lot of these Biden outtakes are like the Trump outtakes -- packaged to look like he's lost his marbles. 

 

It's possible to spin heroes into villains, sinners into saints. There's the old saying from McLuhan that I learned in my semiotics class: the medium is the message. Both need to be examined.

We shall see, but Biden's handlers and Kamala are keeping a tight lid on his exposure to the media.  Added to that is the continued suggestion by Nancy P. that she should be in the chain of command with respect to the nuclear football.  I could see why she was doing that when Trump was in office, but why do it now with Biden.   I understand he has some sort of address tomorrow, not sure if he will be answering questions, but if so, I assume they will be pre-approved and loaded on the teleprompter.  We can only go on what we see, I still think two years and a day.

Nancy is 80 now and not much better off than Joe.  God help us.

These people have no business being in the chain of command for use of nuclear weapons.  Believe me, there would be no time for a committee vote.  

When I served on missile launch crew duty from 1978 thru1987, I told my wife "If I ever call you while I'm on alert, and I say the words "Pumpkin Pie", immediately throw the kids in the car and head south as fast as you can."  We had their bags packed and ready.

Fortunately, I never had to use the code.

I can neither confirm nor deny anything else ......😃

   The inconsistency is Trump could run again in 2024 at age 78 with similar cognitive issues to Biden and many of the people who are raising "questions" about Biden won't have any problem supporting Trump.

I really don’t see Trump running again, but one never knows.

I’m not into conspiracy theories at all. But I do believe there was careful planning in choosing Harris as Biden’s running mate. She is the backup/future plan. Joe appears frail.

Biden voters will believe it too when she replaces him, they'll going to feel they were swindled, which means paid Democrats are going to have to mail in tens of millions more fraudulent ballots to cover these disgruntled voters in 2024.
