No you don’t. You are constantly being provided with evidence that refutes your various claims but you have an agenda and a worldview that is immune to facts and truth. If you don’t want to believe something, you simply won’t believe it.

Your self perception is 180 degrees away from the way most of us see you.

Edit:  Or better still, pick which of the above you think has the most evidence and we can discuss that.

This is a pro level setup against a "laundry list" argument. Nice.

EDIT: Genuine praise, not sarcasm

Thanks. 

I also respect your style of argument, and if you pay attention to your "Vote up"s, you've seen that I've given you quite a few, even though I know we've disagreed on things.

Good to see that, for once, Putin is actually helping the US to achieve its goals in Afghanistan (withdrawal)

Pompeo defends handling of Russia bounty intelligence

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended the administration's handling of the intelligence concerning Russia's offering of bounties to Afghan militants for killing American military personnel Wednesday, saying that the US "responded in precisely the correct way."

We responded in precisely the correct way with respect to making sure that our forces were postured appropriately, that they were aware of the level of the threat, the credibility of the threat, and that we were there," Pompeo said at a press conference at the State Department.

Multiple administration officials have claimed that President Donald Trump was not briefed on intelligence about the bounty program because it was unverified.

Cheers.
Just a thought - it would be a good scoop to hand out MAGA face masks at Mt Rushmore.

I actually DON'T support Trump (see my signature).

You deny the Skirpal poisoning.  You deny the Syrian chemical attack.  You deny Russian election interference.

Here is what I am predicting the world to look like in January 2021:

1. President elect Joe Biden Kamala Harris

2. The US virus situation still out of control, with 1-10k over 10k new cases a day and no effective federal level response

3. BLM protest still simmering but no fully blown civil unrest

4. Expose/cancel/dox operation in full swing on social media - like a metoo on steroids but covering all PC angles

5. The US global influence greatly diminished as a result of internal turmoil, China filling in the void

6. China moving to assert more control over Taiwan - economic warfare, travel restrictions, pressure on all 3rd parties to cut Taiwan loose

7. China taking control over the Paracels and Spratlys - harassing maritime trade, imposing no-fly zones, chasing other claimants navies away etc

8. Europe clueless as usual, the EU on its last legs, China expoiting the divisions

No signature bets but feel free to post your predictions

I liked Trump's non-PC style but he is a shit crisis time leader. Much of the covid drama in the US is a consequence of our individualism fetish and was inevitable but Trump picked the wrong PR strategy and is now stuck with it, looking more and more stupid by the day.
