...is to simply claim a thing, consider the burden of proof to belong to anyone who wants to disagree with you, and then discredit any source of information that might be used in counter-argument as liberally-biased and/or part of a conspiracy against you.

I've dealt with that kind shit for well over a decade. Simply put, they fabricate sheer falsehoods out of thin air, reject, deny, or attempt to discredit all proof and FACTS to the contrary, and resort to personal attacks because they've been told of what they don't WANT to know.

.. like talking to a fkn rock.

Did ABC also deliberately give Trump word salad scripts or feed them into his earpiece so he'd talk like a raving lunatic? Harris' responses aren't what caused Trump to say all that crazy shit.

They were literally the topics of the last few months. She didn't need advanced warning, just a functioning campaign team. That Trump was so unprepared shows what a shit show his presidency would be. He is an unmade bed your dog crapped in 24/7.

Will practice and prepare if they’re serious. Study the material, have friends critique, etc. A campaign debate is basically a job interview. One candidate was serious, one was relying on bluster and bullshit

OTOH, I say Loomer gave Trump some *&*^%&%&T. Anybody can say anything. It means nothing without evidence, without proof, but WAY too many Americans forgot that over the last decade or so.

But I haven't, so SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE.
