    Damn, you really can’t tolerate someone asking for evidence can you?

      Can you provide evidence of me being intolerant of evidence so I can see if I’m actually intolerant of evidence? Or are you just making shit up and hoping that no one actually checks?

          So let me get this straight.

          You claimed you read the Mueller report.

          I have, it didn’t provide any of the evidence you claim, hence why you can’t actually point to any.

          When you obviously haven’t, and then when I pointed out what the Mueller report actually said about the president’s criminal behavior, your response was…

          Please cite the part of the Mueller report that backs up the claim of a “Russian Intelligence Operation That Hooked Musk And Thiel”

          I pointed out that what you wanted evidence for was not something that was specifically asserted in the thread, so you then linked a comment from a different thread, which didn’t even back up your point to begin with, it was just another comment saying that you should read the Mueller report.

          And you think I’m the one that is intolerant to evidence?

            This was not about the president. This was about the actual topic of the post.

            Actually it was.

            And you think I’m the one that is intolerant to evidence?

            Yes, given that you are deliberately straw-manning me to attack me asking for evidence.

              Do you have any evidence of me building a strawman to attack you?

              PS. You built a strawman when you complained about Thiel and Musk not being in the Mueller report, something that was not asserted in the thread, nor was it a defined scope or goal of the Mueller report, which was the conclusion of investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 General Election.

                Yes, the post I replied to.

                PS. You built a strawman when you complained about Thiel and Musk not being in the Mueller report

                Nope, that was the explicit claim made.

                something that was not asserted in the thread

                It was, you have simply chosen to deny the evidence of your own eyes.

                nor was it a defines scope or goal of the Mueller report, which was the conclusion of investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 General Election.

                Correct, which is why is isn’t evidence for this post.

                  See, now you’re just attacking your own strawman again.

                  Also you can post all the links you want to obfuscate the actual information you are referring to. Can you quote the actual words, where someone in this thread said something along the lines of “There is evidence in the Mueller report that Thiel and Musk were compromised by Russian agents”? Obviously disregarding my own example quote.

                  Without actually producing that assertion, your complaints about a lack of evidence for it, is the exact moment that you built a strawman argument.

                  Fade away buddy, it’s the only face you have left.

                    I did, you pretended it didn’t exist.
