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

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

    I pointed out that what you wanted evidence for was not something that was specifically asserted in the thread

    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.

        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.

            You really can’t tolerate people asking for evidence, holy shit.

              See now you’re obviously trolling.

              All it would take is one little

              But musk and Thiel are in the Mueller report!

              But you can’t even do that to refute. I’m asking for quotes because the links you provided did not contain the information you claimed. I’d quote you on the missing info, but that’s logically impossible, something I’m sure you’re keenly aware of, since you’ve gone back though the thread and realized that no one asserted that Musk or Thiel are in the Mueller report, which is why you can’t quote it back to me.

                Nope. I provided the evidence you asked for. You ignored it.

                Remember that you are acting this way, including posting wannabe anime villain lines like “Fade away buddy, it’s the only face you have left.” because I dared to ask for evidence.

                  Look at that, you can’t quote the thing that doesn’t exist.

                  Tell you what. I’ve dealt with this before. Quote it, put it here and I’ll admit I’m wrong. I’ll go back and edit every post that I’m wrong, and I’ll apologize to you… Big win for you. But if you fail to quote, from this thread, something that amounts to “the Mueller report contains evidence of Musk and Thiel conspiring with Russians”, and it’s not one of my example posts, then it’s a tacit admission that you’ve built a strawman, you know you’ve built a strawman, and you aren’t arguing in good faith.

                  Gauntlet has been thrown. Are you gonna pick it up, or are you gonna walk away?

                    I already proved what you asked for. You ignored it.
