Another dumb thing the president has done in order to distract from how shitty he is. Also the democrats haven't really reacted in the way the meme implies. Useless_Aether is a propaganda account who lives up to their name

Useless_Aether is a propaganda account who lives up to their name

Watch this: attacking the person making the argument (presuming the account is not set up solely for propaganda purposes by an organization) is an argumentative fallacy.

Even if this person is wrong 9 times out of 10 it does not necessarily mean they are wrong on this point.

But he is wrong on this point

Still an argument against the person, not the point itself. Take a look at the pyramid of debate.

Take a look at Hitchen's razor.

But you made a claim as well, three actually. One about the president, one about the OP and another about the reaction of Democratics

You clearly don't understand how this works. If the OP makes a random claim with no source then I am free to do the same. It's their job to prove the initial claim before I obligated to do a thing. You guys keep going on about the rules of argument but you clearly either don't actually know them or only care when it serves you.

In the case of a claim with no source you're absolutely correct. We've since provided sources. Your turn.

I have not been provided a source.
