The Enemy List:

[The Barbarian]

Barbarian asks:
If your argument depends on equivocation, isn't that an important clue about your argument?

I actually didn't make an argument, I made an assertion: Brennan's a traitor.

Yes, an unsupported accusation of treason. But your argument is that you can equivocate a colloquial usage in place of the legal definition.

For the third time, I did not make an accusation of treason.

A traitor is a person who commits treason. That's how it's defined.

If your argument depends on putting fictional words in my mouth,

It's not a fictional word. It has a legal definition, and you've equivocated a colloquial usage for the obvious reason.

(unsupported claims of an Obama "enemies list" like those of Trump and Nixon)

Barbarian observes:
You've been misled about that. The only other president known to compile such a list for the purpose of "getting even" with people was Richard Nixon. Again, equivocation is not your friend.

It's well documented.

But you can't find any of that documentation? Isn't that an important clue?

Wow. This is one of the strangest debates I've ever had on CF. Have a nice day, Barb.

I take it that you can't find that "documentation", then? Apparently, neither can anyone else.

Have a nice day, Barb.

You too.

Petty and vengeful. No wonder most Americans no longer trust him.

I don't have to go further to call FAKE NEWS.
"Trump is making the skies fall, the earth burn and the animals die."
Instead of giving a thrill up Chris Matthew's leg, he gives him gas.

These people who may lose their clearance deserve nothing
less, as they have abused the privilege (not a right) given them.

You should try find the other sources of information. The ones you use now are very untruthful.

What do 175 government security specialist know? Trump said they wrong!

So you don't have any other enemies lists? That's what I told you.

Since D'Souza is an admitted felon, it seems odd to consider his case as an "enemies list."

Dinesh D’Souza Sentenced in Manhattan Federal Court to Five Years of Probation for Campaign Finance Fraud

Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that DINESH D’SOUZA was sentenced in Manhattan federal court to five years of probation, with eight months during the first year to be served in a community confinement center, after having pled guilty to violating the federal campaign election law by making illegal contributions to a United States Senate campaign in the names of others. D’SOUZA was sentenced today before U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman.

Keep draining the swamp....

You'll let us know when he starts doing that, right? Because as far as i can tell President Trump is pro-swamp and has been since day on when he put the swamp in charge of running the government.
tulc(doesn't think spreading the swamp everywhere can be considered as "draining")

Dismissing isn't refuting.
