It's a Samsung Galaxy using Google Chrome. When I try to search it makes suggestions and I am limited to the search suggestions.Interesting. Out of curiosity is it an android or iphone and are you using a browser or built in app?
Huh. Thanks for that. Useful info in my line of work.It's a Samsung Galaxy using Google Chrome. When I try to search it makes suggestions and I am limited to the search suggestions.
I just googled "Trump confidential documents" and I got the following, these were all the first links in my search resultsOdd. I found it rather easily.
Trump received subpoena in spring for documents not turned over: Sources
Trump lawyer claimed no classified material was at Mar-a-Lago in signed letter to Justice Department - CNNPolitics
Must be that partisan google filter.![]()
It won't matter that his lies have been debunked. Millions of his followers only watch and read info. from FoxNews, OAN, etc. They only hear what he says and hang on to it for dear life.Trump defended himself after the search by saying he declassified the documents and claiming the Biden administration weaponized the agency. He has also claimed without evidence that former President Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, with “much” of them being classified.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has also debunked Trump’s claim, saying it maintains classified Obama records in a government facility in the Washington, D.C., area.
The OJ Simpson defense. The evidence was planted.The Trump defence strategy appears to be twofold. One part is the catch-all claim that anything bad must have been planted by the FBI. That is an extraordinary scorched-earth path to take in the absence of any evidence
I had a Christian friend, a dear lady, who labeled any news source other than OAN and a few others "mainstream media" or MSM. To her, anything and everything reported in MSM was suspect and likely a lie. The fact that I would even read an article from a MSM site made my confession of faith suspect. In the beginning, FOX was considered a trusted site until Trump had issues with them over a couple of articles and started calling them "fake news." From then on, FOX was MSM.It won't matter that his lies have been debunked.

Thanks for sharing the story of one misguided individual.

She would forward me reams of articles from obscure YouTube channels or prophecy websites that she would blindly trust. I would take the time to go through each one and test what they had to say. Every time I found factual errors. When I shared these with her, she would not respond. Her later defense was that she didn't have time to read my critiques. She did have time though to forward dozens of emails every day often commenting on them. At one point she told me that she had long ago done her due diligence and these were now trusted sources she no longer needed to verify.
She also had bizarre supposed insiders who got her information. One was supposedly the personal vet for Obama's pets. How on earth would the family vet know anything? I'm sure aids or interns dropped off the pets or the vet was taken to a visitor part of the White House. She also had sources who "knew people" in sensitive areas of the government. Naturally, these people could not be identified as it would expose them and that source of insider information would be lost.
During the post-election denial, she fed me one conspiracy theory after another. None of them proved to be true but she has never acknowledged that. The more I shined the light on the truth, the less she wanted to respond. She was also into endless End Times speculation. I finally had to part ways with her. Several times I asked her to quit sending me information but she would stop for a few days and then be right back at it. She told me she was one of a small group of "watchmen" appointed by God and given special discernment. It was her calling, as a watchman, to pass on information. I was blinded and could not see but she could. It was at once amusing and profoundly sad. She was so brainwashed into a way of thinking that she could no longer think for herself. She is a loving Christian woman who I greatly admire in many ways but hopelessly brainwashed when it came to all things Trump and End Times.
Not at all! She was just one person. I expect people to disagree. That's normal. It helps if we can discuss our disagreements without getting offended. I tried to discuss with her but it didn't work so I let it go. I didn't want to lose a friend over it.Thanks for sharing the story of one misguided individual.

I think it's called confirmation bias. Some people only accept news that appeals to their point of view. You can find them on both sides.Not at all! She was just one person.

Totally agree. She was just an extreme example.I think it's called confirmation bias. Some people only accept news that appeals to their point of view. You can find them on both sides.
This is part of the problem, the attempt to divide the world up into two sides.I think it's called confirmation bias. Some people only accept news that appeals to their point of view. You can find them on both sides.
They are not getting all their news from biased sources. We were discussing people who are.This is part of the problem, the attempt to divide the world up into two sides.
What about the neutrals? The people that don't care about R vs C?
The people that are just interested in the news because they want to know what is going on in the world.
It's hard to find any sources that are not biased. Many people who think they are neutral are still watching biased sources. But probably not extremes.Correction "exclusively from biased sources..."
This is exactly why it is a dubious thing to mix religion and politics. The absolute certainty of one’s Faith fused with the day-to-day political wranglings corrupts both into a veritable chimera of thought.I had a Christian friend, a dear lady, who labeled any news source other than OAN and a few others "mainstream media" or MSM.

Lots of people go out of their way to seek "both sides" of a story.It's hard to find any sources that are not biased. Many people who think they are neutral are still watching biased sources. But probably not extremes.
