ill help you slow it down.  It was algebraic

DJT is POTUS = truth

MadDog MCShea said "the [truth] has a liberal bias"

that mk05 guy(assuming gender, i know) simply substituted for [truth]

if that doesn't make sense then your initial quote is a fallacy meaning this whole thread is null

have a nice day.

Yeah, none of that makes sense because the phrase “facts have a liberal bias” is not meant to be true in the first place. It’s a sarcastic phrase used by liberals to explain why idiot Trump supporters (assuming that’s you?, just assuming...) always believe the lies Trump spews.

The original post is meant to humorously highlight the fact that our President lies like a Persian rug, even to our own troops.

Notice my reference to him as President. A fact that any reasonable human being is lamenting significantly at this point...

Also, your comment is off topic. Care to refute or voice any opinions about our President lying to the troops under his command? Or do you just want to ignore that so you can continue to feel good about the fact that you voted for a fraud?

My favorite part of the last 2 years is that anti-Trumpers sound *exactly* like the folks who were outraged by Obama's election.  The same outrage, the same vitriol, the same histrionic reactions, the same, same pile, but blue, instead of red.  Haters just got to hate, I guess.  Anger can make you feel alive, I guess.

And why does this "John Shea" clown keep bringing up his profession?  Being a doctor isn't exactly rare or any more impressive than being an engineer or lawyer or a politician or an actor.  Is he a new doctor who feels proud he finally got his license? Or is it all a LARP and he's just an orderly, changing bedpans and swiping pills when he can?  Maybe he doesn't realize that the clinical treatment of people is a step or 2 removed from science, logic and statistics.  Maybe he's a weightloss doctor?  Or one of those ones who will "regrow your hair."  ???  Each bull-footed insult he throws just begs more and more questions!

I vote it's just Taps, reborn under a pseudonym, trolling away on the board he misses so much.

Hey, FYI, your comment is still not on topic either. If you voted for Trump, and still think the world of him after learning that he’s perfectly comfortable lying to our own troops, then your ability to form a valid conclusion is compromised.

You’re quite right. So respond to your OP

You said, “Recently during a political discussion a Republican friend mentioned that “the media has a liberal bias”. It reminded me of the phrase “The truth has a liberal bias”. I decided to explore this concept by reading various articles regarding our president’s recent onslaught of lies to his own troops regarding a mythological two figure pay raise he boasts about having given them.”

I thought you were trying to prove by example the “the media is liberal because truth is as well”

The fact you cite seven sources which cite the same facts does not prove or disprove the premise.

You later clarified that, “The original post is meant to humorously highlight the fact that our President lies like a Persian rug, even to our own troops”

Had I known this I probably would not have responded at all.

Doubtful. You responded because you dislike the idea of letting political comments you disagree with go unchallenged. That’s why we all post anything at all on this topic...

True, especially if unfounded.

Are you by chance a surgeon?

1) Off topic.

2) Regarding Obama haters vs Trump Haters: Obama haters were racists using excuses like “he wasn’t born in this country” as a justification for their disagreement. Trump haters use things like “He lied to our own troops” as a justification to hate him. That’s the real difference.

3) Regarding me: You add an MD to your signature after you get an Medical Doctorate, not a license to practice medicine. You might have known that if you bothered to think about anything other than trying to (and failing to) insulting me before writing your post.

Except the articles are the foundation. So not “unfounded” at all.

Not a surgeon. Too many pricks. I work with various Hospitalist services.

Still off topic.

This was cute. Creative. No. We don’t over prescribe opiods in hospitals. Too many protocols for that to even be considered.

Trump has not made any impact on the opioid crisis. It has been slowly resolving for decades, and will continue at that pace no matter who is in office.
