Facts??? We doan' need no stinkin' facts!!! Seriously, I'm about sick of facts. I have researched high and low to find facts that I believe to be accurate, meaning I also research who is doing the publishing, and who is doing the writing. And I have found those facts and presented them here on OPP in debates and what do I get? that's BS. We, if it IS BS, show me something to prove it(facts). What are facts? Are facts true? When your facts disagree with my facts, how do we resolve whose facts are correct. How do you find facts these days? If you just look far enough to find what you want to see, then you ain't lookin' hard enough. If you trust ANY media, you still need to look deeper...see who wrote the article. What I like to find in facts is when say, the Washington Post or the New York Times ( both KNOWN to be anti Trump) prints an article that says Trump did something, anything ...right! Or that Trump was right months after making a claim or an accusation. THAT'S when I would believe something they said about Trump. CNN and the others that Trump has labeled as fake news have put out so many unseen, unvalidated, and outright false stories on Trump, until I don't pay them any mind, unless Trump has something to say about a story. THEN I watch to see what happens. How can you be sure that your facts are better than my facts. How can you trust a fact checker when said checker shows a political bias?What about when someone on the left side says Trump is an orange buffoon? or a drug addict? Yes, people on the right side do it too ( I did it for a short while, then decided to act maturely). I keep saying this over and over, the rhetoric of division is used pretty much equally by both sides. I don't like facts anymore. Facts make you mad when other people don't accept them. Facts hurt embarrass you when somebody is able to prove your facts wrong. Facts can insult you when somebody puts one out there that just smacks you in the face. No, I am losing my desire to have facts, cause' you know what? If you facts are right or wrong, the other side willnot believe you OR your facts. Facts? We doan need no stinkin' facts!!!

i am not quite sure I follow what you are trying to say. But i think you are saying you don't believe in facts. You don't believe in truth or falsehoods. This is just amazing. and mindboggling. But not suprising comming from a conservative republican. Where do you people come from. And you want to place yourselves and people who think like you into positions of power. But u don't believe in facts or if you do you say that facts, whether something is true or false is not needed. I am at a loss for words to describe how do you reason or conduct business with people like that. Maybe i will say that conservative republicans are being lied to about facts, truth/falsehoods, and are being brainwashed into thinking that facts, truth/falsehoods don't really matter if they don't fit their ideology and when crafting national policy.
