    Your "He never said he wanted to terminate all of the articles! Just the articles that govern our elections" argument is certainly semantics. If you are unwilling or unable to come to terms with reality, then you have that option.

    I don't know who you think you are quoting in your post but it wasn't me. Are you trying to falsely state I said something that I didn't say?

    I apologize for accurately summarizing your argument, but it is an accurate summary.

    So now you are pretending to be unaware that violating part of a contract can (and most often does) invalidate the whole thing? I'm sorry if I was mistaken in thinking you had previously acknowledged this basic fact.

    That is not even slightly an answer to the question. I suspect you're just trying to kick up dirt. The evident answer to my question, by the way, is "Nowhere". I'm out.

    Then you didn't read the post. Try again. We'll start slower: were you are were you not aware that violating part of a contract can (and most often does) invalidate the entire contract?

    This is just far left wing nonsense. No wonder #MSM gets away with telling lies about Trump, they have a whole audience of viewers willing to swallow it all and regurgiate it for them.

    Then I appreciate your admission that you never had any honest intentions here in our discussion.

    I'd ask where I admitted that, but I suspect I'd just get back a bunch of irrelevant stuff.

    If thats the case, how do you stop disinformation that is so biased that it doesn't even resemble the actual facts. Tiabbi is a case in point here. He posted an entire article that Twitter allowed one side to change the narrative with what he called "censorship", which was true. He does that metaphorically in 500pt font, and then in the last sentence in metaphorically 2pt font (the republicans did it also) .What he purposefully did was leave out until the very end in a very passive sentence, "oh yeah, the republicans were allowed to censor others also".

    Thats beyond disingenuous, and its really just lying thru "omission". And personally here, I think Twitter should be held accountable as should Tiabbi. Personally I think we have to have some sort of fairness doctrine for the internet. And Im not talking about equal time, but about truth in advertising. Although I understand that the real problem here is that the internet somehow gives everyone a voice, and that people listen to it, there needs o be a way to weed thru that for the uninitiated. Im up for suggestions, but agree with you that it cant be government censorship

    Even after them telling us "I like him because he says it like it is!" they've never stopped insisting that Trump only speaks in tea leaves that must be decoded by his prophets.

    Trump gave a choice "which should it be" because the magnitude of fraud and deception "allows for" the termination of all rules, regulations etc, including in the Constitution.
    In his mind its a done deal, either choice, after Twitter/Hunter emails.
    He's out of his mind and no,"just make his life easier" his life is in the pits and will continue to get worse.

    What does "all" mean? Does it mean one specific article or part? I'm trying to find a non-woke dictionary where "all" means just a component of something.

    I basically agree with this, but when we're talking about the literal text of what he said, in typical Trumpian fashion he is vague enough to give himself a little wiggle-room. By "making his life easier" I just meant it's easier for him to cry fake news.

    The slippery word is "allows". If I'm allowed to cancel all rules it doesn't mean I'm necessarily going to.

    The constitution says not such thing about allowing any such action. No where does terminate appear in the constitution. The only way it is allowed is if you subvert and ignore the constitution entirely.

    Of course
    To me, that's straining to defend a position (if you mean, therefore Trump was calling for the termination of the whole constitution). I think it's a needless position to defend - what Trump actually said was already horrendous.

    I agree. What he said was horrible. But Trump did indeed call to terminate the constitution.

    Here, Trump is presenting two alternatives, neither of which is constitutional. I see no third alternative that doesn't require subverting the constitution, so the leftist media portrayal of his words are accurate.
