As I said: "Those who are tuned in to politics so to speak reject information that doesn't fit their views and love to find info that fits in or supports their biases and as I said we see it here daily". I am guilty as are about all of us.
You to are guilty Goat and you demonstrate it constantly. I haven't posted for months as I don't think and active mod should. Today I broke my rule. I knew for a fact that I would get a snippet from you. I always do. Funny thing is I am probably closer to your opinion on the topic than not. You just don't like hearing two sides of the opinion and anyone in disagreement with yours is often referred to as idiots. This is termed motivated reasoning. You use it a lot as do most here. Often times the truth is somewhere in the middle.
There is another reason I don't post often. I have rediscovered why. Over and out.
There is some truth to what you write. We look at information with bias. But that doesn't give you an excuse to not dig deeper and acknowledge where the facts lead us. Just saying the truth lies somewhere in the middle is a convenient excuse to hide from the facts. The Mueller report seems to conclude that while the Russians certainly interfered in the election AND Trump associates attempted to gain advantage from that interference, there was no compelling evidence that the Trump campaign or associates colluded with the Russians. My personal belief is they were far too inept to do that.
What also seems to be true is that Trump and his associates attempted to obstruct the Mueller investigation. We witnessed this continuously, as Trump denigrated the Justice Department and Mueller's investigation. Mueller has concluded that Trump tried to fire Mueller and then later asked his attorney to lie to the Mueller team. It looks to me that Mueller has held that Congress is responsible for oversite of the president and has presented evidence to them. To deny these facts is to shine a light on your bias.
