SELF-EVIDENT HYPERBOLE 
|
|||
|
OK, so Bigblock calls Trump's lies "self-evident hyperbole"...... Lets find some examples.....
| ||
|
Oh my God......Your infernal whataboutism just continues to vividly illustrate your absolute terror of acknowledging that your president is a toxic asshole.

Does your thinker actually inform you that the lies of previous presidents magically nullify the lies of the present one......Does your thinker tell you that Bush saying Iraq has weapons of mass destruction nullified the lies of previous presidents?........Or is that kind of magic exclusive to Trump?

ok he is a toxic asshole. that is not an Impeachable offence. many many all over the world are like him , asshole with no tact . does that make them any less a success . many corporate raiders are asshole , panderers. yet the are heads of countries and corporations. personalities have never been a defining factor in measuring how successful any one has been or will be. trump is also has a huge ego. is he unique in that? toxic personalities run wide in the leader of the world. allow the voters to decide whether he is the best for the office. the theater of public opinion is like noses. each person has one

I think there's merit in Salena Zito's opinion regarding Trump's hyperbole - We have to take Trump seriously, not literally. His supporters do not think about these statements on a scale of un/truth, and neither should we. These are rhetorically effective lies that do not backfire, because, as their listeners know, they aren’t meant to convey literal truth in the first place. Instead, literary creations weave reality into a new hyperbolic hybrid world, felt and understood rather than proved. To critique these kind of statements, we need to respect their power and try to deconstruct rather than “disprove” them — to pull apart and address the emotions and meanings they communicate outside the confines of facts.

Well, you're obviously a Trump supporter....your whataboutism gives you away.....Are you seriously telling me that discussing politics gets in the way of voting? What are you voting for, a leader or a celebrity.?......Do you write letters to the candidates election staff and tell them they should stop the ads because it interferes with people's decisions regarding who to vote for?..... it reads a follows: Oh my God......Your infernal whataboutism just continues to vividly illustrate your absolute terror of acknowledging that your president is a toxic asshole. correct me if I am wrong. the subject of your comment was to have some oen admit trump is a toxic asshole . I did that plus stating he is an egomaniac. it seems you are not happy with anyones answers unless the fit into your mindset.. you rambled off the subject. btw , cure buzz words, whataboutism, and hyperbole are typical fillers like you know and other empty phrases. also no one mentioned ads or celebrity's. if you are going to respond. please stay on topic and not ramble. regarding who I support . last time I checked it was perfectly legal and proper to vote for whom you choose. are you a trump supporter ??? if not .tell us why not and who u will vote for!!!!!!

You sir...are OFFICIALLY stupid....my goodness Mr. Ed, this is an EPIC oink.
| ||
|
WHATABOUT........WHATABOUT........Do you seriously think that listing these endless examples of people that YOU think I should be referring to is any kind of legitimate defense of Trump?.......
| ||
|
I just can't keep up with your thick-headed assumptions.......This site is not the only venue/situation I express myself in.....You seem to think that if I haven't said something here, I haven't said it or thought it.......Are you mad?...

Well, Bigblock......others would not reach that conclusion......I post many blogs.....in fact, most of my blogs are not political and reflect a great variety of interests. You on the other hand, post almost exclusively, political blogs copied from extreme Right-wing sites that have very poor factual scores and favour conspiracy theories......What do you think my conclusion should be?

Considering this is the only venue I have to observe your contribution, which consists almost exclusively of quotes of other people's words,should I then conclude that you are only what I see here?
