Critical thinking has little to do with it, it's simply part of the process, and it's definitely not 'fake'.... as much as some would prefer it to be.

I'm smart that way. I've been reading news since the headlines were the Vietnam war and I've developed critical thinking and logic skills. That's how I know it's fake.
That and you know... every intelligence agency we have is positive it was Russia. Especially as we're seeing them employ the same techniques in elections around the world.
More of how we know it's fake.

Because you're the star in your own action movie.
Of course.

That is a misapplication of the scandal that is plaguing the Trump administration. Russia didn't cause Trump to win, they assisted him by manipulating media with stolen secrets from an American political party. Trump, his campaign, and now maybe his administration may have colluded with the Russians in same way to assist them to do this. OR, as is also becoming the case, they may have also colluded with the Russians to open up some quid-pro-quo agreements (this is a post-election scandal though).
If you are endeavoring to honestly comprehend and have the Trump scandal explained to you, then it reasons you should at least have the foundation of the argument correct and not be pitching strawmen. Otherwise it just comes off like you are just baiting Silly in order to get her worked up and laugh at her for her troubles.

The Trump 'scandal' is that Trump colluded with Russia during the election so as to steal the victory from Hillary - this is the allegation. No further explanation necessary, I'm up-to-speed with what CNN has to say about this - if members want to make assertions then I want to hear the dirty details.

What's your problem? Jealous?
Hey I own a house mortgage free too.
I have credit cards but carry no debt. I own my cars outright.
Funny the rich guy in the Whitehouse is a God but someone who actually worked their asses off to make a successful business they get laughed at.
I guess I don't fit your picture of a welfare stealing living on the teat liberal .
Oh well.
What do you want a bank statement or reference letters from my accountant and lawyer?
I started as a decorator on long island. I then started selling commissioned goods to customers and when I moved to the south I finally opened a store selling very expensive rugs and accessories.
I didn't have a loan of a million dollars but my wonderful father did cosign my first business loan.
Trump never worked the way I did. Weekends, nights and holidays are not holidays for a retailer.
Now as for this story...
I'm sure the DC police are still working the case but they are not entertaining any conspiracy theory ideas.
