jesus. do you ever just stop? relentlessness doesn't win debates.
Neither does your whimpering. What won this debate was my deployment of logical arguments rooted in accurate factual information. Learn from that and you'll do better next time.

I suppose that depends on how you measure it --
No, obviously that's untrue. That would be Abraham Lincoln, who was so divisive that his election resulted in an outright Civil War.
Idiot thinks Lincoln was the problem.
That's certainly not the case any more.

No, I'm not aware of that.
Actually, on Obama's watch the poverty rate fell, and median real incomes rose for individuals, families, and households. In fact, one of his years had the most rapid rise in median real household income on record in American history.
Actually, the deficit fell on his watch. Check for yourself, if you don't believe me. Here's a story about the deficit from shortly before Obama took office:
That's $1.2 trillion. What do you think the federal deficit was when Obama left office? Be specific, please.
Nope, I'm still not responding to your attempt to name the tune. I'm still telling you that if you want to move forward, you'll need to find the courage to answer my questions first. And you're still cowering.

you still confuse collusion with conspiracy, you don't understand our military or the role of Pax Americana-
as opposed to Chinese hegemony ( and their rapid pace of military build up), military prowess/readiness
or why Russia and China are now strategic allies ( very bad -Russian engineering & Chinese money)
or Trumps de-regulation that is bringing us a booming economy-even while the feds raise rates

No. Just an accurate description of you. How about the joke about sliding down the stairs? Why so quiet?
I can be quite tolerant towards those with different positions who make honest arguments. We can work together with them to test and hone our own ideas and, perhaps, both wind up closer to the truth. But the patently dishonest trolling is a complete waste of space. I don't believe for a minute he thought it sounded like I'd caved and backed away from the facts I'd presented, since nothing I wrote could remotely be seen that way. So, why say it? Is the point merely to avoid touching on the substance of the argument, by simply pretending the other has surrendered, even when anyone who reads the thread will see otherwise? It seems like an awful lot of wasted effort.
You haven't scratched the surface. I had a debate once with him as you are having. His only point was to try and dox me or prove I was not a lawyer.
Was I or not was neither here nor there to me. It seemed vitally important to him. In so doing, he demonstrating to any objective observer he
was in way over his head and did not even understand the very basics of US jurisprudence, all while never yielding a bit. He was unaware of the common law
in the US. He thought the US operated on pure code jurisprudence. Obviously he had zero ability to perform case analysis. In his zeal to unwork me
he laid bare his ignorance, and nothing more. And never once in that journey of self degradation did he bring forth any facts or law on his side.
You are wasting your time. I wasted mine with him. I won't again. You've been forewarned.
Trump is a fraud. His success shouldn't be heralded as exemplary - he's more on the Madoff end of the scale. I don't put him in the same category of the Jobs, Turners & Gates of the world...
Idiot thinks Lincoln was the problem.
It is the case; Obama was the most inexperienced dunce ever to sit in the White House.
Here's Obama himself admitting it, is he lying?
Poverty peaked to a historic high under Obama
and didn't start diminishing until 2014.
As for median incomes, only Bush 41 did worse than Obama in the last 10 Presidencies.

Barack Obama's budget deficit was $6.69 trillion over his eight years, making him the president with the largest budget deficit.

As a non-lawyer myself, I initially felt a little uncomfortable talking law, since it was clearly an area outside my core competence (math/finance/economics). But relative to the right-wingers here, I feel like Learned Hand. Even the most basic concepts of how our legal system works --the interaction of statutes, regulations, case-law, and the Constitution-- is beyond them.
