Maybe I should have tried to be a dick? Who wants to fact check everything they read about on the internet? Sometimes it’s nice to see a source along with a big claim. Maybe it’s just me.
Thanks for the source, but you can keep the rest.
I wasn't being a dick either. You asked for a source, I gave you a couple of good ones to prove I want just making it up, but I'm not here to do ALL your homework for you.
I've seen how MAGAs will waste your time chasing sources they won't accept, so I tend to do the minimum, and let those with good faith use the key words (Guantanamo Bay New Prison+) to find out more.
It's not like it's hard, like you have to drive to the library like the old days. The source for any question you have is literally in your hand, on the same device you are asking the question to. Type in those keywords, and you'll have all the answers you want.
The good news is by looking it up yourself, and not relying solely on the sources that some schlub from the Internet offered up, you might find some other information that the schlub didn't want you to know. That's how you use Critical Thinking Skills - don't rely on what you are told, go find the original sources, and be your own news media, and draw your own conclusions outside of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, or whatever the idiotic Dems are doing.
I'm not being a dick, man, I'm just trying to teach you to be a better citizen. Questioning a statement is good, refusing to do the work to verify or refute the statement, is lazy citizenship.
That’s a lot of words for still acting a dick. Really serves to double down. Could have chosen to not be a dick, but pressed on heavy anyway. You didn’t include any source at first when I asked. So my ask was fair. I don’t need to waste time fact checking every sensationalist thing I read on the internet. If you make a big claim, then back it up.
You do you man.
You requested sources, I gave them to you, and altered my post to included the best one.
You acknowledged that you were being a dick when you first said you didn't want to be a dick, then went on to continue being a dick, even after you got your sources. Now you seem to be on a mission to prove that I'm a dick.
I'm not interested, and I doubt anyone else is either. You got your sources, I wasn't lying, MAGA is building a giant concentration camp in a hostile foreign nation(Cuba), far from the prying eyes of the media, courts, lawyers, etc. That's what I wanted to discuss, not which one of us is a bigger dick.
You've already proven which one.
