But it doesn't take a genius to recognize the fact that there are very few self-evident propositions (in fact, one could intelligibly argue, "we probably don't know anything with 100% certainty - including this very assertion, of course).
It just chafes me the wrong way when people speak absolutes and actually believe the statements coming from their lips. I've heard multiple people state (and try to seriously argue) that all generalizations are false.
On the other hand, I have no problem if a person is speaking in absolutes in a joking manner.
Have you talked this way your whole life? Are you college educated?

Ok...not sure on what front you are defending Trump, but since you question me and my knowledge......
1. I have supplied you with factual reading on the subject, which you obviously have not read.
2. I lived this process in late 50s to early 60's and know it quite well.
3. Because of my exposure, I keep tabs on what I can( obviously minimal) and know how it works.
4. Before you break your smart ass bone, nobody said the President could not do this...EVER. It is simply being pointed out that it is BEYOND highly unusual, and even more "newsworthy" because the country supplying this info, the city it was sourced from, etc was revealed. And it was revealed to Russia, who last time we hated in 2016, they used such info to bomb our allies.
Russia is not our friend, and we should use extreme caution with them. This is not smart and certainly not in the interest of our country.
