Urine Trouble (Mueller Thread v. 16)

[waiguoren]

You're splitting hairs about a tweet.

This was the actual headline of the actual article.

Exclusive: Peter Navarro pushed Stefan Halper for Trump job

Accuse the other side of "splitting hairs" when you've got nothing. Common debate tactic.

I am proud of my many successes in life. Beating at his own game someone who you pushed as an "expert" at his own game (and you at the same time) is noteworthy. I can tell you are still salty about it.

I never indicated I plan to create a statistical website.

I do plan to beat Silver again in 2020. Do you think I can do it?

Do I think you can do it? No. Do I think you will take my bet this year? No. Do I think it is sad that a bet on Sherdog rates as one of your successes in life...

Nothing?

What are you talking about?

That is the headline. You said the headline is misleading. What is misleading about this?

I was referring to the tweet, as you know. The tweet that appeared to mislead @Joe .

 

[m52nickerson]

What's the bet?

You will see...later, baby. The kids are still awake.

Behind the scenes: During the presidential transition Navarro recommended Halper, among other people, for ambassador roles in Asia. A White House official said Halper visited the Eisenhower Executive Office Building last August for a meeting about China.

Are you trying to mislead people?

What are you talking about? This is literally what's in the story. Take it up with them if you want to yell at someone. Not me.

President Trump's top trade adviser, Peter Navarro, recommended appointing Stefan Halper, an academic and suspected FBI informant on the Trump campaign, to a senior role in the Trump administration, Axios has learned.

A tweet is not a headline. It's a tweet. It's a tweet that not only contained accurate information also contained the actual headline and actual source.

You said the headline was misleading. You are all kinds of wrong.

Kyle Griffin doesn't even work for Axios, ffs.

Why did you post a tweet of that story in this thread? You posted the tweet and . What's so funny about it?

Ok, I should have written the "tweet was misleading". It's clear that's what I meant from context

Kyle Griffin's employment status has nothing to do with this. Don't deflect.

THERE WAS NOTHING MISLEADING.

All the relevant information was present in Kyle's tweet, in the headline of the article in the tweet, at the Axios page and that headline and in the text of the report.

Maybe we need to edit the tweet with MSpaint and point out the relevant information for him?

I think he's missing it.

This what has him arguing in circles

Axios story

Trump's top trade adviser, Peter Navarro, recommended appointing Stefan Halper, an academic and suspected FBI informant on the Trump campaign, to a senior role in the Trump administration, Axios has learned.

This is so fucking stupid

Don't play dumb. You stuck a Michael Jordan laughing .gif next to the tweet. Here's another typical Twitter response to the tweet:



You got fooled by the Tweet. If you actually read the story, you will see that it's completely irrelevant to this thread. Should qualify as thread derailing.

Here maybe this will help you understand why you've become a raving lunatic with a mouth full of Trump sperm @waiguoren

Griffin's tweet is written in a way that misleads people into thinking that his story undermines Trump's narrative. If you don't think it's misleading, please explain why so many of the Twitter responses to Griffin's tweet look like this:
