the problem is when you're smart[er than the average dumb-***] but not smart enough to realize there are plenty of things you don't understand

Can't help myself- You know the line about being brilliant but can't tie shoes? plenty of genius folk are great at literal thinking and calculation but dealing with conceptual or inferential thinking is a struggle.

Whether it is believable or not it is not a piece of outlying evidence. It fits into the narrative in a large block of evidence presented by multiple people who have no problem with veracity. The only people that actually don't believe the Ruskies getting their predigested critical thinking from Faux and their ilk

And yet you apparently don't know what an inference is, even though you should've learned that in junior high.

I'm smart enough to know an inference involves reasoning.
And reasoning inherently involves the biases of the reasoner because they are human.

Two different people can reach different inferences on a situation based on their different patterns of reasoning with the available evidence.

There's a parked car missing a wheel. I may reason and infer "flat tire"; someone else may reason and infer "stolen". Until we know, we don't know who inferred correctly.

Except they have shown the people stealing the wheel, talking about stealing the wheel, had people tweeting about stealing the wheel. Showed a pattern of behaviour that would help you infer they stole the wheel. At what point to you stop pretending the wheel is not off because of a flat tyre?

Believing that means believing Dana Rohrabacher.
And Assange's attorney.
And Assange.

There's a credibility trifecta.

Is this enough manila envelope for you?

https://lawandcrime.com/awkward/interview-from-3-years-ago-appears-to-corroborate-assange-lawyers-claims-of-trump-pardon-dangling/

Rohrabacher previously told Los Angeles media—in September 2017–that he took part in a “confidential interaction” with the White House—in order to secure Assange a deal. The deal Rohrabacher described involved making Assange’s legal troubles go away in exchange for information that could exonerate Trump and the Trump campaign during the Russia probe.
The news outlet asked Rohrabacher if Assange was asking for a pardon as a part of a potential deal, but he would only say discussions were “confidential.”
Former federal prosecutor Richard Signorelli called the upshot here: “This is called corroboration of Assange’s attorney proffer of corrupt pardon promise by Trump.”

Re: POTUS: A Sharpie Is Always Needed

Wait, 29 composite ACT qualifies for Mensa? Holy **** have they lowered their standards. 29 is a **** score if you’re trying to measure true genius.

I know complete morons who got a 29 on the ACT: me

(In fairness to myself, that score was an outlier among my other scores.)
