Ok I know you have a lot of reasons for not voting Kamala, but I just gotta push back every time you say I'm eating up false stories, because most of what you said just doesn't support that at all.

I think you should consider that maybe I have good reason for my beliefs. Let me spell it out:

  1. The claim is that 2 anonymous people in the room, plus notes taken at the time, include the outburst.
  2. This claim is made by Jeffrey Goldberg, a reporter with a decades long career unblemished by journalistic fraud.
  3. No one - not the family, not Meadows or anyone else associated with Trump - denies that the bill was sent to the white house, but not paid by Trump.
  4. No one has offered an alternative explanation as to why Trump did not pay the bill.

I think those are some good reasons to believe the story. I also get how people want to believe the family on an emotional level - what happened to them sucks and they have every right to feel whatever they want about Trump. As do you. But I will stand by the fact that on a rational level, it makes far more sense to believe this actually happened as reported.
