Again, nice try but 'you cannot prove a negative" is itself a negative claim that would not be true if it could be proven true.

I’ll add that one to your long list of invalid arguments shall I?

I’ll take that as a “no, I’ve suddenly decided I no longer like the rules I failed to impose on you.” I’ve only ever seen cult members use as many fallacious arguments as you do. You didn’t even attempt to argue that trump wasn’t a racists despite claiming it to be thus and such, without a shred of evidence. Youre happy to believe it despite your own false claim that you can prove a negative.

Sorry but youre going to have to do a lot better than invalid arguments and sealioning. I can’t even blame you for it, as it must work on people.

Not to someone who’s determined to deny it, no matter the cost, and engage in any manner of fallacious, underhanded, side stepping nonsense they believe will further their cause.

Unfortunately, it would take some intellectual integrity from you and you’ve shown yourself to be utterly devoid of any, over and over again.

I mean, you can’t even prove the assertion you originally made. Instead you claim I have to prove you wrong, burden of proof fallacy, even after your argument of “you can’t prove a negative” falls to pieces.

So, you can’t prove trump isn’t a racist, despite claiming the media is lying about him being racist? In fact, even worse, you won’t even attempt to demonstrate the claim you made to be true.
