I know that CBT stands for "cognitive behavioral therapy" but every time I see that acronym written I just think about dudes getting kicked in the balls. The internet has ruined my brain.
Although, I guess some people's behavioral issues could be reduced through a precise application of ball stomping.
If you knew that was what he was going to do and you still hired him, absolutely you paid him to do that.
"If". Which the article doesn't state, and for which you have fuck-all evidence by your own admission.
What I find funniest about this is that you previously argued tooth and nail that Trump could not be considered responsible for the actions of Giuliani, Cohen, and other indicted figures in his employ. That they did things for their employer, but not at their employer's direction. If someone said Trump "hired Giuliani to" pressure Ukraine, you'd have been lecturing us for pages on it.

Why are you saying the RW media isn't trustworthy? They are as trustworthy as the other side. Again, you won't find an LW story to corroborate it because they don't care to report on it. It's like when the NY Post ran the story on the Hunter Biden laptop and the story was basically considered a conspiracy theory and censored. How'd the LW media do with corroboration on that? Epic fail on that front but you'd say the news sources saying the laptop was disintormation are more trustworthy I bet.
Very doubtful.
Some right-wing media, such as The Times, are generally credible on the facts of (most) matters. For this, I can find nothing except random rants by no-name belligerants on blogs and Twitter. So no, they're not as credible as an actual source.
If you can find a credible report, please provide it, rather than just blindly insisting that unverified Twitter rants must be accurate.
Also can't find any centrist outlets. Or even any moderate right-wing outlets.

Yes, it's a waste of money and doesn't address male issues such as higher suicide success rates(when we take our lives we actually have a higher chance), male mental health issues, and so forth. Very one-sided. Furthermore, most of the issues feminism has with men isn't with younger more socially liberal men, it's with older baby boomers and Gen X men who beat their wives.
More like going on a dark web marketplace and searching for "lawnmowing", when "lawnmowing" is a well-known euphemism for "killing your postman". And finding a "lawnmowing" company started by a guy who's killed postmen in the past and whose reputation is eagerly and quite efficiently killing postmen. And the "lawnmowing" company is also suspiciously kept on retainer by Amazon, FedEx, and UPS, while being a major supporter of any political candidate promising to defund the postal service, and you know this but have been assured his retention has nothing to do with any potential or forthcoming grudge against postmen.
Then paying your wife's LLC for "home equity growth ", and through your wife's LLC subcontracting the "lawnmower" for "mowing your lawn".
And when your postman suddenly and inexplicably drops dead at the hands of your "lawnmower", you throw your hands up and say, "well good golly, I didn't know he'd kill my postman! I only paid my wife's LLC to subcontract mowing my lawn! My wife didn't tell me who she'd hired!".

Neither does the fire brigade, should we defund that?
Citation needed.
I don't care enough about it, just found it chuckle worthy and that's about it.
Yes, this is how misinformation spreads, without the need for someone to read an actual article and then discuss it with peers. I feel like you in particular should take note, eh? Considering our parallel discussion on the pervasiveness of misinformation.
Wait TMZ is right wing now?
Pro-Palestine Protesters Block Philadelphia Pride Parade, Wild Video Shows
Pro-Palestine protesters faced off with marchers during Philadelphia's Pride Parade ... stopping the flow of the annual event -- and creating a pretty chaotic scene.

Meaningless caveat: I don't know at which points Trump was and was not paying Giuliani. Let's just pretend he was paying him the whole time for the sake of argument.
Trump did pay Giuliani to try to get a Biden investigation out of Ukraine. It would be wrong to say he hired him for that, but he paid him and it was done in the course of those duties. But that is different than ordering him to do so, and very very different than blackmailing Ukraine.
Hadn't seen that one.Wait TMZ is right wing now?

No, TMZ isn't right-wing-- but it is just a celeb gossip rag. It doesn't actually do any footwork on current events or politics etc, just penning articles based on social media posts by others.
In this case, the sole social media post they provide is from... Jack Posobiec, the alt-right conspiracy theorist whackjob.
This paragraph is of course laden with qualifications and clarifications about Trump's level of involvement. None of which were present earlier for Clinton.
Had someone simply said "Trump paid Giuliani to pressure Ukraine into investigating Biden"-- no added clarifications minimising the level of Trump's knowledge or involvement!-- you'd absolutely have regarded that as misleading at best and outright dishonest at worst on the question of Trump's own culpability. And you know you would've done. You spent so much time and effort making absolutely crystal clear that the actions of Trump's employees in service of Trump shouldn't be held against Trump.
