    It's going to be fun to read the stories about these Trumpers in command of these agencies three years down the line - my guess is that we'll be reading about assistant managers at a Little Rock car dealership, assistant club pro at an Oklahoma Country Club, North Dakota real estate agents and bus drivers.

    I get where BTE says using baseless in a headline is wrong. If you get a politician to say baseless, quote it and go, but baseless is an opinion. Writing with an opinion isn’t correct.

    Now, can you say without facts or details or disputed facts or details? That’s probably closer to journalism.

    It sucks because he uses headlines like billboards to his followers. You can prove all you want in the 15 inches that’s he’s full of shit, he wants the billboard headline that everyone reads.

    Can Trump TV be profitable?
    Who will advertise on it?

    Calling a claim baseless is not an opinion. The word has a meaning. It literally means that there is no factual foundation for the claim. In the case of someone alleging election fraud, if they make wild claims but can provide no evidence, it is by definition a baseless claim. You are not expressing your opinion if you state that. You are calling it what it is.

    My friend, that would make almost every lawsuit in history, initially, “baseless.”

    The word has a certain “connotation.”

    You cannot argue with this!
