Sounds fair to me.
Anyone, who believes anything Joe and Mika say about President Trump, has zero value and integrity.
He said basically, which is not the same thing as spiking it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
Crazy Joe should have taken the deal.
Show the proof Joe or resign.
Joe’s canoe is pulling an anchor.

I’d drop that phrase as there’s no way in hell it can be defended against any sort of logical rebuttal.
For starters, who determines what is ordinary and what isn’t?
Consistency of logic and reason demands that every claim requires the same amount of proof, no matter how ordinary or otherwise it may be.
Which WH aides?
Name names Joe or your story is, no surprise, BS!
Mika and Joe are creepy and weird and not in a fun way.
They give me the vibe of people who go home and practice occult rituals.
The account I read yesterday said that Scarborough called Jared complaining about the story and Jared told him he needed to talk to the President about it. Scarborough said that Trump wouldn’t talk to him, and Jared said ‘well maybe you should apologize to him’.
That sound the most likely, if in fact any conversation did take place at all.
Both of them really are physically unattractive people. Scarborough has tiny, squinty eyes, and Mika is average, at best. She’s got a hard-looking face and seems to try too hard to look much younger than she is. Both of them are awful people and it shows on their faces.
I heard yesterday on FOX that Joe called Jared and asked him to get the President to stop the story. Jared told him to ask the President himself but Joe said the President was mad at him. So....logically Jared said he should apologize.
It’s strange but Crazy Joe comes across as someone trying to cover something up, maybe in his past. Like maybe something really bad. I dont know what it is about that guy but he seems like someone you would want your family (boys and girls) to not go around. Kinda of like Bill Clinton was.
I just posted the same thing, sorry I didn’t see your post
Accusing someone on the street could be classified as ordinary.
Accusing the president of the United States of blackmailing you is extraordinary.
Extraordinary: very unusual or remarkable. beyond what is usual, ordinary, regular, or established.
If I make the extraordinary claim that little green men exist on Mars, I’d best have quite a bit of proof to back it up.
No worries...nice to have confirmation. :-)
OK first off, the person who invented that phrase (Carl Sagan) specifically decried the manner in which you are using it, and made that the basis for disowning his own quote.
Second, the logical and reasonable level of proof required in both the enumerated cases should be exactly the same. If it is not, the thinking is simply not based in logic.
A claim that may appear ordinary on its face may turn out to be quote extraordinary upon inspection, and vice versa.
Otherwise a single claim could be both true and false at the same time, depending ONLY on whether it was considered ordinary at the time the claim was made.
