If anything, this would be an appeal to authority. It's not like the post is saying half of the American people believe it's genocide and therefore it is. No, the claim is that several relevant organizations like the ICC, ICJ, and Human Rights Watch, etc., are saying that it is genocide. That'd be like claiming that the vast majority of climate scientists believing in global warming is supporting evidence that global warming is likely true. It is. It's not enough evidence on its own, but it is evidence nonetheless.

That's the thing. Not all appeals to authority are fallacious. Supporting a claim with an expert's opinion is a logically sound way to support an argument.

The video is still up on twitter for me. Regardless, here's the source from fox news.

But how am I supposed to get the joke without irrelevant parts being underlined for me?

In this exact scenario, I feel like the bottom track would slow the trolley down quicker, no? There is no room to stabilize, just pure flesh on wheel, 24/7. Not to mention the constant sharp turns, I think it would topple over long before the top one reaches its final kill count.

Shit, and here I was thinking I like white robots because white is my second favorite color. Damn, that makes me racist, doesn't it?

Calling him a narcissist isn't really an insult either way. It's just a fact about him. The dude only cares about himself.

It looks like the real benefit of the doubt is that he's hopefully talking about laws on voter ID being fixed. Still, what the hell is a presidential candidate doing telling people they don't need to vote anymore? Even with the benefit of the doubt, this shit is ominous.

Edit: to be clear, I don't give him the benefit of the doubt. All I'm saying is if somebody wants to, this is the best they're able to do. It's also important to be aware of the context of the quote, even if you believe he means it in the worst way.
