That’s about the only response I’ve ever had from M. It’s usually a disparaging remark about the source without addressing the substance. In this instance the source is not mine and I haven’t even read it.
This is an article from The Washington Post:
And just a reminder; the WP is one of America’s oldest and most widely distributed papers. They broke the Watergate story in the 70’s and they’re universally regarded as a left-wing paper.
"In the mid-1970s, conservatives called the newspaper “Pravda on the Potomac” because of its perceived left-wing bias in both reporting and editorials. Since then, the appellation has been used by both liberal and conservative critics of the newspaper…
On October 17, 2008, [u]The Post endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States.[48] On October 25, 2012, the newspaper endorsed the re-election of Barack Obama.[/u]
Rather unusual to not give one’s political beliefs in a political subforum discussing politics.
I tried twice and got nothing but a mouthful of Greek salad.
Yes, a strawman. The article in The Washington Post is my source on this occasion. But I expected nothing less from M. As I said, this is the only response I’ve ever had from him and my questions are ignored half the time. I only really reply because his comments need to be addressed.
Good luck getting any kind of meaningful response.

This stuff matters because this is the kind of mindset that has placed us all in the position we’re in. People should be held accountable for support of this administration. They are the ones who placed them in power.
