I think we had different readings of that article
Everything critical of Trump is TDS to you man, so I'm not sure what more you want.
Okay, cool. Maybe don't lead off with an intro that is very TDS?

Sure thing.Okay, cool. Maybe don't lead off with an intro that is very TDS?
Despite your claims, I don't use the term often. At first, I actually thought it was stupid. But if I had to define it, I'd personally define its as a syndrome of someone who always takes the opposite side of Trump and/or looks for a way to explain away the lefts attempt to derail his presidency and then keep him from running in the future.Sure thing.
Please define TDS for me, because I'm sure I don't understand it in the way you seem to see/use the phrase.
You think so? Did you deduce that from me outright saying you had a different reading than I did, and that I thought yours missed a serious issue with the overall article (presumably because the article openly begs the question and in part to your obvious confirmation bias)?I think we had different readings of that article.
The author is highlighting how this could be "real big deal" or "nothing burger", based on how broad these legal codes can be applied. He isn't arguing that's a good thing, and literally starts the article
Unless you want to respond, I'll step aside after this post. I think Trump was a good president. I've also criticized things Trump has said and done. I think Biden sucks at presidenting, but I want him to do well and I will gladly say so when he does. And I'd still buy you a beer anytime.Everything even slightly critical of Trump is TDS to you man, so I'm not sure what more you want
I didn't forget to quote a section; the topic of discussion was the author making anti-Trump comments, so I was highlighting where he repeatedly said he was worried about DOJ overreach. Don't want you to think I was trying to downplay that aspect of the article, so I get where you're coming from with that.You forgot to include the second half of the opening paragraph. I am sure it wasn't malicious; just a innocent oversight. After he says, "I have long worried (here, and, more recently, here) about the adverse consequences of the Biden Justice Department using criminal process against former President Trump."
He follows with "I have also long worried (spurred by Garrett Graff) about the mischief, and potential criminal liability, that Trump might stir up after his presidency with access to classified information."
So he also said, and I am paraphrasing- "I think weaponizing the DOJ is a bad thing. It's already happened twice, I wrote two articles already. But, we all know- this Trump guy is trouble, so it's sort of warranted? He's never been convicted of a crime, sure- but I mean, come on. This guy is guilty of something, we just don't know what"
We have different readings because I accept both those views as shitty and borderline idiotic; one of those views align with your preconceived notion of the issue.

I spent more time initially writing a coherent response before I remembered that's not a prerequisite in the world anymore.@amlove21, Brother...that was quick work....
It's a fun meme.I spent more time initially writing a coherent response before I remembered that's not a prerequisite in the world anymore.
Fuck it, I will just make a meme. - Me, today.
Well I would never call you that here or elsewhere, in your presence or otherwise.Just call me a leftist cuck and we'll have reached the rabbit's level of discourse. (ETA: I'm joking. I don't mind the response)

With the number of times you’ve re-enlisted, I’d say your judgement is questionable at best.Well I would never call you that here or elsewhere, in your presence or otherwise.
You’re a good dude, I tend to think you have bad ideas, that’s all. But take that with a grain of salt.
Hurtful. Accurate... but still hurtful.With the number of times you’ve re-enlisted, I’d say your judgement is questionable at best.

@Cookie_ Fwiw, I agree with this 100%. I think you mostly present good talking points in a conversational tone, whether I agree with them or not.
