Can't you two take this personal squabble to PM's?
(My response to Snowdragon and DMB was on the previous page.)

You are your brothers cuck.

Interesting, as this topic could have been easily taken to the Trump thread, but alright bro, I won't reply to the sad little tyke, for you. This favor is for you.

I take it you didn't actually read Snowdragon's article?

No, you actually agreed with Lazy Bones' false equivalency and mischaracterization of the events described by his article, and took no issue with him deflecting to Obama as an excuse for Trump's actions. Hence the 👆 emoji.


I don't care about anything Obama did, what I care about is whether or not Trump is pursuing action via suing within the current parameters of policy or trying to change policy. I could give less of a shit about what Obama did or deflections to Obama, what this really comes down to for me is that even though I think it's shitty, I'm not sounding the alarm over the President pursuing this issue if he's not crafting policy to do so.

Why don't you stop trying to smear me with attempting to deflect on Obama when I have repeatedly characterized my opinion in the context of what Trump is doing?

That was not the distinction being discussed in the post you gave an 👆 emoji to. So none of this is really relevant to my critique.

I didn't realize pointing out the content of posts you imply agreement with was considered "smearing."

He was making the distinction in regards to the extent and form of action Trump was taking, ie. suing rather than using presidential policy to do so.

The specific point about Trump suing rather than changing or enacting policy was made in the post I gave a thumbs up to which is essentially my point, though the Obama comparison was also there, which I don't really have any interest agreeing or disagreeing with.

Why don't you get some clarification on some of these things first before flying off the handle as you always do, desperate for a quick chance to give yourself the high ground and assume the worst about your opponent. It's annoying, and not the first time you've made incorrect presumptions about your opponent's stances.

You did clarify your position after initially misrepresenting it, so I don't really see any point to dragging this on longer.

This was rather unnecessary though:

I'm not obligated to seek clarifications when you misrepresent your own intent. If you want to show me clarification, the onus is on yourself, not me.

You have shown me the intent of your post, so we have no further issue, aside from your paranoia about others trying to claim high ground on an online forum.
