re: I’m gonna have to say I’m gonna have to re-evaluate my feelings on James Mattis.

You should dislike Mattis more now. Along with other military leaders he fought against Trump . Looking things since Trump left it seems Trump was right .

Did any of you down voters even read the post?
100% agree.

Cool, so you're not familiar with inference. Inference is what happens when someone is being super vague and evasive in a discussion. Because you're being vague, inference is necessary to at least attempt to fill in some blanks on your side of the discussion, just simply to move the discussion forward.
Your vagueness is in the areas of both the assertion that Trump's unpatriotic, thus far without supporting info, as well as your incomplete explanation of the way that the withdrawal from Afghanistan should have ideally occurred.

Of course I'm familiar, but that isn't what you're doing.
I'm not interested in the conversation you're trying to have so you're doing something called a straw man.
Straw man is what happens when you need to make a point, but the opponent hasn't given you something to make your point.

Again, we're right back to vagueness. I couldn't make a point if I wanted to because you haven't explained yourself. I'd like to make a point sometime maybe, but unless you add to your vague assertions of Trump being unpatriotic, looks like I've hit a roadblock. Same situation with your heretofore vague assertion that the withdrawal should have been done differently, and that Trump deserves some blame.
It's almost as if you don't have any further explanation beyond the vague talking points. I guess that's a point.

There's nothing vague about it. I made a direct accusation that you're relying on straw man.

You are a flaming liberal. Posing as military stolen baler. Then you are trying to act like you are gop. Well I can tell a democrat a mile away. You sir are a democrat .

Suit yourself. Because you can produce no supporting argument I'm forced to infer that the reasons for your claims against Trump are simply that he triggers you, and you really can't even figure out why.

Competence isn't necessarily a measurement against others. Trump is a terrible leader. Sure, to the people who love him he's been "owning the libs." Yeah, that's funny, but so what.
You don't always get to pick who you lead. Trump never figured that out.
As far as the "figuring it out" comment. There's still a significant part of the party who refuses to accept that Biden did beat Trump. Sloping down from there, you eventually get to a few who can admit that Trump set himself up for the L.
I disagree with your two points: Trump's leadership and admitting that "Biden did beat Trump".
I would not admit to either of those, but, will not expound on why because I'm terminating my involvement with this thread.

Straw man.
If you're not even intellectually honest enough to admit that...well, there should be no mystery about my lack of interest in a conversation with you.

That's fine.
I doubt a convincing defense could be mounted for either.

Asking you to expound on your claims is a "straw man"? That's what you're going with?

Misrepresenting what I've said to make your points is a straw man.
There's no "going with" that. It's what it is. That's the accepted definition of the concept.

There you go "inferring" again.

You can dip duck and dodge all you want, but I ain't forgetting that you have zero supporting, evidence, hell not even any supporting thoughts when it comes to your claims that "Trump's not a patriot" and "Trump bears responsibility" and that "A slow trickle out of the country is as stupid as it gets"......just hollow talking points.
Strange for such a smart guy.

You're conflating my refusal to participate in your conversation with a lack of ability to do so.
You've been wailing about how I've responded, when you really should've been thinking about how you could appropriately advance the discussion.
Straw man ain't it.
Posted on 8/28/21 at 12:16 pm to JayWhite
Oh you've been participating. You've put a good bit of effort into demonstrating that you got nothin. Zero.
