Sydney is laughing at us all. She knows the kraken has been released.

Is it an...invisible Kraken?
If a Kraken is unable to be seen, does it really exist?

That's the real story here. I don't think "emotional thinking" is what the Sydney Powell story is about. That's just lazy thinking combined with narrative creation.
There's a much bigger story with respect to Sydney Powell related to misinformation and trust in people that couldn't be trusted. That was her flaw.
Keep in mind, she was working right to left from a point of view that fraud occurred (which I believe completely). And, she was under the gun from a time perspective.

Emotional reasoning is a cognitive process by which an individual concludes that their emotional reaction proves something is true, despite contrary empirical evidence.

whether or not you're creating an echo chamber to reinforce beliefs you adopted out of pure emotional-irrationality.
It’s been said a million times cause it’s true. The internet and social media has allowed for the spread of fake and biased news that the world has never dealt with. We still haven’t learned not to believe everything we read. Especially when we want to believe it so bad and land in echo chambers where everyone is on board.
We’re a country of crazy uncles increasingly disconnected from reality including the reality of law. Sydney, Trump and others are getting a dose of that reality.

Well that's where evidence is necessary, and very little, if any legitimate evidence has been shown publicly over these 2.5 years.
E.g., Illegal votes were cast in Milwaukie and Dane Counties in the 10's of thousands. Those facts were NEVER in dispute.
The GOP brought the issue to court months before the election. The court found the GOP plaintiffs could show no harm prior to the election because none of the votes had been counted. The court then forbade Milwaukie and Dane County officials from continuing their anti-Constitutional VBM efforts.
Democrat County officials ignored the court's order, and continued unfettered. After the election, the GOP returned to court, now able to show harm. The court responded, "What ... you want us to overthrow a national election? Nah! Better luck next time."

This fascination with cults is culty.

ALL posts are emotional. Humans are emotional beings. Unless we are discussing mechanics or something, emotion will be involved.
Why are you using emotion as a negative? You’re obviously trying to insult him by saying his posts are emotional, as if yours are not.
This is retarded.
Emotional thinking is clearly inferior to logical thinking.
I just think SFP is misapplying it to this story.

you can't base your fight on insanity and outright fraud.
You will lose the case and then face the corrupt system.
But the corruption is probably the reason it's considered insanity.
Was there cheating? Almost certainly, and we'll never find out about it, because the government shut down every investigation one way or another. Not the least of which is to prosecute the people trying to investigate it. We'll never know the scope and impact of the cheating - was it enough to throw the election? Who knows?
Until we have processes and controls in place that ensure a secure election, we'll never know. What is scary insane is that our government is defending the lack of security in our election and claiming that the people who are upset about it are crazy.
The sane people would/are pushing for better controls on our elections.
We have too many people who don't want to here it and want to just move on, though.

That doesn't accurately apply to this situation.

Not even remotely true. And this is why your posts are heavily downvoted because its just leftist dribble.
Here is what I know about Sydney Powell. I 100% believe she knows fraud occurred, and most likely has seen evidence. What I fail to believe is that she's just some stupid person who was bambozzled and placed her career in jeopardy because she just wasn't smart.
I would bet my house that woman is beyond more intelligent than you. Your only claim that you are smarter would be because she's not a Democrat. That's how your infected brain works.

Depends on the situation, and most situations require both unless you live totally by pre-organized systems.

Powell's "gut reaction" (aka emotional reaction) was that the elections were fraudulent (my argument is this was due to echo chamber repetition melting her brain).
Legitimate empirical evidence did not back this claim up.
She sought bias-confirming evidence from people who also had the same emotional reaction that the election was fraudulent.

Then show me the legitimate evidence.
Not conjecture. Not allegations of having evidence. Not discredited Pillow Man buffoonery. Real, legitimate, unbiased, evidence.

I'm one of the bigger anti-Leftists on this board, actually.
That doesn't mean Patriots escape criticism or commentary.

Then why didn't she use this evidence in the multiple lawsuits she filed? Or in her licensure disciplinary hearings?

This is where emotional thinking and cult brain reorganization come into play. You don't have to be stupid to be in a cult. You don't have to be stupid to let emotional thinking overtake your brain. Your presuppositions are a straw man.

Unlikely, but she's 10000% was (not is) more accomplished in her career than I ever will be. I readily admit that.
But the odds of me tarnishing my career and reputation are also infinitely lower.
