‘so, in the words of Capt Oates, ‘I’m off .. and may be gone some time.’’
Very disappointing if you’re off again JI. Why is it that so many of you right wingers flee when questioned, when your values and beliefs are debated? We’re having a conversation here, no need to run off. Flip it. The so called lefty liberals on here did that and you’d rightly be saying they didn’t have the courage of their convictions.
I may have took my tone way too far, so in a way, maybe I don’t blame him. That was my error of judgement.
Though, I guess I felt a little bit let down. I thought JI had a reasonable nature, and this latest episode has destroyed that image. I thought he could make reasoned criticism of his own side, but seemingly that is not the case; any suggestion that Trump has committed wrongdoing is covered by the idea that there’s a conspiracy. If he’s not guilty, JI will say he was right, if guilty it’s because the elites were out to get him, and we can’t trust the judgement*. So, I feel like a jilted lover (an analogy; I don’t love anyone on here like that). JI has pertained to balance, yet if their only comebacks to criticism of their beliefs are “I don’t like that source” or wild, and unfounded conspiracies and refusing to acknowledge facts obtained from governmental reports, such as Russian influence in 2016 (the only accusation possibly made here is that the nation level report was a lie, which is not a balanced and reasonable view to take, unless you have some evidence, which goes beyond suppositions), then they are not the ones being neutral. It’s a partisan position.
*JI will say the same about me, but I will say that if it is found that Trump had documents of national importance for some good reason or if it was mistaken, then I will accept it and not say it’s a conspiracy by Trumpist elites. I don’t see any good reason for him to have important documents like this, but I don’t want to rule out being wrong for whatever reason.
