    Yeah, okay. You’ve annoyed me just enough, and I am autistic just enough, that I’m willing to dig into this. What claims are you arguing are speculative and poorly supported, exactly? I’ll see what I can find.

      I will certainly entertain an individual not afraid to think, and I too would like to delve deeper. Let us begin with my following conclusions to see if we can determine any flawed logic or blatant inaccuracies. I too, am patient, willing, and have plenty of time.

      –Causal conclusion: Inaction: Trump escapes accountability - The post tries to draw a straight line from Biden not investigating to Trump avoiding jail. This is a causal claim that assumes the evidence existed, was prosecutable, and that action would have yielded a specific outcome — none of which are established.

      –Character conclusion: Biden was deliberately self-sabotaging The word “intentionally” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. The post moves from “Biden made unpopular decisions” to “he did it on purpose,” without evidence of motive. Incompetence, institutional deference, and deliberate betrayal are very different things, but the post collapses them into one.

      –Prescriptive conclusion: Democrats need a different kind of candidate This is the post’s real destination — everything before it is framing to arrive here. The factual claims about the guards and Biden serve as emotional fuel to land on “we need someone that will actually fight.” It’s a political argument dressed in factual clothing.

        Damn man, I just got back from taking my wife and son to physical therapy. Now I plan to build a Meshtastic node with my son, teach him a few things. After that, my wife will be home and I’ll probably clean up a bit… maybe mop. Then we’re going to watch our TV show before bed, eventually rewrap my wounded finger, and go to sleep. I’ll only be on here for a few minutes at a time, like now as I’m shitting, providing half baked responses to whatever catches my attention. You sir, will get a fuller answer than I am able to provide now. Mostly likely, it will come on Monday while I’m busy procrastinating work items.
