I never claimed I wasn't arguing. Just not about the straw man in question.
Claiming something is a straw man doesn't make it so. Its a legitimate side to the argument, You are ignoring it because it allows you to claim victory on a very narrow issue, instead of looking at the broader issue.
Its okay, call us hilarious again.
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

This started out as the predictable angry Imam/JL back and forth with Creek entering the fray. But instead of ignoring it like the rest of CS usually does, a few are joining in open rebellion.
I'm a little nervous about how all this will shake out...

Careful, bro. You don't want to mess with the wrong Imam.

No that's you, bro. I came up with that myself. I thought that was pretty clever, if I do say so myself!

Yet another reason for Congress to require Drumpf's release of his tax returns. How better to reveal what I suspect are some very significant financial ties to Mother Russia?

I thought Flynn was one of Trump's better choices, and I respect the General's service to the country over the years, but I'm still scratching my head over his letter of resignation, and these two lines in particular:
Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. I have sincerely apologized....
I am tendering my resignation, honored to have served our nation and the American people in such a distinguished way.

This is so weird. I am not ignoring it. I have stipulated multiple times that yes, he was able to pass most of his legislation! I have never argued otherwise.
I guess you are arguing that his defeat in attempting to fundamentally restructure the court doesn't matter because he was able to pass his legislation anyway. I disagree because I think it would have made a permanent shift in the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches. It matters! And that is why it was defeated, in spite of his overwhelming popularity as president.
