  Sorry, I was in the process of writing a long form answer about how the US has lost it's ability to claim the moral highground and it's ability to admonish other countries, claiming the truth, justice and the american way. And also a paragraph or two on how those committing a 'wrong' often view people telling them they are wrong as being biased. but then I thought, hmm, the current president's style of interacting is a cheap, emotive, sound bite to appeal to his audience, so I thought I would respond in a manner similar to that. have a nice day.

    hmm, remind me to never try to explain or apologize for anything anymore. maybe an attitude of doubling-down and arguing is the only valid approach these days.

  Off this topic, Is this article flagged for being politics, or some other reason? With a few exceptions the discussion seemed substantive.
  • sctb 8y ago
    Users are almost certainly flagging it for being pure politics, which is off topic.
