    Do you think that this is the sole issue anyone is focusing on?

    Or maybe, its being reported as evidence for yet another reason trump shouldnt be in office?

    you are aware people can focus on and discuss more than a singular issue at a time?

    But people do have a limit to the number of things they can focus on at a time. Made up non-issue bullshit like this just gives the conservatives something to point to to justify their dismissal when legitimate news percolates through the bullshit to reach them, and takes attention that could be better spent on real news elsewhere.

    I've been there and if you had asked me yesterday what it was called there's a better than even chance I'd have called it Miracle Mile as well.

    Magnificent Mile just sounds... well... it sounds like something Trump made up TBH. 😉

    People are getting too hung up on the name and not hung up enough on Trump advocating to use the military to protect commercial properties, in other words literal Fascism.

    I'm not faulting him for Miracle over Magnificent, because that's not the real problem. 😉

    I'm not, I'm criticizing this article taking up just that little bit more of the public's bandwidth with stupid rhetoric. There's more than enough that we should be worrying about and ample crimes he's guilty of, why do we need to bother manufacturing evidence when there's already overwhelming mountains of evidence just laying around? All this does is discredit our legitimate criticism by association and take up visual space that could be filled with real news.

    manufacturing evidence

    was his slip up made up? did he not misstate yet another thing?

    Why do you think more evidence is a bad idea?

    has all the evidence so far done anything to his administration? …no? so maybe its a good idea to collect more evidence.

    This is really simple stuff my dude

    Was this in any way consequential? Does this show any evidence of anything besides mispeaking? Wait no don't answer that, I spectacularly don't care. Instead of talking about something that actually matters you're starting to drag us both into a debate about the evidentiary value of an old guy briefly mixing up two names that both start with 'm'.

    Isn't, just maybe, that he's trying to get troops deployed in US soil once again perhaps a little more important to discuss? But somehow that's getting overshadowed by your eagerness to spar over the meaningless bullshit I'm criticizing, in a perfect example of my entire godsdamned point.

    agreed.

    what are you doing about it? marching in the streets? hiding ICE targets in your home? protesting ICE raids?

    Or sitting at home, picking your bumhole on the internet whining at me?

    Ah, so now we're pivoting from discussing my actual criticism of the article and how it spawns meaningless discussions to... another meaningless discussion, but this time with random gatekeeping thrown in.

    Youre whining this article distracts from important topics.

    So I changed over to discussing what I presume are important topics to you.

    You instead flail. Its ok - keep crying but doing nothing. Its the American Way.
