Sorry, my good friend, but no sale. You are sounding less like a seasoned professional analyst and more like that lunatic Congressman from Houston, Al Green. Since Democrat Party politicians, the party of Slavery, Secession, Segregation, and Sedition, have by their childish temper tantrums publicly diminished themselves from “... federal legislators to the level of graffiti artists” (to quote a prominent Constitutional lawyer) I will continue to remain a member in good standing with the Republican Party. When you get around to offering positive alternatives rather than just howling at the moon I will be more than willing to listen to a rational presentation.

Sorry my friend but we both know that you cannot support any of your MAGA screeds. You have not provided a single credible source in the past decade of your un-American, anti-patriotic rumblings in support of the indefensible. As you know, I will not tolerate yours, nor anyone else’s false narratives on my posts.

So, since your musings are a sampling of school yard insults with slightly better vocabulary, I will response with something from the playground, in hope that you will finally understand, “it’s time for you to put up or shut up.” You support treason.

You really do need to get a better script writer, my friend. This sad repetitiveness is getting both boring and tiresome. We both know that I have provided credible sources on numerous occasions over these many years only to have you cavalierly dismiss them out of hand because these learned conclusions refute your preferred view of reality.

Because I value our friendship I will ignore your baseless libels and continue to hold out hope that eventually we may have a rational and thoughtful conversation on this important topic of domestic American politics. My door is always open, my friend.

You know that truth is not libel and since that you refuse to honor any semblance of truth, I will continue on my pursuit of recapturing our constitutional republic, from baseless traitors who could not provide a fact, for any reason. Yes, my door as well, but barring any apology and the following atonement for your party and your dishonesty and as long as you make no effort to discuss truth, the threshold of that door, will remain free of scuff marks. I knew you before MAGA claimed your heart and reason. Now, while the US murders men women and children of our former allies, to satisfy Putin, I find no time for sourceless conversations. This is on you exclusively to right the wrong of slanderous and libelous comments that you have made on my posts here and elsewhere. I gave you a decade to tell the truth. You ignored every second of that decade. How much latitude should I allow for outright dishonesty? Like the Civil War, of which today’s GOP shares much of their ideology, this coup has set the bar for talk, well below any point worth attempting. You and your precious GOP of traitors, white supremacists and oligarchs, must be stopped in order for our nation to survive. This is no longer politics, it’s a civil war of your making.
