Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: False reasonableness

[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote]I've seen him admit he talked about Biden. I've seen papers that show he locked down funds a few months before that talk. I've read the transcript. I haven't seen anything that links his discussion of Biden with the withholding of funds (though I <i>have</i> seen the video of Biden bragging about withholding funds if Ukraine wouldn't meet his demands) other than media speculation before the transcript release. To be fair, there's a LOT of media speculation flooding the Internet, so I'm happy to admit error if there's something I've missed. I mean, unless you're referring to Appleyard's articles that use phrases like "...he implicitly admitted..." and then run with that premise as though they'd used the word "explicitly."[/quote] Adopt the trappings of reasoned argument but with the total absence of reason.[/quote]
