It has to be difficult to write serious analyses of ongoing political issues when the PotUS just babbles whatever wishful thinking, delusions or lies appeal to him at any given second.
When I wrote that post, I was pretty sure that somebody would try to do an end run on "2+2=5 is wrong" to try to undermine the point.
There are just too many people , especially on the internet, who have based their self-affirmation on ad hominem for an illustration of its inherent failure to go unchallenged.
If the person who says that 2+2=4 is a blithering idiot and a compulsive liar, they're still right.
If the person who says that 2+2=5 is a world-renowned mathematical genius, they're still wrong.
And if you base your choice between those competing claims on the people who make them rather than analyzing the claims themselves, you'll be wrong too.
HOAs exist solely so that priggish twats who obsess about what the neighbors are doing can actually throw their miniscule weight around rather than, as they should be, being relegated to merely standing in their living rooms, glaring through their windows and bitching ineffectually.

Ken Martin - "I have made my position on this clear from day one: We must end the influence of dark money in our politics and restore power back to the people.”
No. In fact, you have made it clear, and yet again with this vote, that your position is that you must make mealy-mouthed quasi-promises to end the influence of dark money, but then consistently fail to actually do anything at all meaningful that might actually accomplish anything toward that goal.
I'm pretty sure I have some from almost random pointd throughout at least a good part of my life squirreled away somewhere, but I couldn't tell you where.
My favorite ex-girlfriend has a bajillion pictures of me, since she takes photos constantly and always wants people in them, so I was the most common subject for a time. I never even really looked at them then though, and now they're on the other side of the country (though if they were here, I still probably wouldn't look at them).
It's not so much that I dislike them or anything - I've just never really seen the point, and never even really think about it.
Very simple dynamic at work here - behavior that you want repeated is rewarded.
It's only punished if you don't want it repeated.
