seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.

I do as well, and I’ve already said I misread or misposted under wrong comment. I just broke my wrist and am taking serious pain meds. That probably has something to do with my not responding with my usual precision.

Actually, I either misread your post or I was responding to the wrong one in the thread. I see that you said that the results of the second haven’t been released. Sorry about the confusion.

And the post above does not speculate; it states those bullet points as fact. At this stage, all of this is unsubstantiated rumor.

The other one said it was unconfirmed when click past the clickbait post. We confirmed that no results released and respect the family enough (and journalism ethics) not to speculate. We’ll post accurately when results released.

Every piece starts with a shitty first draft. You have to just write your thoughts down and see where it goes from there. Anyone can do needed research to back up your argument. It sounds like you’re getting in your own way, which is a common problem.
