“Does any of this absolve Russia? No.”
Worldtraveler-once-upon-a-time finally gets it correct! LOL
So wrote UMCRevMom to GLeeAikin (note the use of capital letters....) Indeed I got it correct. But not just the excerpt, which is how those who would prevaricate operate. I got the whole paragraph correct.
"Does any of this absolve Russia? No. But it does paint non-NATO Ukraine is a light less favorable into which the Biden-McConnell-Schumer team want to pour more -- what's that word? -- MONEY. "Isn't it interesting how people play with words? Of all the mental modules ( Project Zero/Harvard & Howard Gardner as references ) the mental domain most easily adapted to lying is language.
One method of prevarication is to excerpt in an attempt to blur the larger meaning. And "laughing out loud" is so 'high school.' As depending on a religious title, as did Reverend Erin Gullickson, is sometimes be less that proof of truth telling. For example, as posted to FR only this morning:
McLean County pastor convicted of stealing from church, faces up to 10 years in prison Bismarck Tribune, 1 February 2024.
"After Gullickson was charged Bishop Craig Schweitzer of the ELCA's Western North Dakota Synod suspended her from her pastoral duties with pay. The synod council later removed Gullickson from its roster of pastors, according to Schweitzer."
