You are a trip, don’t get a stiff neck trying to keep your chin up.

Your sentence made no sense you should attempt to read your posts over before posting.

Flowers for followers.
The dangling participle was the least of your problems.

But following Hannity anywhere is a questionable act to start (with).
What does that even mean? I’m guessing that you think following Hannity is useless, bootless, but questionable?

Questionable logic is logic that does not follow logical principles and is neither truthful nor valid.

You may question why someone would follow Hannity but English usage doesn’t allow you to say that following Hannity is a questionable act.

questionable
adjective

1Doubtful as regards truth or validity.
with clause ‘it is questionable whether any of these exceptions is genuine’

Also using the phrase ‘to start with” implies you are using that initial point to build to a conclusion...oops you made none.

>> Questionable logic is logic that does not follow logical principles <<

The phrase "questionable logic" is just a tad oxymoronic, doncha think?

I mean, if it's questionable, then perhaps it was never logic of any sort.

(I get your larger point, of course. But because you are somebody who preaches in favor of clear expression, maybe you could come up with a better term?)
