Sounds like a concession.
Not in the least. I'm not going to change my mind and you're obviously not going to change yours.
We've each made our determination and time alone will tell who is right or wrong.

I can argue my point more vociferously if you so choose,
but that option is purely up to you.
I'm trying to be polite out of respect.
I'm not making a concession.

So argue it then. I'm a grizzled veteran here going on my 20th year in the FR trenches. I've battled, been banned, posts have been deleted, posting on marathon threads until dawn, etc. Nothing can faze me anymore.

I am point-blank saying that anyone who believes that Trump ran for President for s--ts and giggles, or trying to grow his brand is sorely mistaken. Trump was asked to run to clean out the corrupt cesspool that is D.C. All of what's happening is being done by the finest military operation with cutting-edge laser precision in what is arguably our nation's Second Revolution.

Now, you can pooh-pooh or be discouraged that nothing is taking place, when in fact dozens of Congresscritters have resigned or not sought re-election, dozens of DOJ and FBI personnnel have been fired, and dozens of CEOs from major corporations have stepped down. And two of the most prominent of Deep State leaders - John McCain and George Bush I - are dead.
