Am I arguing with Franz Kafka or is this Catch-22?
As Ronald Reagan was fond of saying, "here you go again." Your words:
You're the one who first thought Gaetz' actions "might" be due to his frustration instead of him actually taking action because he believes in the issue.
I disagree with that assessment. I think it's an unfair assessment.
I made no "assessment" whatsoever. You're the only one here who has made that assessment. I merely raised a possibility, preceded by the words, "I'm not sure." Odd that I would say "I'm not sure" as well as the word "might" when making an "assessment."
You may be quite right, Gaetz might well be motivated by a problem with the issue rather than frustration over being cut out of a leadership role, I don't know. By the way, neither do you.
Oops! Here you go again:
I did not accuse you of being cynical. I said your comment was "unfortunate and not convincing".
Of course you accused me of serving up cynical suggestions, here are your words:
Not sure what your frustration is with it, but to suggest cynical intent by Gaetz is unfortunate and not convincing.
Finally, if you had taken a moment to conjure up all your brain cells and pay attention to what I actually wrote, you would understand that I made no assertion or "assessment." Rather, I mooted a possibility which indicates no attempt even to be "convincing" but perhaps an attempt to solicit opinion about what in fact are Gaetz' motives and, more importantly, to solicit opinion about whether McCarthy is opening up leadership to MAGA inclined members of his caucus or freezing them out?
Lest you twist these words as well as everything else you seem to read, I don't know the answer to that question but I would like to know.
