[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 336741, member: 195"] Let me begin by apologizing for the sarcasm in some of what follows. It is not intended as insult or attack but rather as a way of making a point. So, yeah, I really don't understand why we don't have pages of posts from you about how we don't have any evidence that the land mass of Russia knows how to drive a vehicle let alone hit President Obama with a car. Yet Trump said Russian ran over the president. Why don't you bring out the big guns and say that Trump has not provided any evidence that the leakers believe he's a witch. You see, I really fear that you are being serious and have no idea how strange your post is. I'm also beginning to wonder if Rachel Maddow did a few shows on how Trump thinks the "Deep State" folk believe he's a witch, you'd buy it. Seriously, you are aware that when punctuation marks can have different uses, the same person can use them in different ways, right? I think that most people have no problem figuring out what he means in each one of the tweets you posted. I just googled around, and somehow found, a "crazy-right-wing-Trump-loving" website called [B][U][URL='http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/quotation_(speech)_marks_meaning_alleged_so-called.htm']grammar monster[/URL][/U][/B] which instructs using quotation marks "[B][U]to denote [I]alleged[/I] or[I] so-called[/I][/U][/B]" and "[B][U]to denote [I]not literally[/I][/U][/B]." A person can even use quotes inaccurately without it meaning that what they contain is meant literally. For example, I have no idea whether my use of quotes to be both sarcastic and an allusion to your earlier reference to extreme right wing nut jobs for people who disagree with you on the reliability of politifact is a legitimate usage. However, I clearly don't mean that grammar monster is literally a crazy-right-win-Trump-loving site. So, he sometimes used quotes to indicate not literal, "wires tapped," and sometimes to indicate a so-called referent, "leakers," "Fake News," and "rigged," each of which had become nearly technical terms or labels in the political campaign. When he says that President Obama was "kind" to Iran, I think it's clear that Trump is construing it that way without trying to suggest that President Obama had seen it as an act of kindness. I really think that any level of generosity of heart, any degree of judgment unclouded by hate, would let you see these things clearly. Your reference to Trump's comments to Merkel kind of prove the point. Even there, he was alluding to her cell phone calls being intercepted, not to her cell phone being literally tapped. There are no wires to tap! Again, I very much appreciate that you are discussing this topic in a back-and-forth way. In the past, I've been bothered that you didn't respond to questions. While we may disagree, at least as we continue to talk back and forth, we may come to a better understanding. So, thanks again. [/QUOTE]
