You then said that you saw no Republican say that there was no threat. You painted them as merely “unhappy” and asked to point out a Republican doubting the threat.

I did. Paul clearly said that the administration showed no specific threat. Lee implied it heavily.

There's no moving the goalpost there is a logical fallacy in place known as "argumentum ad ignorantiam"

Person A: "What did you think of the briefing"

Person B: "It was terrible in content, they spoke in generalizations and failed to share specifics that constituted the POTUS' actions"

Person A: "Person B feels there was nothing to support POTUS' actions"

It's taking an absence of information (ignorance) and using it to draw a conclusion where none was given.

I'll accept responsibility for being overly abrasive in a few of my retorts, but there is no intellectual dishonesty (on my part), moving the goalpost, or focus on semantics. It was simply pointing something asserted that was not.
