But that it was not doesn't change what he wanted or said. You're giving Trump some kind of credit for not being 100% an idiot because the courts shot down one attempt and he went with Muslim ban lite.
in other words Dill's actions :showing what it was called and by who and why...are more important that his words: Muslim ban. You just want to argue that one fine point rather than whatever larger point is being discussed because...Trump.
There's a phrase or two for that. I'm sure they will come to me.
I'm not avoiding talking about anyone or anything. As I said in the post that started this conversation, his post was excellent except for referring to the travel ban, erroneously, as a "muslim ban". I wasn't defending anyone or deflecting from anything. As to your other point, I have zero issue with someone interjecting when they have something to add or clarification to be made. In this case you did neither. You just reiterated the exact same things Dill said and threw in a lame jab about me not being able to defend Trump. Defending Trump, or avoiding talking about him, was never even part of this discussion, but you had to mention it for "reasons".
In other words, it's not the fact that a post was made, but that the post was worthless.
