What do you mean by this? That the price is so high they may as well make it one million?

No, not really. That just means one or more of three things:

  1. Because Biden's actions didn't affect them at all. Like a tornado not destroying your house.

  2. Because someone else helped them (e.g. Republican organizations handing out money - which is.... fantasy)

  3. Because in spite of Biden's actions affecting everybody, those people still had some money left to donate. Like how during a recession many people lost their jobs, and some of those people lost their houses, but some others could still make their mortgage payments.

In the end, I understand what you're saying, and even though we differ on how stupid Trump's message is, we agree that it was a stupid (and false) thing to say.

My point about intention was that a lion can be an unreasonable force of nature like a hurricane. So swapping a lion for a hurricane didn’t change your argument.

(I didn't downvote you, by the way.)

A lion can have intentions. It can have the clear intention to eat you. Again, you didn't say reasonable intention. You just said intention. But anyway, I know that's not the point of the argument.

You are still insisting on a scenario in which there are two different actions (lions blocking some people and helping others), whereas the way I understood it is that just one action was the cause of two opposite consequences. I guess that can happen (a fire killing some animals but making others flee and flourish elsewhere), but Trump was only referring to one consequence (Nobody has money because Biden bad.)

I just want to say that this is a fun conversation somehow, and I appreciate you continuing responding.

Having said that, c'mon, man, you're moving the goalpost again. First you said intention was missing. I added intention, and now you say that human intelligence is missing. What will be missing next? Quantum entanglement?

I see what you're saying now, but that's a different argument.

You're saying now that if two things happen, and good and one bad, Trump assigns blame or praise depending on which one it is. I understand that one.

But you originally said that one thing, not two, whose only intention is to cause harm, does both good and bad. And that makes no sense.

If the difference is intention, then that's like saying "You can't go to the supermarket because a bunch of lions are intentionally blocking the front door. It follows that if you can go to the supermarket, it's because the lions are intentionally blocking the front door."

I mean, I hate Trump with every fiber of my body. But that logic is flawed.

That's like saying "If the reason why those who can't donate is because hurricane Andrew destroyed their homes, then those who can donate is thanks to hurricane Andrew giving them an extra home."

No, you're right. It's just that it was such a big ridiculous thing back in the day. Like, meme material big. So for a second it didn't occur to me that not everyone was paying attention to everything Trump was doing as a president.

I don't know, man. To me that's still speculation. But did say you were guessing, so that's okay. I just thought that you had a clear indicator of mental issues.

It could very well be that someone started stalking him, or sending him death threats, and he simply said "yeah, fuck this."

Or that he started the project to get some groupie ass, then got ass, then he was done with it all.

Or he got bored and moved on to the next interesting thing.

Why are you guessing the mental issues part? Has the admin given any indications of that in the past?

Because, it sounds to me, that if he was running a free service on his free time because he felt like it, then he doesn't owe anybody anything. He can simply vanish for the simple reason that he got bored, and that should be enough.

Bro, that was what, like, five years ago?
