        The argument is that these are split hairs. - jakers - 1:20pm 9/26/25
        Even if you believe that - and I don't - how does that make what Trump is doing OK? - Chris94 - 4:52pm 9/26/25
        It's not about 2 wrongs making a right. It's about a deterrent. - jakers - 5:15pm 9/26/25
        That's not how this works - Chris94 - 5:25pm 9/26/25
