And, with all due respect - your "you guys want this to be true, so you stitch together your story" can very easily be used against you. What with your willingness to cherry pick facts and refuse to recognize known facts...

Right. Particularly since THE VERY FIRST CLAIM he made shows a misunderstanding of the public record.

I apologise for sharing a point of view that is too hard for you to engage with. I will now leave your echo chamber. Peace.

The view that asks for *a single fact* to back up a claim you made? Well, yeah. Sorry. I'm a stickler for believing that boys who can't summon a single solitary fact to support their argument are not, themselves, the ones to lecture about made up reality.

For the record, you rejected a NYT article. I'm not so obsessed about this as to have it all at my fingertips--super happy about that , now that I think of it. I'm a stickler for believing that liberal girls who sneer at the NYT are just playing games. Or something. Again, peace.

Yes. I rejected a NYT narrative bc you don't want narratives, you want facts. Veselnitskaya has explained how that meeting got scheduled (and not by her). There are emails that explain it. Neither accords w/your version.

Big kudos for spelling all these names right! And I appreciate the spacing; my eyesight sucks. Feel free to link--I'd love to look. But, again, it seems you're latched on to the facts that fit what you hope is true, rejecting some other facts, and so....

It helps to have a PhD involving a slavic language. But thanks for applauding my ability to spell when you're still struggling to find a single fact.
