Can you possibly drop that ridiculous “best construction“ phrase, Julio? It does not always apply. And here’s why.
There is no best construction to put on the unimaginable crap that comes from the Qanon people, One of them now a member of Congress, one of them until a couple of days ago an Attorney for the president.
There is no best construction to put on the verified lies, thousands of them, from the man who is still in the White House.
There is no best instruction to put on the lies from convicted criminals who support him, probably seeking a pardon.
There is no best construction to put on a clear violation of recent protocols concerning the transfer of presidential authority.
And you are foolishly wrong to say that I slander and belittle and personally attack anyone with whom I disagree. I do not do that.
Most of the people with whom I disagree really, in the grand scheme of things, don’t matter much.
The president of our United States does matter.
So when he lies, when he cheats, when he attempts to undermine democracy, when he acts like a tantrum-throwing five-year-old, you can be darn sure I am going to oppose that. Because it matters.
