>…you had absolutely no difficulty whatsoever criticizing POTUS when he happened to be a Democrat. Strange behavior coming from somebody who claims to be neutral….

 

I didn’t claim to be neutral on that guy.  Only the current one.

>…So I guess I would be correct in concluding that you were being arrogant and ignorant when you criticized President Biden for not cracking down on illegal immigration….

 

Illegal immigration is illegal.  POTUS does not get to choose which laws to enforce and which to ignore.

 

>…If the JCPOA inspectors had found a gross violation of the Iran nuclear deal, what possible reason would Donald have for telling them to keep their mouth shut about it? And FOR 8 YEARS?!

 

We don’t know.  It is OK to acknowledge that we don’t know, particularly in light of information they found out using means they can’t talk about.

 

>… GPT-2 would have been a far FAR better arbiter of the truth than Donald J Trump.

GPT-2 claimed that the current POTUS colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.  I haven’t checked recently to see if it is still claiming that.

 

Regarding information they found out by means they can’t talk about, consider the 1960 election between John Kennedy and Richard Nixon.  At that time, the USA was doing covert overflights of Moscow.  Using that technique, they saw a military parade in which the commies displayed a caravan of marvelous new military equipment.  They closed off the streets, looped the parade back and displayed the same equipment multiple times to assure the proles they had a lot more stuff than they really had.

 

The ground assets reported the number of missiles, but the overflights revealed it was bogus, a bluff.  Nixon, being the VP at the time, was cleared to know this, but Senator Kennedy was not.  So Kennedy was free to run on a missile gap, while Nixon was not able to refute the missile gap without revealing how he knew.  Nixon knew the commies were bluffing and we had more missiles than they did but could not reveal it.  Kennedy won by running on a non-existent missile gap.
