(11,122 posts)Trying to make sense of this one is pointless (much like the posts that this sig produces)
The only job requirement for the position of PS is to blindly attack any liberal who has a problem with anything this administration does. Logic. Thought. Consistency. None of that is required. The only point is to engage thoughtful people and keep them busy trying to figure out what the hell is the point of the PS reply. There are occasionally drastic style and attitude changes from PS. For a while there was even some attempt at truthful engagement. That didn't last long. Sometimes there are a couple of months when there are a lot of OP's and some attempt to support an argument. We seem to be in a new regime where snark, misdirection, and off-topic references are the style of the current writer.
I like to engage when it bumps an OP I think needs to be read. I avoid if I want the thread to sink. But don't bother trying to understand what is being said. That way lies inanity.
