So we simply wait until a case is resolved, and the majority of the time, he turns out to be wrong.

I plan to start reading his posts more closely.

Is Tanq a "traditional Republican" (i.e., the type person the hard-core Trump supporters call RINOs)?

He really does consider himself to be a libertarian with conservative leanings. (Or that's what he told us.) Instead, he just acts like a leftist riddled with TDS because every single position he's taken on legal matters up to this point is the opposite of Trump's. (That's my own personal observation.) If nothing else, he's just a Never Trumper.

I cluelessly assumed Tanq was a leftist.

The never Trumpers I've met are generally highly educated, 50 and older and rather conventional with their conservative beliefs. This could be Tang.

This is not necessarily true either. Don't try to put people here into any kind of box. If you hang around long enough you'll see us all arguing different sides of issues.

That would be correct from my time around here.

Leftists don't get disagreeing amongst their peers. They believe in group think.

My full post was this, b2b:

If that is the case, Tanq might be more despised by some on the board than they loathe the average "libtard" poster. In short, if one is not "pro-Trump," one is a "RINO" (and may as well be a liberal).

I failed to make clear there are "some" on the board (and not all) who seemingly (maybe I'm wrong) consider a RINO as loathsome as a "libtard." But I was not fully clear now that I re-read my post.

My fumble.

Bill, Tanq is not a leftist. He's just not in the MAGA cult of trump.

I'm sure you've been writing up your rebuttal for Trump's SOTU speech tomorrow night for all of us to here on Wednesday morning.

Yep. I was wrong about Tanq.

I'm glad I now know.

thanks, Tom

Yeah, Tanq only plays a lefty on this board, lol. He just hates Trump. Everything else is secondary.

How about you seek help instead of telling other people what to do, Tom?

Don't need it. I'm not the one worrying about where you were yesterday, nor what you watch on TV tonight or comment on tomorrow.

It's "telling" that you'll interact all day with Andy, but won't interact with others because they "waste your time".

Don't worry. I'm a waste of his time, too. He's told me.

The only type of help Tom seeks is his monthly spousal support.

I wish I could feel sorry for him getting a divorce, since it's the right thing to do.
