Quote:
A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the proper idea of argument under discussion was not addressed or properly refuted. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects.

DC was swarmed with thousands of them, he couldn't miss them, If was a failure of leadership. Why so sensitive? At least his wife passed out goodies.sycasey said:So you think every relocation order for a particular unit goes all the way up to the President?

So it seems like the troops were sent to the garage for less than a day. By the end we saw Senators from both parties expressing outrage and asking they be brought back into the Capitol.BearForce2 said:DC was swarmed with thousands of them, he couldn't miss them, If was a failure of leadership.

A poor order was given down the chain of command. It was corrected within hours. Probably also well below Joe Biden's level on the chain of command. What that means is that somebody in the chain of command DID show leadership.BearForce2 said:DC was swarmed with thousands of them, he couldn't miss them, If was a failure of leadership.

Vanessa Guillen was murdered by a fellow soldier in April. I suppose you think that Trump is guilty of her murder since the person who did it was within his chain of command.
Your pain is evident in the absolute stupidity of the reaching nature of your posts. It's still funny. Keep them up.
Do you think Joe Biden is regularly strolling through the Capitol at night? The Capitol is where Congress meets.

Poor comparison. All eyes were on the Capitol for the past several weeks as thousands of National Guardsmen were being vetted and then apparently, left overnight in a parking garage.
If he didn't notice or were aware of the 26,000 men in uniform in DC and at his inauguration, we're in trouble. At least Jill passed out goodies.sycasey said:Do you think Joe Biden is regularly strolling through the Capitol at night? The Capitol is where Congress meets.
