Here is the meta news - Page 4 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

You made the content with a bald (naked, empty) assertion of 'pretzel logic' in context of progressives. Is it overly tiring to give an example of reasoning which explains the pretzel logic?

Oh that. Okay. My fav example in recent history is this thread actually, the thread after no threads about individuals or posters. Classic double-think. My comment wasn't a bluff, it was thin value bet.

Then the goal posts move, and it's not even gradual... to be about fake news.

Yup. And then, he appears to suggest that changing the title after the goal posts have been moved somehow changes the underlying premise of this thread, #teameinbert. Found this online for sale:

Spoiler:

Do you want more examples? Because I'll be accused of derailing.

It's not double-think- which is an exactly describable phenomenon. A friendly shout-out is not reasonably the same as making a thread to isolate and denigrate a person.

Stop doing pseudo-psychology, please, for your own good at least..

You haven't apparently considered or factored in why einbert was given a shout out; or that chez appears to have understood the context of the thread by recognizing why einbert was given a shout out. I don't have any goals posted so I don't have any goal posts to shift.
Hope this helps.

Clear as mud as always. I mean, it is smooth of you to quit while you imagine yourself to be ahead so you can imagine victory. I mean, this is hilarious. You admit #einbert is given a shout out. You've been shown that it's against chez's ruling. And now your refuge is, "well there where reasons why" (paraphrasing), and even without you elaborating it is entirely irrelevant what those reasons were. I mean, talk about pretzel logic.

Pretty standard. I'd bet nobody else reading cares to elaborate on your clear as mud, intuition needed, poasting either.

You're welcome. I'm happy to assist with missed context while it can potentially lead to understanding.

I'd think the results would complement your superior reasoning skills, clearly. If you should change your mind, PM me, or otherwise express interest, but wager is firm at $100. For me, it's a value bet.

Not weird. I think you're a pretzel logician who can't reason out of a hat that is best suited attempting to make thread after thread as clear as mud, and that an IQ test would compliment your pretzel logician skillset. You think otherwise. $100 is between friendly and combative as I am not entirely at war with you, but to be clear, I will not waste more time with you.

I'm not sure who wins about that because it's not a race, it's a thread about a a truly heroic champion of tweeting the news, but not on twitter.

Or you just under-estimated people and specualted. And still, the observations about context stands.

If you want to argue whether or not politics is truly a team sport, I can do that. But I gotta warn you- I have had practice.

wookie didn't make the thread, I did.

And it's the best thread ever, basically.

Also, the TEAM is The News and those who believe in The News.

Well, if you are referring to tomdemaine instead of einbert for his first 100 days of the Trump presidency catalog stickied in the P forum, you'd have a point.

For example, this from the Milo thread:

Of course, this could be an opportunity for the clear as mud context "argument". I mean, given the context, the video is an extremely thoughtful poast.
