She didn't give a false reason why they weren't listed. She did include them last year, but for some reason they were never disclosed until now. Also, they happened before they were required to list them, I believe. Not trying to make excuses for her, but at least she isn't making up nonsensical reasons why she forgot she took a private jet to Bali to go on a mega-yacht. Inadvertently omitted doesn't even make sense. Fwiw, I don't care if they're left or right. Same standard for all is fine with me. Lying, failing to disclose, and being conflicted are three separate issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your standard is different for individuals, and you really seem to care if they’re left or right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally just told you "Same standard for all is fine with me", and your response was that??? You're basically trolling me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m observing and conversing. You have applied rigid standards in one case, offered a “not offering excuses for her analysis” while offering excuses for her. As for applying the same standard, given your rationalization of the actions of Sotomayor, I can only assume that you mean, perhaps, at some future point? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple acknowledgment that she’s probably not the most trustworthy source of information probably would helps with your credibility.

That's all "Deflecting" when I answered your question directly? If I were you, I would seriously consider filing a lawsuit against the elementary school you attended, and every teacher who ever taught you under the Victims of Crappy Educators Act. Do you think AOC is corrupt under your standards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
