Spin, half-truths and general BS

Before you accuse someone, it might be wise to understand exactly what you are accusing them of doing.

From Wikipedia

Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.[2] The terms ad mulierem[3] and ad feminam[4] have been used when the person receiving the criticism is a woman.
Notice the sentence segment - whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument-

Now, in the header I did call you a Jerkazoid, but, but I did not avoid the argument, in fact, I did rebut your argument

“Under YOUR scenario, the Russians came to Donald Jr.
ergo, Donald Jr. did not solicit info from the Russians, the Russians (supposedly) offered information.
So, since when is it a crime to accept information?
The left's wet blanket.
Have a better wet dream tonight.
MAGA”
