> vague, hand-wavy allegation

There's nothing "vague" about the past couple of weeks of news, court-cases, admissions, and flat-out bragging by the administration. Stop feigning ignorance.

> staking out a pro-deception stance

The real pro-deception stance is yours: Demanding that known falsehoods and propaganda be repeated verbatim.

Pretending not to know what "vague" means isn't an argument.

Expecting honest quotations is pro-deception. Got it. Good chat, Beelzebub.

except it was an honest quotation. what I wrote was said by Trump in the video.

If you share a quote out of context, knowing that it will be taken to mean something other than what it obviously meant in context, you are being deceptive.

Children are taught this in middle school.

it is not out of context. you are being deceptive that somehow surrounding context of the statement justifies such a horrible proposition from POTUS.

So you don't know what context means, got it.
