one of the candidates repeatedly said, that's whataboutism.

Here.. A perfect explanation of whataboutism (and most of incogs arguments). A much better explanation than I could give.

"Whataboutism
Whataboutism is a rhetorical technique where a person responds to an accusation or criticism by deflecting it with a counter-accusation or by raising a different issue, often to avoid addressing the original criticism directly.
This tactic is considered a form of logical fallacy, specifically a tu quoque (Latin for "you too") argument, which is a type of ad hominem fallacy.
The goal is typically to distract from the content of the original topic, question the legitimacy of the critic, or suggest a false equivalence."

[Incogneeto]

You sir, have never been in a back and forth with Incog. 

By the time the conversation is over you can't even remember what you were talking about in the first place.

Think of Tennis.

I'm always the one serving you just deflect it Back.

I don't usually see Saagar going hard on people on the right. 

They do have an interesting take on this. Including whether or not the attack was even constitutional.

You have got to be shitting me!

Is it crazy to want Trump to replace this guy with somebody who is a "little" less loyal and a "little" bit more competent?!?!

Hegseth had a second Signal chat where he shared details of Yemen strike

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth created another Signal messaging chat that included his wife and brother where he shared similar details of a March military airstrike against Yemen's Houthi militants that were sent in another chain with top Trump administration leaders, The New York Times reported.

A person familiar with the contents and those who received the messages, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, confirmed the second chat to The Associated Press.

The second chat on Signal — which is a commercially available app not authorized to be used to communicate sensitive or classified national defense information — included 13 people, the person said. The person also confirmed the chat was dubbed "Defense ' Team Huddle."

The New York Times reported that the group included Hegseth's wife, Jennifer, who is a former Fox News producer, and his brother Phil Hegseth, who was hired at the Pentagon as a Department of Homeland Security liaison and senior adviser. Both have traveled with the defense secretary and attended high-level meetings.

I thought he wasn't experienced enough for the job.

I got that message but reported it as spam and deleted it.

It's in several different news sources.

Imagine how bunched the collective panties of this board would be if a Democratic administration had done this.

Funny how the left has a never ending supply of people "close to" whatever fake outrage they are peddling who always seem to speak on a condition of anonymity.

[Smit]

It's too bad you're not as cynical about right wing stuff as left wing stuff.

Kinda like your food beliefs.

The board's biggest peddler of absolutely false information is whining about fake outrage. I fucking love this place.
