There are actually quite a few synonyms for upset. Which is why it’s a dumb tactic to say otherwise. ---

> [@Kearsen1](#): > > I didn’t accuse them, I was answering Czarcasm, when he said “The only thing they are banking on is that his tweets upset “the enemy”, and you don’t have to trust me-the last four years of his actions and their reactions are evidence enough.” Right, and in no place did that poster say anything about worry, in no place did he say anything about being upset. He only said that this was an attempt to upset their enemy by lying about them. So, I will take that as a retraction of your accusation that the democrats have something to be worried about. > [@Kearsen1](#): > > I still don’t really understand the ultimate goal of saying there are documents coming out. It won’t HELP him. At it’s best the only thing he can hope for (if they actually come out as promised) is that it hurts the Dems. You are trying to understand why Trump would lie about something? > [@Kearsen1](#): > > I don’t have a clue what the full unredacted documents would show. And yet, you seem to think that Trump wouldn’t release them unless they would help him. > [@Kearsen1](#): > > Yes it would, but that follows that the FBI shouldn’t be used as a political pawn. So yay, you are on my side! Yes it does. Your point is only relevant if the FBI was used as a political pawn. Is this a contention that you are willing to make? If not, then what is the point of your questioning. It also follows that your landscaper shouldn’t be used as an assassin. Do you agree? ---

Who is their enemy? The Democrats duh! Or are you going to say that isn’t who Czarcasm meant by enemy? Are you being obtuse on purpose to score more brownie points with the in-group? Better watch out or I’ll report you for discrimination against the out-group. ---

Not rising to the bait since that was never the claim, right? It’s a hijack anyway. Needless to say, I don’t care whether they come out or not. Trump has lied and will continue to lie, to little effect on anyone other than the 30% Trump or diers. If it was in his head to worry or upset the Democrats , well I guess it worked a bit. Dumb but whatever. ---

No, I am specifically saying that you made an accusation that is unsubstantiated, that now you are trying to weasel your way out of. If you don’t want to admit that you made the accusation, that’s fine. It’s right there for everyone to see. > [@Kearsen1](#): > > Why would they need to be worried about him releasing this previously classified information? ---

Somehow, “He worried the apple cart” doesn’t mean, well, much of anything. The thesaurus is not a table of mathematical equivalencies. It’s a tool to use when you realize that the word you are using is not quite right in your context, so you search for a better one. Nuance and semantics are incredibly important in word selection. ---

While it is true that Trump has lied thousands of time and has generally disgraced the office of President, you are all missing the point. 😨 Never mind not releasing tax returns or lying about having a replacement health plan or lying about the Wall … **Trump has been sent by God to save America**. 😇 Some lefty atheist scum may suggest that Trump caught Covid because he wouldn’t wear a mask and attended events where others didn’t either. But now we have the truth from the President himself: “I think this was a blessing from God, that I caught it. This was a blessing in disguise.” ---

“The only thing they are banking on is that his tweets upset “the enemy”, and you don’t have to trust me-the last four years of his actions and their reactions are evidence enough.” Does upset in THIS context equate to worry? Or it is worrying an apple cart? ---

So when Czarcasm said " …and their reactions are evidence enough" it was just a lot of responses, no real concern?
