> [@Happy\_Fun\_Ball](#): > > Sam\_Stone isn’t truly a conservative anymore; at least it appears to me that he has abandoned most of his principles to own the libs. Sam is a Trump supporter through and through. All it took to buy Sam’s loyalty was 200 appeals court judges that probably won’t uphold conservative principles anyway when put to the test. Sam is Canadian. I rather doubt he gives a much of a shit about 200 American appeals court judges. And I don’t recall seeing him type a kind word about Trump. I don’t particularly care about whataboutism in this case either. Even if Clinton was worse in this regard (which I’m not sold on, though fuck him for being corrupt as well), outrage for this kind of naked abuse is still merited. But if you’re going to criticize the poster, better to criticize them for the right thing. ---

> [@Tamerlane](#): > > Sam is Canadian. I rather doubt he gives a much of a shit about 200 American appeals court judges. ? Are you kidding? For decades on these boards, Sam has clearly demonstrated that he gives all the shits about supporting the American conservative establishment. He argues for their economic policies, he cheerleads for their wars, he faithfully repeats their talking points. When it comes to cross-border political partisanship, Sam Stone is an out-and-out CINO. ---
