Please explain how that changes my observation?Strongman is used as a pejorative when referring to a political or military leader. Putin for example is often referred to as a being strongman.

It sounded to me like you misinterpreted the term strongman to mean someone who tends to be fair and generous. Terms like strong as in virtuous, and strong willed, and strongman are not synonymous. Therefore it doesn't make any sense to compare the term strong as in virtuous to the term strongman just because they both contain the word "strong". Otherwise one might as well throw strong odor into the mix.Please explain how that changes my observation?
So you think those Republican Senators just received an FBI file from some "precocious 15 year old" and then entered into record?I think there doesn't seem to be any evidence that the report is authentic in any way.
Huh. Well that is an interesting view, but that was not my point. My point is that being mediocre and being a strongman are not mutually exclusive. In point of fact I think they go hand in hand.It sounded to me like you misinterpreted the term strongman to mean someone who tends to be fair and generous.

I ALMOST always conquer...as if it's "covering" for something.Huh. Well that is an interesting view, but that was not my point. My point is that being mediocre and being a strongman are not mutually exclusive. In point of fact I think they go hand in hand.
Could you give an example of someone in history who's described as a mediocre strongman?Huh. Well that is an interesting view, but that was not my point. My point is that being mediocre and being a strongman are not mutually exclusive. In point of fact I think they go hand in hand.
No, but I can give multiple examples of people who I think are mediocre and also happened to be strongmen. Let's not confuse things by combining terms in unusual ways.Could you give an example of someone in history who's described as a mediocre strongman?

So the report comes from www.scribd.com rather than a .gov source and it was uploaded by NYT.
Really?And the NYP seems to credit it back to SCRIBD.
And says "The report was written in the style of an official FBI intelligence assessment". Is it supposed to be from the FBIAA? Does it exist on any actual FBI website? I'm calling it codswallop until it's proven otherwise.

What I said is no actual source is cited. When trying to find citation of the source all that's found is an NYP scribd loop. If I thought scribd was the source, then I wouldn't have said that it has no disenable source.Really?
Scribd isn't a source. It's a document hosting platform. It was uploaded to Scribd by the NY Post:

I don't trust the NY Post, so I'm not giving much credence to this "report". I'm only commenting on the description of scribd as a source. It's not.
You mean like, they didn't use APA style or what?What I said is no actual source is cited. When trying to find citation of the source all that's found is an NYP scribd loop. If I though scribd was the source, then I wouldn't have said that it has no disenable source.
I couldn't find conformation of "A National Alliance of Retired and Active Duty FBI Special Agents and Analysts" being an actual thing.You mean like, they didn't use APA style or what?
And how to do cite a primary source to itself?
I mean "the actual" cited source is right on the first page of the study:
A National Alliance of Retired and Active Duty FBI Special Agents and Analysts.
If you read through the report, it is CLEARLY written with a pro-Maga slant.
Where did you get that from?Why would those Senators and/or their committee accept this report if they questioned it's veracity...AT ALL.?
No, you didn't.What I said is no actual source is cited.
You didn't say that, either.then I wouldn't have said that it has no disenable source.

The report comes by way of scribd rather than a .gov source. That doesn't mean scribd is included as a source, it means the actual source can't be pinned down.No, you didn't.
You didn't say that, either.

But whatever.
