'Worse than a tariff': Jack Daniel's maker complains about backlash from Trump's policies

[Ms. Toad]

65. You jumped into a conversation in which that was the substance of the post to which I responded

You supported the post's assertion by suggesting that even though the entirety of his donations (required to be reported by law because he is an upper level employee in a company) suggest he supports more Democrats than Republicans he might have engaged in some subterfuge whereby the CEO was secretly donating to Republicans - or might have donated from another address.

The post I responded to made baseless speculation, and when I provided evidence that it was baseless, you felt some need to suggest ways the post to which I responded could still be true. I don't like baseless accusations - regardless of who they are made against. And once the allegations are established as likely false - based on the publicly available information on donations, the respectful thing to do is to drop them - unless you have something more than base speculation to the contrary.

I never claimed the evidence was conclusive - but generally, when baseless speculation is countered by evidence, to overcome that you need to provide some actual evidence - not just more baseless speculation.
