But, it was a very confusing post.

Now, maybe it's just a misunderstanding of the English language, but that title is a simple declarative sentence.

I call them as I see them.

I'm calling out an incorrect statement in a post title. The OP has not returned to his thread, so I posted a separate post.

the recourse. All valid points with this administration.

Which, at best, shows that OP is confusing AF.,

I do not attempt to do mind-reading here. It was a statement, not a supposition.

...of the headline is a clumsy (given the context) use of the "subjunctive mood"

as though what he said was true. Now, I'm sure it was just a mistake, but it was a major mistake.

Language can do a great deal if used correctly. If used incorrectly, it can do a great deal of damage.

Epstein files are released
Trump is all over them and clearly involved. So what is the recourse?

To me it was obviously a what happens if

I knew the files had not been released. A quick question on google could answer that.

That's how I read it

It did not say that, nor did it indicate that a conditional clause was there.

I'm sorry, but some people on DU take posts literally. So, I'm calling that post out. I posted a reply in the thread, but there has been no response by the OP to any of the comments in the thread.

It probably needed the caveat. We see a lot of that here, though - headline grabbing - so I'm used to it

The post was at best confusing.
