Rhetorical appeal!

Statement of disgust at public figure!

Breezy over-simplification of complex and moving factual situation that begs the question I'm attempting to demonstrate.

Dubious segue into additional over-simplification of different and possibly unrelated factual situation. Bolded, pithy aphorism.

Snarky appeal to authority:

Excerpted passage, probably out of context, from someone who normally disagrees with me


Another bolded, pithy aphorism.

Extended run-on sentence with little punctuation and no sense of flow that seems to go on and on forever like the mighty Amazon river full of such ravenous fish that they can skeletonize a cow within seconds but abrupt segue to an unrelated complaint as well as several parenthetical comments which like most parenthetical comments have a way of doing have a way of getting both the author and reader lost with little chance of ever fully understanding the actual syntax.

Rhetorical question?

BOLD, ITALIC, ALL CAPS INFLAMMATORY ANSWER!
