Cause I'm saying it's simpler than that. It's just advertising for the business to his clientele. That clientele would include right wing "back the blue" types that would love to own a truck that some unspecified swat type team trusts. But if they ever actually use these vehicles for that purpose, it'll backfire.
No, you were telling me, a person that didn't imply that it was muskrat, that it wasn't muskrat. Then you make an unsubstantiated claim of who it was. The linked article doesn't say he donated them. You didn't provide any evidence for your claim beyond an implied, "Trust me bro." So my perfectly reasonable conclusion is that you misread the article in the same way you misread my original comment.
Read the article again. It says they were donated by UP.FIT.
Where? All I see is,
That doesn't mean that they're the source of the money that paid for the trucks.
And you still have not addressed the fact that 👏I 👏did 👏not 👏say 👏it 👏was 👏muskrat.
ETA: The company is only mentioned three times in the article. The quote above, plus
and
So, no, it absolutely does NOT say
You need to calm down. At no time did I attack you or anything, but clearly you're really worked up about it. It's really not worth arguing with someone so emotional. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
I'm perfectly calm. I'm not the one caught spreading misinformation.
You however seem to have serious reading comprehension skills and an inability to admit when you're wrong. I've given you multiple opportunities to simply say something like,
with regard to you bringing muskrat into the conversation. You took none of them, presumably because admitting you made a mistake is outside your skill set.
Then I gave you the opportunity to show me exactly where in the article it backs up your claim of who the source of the donation was. I was, and still am, perfectly willing to accept that I overlooked that part. You can still point it out and I'll happily accept it.
But instead of simply copyingdand pasting the sentence from the article that backs up your claim, and being done with it, or simply acting like an adult and admitting you misunderstood the article, and being done with it, you sidestep the whole thing and childishly tell me to calm down.
I don't care who donated the money. That was never my point.
What I do care about is people spreading misinformation, and right now, that's you.
