well i guess if he said it then we have to credulously report that as if there’s any evidence for this being likely and this administration doesn’t lie to suit their political adjectives virtually every time they speak
another reason is that what goes around comes around and when americans are captured or targeted you want everyone to abide by these rules of engagement. trampling all over them puts everyone at much greater risk. what an incredibly stupid asshole this guy is
undoubtedly? does Fitz know that?
amazing that all these voted for him when he said he was going to do exactly this. people are so dumb.
I mean let’s be real, if there’s anyone with skeletons in their closet that could be blackmailed to do whatever the administration wants it’s this creepy ass weirdo
if youre not wearing uniqlo heattech i dont know what youre doing out there
you really stepped in it this time
i’m pretty sure i know which side is which here
what the fuck kind of question is that to ask?
The left always rushs to criticize Kristol and other LP reps or dems for listening to them, but they understand what we are dealing with and how to counter so much better than current dem leadership. listen to them here
the problem is that these people exist in a media and online ecosystem that hides this reality and treats them like they’re on a team with “good guys” no matter what happens. they never had to confront our actual reality even when it smacks the in the face
finally asking the questions that virtually everyone was asking right from the start
if they don’t comply and there are no consequences then was it really a deadline? is it really illegal? words have no meaning
what 5 year old and younger kids don’t love watching Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin? Lol what a loser. no disrespect to them but i was watching Elf and A Muppet Christmas Carol with my toddlers because I love them and want them to have a fulfilling childhood
will any reporter ask why any corporate merger approval should be influenced by who is a better friend of his?
she seems to assess this as run of the mill tabloid fodder that’s notable just because it’s juicy, without any sort of acknowledgement that the man she protected and helped is at this very moment making decisions that are
going to *kill children* and undo years of cancer research. she’s awful
i have to say i enjoy how she pairs the imagery of “swallowing things just to understand them better” with parasitic worm in his brain. like yeah that’s that’s definitely a worm just using your own logic
uhh we know exactly why lol
he was found guilty by a jury of his peers, he’s not owed a god damned thing by the american taxpayer and fuck this fake christian sleazeball for shrugging it off like this
it’s been 10 fucking years of this and not one reporter has taken it upon themselves to ask a pointed question that exposes his complete idiocy in thinking that seeking asylum = insane asylum.
lol meanwhile on another network at this exact same time the speaker is saying that chuck is giving them the keys to the kingdom to do things they’ve always wanted to do. is he senile? not sure i’ve ever seen a politician so disconnected from what is actually going on
“the president directed DOJ to prosecute comey, do you believe he directed the DOJ to prosecute comey?”
“hard to say”
“very good, moving along to our next question”
if there’s any upside to this crazy press conference and policy change it’s that the republican population will be smaller in the decades to come
i’ll field this one. those posts were made in bad faith because he opposed a democratic administration. they were never strongly held beliefs and he has no issue wielding authoritarian power when it suits him. throwing them back in his face does’t matter - he didn’t cared then and doesn’t now.
his inability to recognize that right now we very much *are* that country is an existential problem
doesn’t help when corporations willingly comply in advance without even testing the limits of the constitution
these people aren’t actually offended. sure there might be some actual pearl clutchers but it’s really just a bunch of assholes trying to punish their enemies. they know CK was spouting hate, but this is an opportunity for them to inflict pain. shame on the companies caving to them
“should,” yes, but these people view the left as their enemies. not political opponents but still fellow americans, they view the left as their existential enemies and there should not be any expectation that they will ever behave otherwise
no. this isn’t a distraction - this is part of the plan. they are turning up the heat on cities until the tension boils over and turns to violence, then he’ll get the martial law/emergency powers be so desperately wants. the entire GOP is in on it, clearly.
