Let’s not kid ourselves. If the mayor were still that hammy Boris Johnson, Trump would be calling him a courageous leader and extolling his virtues. This is based on the fact that the President is a brown Muslim.

I’m white and oviously will never use the word to describe anyone or use it casually (Bill Maher I am looking at you). But I find people liberally using the term “n-word” without realizing they are still using the word, when most of the times the term racial slur would do. When it is a case of journalism and reporting…

Dammit. The reason Snowden is in Russia is the US State Department’s fault. They canceled his passport while he was traveling. State knew where his plane was headed. They put him there. That was bad strategy on our part. That’s one of those pieces of fake news/narrative that chaps my hide, because I clearly remember…

“Only leaks coming from dudes who pass it to me should be accepted uncritically!”

That would be fine if they weren’t churning out articles about how the Russia story is baseless and clearly manufactured by the Deep State. I’d be okay with them saying “hey guys are you sure this isn’t a conspiracy theory?” if they weren’t advancing their own conspiracy theory to instill that doubt.

Except fuck the fucking Intercept. They’ve been shitty since they started, but they’ve also clearly either 1) learned nothing from burning their first whistleblower, or 2) been turned into a honey trap to specifically burn whistleblowers. I lean towards the second. It looks like they published this specifically so she…

I saw someone make a knock-knock joke about Reality Winner on Twitter after waking up and checking my feed, but I didn’t get the joke at the time because I had not yet seen the articles involving Winner. A few minutes after being puzzled by the joke, I read a few tweets that had links to The Intercept article & the…

Glenn Greenwald is out on Twitter undermining the veracity of his own publication. 🤔

There’s a possibility she was found out because the reporters didn’t do a good enough job with securing their end.

Yes, I’ve been wary of articles from the Intercept lately, though I think it’s generally okay when not authored by Glenn Greenwald.

The GCC blockade of Qatar is pretty fucking huge and I’m not convinced at all Trump didn’t at least give his blessings. They’ve demanded the country to shutter Al-Jazeera, expel Hamas/MB members, cease criticism of Egypt and cut ties to Iran.

I don’t know why I felt the needs to go look at the comments, but... I don’t understand why people who call themselves patriots are calling her a traitor... she revealed a foreign government tampering in U.S. elections.

“Looking forward to the D-Day invasion of Normandy tomorrow! #MAGA”

Her name is Reality Winner. There’s a possibility she was found out because the reporters didn’t do a good enough job with securing their end.

I eagerly await the day Sean Spicer answers every reporter’s question with “I dunno. Ask him.”

I feel sorry for the leaker - she’s been arrested. Patriot.

Finding it interesting that it came from the Intercept, whose writers have historically downplayed or outright dismissed the Russian election interference angle. *chin stroke emoji*

And the US embassy in London has also gone renegade:

I don’t understand how there’s not a mass of resignations following this bullshit. These attorneys essentially have no choice but to defend this bullshit, and for something that’s so indefensible they’ve actually done a really good job. They’ve gotten several federal judges, presumably all fairly smart, to agree to…
