Jeez, even by Gawker standards this article is poorly researched. Be a journalist Hannah, and actually read the background material. It’s extra work, but it really isn’t that hard. You can do it.

Actually, no. It was a special group in the Pentagon created by Dr. Strangelove V.P. Cheney to give him an “alternate” assessment that reported the conclusions that Cheney wanted from them. The other intelligence groups did not agree, but the Vice President gets what the Vice President wants. The are plenty of…

You forgot more tax breaks for the wealthy and keeping the negroes from voting.

If he were African American, he would be a “thug.” If he were Muslim, he would be a “terrorist.”

No, we do not have a nuclear missile defense shield, sorry. We’ve been trying to build one since Reagan and his Star Wars initiative, but it isn’t close to working yet.

“Personal responsibility” is so 1990s, when Democrats were in charge. When Bush was elected (and hosed up a big chunk of the Middle East), they switched to “Mistakes were made.”

Yep, he was the lesser of evils because Hilly sent three emails that were later marked classified. Nothing illegal, and nothing the Republican SecStates didn’t do before her. Trump has never done anything that bad. /s

It wasn’t a “brash” move, Mike. It was ignorant and undiplomatic in a volatile region with a nuclear “frenemy.” Yes, it will be “interesting” to see how it plays out, but unlikely to the benefit of us or our allies in the region.

Yes, too many people still don’t have insurance. With Obamacare, this figure has been going down, and that’s a good trend. Yes, the rate of increase has been going down, and here’s a chart to show you:

Health insurance costs were already skyrocketing, and 40 million people were underinsured or had no insurance at all. The average rate of increase in health care has actually been lower than it was before Obamacare. The states that tried to make Obamacare work have been very successful. The states that obstructed…

I get your point as well, and it’s valid in many cases. But context matters. When a bully punches a skinny nerd, that’s wrong. But when the nerd punches the bully back, then yes, that’s definitely ok. Trump has made it his signature to “punch down” at people who can’t defend themselves. He deserves to get treated as…

So many of the larger issues in the campaign were really not issues. Employment is higher than it’s been since the 1990s under Bill Clinton. New jobs were created at twice the rate under Obama than under G.W. Bush, and the stock market grew faster than it did under Republicans, even when you ignore the period of the…

I would call it something more like, “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”

Here’s a note to stimulate conversation: Trump has been a draft dodger, ridiculed John McCain for being captured, likewise for veterans with PTSD, and has little knowledge about national defense (e.g., the nuclear triad), and he probably hasn’t paid taxes in years (and thus paid little to support soldiers and…

How about Michelle Obama?

Oh, she’s perfectly sane. She has voluntarily been Trump’s guiding hand to help him get past his scandals, dishonesty, and incompetence. An insane person wouldn’t know any better. She does.

I read your link, and it’s people who voted, Dems 7,000 more than Repubs. We don’t know which way they voted, unless you conduct exit polls (which that article was not referring to). So, slightly more Dems have cast early votes in Florida, but we don’t know which candidate they voted for. Best guess is that more…

If you have an ice dispenser, it’s pretty bloody obvious because of the puddles of water of the floor. Ask me how I know...

How about a putrescence of pundits?

18 months? Hahahaha, if only that were true. Pence is already running for 2020.
