There’s this, too. The average voter is clueless, indoctrinated into one party or the other as a kid, whether it be on purpose or just by osmosis, and then that’s their allegiance for life. With the dawn of the internet, they cocoon themselves in an echo chamber, read and watch only what confirms their worldview and…

We aren’t anywhere near far enough into the popularisation of vaping to know whether it kills or not. People don’t start smoking and keel over dead the next day. It takes years. 

One thing to add, Fox News and others on the right have been going all-out in a shamelessly dishonest campaign to suggest the whistleblower broke the law or was otherwise the “real” guilty party here. The DNI’s office has publicly stated that nothing is further from the truth:

Amazing that you don't see the irony in your comment.

Tell that to my friend’s fiancee and his family....he is sitting in the hospital right this very second with a lung infection that won’t go away and is resisting all forms of antibiotic. He didn’t vape any blackmarket THC. He has been vaping, normally and legally for about 2 years.

The Republican President is apparently now saying he’s going to release the transcript of the call. I bet a dollar it’s badly marked up with Sharpie, with entire passages crossed out but still legible.

Remember, folks: in the face of overwhelming evidence that Trump did treasonous and impeachable crimes, there is always somebody complaining that a Democrat or the family member of a Democrat is corrupt.

Remember when people were shitting all over Pete Davidson for making fun of this dude on SNL? The hand-wringing was gross at best. 

“As Crenshaw notes, the interaction was clearly set up to be on video.”

You’re not an intelligent person and nobody values anything you have to say.

OK, this story is what I’ve wanted to talk about all morning, but I can’t stop laughing at THIS answer to Trump’s question of whether anybody would believe that he blurts out sensitive information. I’m dying. I’ll come back later with my corkboards-and-string to freak freely over the IC IG mess more coherently, but…

Based on a number of his past posts he is a longtime Republican party campaign operative, so anything he says is basically gonna be a bad faith argument.
To be fair, there have at least been occasions on which he has been rather open about this, as opposed to all the Tomatoes and such.

Fucker’s a troll, don’t bother.

HEY! He has a slightly clever user name. That has to account for, you know, a thing?

Seriously, every criticism of that agreement I’ve seen from the right is either grossly misinformed on what it was or is flat-out disingenuous, as if we could somehow have negotiated Iran’s wholesale surrender and regime change. It did what it was purported to do, which was freeze Iran’s weapons program to the degree…

Was it supposed to? Please point out the exact sentence in the JCPOA which made that a condition of the agreement. 

“That agreement was garbage.”
