Nra cares about selling guns. Nothing else.

Were you not paying attention in summer 2016? Everything since has been follow-up, most of this was very clearly spelled out prior to election day.

And? It is hardly surprising.

Depends on the view. I imagine that a minority of us are completely unphased and see this as more damning evidence on the pile.

Seriously. The idea that the Iraq war Intel was a fuck up by our intelligence community is complete crap. It was a deliberate decision by the White House to cherry pick the Intel that would let them invade. Pretending it was an accident just lets them off the hook.

Spoken like someone who knows NOTHING about the build up to Iraq 2.

And so is the author.

Yeah, this article is like real fucking bad. Boy do I hate the “also, other things are bad too!” response to a situation, and I can’t think of a worse time for this kind of take.

Right? I can see making fun of the Republican politicians who are making these statements that you KNOW they will do nothing to back up even though they are the only ones who have the actual power to do something, and of the journalists who breathless report about “REPUBLICANS TURNING AGAINST TRUMP OVER RUSSIA”…

It’s worth scrutinizing what people are really mad about when they tweet things like this. Are they most mad that Trump is siding against the American national intelligence community, which has a bloody legacy of influencing elections abroad when it suits its own interests and trampling its own citizens’ civil…

“Based on all the available evidence, Russia did “hack” our elections apparatus.”

Look, I’ve been horrified since Election Night 2016 about this slow-rolling horror show, but are you fucking kidding me? Seriously? Because I often like your writing, but this piece is just bonkers.

Fucking shit, dude. This is important. Stop with your “the only important things in the world are the two things I care about!” takes.

I’m officially convinced that folks at Splinter have a pool to see who come up with the most “cool” and “over it” all take that day.

This is a pretty crappy take. 

this is some hot Greenwald stan material right here

This is a bad take.

So what’s most deserving of scrutiny when an American president publicly sides with an ex-KGB agent over his own country’s intelligence apparatuses is the motivation of those outraged/disturbed by this? That’s one hell of a take, Katherine.

“Are they most mad that Trump is siding against the American national intelligence community, which has a bloody legacy of influencing elections abroad when it suits its own interests and trampling its own citizens’ civil liberties?”

What in the hell is this tripe? Maybe they’re mad about the fact that our President is a complete puppet for a brutal oligarch and is creating the preconditions for a dangerously unstable international order going forward?
