You're right, but the trash fire is all around us, and we like it when our team "scores" some "wins" by insulting the other side.
It's hypocritical, and the right is supposed to be the party with strong principles and timeless wisdom.
Tlaib is wrong and acting like a fool, what of the next time Trump or a Republican is acting like a fool? We let it slide further and further downhill, to the point of almost electing a man like,
Roy Moore, Thephile in cheif, why? "Tough," and "fights," and "tells it like it is."
Tough? That's the "barstool Nihilism" of pretending human problems can be banished by a triumph of will, "fights" is the same zero sum game, and "tells it like it is" is tells it like my ego needs to hear it, and also deeply rude.
Enough of Tlaib, and enough of the Judge Moores.
I agree that people should be criticized when they do things wrong. I think many on the right are a little bitter that Trump gets treated unfairly most of the time just because he hurts people's feeling with things he says. Impeachment is a legal action taken by Congress that should generally involve a crime. The left is absolutely taking things to another level.
Citation needed. Who are these “some politicians?”
Isnt she a moose limb?
Imagine the poor fucker having hump that every few months.
Almost?
1. I was on the same page with you as far as the portrait, but here is Obama's reasonable explanation regarding his view on the Black Lives Matter movement:
“I know that there’s some who have criticized even the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ as if the notion is as if other lives don’t matter. We get ‘All Lives Matter’ or ‘Blue Lives Matter.’ I understand the point they’re trying to make. I think it’s also important for us to understand that the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ simply refers to the notion that there’s a specific vulnerability for African-Americans that needs to be addressed. It’s not meant to suggest that other lives don’t matter. It’s to suggest that other folks aren’t experiencing this particular vulnerability and so we shouldn’t get too caught up somehow in this notion that people who are asking for fair treatment are somehow automatically anti-police or trying to only look out for black lives as opposed to others. I think we have to be careful about playing that game because, obviously, that’s not what is intended.”
2. Uranium One? Let's start with PBS Newshour from October 2017 to establish the basic facts that Trump and his thugs in the right wing media are full of shit, and then you can present your facts and tie it all together for us.
3. And setting up a spy operation on Trump? Wow, I thought @bobgeese was the only one on here desperately clinging to that bullshit. Please present the evidence on that one too...

You can’t make this shit up folks.
This isn’t the first time Halper has been a spy in a political campaign.
....
Four decades ago, Halper was responsible for a long-forgotten spying scandal involving the 1980 election, in which the Reagan campaign – using CIA operatives managed by Halper, reportedly under the direction of former CIA Director and then-Vice-Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush – got caught running a spying operation from inside the Carter administration that involved passing classified information about Carter’s foreign policy to Reagan campaign officials in order to ensure the Reagan campaigned knew of any foreign policy decisions that Carter was considering.
: Stefan Halper. And Halper’s history is quite troubling, particularly his central role in the scandal in the 1980 election. Equally troubling are the DOJ and FBI’s highly inflammatory and, at best, misleading claims that they made to try to prevent Halper’s identity from being reported.
To begin with, it’s obviously notable that the person the FBI used to monitor the Trump campaign is the same person who worked as a CIA operative running that 1980 Presidential election spying campaign, one that involved passing classified information about the Carter administration’s most sensitive secrets to the Reagan campaign.
It was not until several years after Reagan’s victory over Carter did this scandal emerge. It leaked by right-wing officials inside the Reagan administration who wanted to undermine officials they regarded as too moderate, including then White House Chief of Staff James Baker, who was a Bush loyalist.
The NYT in 1983 said the Reagan campaign spying operation “involved a number of retired Central Intelligence Agency officials and was highly secretive.” The article, by then NYT reporter Leslie Gelb, added that its “sources identified Stefan A. Halper, a campaign aide involved in providing 24-hour news updates and policy ideas to the traveling Reagan party, as the person in charge.” Halper, 73, had also worked with Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and Alexander Haig as part of the Nixon administration.
When the scandal first broke in 1983, the UPI suggested that Halper’s handler for this operation was Reagan’s Vice Presidential candidate, George H.W. Bush, who had been the CIA Director and worked there with Halper’s father-in-law, former CIA Deputy Director Ray Cline, who worked on Bush’s 1980 presidential campaign before Bush ultimately became Reagan’s Vice President. It quoted a former Reagan campaign official as blaming the leak on “conservatives are trying to manipulate the Jimmy Carter papers controversy to force the ouster of White House Chief of Staff James Baker.”
Halper, through his CIA work, has extensive ties to the Bush family. Few remember that the CIA’s perceived meddling in the 1980 – its open support for its former Director, George H.W. Bush to become President – was a somewhat serious political controversy. And Halper was in that middle of that, too.
So as it turns out, the informant used by the FBI in 2016 to gather information on the Trump campaign was not some previously unknown, top-secret asset whose exposure as an operative could jeopardize lives. Quite the contrary: his decades of work for the CIA – including his role in a obviously unethical spying operation during the 1980 presidential campaign – is quite publicly known.
Account created Dec 14th, pushes cliche deceptive rightwing meme. What a surprise.So true...don’t forget they were knee-deep in racism and sexism that The Left created, though.
