Things They Say

"And un-American, un-American, somebody said 'Treasonous'. Yeah, I guess. Why not? Why not? Can we call that treason? Why not? I mean they certainly didn't seem to love our country very much."

Can we call that Hitler-esque? Why not?

I don't know, but I think using orange font to denote a Trump quote needs to become a thing. That made my day.
 
"Donald Trump has continually shown himself to have authoritarian tendencies, and this is just another worrisome example.

For someone who just declared it was ‘treasonous’ to not applaud him, and for someone who has, in the past, admired tactics of everyone from Saddam Hussein to Vladimir Putin, it is clear that a military parade isn’t about saluting the military – it’s about making a display of the military saluting him.

The military is not Donald Trump’s to use and abuse in this way. Our military is the very best in the world – they are not the be reduced to stagecraft to prop up Donald Trump’s image.

Any commander in chief who respects the traditions of the military would understand that. Unfortunately, we do not have a commander in chief, right now, as much as we have a wannabe banana republic strongman.”

Counterintelligence investigation vs criminal investigation.
 
I shouldn't have challenged the holy sacrament.

Its not worth it. If the information in the memo and subsequent Dossier information hasn't given that 'aha' moment to the left then nothing will.

I've given up on trying to debate it.

It is so fun to poke though.
 
So was Kelly too lazy to get up to speed on what was holding up his right-hand man Rob Porter's security clearance?
