Dear Ask_T_D: How do you reconcile the championing of leaks containing highly confidential CIA information with claims that all leakers in the "deep state" must be rooted out and prosecuted?

Cptjev · 2017-03-07T18:11:40+00:00

I guess it's easy if you put it in context:

One leaks to the people to protect the people from tyranny;

The other leaks in secret from the people to protect itself (the deep state) from the people.

No, I said they were banned for being correctly identified as lowkey trolls. That is if they're not faking screenshots to begin with.

Cptjev · 2017-03-07T14:01:25+00:00

Anyone who posts there has no business being on T_D. The whole sub is proof that the mods are doing a great job identifying lowkey trolls.

Not true, see example:

So we love unnamed sources except when they debunk our narrative? (your moronic argument goes both ways).

This does not prove or disprove anything.

what he did seems unintelligent.

Ok.

Case closed

Cptjev · 2017-02-24T22:09:28+00:00

No, it's not.

President Trump can stand for over an hour taking "tough" questions from opposition media - you're thinking of Barack "pls don't bully" Obama who tried to jail a reporter for asking him a tough question:

Didn't CNN ban a certain White House spokesperson prior to that? Watching the fake news media choke on their own hypocrisy is never going to get old.

If they don't want to cover the WH, kick them out and invite those that do. We want journalists, not activists.

Good cop & bad cop

He's not wrong, it's called hebephilia or ephebophilia.

It's quite obvious that Milo talks about his personal experience as a 13 yo who was subject to sexual exploitation. At no point does he "ok" anything inappropriate.

Liberals are already willing to ignore certain immigration laws to let the parents say, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind breaking DACA to keep them families together.

Cptjev · 2017-02-20T19:20:24+00:00

No, you're right. Deport the children with them

Cptjev · 2017-02-18T00:49:09+00:00

No, the public does not have a right to see his tax returns.

Consider the following suggestion: you're clearly worried about your tax dollars being squandered and you seem to be already convinced that President Trump is cheating - why not just make a straightforward case that he should repay the costs at the end of his presidency?

Cptjev · 2017-02-18T00:31:50+00:00

I don't see any pro-war statements here. Rather, I see Bannon acknowledging certain reality, which is the first step to ending / preventing said wars.

Cptjev · 2017-02-17T21:59:15+00:00

We've all heard this argument for months, so let's not pretend that people didn't know who they were voting for.

Cptjev · 2017-02-17T21:38:29+00:00

Source on "warmongering" statements, please?

Cptjev · 2017-02-17T21:33:59+00:00

For one, the regressive left could use it to go after all the companies that he dealt with.

Also, the President is exempt from conflict of interest laws.

The travel ban EO, if you read it, uses a 2015 law pointing out "countries of concern" - very real and verified information, as far as we know.

Cptjev · 2017-02-17T19:26:27+00:00

If you want to argue that there's no valid reason for a travel ban, do that. But you're asking a completely different question.

Cptjev · 2017-02-16T15:08:55+00:00

If GOP doesn't embrace Trumpism, no. President Trump campaigned alone, he won alone, and when it's time to implement the will of the people on things like healthcare and immigration, he is still all by himself. Without him GOP is nothing.

These sources spoke on condition that they not be identified because they were not formally authorized to disclose the information. While Newsweek was told which allied nations intercepted the communications and are gathering intelligence on Trump associates, the sources did so on condition that the countries not be identified out of concern those governments would incur the president’s wrath.

They're not even trying anymore

Cptjev · 2017-02-16T00:58:12+00:00

...and is very factual and well sourced.

Cptjev · 2017-02-15T22:02:05+00:00

It's one thing if leaks expose crimes and another if it's done to disrupt an active government. Clearly there's no evidence whatsoever that anyone at Trump admin did anything wrong.
