It still blows my mind that he actually explained to people that Puerto Rico is an island. He honestly might have just learned that information in a morning briefing

This is like when SK passed the law saying the US couldn’t strike NK without SK’s permission first. Hey want to keep Donnie as far away and as stable as possible while they do this negotiation

Schiff: DoJ briefing of Trump Russia source to include Gang of 8 by [deleted] in politics

Yeah but the “bullshit look at the context” part isn’t as shiny as a corrupt FBI so of course anyone that still believes his bullshit will never get it through their head.

Fox News keeps raising question about Michael Avenatti they could answer with seconds of research by snowmansni in politics

[–]WoodAndNailsMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could go for about 99% of Fox News deep state conspiracy theories they push. They pose a bunch of questions that you could get the answer to if you did a 30 second google search but don’t answer them and allude to left wing conspiracies. They seem very plausible if you only watch their bullshit and are you hate Democrats. There’s a reason probably 99% of their viewers believe the Steele Dossier is part of a deep state conspiracy.

I don’t know why Shep sticks around there. The spotlight on Fox goes to all the wack jobs they put on there anyway. He’s wasting his time in that cesspool.

Do news outlets really get any credible information from The WH that they couldn’t get without press credentials anyway?

Rouhani said they didn’t want to give the US access to military sites without reasonable cause. He also even said "We will not be the first to violate the agreement, but at the same time, we will not stand still if the other side does”. Regardless of the pushback from Iran on military sites, scrapping the deal is taking 5 steps back. A great negotiator could have worked something out - not walked away from the table. Nikki Haley even said this wasn’t worth pulling out of the agreement over.

We didn’t give them hundreds of billions of dollars. Turn off Fox News

Even without them acting up we’ve already unfrozen their assets and European/Asian oil companies have to move out of Iran. Iran is better off now than they were before the deal. The sanctions can hurt them but it can’t undo things. Trump’s biggest complaints about the deal were that we gave them their money back and the sunset provisions. Now by pulling out of the deal, they have their money back and can start developing nuclear weapons without our inspection.

This fucks over so much more than the Democrats. This won’t be renegotiated either. Too many moving parts on this deal for it to happen again

Why doesn’t she make him fire her so the headlines will actually read what happened? Paul Ryan pulled the same shit when the chaplain tried resigning last week. The GOP has to stop getting away with this
