In Praise of Russia

Wanting the best for the country would be ensuring anyone other than Asshole is sworn in. Glad you finally admitted to supporting a fascist though, Kiddo!

 

[BroadwayConcierge]

I've said it before and I'll say it again—your intolerance for the beliefs held by anybody with whom you disagree is precisely why Hillary and the Democrats lost big this year. Keep it up.

[adamgreer]

No, I will not "tolerate" the beliefs of those who are intolerant. I will not "tolerate" those who want to ban Muslims from the country, I will not "tolerate" those who want to build walls, I will not "tolerate" those who brush off comments like "grab 'me by the ****" as locker room talk, I will not "tolerate" those who make fun of the disabled, I will not "tolerate" those who refuse to rule out the use of nuclear weapons, I will not "tolerate" those who claim to know more about mid-East politics than the generals, I will not "tolerate" those who an incoming "president" who believes daily intelligence briefings are redundant, I will not tolerate a "president" whose vice-president believes in conversion therapy, I will not "tolerate" a man who flies off the handle because of a tweet, I will not "tolerate" a man who wants there to be "consequences" for those that disagree with him, I will not "tolerate" a man who refuses to acknowledge that the Russians hacked the American election, and I will not tolerate a man in the Oval Office who sees immigrants as a greater threat than Vladimir Putin. 

 

Once again, when confronted with all of those facts (and I could keep going), I ask you to please explain your support for this asshole and justify each of these actions. This is who you supported. This is who you voted for. Now explain why.

I agree with this 100%.  Thank you for posting.

Captain Greer you rock.  Although I'm somehow concerned that you're another incarnation of 60's TV stars that are under suspicion.

You're absolutely right!  We should have displayed far MORE intolerance to more closely model the long-standing GOP platform and the behavior of the Precedent Erect.  We just didn't go far enough.  Clearly, the right feel they own intolerance.  Well, they actually don't and they shouldn't feign to clutch the pearls when faced with it.  This isn't intolerance.  You need to study your party's historical playbook a little more closely.  Or better yet, go ask your fellow supporters like the White Supremacists and the KKK.  Then get back to us on what you call "intolerance".

[BroadwayConcierge]

Right. You still lost.

[Mister Matt]

What is it you like to say?  "Keep it up".  Show us that model of right-wing tolerance.  I just didn't enough of it the past 8 years.  I don't think I got any of it, come to think of it.  Keep it up.

[adamgreer]

Once again he doesn't answer a single one of my questions. Typical right-winger. 

[PalJoey]

 

So, Petra? Did your boy Vladimir STAGE the ambassador's assassination?

You continue to think I owe you an answer. I owe you zip.

 

And, once again, PJ's back at it with the Petra obsession. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

No, it's because you have no explanation and refuse to admit that you're a racist,  xenophobic, homophobic, bigoted child.

I agree with you, Adamgreer.  None of the protests or plans of action are because we lost. We aren't just dealing with another Bush or someone like Kasich getting into office.  We have hate groups and dangerous dictators supporting our incoming president.  He whines so much about the media. But hey, if sitting back and doing nothing while things go down the toilet floats your boat,  go right ahead. Just don't get mad if Trump does things you are against because you should just "get over it."

And it's hilarious how others choose to explain things because it is the intelligent thing to do. Now I know I don't have to debate nicely to BroadwayConcierge.

The Police! Every Breath You Take! Love that song. I had such a crush on Sting when I was in high school. As a matter of fact I still do. xoxo

Don't bother sucking up to me, CarlosTrumperto. I'm over you.

YouTube 'Every Bomb You Make'. A British tv satire programme with puppets. Comedy genius that launched the career of several British comedians.

 

Anyway, two days before the programme went out some in Spitting Image production asked do we need Stings permission. Sting is tracked down to LA and not only gives permission but says I'll record it for you if you send the lyrics. One of the all time great tv moments this. Sting later wished he had written this version.

Girl. get over yourself I wouldn't suck you or suck up to you. I was commenting on your Police lyrics but wasn't responding directly to you.

So again:  GET OVER YOURSELF.

Natalie Wood called again, this time with Gene Kelly on the line. They were both staunch lifelong Democrats and they would like you to take their picture down.

Devastating expose on the fake Russian Hack story Obama (and obsessed Paljoey) is pushing by a conservative rag. Oh wait, its from Rolling Stone!

Nearly a decade and a half after the Iraq-WMD faceplant, the American press is again asked to co-sign a dubious intelligence assessment

The problem with this story is that, like the Iraq-WMD mess, it takes place in the middle of a highly politicized environment during which the motives of all the relevant actors are suspect. Nothing quite adds up.

If the American security agencies had smoking-gun evidence that the Russians had an organized campaign to derail the U.S. presidential election and deliver the White House to Trump, then expelling a few dozen diplomats after the election seems like an oddly weak and ill-timed response. Voices in both parties are saying this now.

What does Bourdain say?

[Petralicious]

Instead of a dopey post, why dont you read the expose. Its from famously liberal source and see if there is something that might open your eyes like this from it:

Adding to the problem is that in the last months of the campaign, and also in the time since the election,  we've  seen an epidemic of factually loose, clearly politically motivated reporting about Russia. Democrat-leaning pundits have been unnervingly quick to use phrases like "Russia hacked the election. 

We ought to have learned from the Judith Miller episode. Not only do governments lie, they won't hesitate to burn news agencies. In a desperate moment, they'll use any sucker they can find to get a point across.

[South Florida]

Do you really think that we know the whole story yet?  Is all the evidence available to the public?  Do you think there may be a few things the intelligence community cannot make public?  Or did Obama make this whole thing up?
