in seriously bad take, California Democrat Congresswoman Jackie Speier compares Trump to Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Reality Winner, & Al Capone

[basquebromance]

This is a really, really bad take by a Bay Area Member of Congress who should frankly know better.

Trump & his ilk are criminals.

Edward Snowden, Reality Winner & Chelsea Manning are each whistleblowers—conscientious public servants who gave up their careers to expose corruption.

At a time when a news publisher is facing bipartisan prosecution for the “crime” of exposing government secrets, this false equivalence by Jackie Speier is an irresponsible canard.

It vilifies public servants, and also reveals a constitutionally suspect deference to the executive.

I expect better from members of Congress

It's sad she is speaking on something she obviously has no knowledge on.

It's too bad she isn't pointing out the hypocrisy.

 

[Calypso Jones]

isn't she retiring this year?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It drives them crazy when they can't use their lies. Democrats need to be wiped out.

isn't she retiring this year?

Yep, some women with brooms for transportation use the broom to smear a lot of paint on someone who doesn't deserve it. Those who ride on an electric broom should not ride it all the way across the land. They might fall somewhere along their liar's path of folly.

The people we have put in charge of us...are stupid. They are not intelligent or exceptional people. The women are vapid and wicked. The men are 'women with penises' or children. They are grifters whom most have never read the constitution, much less believe in it. In another age, they'd have been tarred and feathered and ran out of town on a rail. or better yet, hung from the nearest tree.

She's shot out!

I believe by Jim Jone's cultists in Guyana.
She suffered 5 hits and it's just now catching up to her.
Poor baby.

She's just fluffing the base. The trouble with a party who lied their heiney's off for four years to destroy Donald Trump is that in politics, liars don't care about other people one bit, they just keep on keeping on with the nonsense. Unfortunately their lies resulted in their destruction of fiscal America. They don't want anyone successful who doesn't just kiss their butt. The only way we can fight back is by continuing to tell the truth, which often takes years to prove. The liars know this, so they simply fortify yesterday's lie with another yet more egregious lie.

The Constitution requires people who run our country to have high morals and play fair. We will remain true and fair.

I used to know this drill sergeant, he called himself Everlastin Love.
