Washington Examiner vs Trump

[Leo123]

It seems to be a Trump thing, to resurrect peoples gradeschool brains by using taunting nicknames for political rivals. A sort of Freudian subconscious implantation.

No wonder Trump said he loves the poorly educated.

Think about it. When have sarcastic political nicknames been so widely en vogue?

Since the founding of America where one can make fun of the powerful ruling class and not lose their head.

My God, don't you know?

The definition eludes me.

And when Obama yelled at the White House press corps in what one described as a, "profanity laced tirade" nobody said Obama should not be allowed to run again now did they. This blatant double standard is why we Trump supporters don't give a shit about what other people say.

Don't forget a fabulous Hillary shrinking you f****** jew bastard at her lawyer.

It all fairness she was first lady then

Yes indeed there is freedom of speech, but there is also great responsibility when given such great power. What sort of a role model is someone who speaks at a grade school level?

It would be like in the Lincoln Douglas debates, one of them calling the other a "poopy head".

To be fair. That was during an "off the record" confrontation.

Cassidy's testimony has already been proven to be nothing but LIES.

So why even push moronic lies again?

My, how quickly you jumped to THAT conclusion, without so much as a SHRED of credible evidence. Where is the sworn testimony that ANYTHING she said was false.

All you have is a bunch of "unnamed sources", on billionaire owned "Questionable Source" websites, who say that the incident in the car never happened, but absolutely NO ONE has that Trump wasn't angry about Secret Service refusal to drive him to the Capitol. No one said he didn't plan or organize January 6th, or that he didn't know the mob was armed. And everyone has said that Pence deserved to be hung for letting him down.

Her testimony was so damning, you know they had all the fact checkers going through every line, and every word she said, to find something they could claim to hurt her credibility.

It's the typical attack the messenger, instead of the message.

Plus a lot of her testimony was "hearsay", things that others who chose NOT to appear before the committee, had told her of the events around January 6th. If they dispute what Cassidy claims they said, they should march down to congress and raise their right hand, before claiming they didn't say, what she said, that they said.

Name calling has been going on for centuries in America politics. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson ran dirty campaigns. Adams called Jefferson a fool, hypocrite, criminal and a tyrant. Jefferson called Adams a weakling, atheist, a libertine and a coward. Accusing the other side of sedition, terrorism, etc. is what Democrats today do. Trump just ridiculed other candidates and called them silly names. Pretty harmless stuff compared to what the Democrats do. Today the Democrat Party is actually trying to jail Americans for protesting. So, you can stop crying and wetting your panties over schoolyard name calling.

Jailed for protesting, or for armed insurrection against the government?

Your definition of protest, sounds like what the British did in 1812.

And yet you have a President who calls out and mocks private citizens who are just doing their jobs, and those people are attacked, vilified, threatened with death, their families are threatened with death.

The reason why this hearing was moved up was because of threats and intimidation this witness received when she fired her Trump lawyers, and went back to the Committee.

I guess it's both the level and universality of that name calling.

There is no real evidence of any of that. You believe hearsay and bullshit because of your unfounded hatred of Trump that you spew here everyday.

Yeah, silly nicknames no calling all their supporters 'deplorables' accusing them of insurgency, or convening a fake committee to make hearsay real evidence or going after a sitting POTUS with fake documents presented to a court. Put on your 'big boy' pants and stop crying about silly name calling.

That's why I mentioned the responsibility that comes from standing on a bully pulpit. It reminds me of when Bill O'Reilly called an abortion doctor "Dr. Tiller, the baby killer."

And then one of his radio/tv audience decided to take justice into his own hands and murdered the Doctor for doing his job.

Accusing them of insurgency?

What about convicting them of insurgency? It's in the news, at least two have admitted their guilt. So it's no longer in question that an insurgency occured.

Exactly! Except that very little of what she said was "hearsay". If she was in the room when an advisor told Trump the election was not stolen, that's direct evidence, not "hearsay". Much of her evidence pertained to things she saw or heard directly.

Hearsay is the story about what happened in the car. She wasn't there and is going by what she was told. And she was clear that she was not there. But people who were in the car were in the room and they didn't contradict what she was told.

This is the damning testimony that they can't dispute, so they attack the messenger on the rest of what she testified to

But they'll use such tidbits to attack her veracity on the rest of her testimony, throwing everything against the wall, hoping something sticks.

Yeah they 'admitted guilt.'
