I don't understand how a man who fails to understand the basic role of a journalist could be a millionaire Wall Street executive and member of the White House circle. Not to mention he's the Communications Director, so his job involves talking to a lot of reporters.

That is a problem of conflating the ability to make money in the US financial market with intelligence.

I'm assuming a reporter told him Reince Priebus was the source of the leaks, possibly as a joke, and only told him that he was joking after Scara blew up twitter.

Nepotism and cronyism.

Saw some tweet earlier somewhere. He knows what he's doing and he's authorized to do it by the WH. No one is as reckless as this jackass without being given the go ahead from the higher ups. If the person in charge didn't want him being a total fucking lunatic they'd smash his dick in the dirt already. They let him off the leash on purpose to cause chaos.

This would normally be true, if the person in charge was capable of understanding much of anything.

Where have you not heard this? In this thread? In reality? I need specifics.

In this thread. Which looking back was not the clear context for his post.

What thread have you been posting in?

I haven't heard doubts in this thread that Russia meddled in the election. Looking back again at what Tachion wrote, he could have been referring to political figures not thread posters.

Are you for real right now? No one in this thread voiced doubts it was Russia? No one at all.

Meddling is a pretty low bar, friend. I'm in the camp that thinks Putin did his schtick to undermine Americans faith in their institutions. He wins no matter who won the election.

The ever shifting goal posts return.

You going to make a point here anytime soon?
What's your context?
::The thread
Haha you think people here didn't doubt Russia meddled in the election
*crickets*
Haha you're just going to shift goalposts!
*crickets*

My God, man.

I'm still dealing with you being unable to remember most of legal lord's output for the last 5 months or so. Not a single soul is strong language.

Feel free to nail it down for me when you get the chance. I thought he more or less thought it was justified, all things considered. I thought others quickly wised up when it wasn't just the couple anonymous leakers. When it was ripe for judgment, so to speak. But let's calm down about these preassertions of goalpost shifting and shock and awe, it's unbecoming.

People get to pontificate about the dogshit awful implications of our government's involvement with Russia before there's hard proof of something bad. That's allowed. You don't get to shut down discussion about what is in all likelihood happening behind closed doors just because you don't like that it's a possibility. I'm perfectly ready to admit that nothing happened, as soon as proof comes out that what happened was innocuous, but it's not happening. It only looks worse with each passing day.

And if you're wondering why the goalpost shifting thing is a thing, it's because in about a month you went from "you can't say anything because there's no proof" to "yeah it happened, but nobody said it didn't" to "okay, we said it didn't happen, but we felt justified in saying so". Pretty textbook.

He follows trumps example, so most likely, no.

Pretty textbook.

I never fully got the hysteria, but maybe you'll reciprocate in some manner. I still think you've totally missed the boat on myself and other conservatives' perspective on this. It's always been a long shot conclusion to the point where I still doubt Mueller will be able to find evidence of collusion. And I covered what I thought about how Trump Jr's meet figured in on this. So I think if you'd been more careful and didn't join the mob, you could have a better perspective yourself on the topic. Honestly I hope so. Like Rubio said in the Comey testimony, "the only thing that didn't leak is that Trump wasn't under investigation." The truth is startling. I'm consistent in waiting for the investigations to finish up and still judge from the evidence that it's incredibly unlikely the Trump campaign colluded. Trump doesn't come out smelling like a rose from any of this, he still made and continues to make bad staffing decisions and conducts himself unethically and inappropriately. He's just lucky to have a lunatic political and media opposition these days to defray some of the impact.

Pretty sure McCain and Graham are a "yes" on this skinny repeal and they were from the instant they decided to have that presser. Ryan's statement being "not sufficient" to them is irrelevant, they just wanted to cover their ass for passing something they believe is worse than nothing.

Even if "Moochi" did ask for it to be kept off the record -- which he didn't -- the reporter has no responsibility to do so, unless it was agreed to beforehand. Fucking basic logic.
