You can't have it both ways.

Originally posted by Jim B. View PostWhy is that so hard to imagine? With a charismatic enough leader, enough compliant followers, enough money and control of the levers of power, autocracies have stood for decades, even incompetently run autocracies. Look at the Soviet Union, the Shah's Iran, Marcos's Phillipines, Somoza's Nicaragua.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI'm supremely confident given the MSM's propensity to fabricate whatever they want if it is in the name of getting Trump that they will selectively edit and spin this to the point you'll wonder if you were watching the same thing they were.
They know that the vast majority of people aren't watching so they are free to twist this like they were turning a nail into a screw. I've seen them do it multiple times after debates.
But so far their TDS makes them an outlier. Over on MSNBC the hearing was described as being "boring" and a "disaster" for Democrats and that Mueller was "evasive" and that he "seemed lost at times."
The New York Post called the whole thing a "waste of time."
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) was obviously disappointed and pulled no punches when she was asked about Mueller's testimony:
Today, he was a witness. And he frankly wasn't a really good witness. Because he declined to answer, by my account, over 100 times.
And Politico is reporting that the Trump White House is exuberant stating that
West Wing aides were spiking the proverbial football even before the former special counsel had finished testifying.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostCNN is already spinning Mueller's appearance as a "bombshell both legally and politically." Jim Sciutto, the network's Chief National Security Correspondent declared that the testimony "sounded almost like an opening argument in an impeachment proceeding."

Originally posted by Sparko View PostBasically all he did was confirm things that were already in the report when asked, and refuse to answer on anything outside of what was in the report. Pretty much what he told them when they asked him about coming to testify and he said the report speaks for itself.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Jim B. View PostI just supplied the context, which illustrates (yet again) Trump's authoritarian tendencies.
Originally posted by Jim B. View PostYes. That's the problem. It was a Freudian slip, meaning it unintentionally reveals who he really is.
did you provide any context?
As for free speech are you aware that even the New York Times has admitted that Trump doesn't hold a candle to Obama when it comes to trying to suppress it?

Originally posted by Jim B. View PostI was and am thinking about Trump and I'm not laughing. What is there to laugh about? He's the one that's laughing, at the fact that he could "shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any voters!"

Originally posted by Jim B. View PostAny references on that? That's the "Fake NYT," right? So why should we believe them anyway? They're just using reverse psychology. Duh! Wake up, sheeple!
