And the difference is?
If thereâs one thing we will NEVER hear from this White House or any administration official itâs an apology.
Bannon 101: Attack, attack, attack!
So we now have two adults with well established experience regarding the respect accorded the enormous personal sacrifice some make on behalf of the Republic. But one of these adults is willing to lie about the other in defense of the Orange Pustule Hitler. SadâŚ
Iâm going to have to defend Wilsonâs hat thing. First, she is not wearing a ladiesâ church hat. Her hats all seem to be a variation of a cowboy hat, with trimmings. Iâm guessing there is a story and maybe even a cause associated with those hats.
But as for wearing noticeable hats, I get it. In many parts of the south, black women are in many way invisible. Even some of the jobs they have require being in the background (maids, cooks, service positions).
Also being invisible is safe and there are many unsafe places for black women in the south (like riding in a limo with a friend).
So, to me Wilson does not have an unfortunate affinity for big church hats at all. She has decided not to be invisible and that takes courage. So, my hatâs off to her and more power to her.
A liar knows what the truth is, a bullshitter doesnât care one way or another, they just spurt stuff out without bothering to think or confirm.
Wow, and Kelly canât really avoid replying to that comment, can he ?
I heard somewhere -sorry no link, attribution- that her hat habit has something to do with honoring her grand ma.
I think the examples of Michael Flynn and John Kelly are proof that just becasue you got stars doesnât mean you earned them. As an Army veteran and the son and son-in-law of two career military guys, I can tell you there are a lot of assholes in uniform. There are also lots of good guys, but they would never work for lardass.
receipts. WH never ever has them
Trump always takes the low road:
Kelly, being a dutiful boot licker, follows his commanders example and lies about the Congresswoman and called her âan empty barrelâ
We have an administration that knows something about barrels⌠the bottom of barrels to be precise.
In my humble opinion itâs time to kick these people out of the West Wing and bleach the place thoroughly. Kick them out by whatever legal means are available. For the good of the country. We need, desperately, to get back to civil behavior. To where we have a majority party and a loyal opposition that are willing to talk to each other like adults and work through differences to arrive at consensus. But the first step in healing MUST be removal of the cause of divisiveness. donald j trump and his minions. They are a CANCER in the fabric of our country. That cancer needs to be cut out, When that is accomplished we can get about the rest of the healing. As cancer survivor I know somewhat of where I speak.
sniffit, did you watch Lawrence last night? OMG, his takeaway on this left me breathless.
Agreed â sure she could have kept it shorter and just thanked the Speaker, ranking members and the President for fast-tracking the bill rather than going step-by-step through the process⌠but then again Kelly could have skipped the part about packing bodies in ice (twice) as well.
Its how someone who is a proving to be raving racist would see and hear her and misremember and mischaracterize what she said. He also smeared Obama in this implying that he gave a fellow African American 20 million as patronage. This man worked for Obama â and I can only imagine that he spent his years under him resenting it. He showed yesterday he is not a moderating force in the white house â he is an enabler who is there because he shares trumpâs world view. These old racist sexist white men want their country back.
So with that definition is Trump a liar, a bullshitter, or just a complete fucking lunatic?
Guess who else knew what he was getting himself into. GUESS.
Christopher Stevens.
GO FUCK YOURSELVES, METHBILLY NATION.
succinct short story
General John Kelly is a morally corrupt manipulative LIAR
and like Trump he will remain stiff-legged & refuse to apologize for his obvious documented LIE
He has NO remorse for his dishonesty - only anger at those who present facts demonstrating the truth.
The man was picked by tRump because there is something they both share that he was more than willing to accept in being part of this administration. Both are cruel bullies, imo, both attack vulnerable people, both have no compassion for Muslims and Hispanics, and both have no problem with tortureâŚlike when Kelly was in charge at GITMO.
When youâre one of them, the last person you apologize to is a woman, particularly a black one.
So, G.I. Joke lied? Shocked ⌠stunned, really.
For all the people who act like we should go on attack and blast Kelly as a liar: How well did that work when we did that with Bush and Cheney? Did America rise up against the Iraq War because we said they were liars, or did they think we were the jerks until years later when it became obvious what a mess Iraq was?
And how well did that work when Republicans did that against Obama and Clinton? Did America rise up against them because Republicans used the L word? Or did it only make them more popular the more they were attacked? As a reminder, Clintonâs highest approval ratings were during his impeachment.
Believe it or not, angry attacks only make your side feel better while turning off everyone else. Most folks donât pay attention to politics partly because they hate the attacks; and they donât care whether or not theyâre true. Mockery and decency work far better than insults. Iâm sure Trump wouldnât like anything more than for us to blast Kelly as a liar, since it takes the heat off of him and makes us look angry.
