âSimilar to my own ethics.â
If these meetings were âbig fat nothingsâ or ânothing burgersâ as the GOP is prone to saying, why so much lying and hiding?
Just curious: Does Wicker think the meeting between Bill C. and Loretta Lynch was also a âbit fat nothingâ?
In other words, we now need to check what info Wicker also got from the Russian intelligence/Wikileaks pipeline.
Oy, the editing on this site.
Mississippiâs state 2 letter abbreviation is MS, not MI.
As I recall, Watergate was also a big fat nothing burger. Until it wasnât.
However, Wicker hedged, âif somebody on behalf of a campaign
was told there was some information that might be of interest to
the public, I just donât think the American people are going to
be up in arms that that meeting took place.â
Well âŚ
Thatâs what some get for thinking â
Wicker is from Mississippi, not Michigan.
Mississippi serves a useful purpose in the South. No matter how bad things are in any other state, the citizens can always say âat least weâre not Mississippi!â
âI cannot support an Attorney General nominee who is willing to engage in, or permit, discretionary enforcement of the law,â Wicker said. âI believe the White Houseâs politicization of the Justice Department under Eric Holder has eroded the integrity of the agency. Voting in favor of this nomination would be tantamount to an endorsement of the Administrationâs strategy to pick and choose which laws to enforce based on political calculations.â His reasons for voting against AG Loretta Lynch.
Iâm getting to the point where Iâm scared to know how much of the GOP is just an utterly amoral pack of gangsters and how much is, itself, in the pocket of foreign powers.
âI as a public official or candidate would not do that,â he said. However, Wicker hedged, âif somebody on behalf of a campaign was told there was some information that might be of interest to the public, I just donât think the American people are going to be up in arms that that meeting took place.â
Wicker might want to do a little basic research into the law of agency before he tries to hide behind that veil.
If I hear a Senator say âI agree with Donald Trump Jrâ, Iâm checking my supply of torches and pitchforks.
I would like for some fast food restaurant to offer a special menu item called the ânothingburgerâ which consists of four patties of juicy ground beef, eight slices of sizzling bacon, three slices of cheese (American, cheddar, and jack) plus lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes. Served with Russian dressing, of course.
Maybe it comes with Freedom Fries on the side as an added reminder of Republicansâ commitment to our allies.
Itâs practically Kentuckyâs second motto.
âI agree with Donald Trump Jr.,â
More egregious journalism fail here. The question should have immediately been asked âwhich of his stories are you talking about agreeing with?â
Also too: know what else is a big fat nothing? Finding out a white male GOPer from Mississippi unquestioningly carries the white nationalist alt-rightâs water.
A republican meeting with an adversary about our election is, âa big nothingâ, unless itâs a democrat meeting with adversary about our election!
Foreign power assaulting our elections. Thatâs the context. Canât make convincing analogies when the context is that serious, and the overall story is working WITH that foreign power to assault our elections. Thatâs not a nothing-burger, guys.
All Republicans pretending it is are staining their record permanently.
Excellent thread by PK connecting Russia Scandal with Trumpcare Scandal.
Etc.
And this.
One of which enablers is the good(?) Senator from MS.
So this fuckhead is going with the âwell he looked into hiring this person to kill his wife, but thought the guy wasnât going to be able to deliver, so it was a great big nothing.â defense.
Got it.
