Culpability, then?

Anyway, I think maybe some left-leaning sites (lolz, I know, this place isnā€™t actually) should just stop repeating what these cowards say on Fox? At least force them to have the balls to leave the echo chamber if they want to get free press.

This showboat had me laughing this morning on CNNā€¦From their position in the hallway near the door to the GOP conference, members could be seen passing behind a CNN reporter. I spotted King walking down the hall talking with a woman. King noticed the CNN camera and stopped smack dab behind the reporter, his face visible to the camera, and continued talking to the now reporter-obscured woman.
CNN should put a cam in Kingā€™s fridge to catch the soundbites he give the fridge lite at night when snackingā€¦

What a liar. Even Fox News knows it but purposely avoided embarrassing him. The 9/11 Report specifically noted that Condi Rice was briefed as to the possibility of terrorists using planes as weapons. After 9/11, that criminal, Rice, had the audacity to actually say on TV, ā€œWho would have thought that they would use planes as weapons?ā€ Rice and Bush (Cheney too) deserve to be in jail for failing their primary function of protecting the country when given the opportunity. And then of course Bush invaded Iraq which had nothing to do with, the press drooled over the war, any war, and when the press asked Bush about Bin Laden he gave his famously ignorant response, ā€œI donā€™t care about himā€¦now watch this (golf) drive!ā€

ā€œPresident Bush has absolutely no responsibility for what happened on Sept. 11,ā€ King said. ā€œHe was meeting with the CIA, he constantly asked for briefings, and he was told that there was no evidence of any threat against the United States.ā€

Rep. Kingā€™s version of the ā€œtruthā€ is only one step removed from Rudy Giulianiā€™s claim that there were no terrorist attacks on U.S. soil during the two W. administrations.

In todayā€™s GOTP (and with TPMā€™s terrible ā€˜reportingā€™), not actually flinging handfulls of shit on the House floor makes one a ā€œmoderateā€.

I canā€™t believe Iā€™m saying this but King is partially right. Nor can I believe Iā€™m defending Trump, but I donā€™t think Trump said Bush was responsible. He said it happened on his watch. Thatā€™s very different than saying Bush was responsible, which only implies Bush was the reason it happened.

Facts being facts, Jeb Bush and the GOP want us to believe that itā€™s what happened after the attacks that really matter. And thatā€™s fine. What happened after the attacks is just as bad if not worse than the attack itself. Bush sent 10,000 troops to the country responsible and 150,000 to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. No Bush isnā€™t responsible for the attacks but he sure is responsible for the horrible chaos that is Iraq and the $1.5 trillion deficit he handed Obama.

Rep. King is right!!!111!!!

It was all the fault of Bill Clinton just like the financial crisis was the market pricing in the election of Barrack Hussein Obama and Nixon was framed by JFK from the grave.
