Discussion: Senate Intel Chair: 'The Unmasking Thing Was All Created By Devin Nunes'

TPM Article Topics
#338

You keep getting ahead of yourself.

Power was THE U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and the representative on the UN Security Council of THE 800 lb gorilla on the Council.

And - had access to intel reports. (Necessary, if one is going to ask that masked US persons’ identities be revealed, if you stop and think about it. Which I suggest you do.)

Further, Nunes tells us that requests she made were NOT denied.
We can only speculate why not.

Maybe, as UN Ambassador, reporting directly to POTUS and speaking on POTUS behalf to the rest of the world and specifically to the other member representatives of the UN Security Council, she had a “need to know”.
There’s also that member of the National Security Council part.

Nunes has been blowing smoke.
With the help of freshly fired Ezra Cohen-Watnick.

Whatever the case, we shall see, eventually.
Perhaps, so long as the testimony and reports aren’t classified.

I hope you feel better now, that you’ve gotten that off your chest.

LOL
You’re adorable.
To be clear, I am mocking you, because you are wrong in that assertion.

#341

I feel I should remind you both that the person who shot Rep. Scalise and others had a history of domestic violence. As do many people who go on to commit non-domestic violent crimes, many with firearms.

It’s actually a better predictor of gun violence than political identification.

I wonder if the NRA will stop opposing measures to control gun ownership by people who commit domestic violence.

First - they’d have to realize they were fooled.
I suspect there is a cadre that will never get to that point.

#343

So much so that the Republican Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence publicly called the Republican Chair* of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence a liar.

(*That would be Rep. Devin Nunes, who was forced to recuse himself from investigating “the Russia stuff”, and is under investigation by his own party-controlled Ethics Committee for leaking classified information. And who also got his big scoop from the guy who got fired from the White House today.)

The idea of shooting is a meme the right wing has been toying with for a long time. Doesn’t matter if our guy heard it directly from the NRA or from Trump blithering about 2nd Amendment remedies or from Rachel reporting disapprovingly that they said such things. If anything, the way the use of guns was discussed by Rachel would have slowed him down from using guns. So the right wing got some blowback from their own rhetoric.

Do we have grievances with Trump for actions which will cost people their lives? We sure do. Are bullets the right way to solve these problems? No. Are we going to shut up about the disasters Trump has cased and is contemplating because some fool chose bullets? Hell, no.

Enjoy your fantasy while it lasts.

The U.N. Ambassador getting involved in unmaskings is curious at best. Your weak attempts to explain it away confirm it.

Now go ahead and explain what Rhodes was doing rooting around the woodpile too.

That, and Obama changing the law allowing intel agencies to share info as never before, on his way out. It’s all odd to say the least.

#347

This is your lamest attempt yet to deflect responsibility for the shooting away from liberal media. You sound like this clueless chump who used to post here called “DiTurno” who actually believes the Clinton Foundation is a “non profit” and has nothing to do with political favors for sale. Where do you people get your wacky ideas?

#348

You have yet to begin to explain why it is curious at all - so your attempts don’t even qualify as weak.

You think it’s curious, then?
Well, lay out your reasoning - you must have a reason to believe it, no?
Let’s hear it.
Imperiously waving your hand and declaring 'this is improper!!1!!!" does not mean fuck-all.

By all means, feel free to try to obfuscate further.

While you’re at it, maybe you’d like to try explaining why unmasking and leaks are more important than the content of the conversations of the people who are freaking out about being unmasked and trying desperately to change the subject.

#349

Speakin’ a chumps, what can one say about a person who denies that a registered 501c(3) organization, which is subject of an annual external audit and subject to criminal sanction for self-dealing, is a non-profit?

#350

You mean what else can one say, besides all the big donors heading for the doorway the minute she lost the election? Fact is, “non profit” has a bit more to do with being an accurate term than just a 501c designation. It has to do with selling out the office of Secretary of State like a cheap trinket at a flea market. Incidentally, there’s fresh news just out about the subject – hot off the press!

Ditto.

Well well well… looks like it happened again. By that same swell “tolerant” bunch.

Anti-Trump Fanatic Executes GOP Committeeman with Two Bullets to the Head — While His Wife Was Watching (VIDEO)

Another lib nutcase hopped up on liberal media propaganda, wonder if he was a Maddow fan too?

But keep on pretending this isn’t a trend.

#353

And of course, ajm wants no part of this latest Trump-hating nut murder adventure.

#354

The nutcase Right doesn’t get to trumpet the usefulness of 2nd Amendment remedies and then whine when nut cases on the other side take the hint. It just makes them look foolish.

Maddow’s recitation of the bad things that Trump does is called reporting, it’s a constitutional right under the 1st Amendment.

#355

Fuck off, troll. You post nothing but right wing sites to support your half-assed, half-witted claims.

#356

You’re hopeless. You’re still spouting this same “Second Amendment Remedies” line to try and make it seem as if a guy drunk on left-wing liberal propaganda was instead really influenced by the NRA. It makes no sense because frankly it’s just bullshit.

Maddow doesn’t just recite facts. She also pushes a political philosophy. You seriously can’t be dumb enough not to realize this. Push the idea that Trump’s presidency is illegitimate enough times, and not only will people believe it, they’ll also get riled up and act on it. That’s what Scalise’s attacker did.

So your “2nd Amendment remedies” spin is just that… spin. And it’s senseless to debate this topic further with spinners.

#357

Well look what I found. Yep, the nut was into SPLC big time. But as the article says, it wouldn’t be the first time these liberal charlatans inspired someone to go out on a killing spree. (Must be that hate map.). So again, your Second Amendment remedies garbage FAILS. It was liberal propaganda that got him shooting. It was the SPLC article that falsely portrayed Scalise as a white supremacist that riled up Hodgkinson!

Yep there it is, the direct link between Scalise’s shooting and liberal propaganda. Established!!! Game over.

D.C. Shooter a Fan of the Southern Poverty Law Center
Jun 15, 2017
ALEXANDRIA, VA – The D.C. shooter was a Facebook fan of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a reckless organization that falsely labels people and organizations as “haters” or “hate groups.” The SPLC has now admitted James Hodgkinson “liked” the SPLC on Facebook. The SPLC continues to ignore warnings about its dangerous and false labeling, even though two separate mass murder attempts have been perpetrated by followers of the SPLC. Yesterday was the most recent attempted mass murder by someone who followed the SPLC. The first mass murder attempt was in 2012, when Floyd Corkins confessed he was motivated by the SPLC “Hate Map.
In 2015, the SPLC wrote an article pushing the idea that Rep. Scalise promoted white supremacy and supported a “hate group” founded by former KKK member David Duke. The SPLC article clearly tries to infer that Rep. Scalise is a so-called “hater” and supporter of a “hate group.”
