He is one very slick, unrepentant liar.

Jennifer Psaki is the Gandolf to the Sauron of Sarah Huckabee-Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany, and the Smaug of Kellyanne Conway.

 faggotseatdung Ah, the bothsidesism argument. My late mum often said, "Two wrongs do not make a right." Worth consideration, yeah?

OMG, the city of Minneapolis was burned down?!? The city no longer exists? Wait, that's not true.

As Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." To be human is to be flawed. One needn't know every individual on the planet; one merely needs a familiarity with basic human psychology and imperfect human nature. Judge Garland made a simple statement in a non-accusatory way, a statement that merely acknowledged the fact that we all possess biases. This is a truism. The issue lies in whether we acknowledge our imperfect humanity and try to set aside our biases so that we may be as fair and impartial as possible.

It's always depressing to watch a hack propagandist at work. Congratulations Representative Steil.

@stormyweather2807 Bless you for injecting a goodly measure of sanity and insight into a torrent of comments mired in ignorance, wild presumption, and a genuine fear of being outed as biased and partisan.

@edgarallenfuzz4487 Don't look for validation of your comments from the raft of poorly reasoned argumentation and snarky jibes that preceded yours. Judge Garland showed himself to be highly thoughtful, compassionate, and very aware of the present moment, a moment in which more Americans than ever before wish that the aspirations set forth in the Constitution become more than wishes, but actualities for those still on the fringes because of their skin color and/or socio-economic status.

Yet again Senator Scott misrepresents the truth: Durham did NOT indicate that the Clinton campaign spied on former President Trump. Scott hopes that viewers haven't actually read the full account, and are only aware of the manufactured outrage being promoted daily by FOX, OANN, NEWSMAX, etc., over Durham's confusing statement. Durham has NOT cited anyone for spying. He has merely charged one individual with lying to an FBI agent, a charge that does NOT have a strong chance of surviving a court challenge. Rick Scott has always had a penchant for distorting, indeed, twisting, the truth and now is no exception.

As usual, Marge plays fast and loose with the facts: The subject did not expressly threaten to "murder" Marge, but to cause her harm. And the subject has a history of addressing threats to public figures, no doubt due to his mental health issues (i.e., he suffers from bi-polar disorder). Lastly, why compound your display of stupidity by threatening a mental ill man with the prospect that he will "be met with a wall of bullets"? P.S. Yes, a credible threat against the president of the United States should be treated more seriously than a threat leveled by a nutter against a violence-inciting member of the House of Representatives. When you sow division and promote violence, don't be surprised by what you reap, Marge.

No, Vance did not have to work very hard to achieve what he has: his billionaire sugar daddy, Peter Thiel, gave him a lucrative job in his investment firm, and later bankrolled his (Vance's) senate campaign to the tune of 15 milion.

Indeed, when the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse begins I, for one, will thank the powers that be for my AR-15s. Chip Roy, a most blunt instrument in a party of dull tools.

Alito's towering arrogance--and presumption--is a terrible affront to the American judiciary and to Democracy itself.

@BB-cf9gx With respect, have not American Republicans-- with Trump in the lead--been railing against career politicians for years? Did not a large part of Trump's appeal lie in the fact that he was not a politician, but an outsider in Washington DC? Cheers

Vance needs to check the Constitution to jog his memory about how precious little power an American Vice- President actually has. Actually, he does know better; he is just gambling on his belief that his audiences don't realize that all his attempts to blame the current vice- president (Kamala Harris) for all the problems he cites are disingenuous and anti-factual.

Dear God, pillory that woman for worrying about the fact that with each strain of COVID an increasing number of children are being infected. Yes, her statement does constitute an overstatement--even bordering on hyperbole--but its lack of specificity (i.e.; Justice Sotomayer did not say that 100,000 children are currently in hospital due to COVID, but that "...100,000 children are in serious condition...") makes all these condemnations equally hyperbolic. As a parent and grandparent it concerns me more than a bit that COVID has increasingly extended its reach into the youngest in our population. Pediatric admissions for COVID keep rising with each new variant and we have no end in sight, nor do we know if a COVID infection will produce consequences/complications as a child ages. So, yes, when it comes to our youngest, to our dear children and grandchildren, I would much prefer that those in power exhibit an abundance of caution and concern, and not a blasé attitude.

"I never mean anything for violence," says the woman who runs ads showing herself holding an assault rifle while standing in front of images of members of "The Squad", and of her lying in the grass and firing a fifty calibre sniper rifle at a Prius with the word "Socialism" painted on it. And leave us not forget her "likes" of online posts calling for assassinating Speaker Pelosi and various FBI agents, or her answer, "Stage is being. Players are being put in place. We must be patient," in response to a reader wondering if it was time yet to hang former Secretary Clinton and former President Obama. Yeah, peace-loving little Margie.

@vinceschenden7349 My apologies for not replying sooner but I spent the afternoon and much of the evening with my five-year old granddaughter and I would not interrupt that time for anything save a true emergency. Yes, I do believe that Representative Taylor-Greene views violence as a remedy for what she perceives as an irredeemable, unsalvageable American government. No, I do not believe that she knowingly engages in hyperbole, nor that she employs rhetoric if one defines rhetoric as persuasive, well constructed speech. Her hyperbolic utterances stem from a poorly tutored mind, one that reaches for the extremes near always. Thus, every opponent is a Nazi, or involved in Nazism, Democrats are all paedophiles, Marxists and Communisms lurk around every corner, and people who invaded the American Capitol, causing millions of dollars in damage, desecrating the halls and walls, stealing property, and placing elected officials in fear of the lives, are, in Taylor-Greene's mind, "political prisoners." Furthermore, I would entertain serious doubts about any person who delivered the following message during her speech from the floor of the House: "We're gonna drill oil right here in the USA. And you know what, Pete Buttigieg can take his electric vehicles and his bicycles, and he and his husband can stay out of our girls' bathrooms." How does any mentally competent, educated person make a segue from advocating for drilling for oil to warning Pete Buttigieg and his husband to "...stay out of our girls' bathroom"? The fact that she does not realize that gay men and trans women are NOT the same is disturbing. Mr. Buttigieg and his husband have zero interest in girls' bathroom given that they do not desire females. And how on God's green earth does her homophobia belong in the same sentence as a call for more drilling. So, yes, Marjorie Taylor-Greene does employ hyperbolic speech just as adolescents do when they regard any issue about which they feel truly vexed as raw, urgent, and demanding of an outsized response. Thus, they resort--as does Taylor-Greene--do what others perceive as hyperbolic, overheated discourse. I rather expect better from a middle-aged elected official serving in as prominent a place as the American House of Representatives. And, yes, I do believe that an elected official of her age who does not understand that invoking the term "Nazi" and "Nazism" so frequently trivializes the words, robs them of the impact they should have, and devalues the terrible suffering and deaths that millions suffered at the hands of the Nazis. Those words are not some spice to be sprinkled liberally on a word salad, but highly charged, very symbolic proper nouns. But the adolescent, minimally educated mind would not realize that. Lastly, I do not agree that all leftist ideologies should be scrapped because I recognize the folly of tarring all with the same brush, and because I recognize the reality that leftist devices are embedded in most western democracies. So unless you wish to tell Americans that they must do without their Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc., and that American businesses must wean themselves off bailouts, subsidies, tax breaks, etc., then I fear that you are stuck with hybrid systems that incorporate aspects of socialism into "real capitalism" for the foreseeable future. Take care. Cheers, mate.

@vinceschenden7349 You are very welcome. Take care, mate. And be well. Cheers

@Joiously With respect, your statement is self- contradictory: one cannot be impartial and also support the agenda of their party's leader. By stating that he will support Trump's agenda, Thune is displaying his partiality. Cheers

@Joiously With respect, were an American congressperson to practice impartiality they would measure each plan, programme, proposal as objectively as humanly possible and measure each against the metric of its possible benefit to the American people. Whatever your intentions, the moment that you framed matters in terms of steadfast loyalty to the Republucan agenda and rejection of the Democrats' entire agenda--as though no possible overlap or commonalities might exist--the descriptor "inpartial" was rendered irrelevant and useless. There is no "context" that makes it otherwise. As for the notion that "... the agenda of the Democratic Party has had devastating impacts on the American people," the facts mitigate against such an overbroad and rather hyperbolic statement, a statement resting upon flawed perceptions rooted in anecdotal accounts, not upon truth and facts. Cheers

@Joiously With respect, firstly, I cannot verify your "facts" through any reputable online source. Secondly, problems caused by illegal immigration are not the only issues on any administration's "to-do list," thus it's unwise to hyperfocus on that. Thirdly, the degree of NewYork City's significant troubles are not representative of the great majority of America cities and states and inarguably its immigration problems are exacerbated by the antics of governors such as Greg Abbott who have extra-legally trafficked migrants from their state to "blue cities and states." Lastly, I, too, worry about the future facing my kiddos and my grandkids, but you are attempting to lay blame at the feet of the Biden administration for problems that have developed over decades, are affected by climatic change and geopolitics, and that affect so many nations around the world and are not peculiar just to the states. Cheers P.S. No need to reply as we will agree to disagree.

@csnizelful At last a voice of reason amongst the post-literate conspiracists. Good on you, mate. Cheers

@easyenetwork2023 Bless you for your insightful remarks, remarks that reflect a genuine understanding both of Judge Garland's remarks and of the willingness of more Americans than ever before to acknowledge that the United States has ingrained problems rooted in the legacy of slavery, a legacy that still impinges on America's progress toward truly living up to the promises proclaimed in the American Constitution and Bill of Rights. Little good is served by burying one's head in the sand and pretending that we live in a post-racial world. We most certainly do not, whether in America, Europe, the UK, or many other areas in the world. But we will never move forward if we take any suggestion that such a problem exists as a personal indictment, or a threat to one's privilege. We are all set upon this boat and those who have been in steerage for so long desire to come up, stand on the decks and gaze at the sky.

Senator Kennrdy plays the "aw shucks, I'm just a simple country lawyer" routine a bit too often for me to take him seriously. And he has proven himself quite adept at partisan ad hominem attacks to deserve respect.

Hawley rather missed the point made by Senator King: Senator King stated--based on his active participation in the Senate Intelligence Committee--that they (the committee members) did not have "months and months of advanced warning" about the likelihood of a rapid collapse of the Afghani military and government. Senator King referenced his direct experience as a member of the intel committee, experience obtained well prior to the actual American withdrawal from Afghanistan, in contrast to Hawley's deployment of information from a report--"limited in scope," as noted by the witness--produced post facto, well after said events occurred. Senator King asserted his knowledge of the flow and nature of the intel and that his direct experience runs contrary to the "spectacular failure to heed advanced warnings theory" that the theatrical Senator Hawley keeps banging away at. Given Hawley's combative reaction, which like so much of Hawley's exposition seemed rather rehearsed, I half expected him to challenge the senior senator to a duel.

@justinfelt3939 You may borrow my rose-coloured glasses if I may borrow your echo-chamber, mate. And may I respectfully suggest that you revisit the definition of the phrase "rose-coloured glasses" so that you can employ it correctly in the future. Cheers
