Muslim CNN host calls Trump a "piece of shit"

[Ava]

Not surprised by that. He'd fit in quite well with the DNC events that gather together by yelling Fuck Trump.

[Headhunter]

POSTUS Trump.

[showa58taro]

he's allowed his opinion. people are allowed to take issue with it, whether that extends to his employers. we'll see.

Do you think that is:

- in any way an appropriate response?
- appropriate for a journalist?

Yes

Yes

It's not published on CNN, its Twitter.

The London attack today was Trump's fault. If only he had let them into the U.S.!

no. it is neither trump's fault, nor should terrorism be tolerated or encouraged, here or abroad.

Open borders though...

UK Doesn't have open borders. It's an island...

[showa58taro]

I also didn't know that Trump planned a full-scale shutdown of all entry into the US from EVERY country. Because if you're going to start banning British people, one of your strongest and long standing allies, then I assume there's no hope for anyone else. Which would make for a very stupid plan, all things considering.

In actual news, we are now up to three occasions when Sessions met with Sergey Kislyak during the campaign, after failing to disclose any such meetings during confirmation hearings. Sessions is either grossly incompetent to forget multiple meetings or should be shitcanned for perjury, neither inspires confidence in our attorney general.

A liberal calling for arrests. lol.

Just curious, did you look at the "evidence" that spawned this allegation?

They were at the same Trump foreign policy speech. The report noted they have no idea if any member of the Trump team had a private meeting or even if they had incidental contact.

It's almost impressive how easy Foo and Jason can defend bad decisions made by people associated with Trump.

Going to a speech on foreign policy where a foreign diplomat is in the room is clearly treason! Especially given we are not at war with them!

I heard there were people in the Obama White House who spoke with our enemies. It may have been in attempts to have them not be enemies, but we should hang everyone just in case.

It's not that they were in the room, or even had perfectly legitimate conversations. All that is (possibly at least) fine. It's that you know there's heat around this Russian hacking scandal and investigations. Why would you not absolutely comb through every record and disclose it. All of this feels like people thought they could get away with not saying anything as it might raise a few mildly awkward questions, like Kushner and his meetings around setting up a communications line. In itself, not a big deal. Not disclosing it makes it seem like there's something to hide. Which is the whole problem with all of this.

Just read Aslan's "try and stop the backlash non-apology apology" he put out earlier.

Why even bother.

It actually just seems like a manufactured problem. A lot of people yelling "where there's smoke there's fire!", without naming a crime. For this to be anything, there needs to be criminal activity, and there is zero evidence there is any. You have the same fools yelling they want to impeach Trump for something different every day. The same ones who wanted to change the electoral college right after he won. It is an idiot parade.
