Well… replacements?

Just imagine the worst and least qualified possible candidate. It’ll be him/her.

Not only that, but the demotion that comes with accepting the job would make Pence President.

^ Zing!

The 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph gave me a genuine LOL. The rest is all dry lawyer speak you’d expect apart from that one self-aggrandising sentence that was clearly dictated by Trump.

A quick google search with the term “General Flynn’s Security Clearance” brought up this and other numerous articles.

http://www.newsweek.com/how-michael-flynn-got-security-clearance-591994

I was asking for evidence on what Spicer said in those two sentences. Not a general article about the Flynn case that doesn’t appear to include any related evidence that backs up those two Spicer statements. I’ve giving up trying to find it, all I can find is evidence disproving it. Like I said… never mind.

“If President Obama was truly concerned about General Flynn, why didn’t they suspend his security clearance, which they approved just months earlier?” Mr. Spicer said during his daily press briefing.

“Not only did they reaffirm it, but they took no steps to suspend it,” Mr. Spicer said. He said that decision casts doubt on how vigorous Mr. Obama’s warning to Mr. Trump was during their meeting in November.

Evidence please.

It’s in the fracking article I quoted from

Not is isn’t. You quoted two sentences by Sean Spicer that are not backed up by any evidence in his words, your words, in the article, or anywhere I can find.

^ Do you not think language like that sounds a bit dickish considering you didn’t understand my post, or Sean Spicer’s words, or the article you posted. Me saying “two plus two, equals five” doesn’t become true because somebody quotes an article of me saying it. If you can find some evidence to support the two sentences you picked out then great, that’s all I asked for.

On a side note, when Spicer says “security clearance” he means the maximum possible level of clearance as Trump has tweeted. Not the minimum level of clearance that evidence seems to show.

Jetrell Fo said:

York Times wrote the fricking article, ask them, NOT me.

But you pulled out those two quotes from it. The only two quotes that don’t seem to have any supporting evidence. Which is why I was asking for it.

Don’t you think it’s a bit dickish to keep hounding on someone that said they quoted it from the article, linked to the article the quote was in, and then had to explain that if you needed more you should ask the New York Times, the folks that wrote the article?

I’m not sure how much clearer I need to be. I would guess there are other articles on the same matter elsewhere, google them instead of harassing me because you think Sean Spicer is a fool.

I’m not “hounding” you. All you had to say was “I’ve no idea”. I did Google the sentences you picked out and found no evidence for them, that’s why I asked you as you seemed think them important enough to quote. Never mind.

Seems like some senators are more interested in grilling Sally Yates over her opposition to Trumpy’s travel ban order than the stuff they’re supposed to be talking about today. A–holes.

The one where her views on the Muslim Ban were quickly and repeatedly vindicated by federal court opinions? That one?

Weird because it was never a “muslim” ban and most of the list was sorted by the Obama administration.

From the Washington Post…

On July 24 last year, Trump sat for an interview with Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press”. Todd prodded Trump on whether his new proposal targeting specific countries represents a “rollback” of his original Muslim ban. Trump denied that it was a rollback at all:

TRUMP: I don’t think so. I actually don’t think it’s a rollback. In fact, you could say it’s an expansion. I’m looking now at territories. People were so upset when I used the word Muslim. Oh, you can’t use the word Muslim. Remember this. And I’m okay with that, because I’m talking territory instead of Muslim.

If you take this in the “muslim ban” context

You are implying there is an “if” there, when there isn’t. It’s Trump’s own words.

Jetrell Fo said:

I could see how one might see it that way

I think you mean “Trump saw it that way”. It’s Trump’s own words.

Jetrell Fo said:

even Muslims here understood the basis for the concern due to the radicals amongst them which they did not support.

That’s irrelvant to the point you were making. You said “it was never a muslim ban”. Trump said it was, it’s Trump’s own words.

An astonishing video from CNN…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk99uQQGEok

Two members of the administration ranting at the press-core about the border wall and then CNN has the cheek to actually go off to the border and check the veracity of the rants.

It’s like the Trump administration believe they are living in a Stalinist regime where they control all the newspapers, radio and TV and can decide what is true and nobody will challenge them on it.

The Worst Star Wars Characters

Ratio Tile said:

TPM Anakin, AotC Anakin, RotS Anakin

This is almost a thread idea, but it will work here…

Which of these is the worst Anakin?

AotC Anakin is the worst for numerous reasons that don’t need to be repeated.

TPM Anakin was annoying and a colossal waste of time but because the character slate was effectively wiped clean for the next movie, a brilliant AotC Anakin could have pulled that character round.

RotS Anakin is clearly the “least worst” of the three. Because Lucas did an “Oh f**k I’m on the last movie and I haven’t even got round to establishing Anakin as being likeable and being friends with Ben!” the opening act tries really hard to do both, while not quite succeeding. After that point, Anakin being creepy and evil works in that movies favour given the Vader descent.

It’s a really long piece by Nate Silver but that’s the summation. Also in summary:

It’s sad that they are still claiming this as the up-ender for her. She was already on the slide back down the ladder. Her main issue aside from all the lies was that she could not relate to the average American. Those average American’s didn’t need the Comey letter to influence their decision. They put the “status quo” on notice long before the campaigning started, but they chose not to listen to the average American voice. 1.2 Billion dollars and a loss was a fate they created for themselves.

Are you sure that you are “qualified” to pass judgement on Hillary’s successes/failures as a Presidential candidate? It’s just that I thought you’d established a couple of pages back that one needed to have done the same job to an equal (or greater) level, to be allowed to form an opinion?
