No. Just no. She was stating that right wing extremists (you know, like people who want to storm the capitol & kidnap governors) are a threat to democracy. There’s certainly a portion of the MAGA crowd that falls into that category. Vs what Jack Posobiec and Sim want to twist the words into: i.e. “all Trump voters are a threat to democracy”. Not remotely what was said or implied. Here’s a hot tip: when you constantly twist your opponent’s words and actions into something that makes them seem much worse than they actually are, you aren’t winning the argument. You are only re enforcing the belief system of the people who already agree with you. This is how we end up with extreme polarization and political gridlock.

Just a reminder that these people had parents who opposed LGBT curriculum that included graphic depictions of oral sex branded as "domestic terrorists" by the FBI. https://thenationaldesk.com/news/americas-news-now/doj-memo-which-compared-parents-to-terrorists-allegedly-requested-by-education-secretary-miguel-cardona-national-school-board-association-white-house-education-deparment-justice-marrick-garland-nsba-school-board-domestic-doj-doe

September 1, 20223 yr Ah Fascism... ...any students of ACTUAL history here? Edited September 1, 20223 yr by FourFans130
September 1, 20223 yr @Prozac I literally quoted what she said, and you respond with your own inference of “well what she actually means.” Maybe after the AF you can swing a job as a spokesman attempting to master the art of deflection, backpedaling, and deceit.
September 1, 20223 yr If you don't agree you're a racist, sexist, homophobe, fascist, xenophobe and whatever made up words used to vilify the other side. It's the American way!

Yeah, this. Holy hell, I appreciate the level of discourse here, but @Prozac, sometimes I wonder if you're a bot, a paid shill, or what. No offense or nothing. But at some point, it's quibbling, and/or nonsense like arguing the definition of "is."
September 2, 20223 yr Scooter…wake up it’s meeting time. ATIS “Grandpa ATIS, what did you do in the war?”Every day at 1500 I would bang on the wall and make sure Scooter was awake for the O&I. Somebody had to do it…
September 2, 20223 yr 'Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,'

What does someone look like who got hired out of merit? I kinda thought the idea was that merit was unrelated to what you looked like but maybe you have a different philosophy and I'd like to learn more about it.
September 2, 20223 yr "Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together. Uniting our people. And uniting our nation." President Joe Biden, Jan 20, 2021 So glad POTUS honored his campaign pledge last night and attempted to reunite the nation.
September 2, 20223 yr The First Order style red and dark background was an interesting aesthetic choice.
September 2, 20223 yr Kind of makes you want to give a good 'ol fashioned "Heil FJB" to the Fuhrer der Demenz.
September 2, 20223 yr The irony... The administration that just raided Donald Trump's home for old nuclear information hired this to oversee current nuclear information!

Someone who was hired on merit wouldn't struggle so much with incredibly predictable questions.

I kinda thought the idea was that merit was unrelated to what you looked like… In this case, somebody hired off of merit would not look like they were reading statements from a book. They would look like somebody professional enough to think on their feet and talk extemporaneously with honesty about the questions that are asked, not somebody who spends 80% of every briefing reading pre-written notes that may or may not answer the actual question. Count the number of “umms” and “ahhhs” and tell me the average undergrad communications major couldn’t do better. Psaki was a liar but at least she looked competent at speaking in public.
September 2, 20223 yr ^ this is fair, but I’m also not sure that’s what the OP meant. If so…as I was!
