Because he’s lazy and not acquainted with competence or nuance. That’s why they attack it wherever they see it. It’s protective of their lack of

Of course they believe. It’s all ego. They say wealth = competence (regarding every subject). Many don’t respect for the humanity of others. Everyone exists to operationalize their “brilliance”.

Maybe he wasn’t articulate in his point. Seems he was saying because these men were married, it gave the appearance (to the public who wasn’t researching their fidelity to their marriages) that they were family men and that supported the role model image that facilitated the rise as a league face

We shouldn’t continue to amplify Comey’s always horrible timing. This distracts from the Mideast grift tour, budget dysfunction, HHS Kennedy’s incompetence, etc. Comey is America’s fatal flaw

Justifying tax cuts may be what’s encouraging repubs to go along but musk doesn’t seem to care about that. musk seems more interested in gaining inside info in order to “win” more bids for gov’t contracts

They’d find as many alleged “silver linings” of Jim Crow that they could and voice those as generically and horse-racy as possible

Some criticizing Jets / Glenn professionalism and the long flight, etc. If Rodgers’ response was “I’m interested”, that could’ve been the tipping point for Glenn. They may have been open to a discussion but Rodgers’ response could’ve sealed it for Glenn.

They, first, said they were electing him to make the economy better. Now they’re convincing us after convincing themselves that we don’t “need” a better economy. This is a cult of ignorance

Him saying this just shows how much more incompetent he is if he included someone who doesn’t know at all. He thinks he’s killing it

This is why Joy wasn’t a fit for msnbc. Everyone’s trying to play / help God with Israel being seated again to fulfill the biblical prophecy. As a Christian, I understand blind trust in men doesn’t equal Gods will. Also, He doesn’t need any assistance…never did!

So what are the ethical standards of the Marshalls. All should account for themselves

Please don’t implicate Wakanda in this! I get the point but use the Epstein island name or Maralago or other

Thank you. Also, republicans are responsible for this and for stopping it

Yep, like everything else. They’re trying to bankrupt and clear out DC to gentrify it as their MAGA wasteland where rich folks can come in and buy up all of the buildings. Not strategic; just crass and craven. They’re all grifting entertainers. Real World, FOXnews, apprentice, wrestling, etc

She’s a fan of dummy so her brain is wired to not hold him accountable just as she did not when she continued to support him. No story here; same blind loyalty
comment in response to
post
Same thing Zelensky situ. Allow dummy to bully you so we can maybe convince him to meet you 11% of the way on your position. Also, be thankful we / he is thinking about going 6.5% closer after you give up 100% of something completely unrelated. PS - I personally admitted to a coup live on tv once

I’m certain it’s always been an attractive attribute. Many of those “new” supporters live to counter-protest against any progress. Discriminate against a gay couple…and people rush to flood your bakery with new customers

The feeling is that her voice (and the voices she elevated) was removed to silence it and further delay the acknowledgement that they’re real and worthy of being included in the conversation.

Who you are dictates how you do it. She spoke her lived experience and gave a platform to others who had largely unheard / unappreciated lived experiences. It’s similar to many others’ lived experience across the country. May be unfamiliar to some - or most - but makes it no less real.

They - democratic pols or media - did not fail us. The 70M+ that voted for dummy failed us. And now, the repub pols are failing us. We can push dems to fight but they can’t be responsible for the actions of others

Super smart analysis! Yep, just like Trump. He’s rich so he must be [insert positive attribute], therefore I follow him blindly despite being shameless and despicable. They also see these people and think “I can gain wealth if I behave like them”…even 4 years later than last time and no progression
comment in response to
post
They are disingenuously focused on the salary bc that’s the only thing that can made into a positive with this guy. Nothing about the felonies, or lies, or shamelessness, or personal looting, etc.
comment in response to
post
Not surprised at all. MAGA is consumed with misery and insecurity and has become the host for parasite Trump. Many of them, in their social comments, love bullying and shamelessness and use his language like “you’re fired” or “make (insert anything) great again”. Insidious and pathetic
comment in response to

Joy had great perspective and was an excellent analyst with great range and depth. Just didn’t have the central casting look of morning Joe I guess and wasn’t remotely interested in saddling up to Trump and his incompetence and lying and bullying. Gonna be hard to watch anything on MSNBC
comment in response to
post
Ikr. We needed her perspective. Funny how the replies to your post are i-know-you-are-but-what-am-i comments. Liar, bald, unstable, buffoon, all describe someone else. Didn’t know you had to adopt one’s personality to support them…very parasitic
comment in response to
post
Sad that in order to support someone or thing (glad we don’t understand), it seems you’re required to take on their personality. It’s parasitic. Incredible the # followers this country of independent mavericks has. Also disappointed to see Joy’s perspective gone but shows like morning joe untouched.
comment in response to
post
It’s like many have taken on Trump’s personality for bullying and even his catch phrase to celebrate someone’s shortfall. I understand that people are free to choose what they like but morphing into that thing and becoming indistinguishable from it is hard to understand.

Nah not exactly. The Gulf is not only “for” the US. I see your argument and the AP’s argument - not conceding they have no legal basis…just not an expert.
comment in response to
post
I’m not qualified to argue on legal grounds and I hear the argument. I find value in their stance, as an independent entity, to operate as such. And Mt. McKinley is fully enclosed within the US so there is some differing nuance in the example. No one has exclusive rights to the Gulf but only parts
comment in response to
post
Just bc Trump says so doesn’t mean everyone has to play along and have pride in being dumb. AP is choosing to push back. Even if they lose on legal arguments, this has value. Few others are throwing their hands up and not pushing back
comment in response to
post
Yep definitely AP’s fault for playing into Trump’s hands. Very partisan to refuse to be bullied into a ridiculous word styling decree when you’re a global news organization where only one country’s exec branch has adopted a stupid thing. We’re accepting skewed definitions offered by idiots
comment in response to

Such a cavalcade of followers with no self-respect
comment in response to
post
Exactly…and could be a greater tool for additional chaos if he chooses to play along. I’ve also seen posts about him being a fine man. Irrelevant. There are reasons he wasn’t of higher rank and previously not mentioned in the JCOS discussion. We should not be compelled to ignore the circumstances
comment in response to
post
“…but he’s a nice guy” is what you’ll find in various posts / responses. Irrelevant. The conditions under which he’s becoming known are absurd. He shouldn’t have the job (following a waiver and potential, previously determined, underserved promotion). Keep the fallacy alive
comment in response to
post
So you want to make it personal with me but not the 3 star who will need a waiver to get the job bc he deserves empathy? I’m here for the intellectually honest engagement. Not everyone is. I see you choose not to genuinely engage so Godspeed, advicate
comment in response to
post
Ok great, we agree. I can engage with your comments posted on a social media site however I choose. I chose to offer an explanation to why he wasn’t promoted further. Your retort was about why you respected him. Satisfactory
comment in response to
post
And I maintain, if he said anything close to what’s been reported about his comments to and in favor of Trump while in the military, he should be assumed to lack critical judgement.
comment in response to
post
Sure, OK. You may think he can do a good job in a job he should’ve have given he lacks the higher level experience of the person he’s replacing. We all make choices so feel free to choose to defend him. I’ll not accept it bc it misses the point here
comment in response to
post
Great, he’s a solid guy everyone. Let’s set aside the disgusting, unfounded breach that was necessary to facilitate him being in this position. Look at his background (and don’t read anything into any of it) and not the context by which he is now becoming known to us.
comment in response to
post
If he said anything close to what has been reported, think we should know why he wasn’t promoted further. Appears, if reporting is true, he lacks some critical judgement and discernment. Larger question is how he reached 3 star

But what about the 70 mil that votes for this??
comment in response to

Nope. It’s a white supremacy coup. Simpler language is more clear and digestible for what we are seeing is more simple understanding and processing

Think we’re all learning that there are many more followers in the US than we would’ve assumed
