This is the Dunning-Krueger Effect set to 11, maybe 12. These people are too stupid to know just how stupid they are.

But Mikey, we don't hate America. We just hate you and this administration. I'd expect you to know the difference, but your job and very existence depends on you not knowing it.

You are nothing but as weak, sycophantic suck-up.

While the 1st order effects of Putin falling are good, it's the 2nd order effects that worries everyone. Russia is essentially a gas station with lots of nuclear bombs. Remember how we scrambled after the USSR fell to ensure none of the nukes took a walk? This could be potentially worse.

This is very ironic. Putin wanted to revitalize the old Soviet sphere of influence. Instead, he is putting the final nails in the coffin of the old USSR.

What's stupid about this, regardless of personal opinions about Comey, is that he knows this process inside and out. Neither Kash, nor Bondi or any of the other clowns are following the established procedures for presenting a valid case, and it shows. It's all done for an audience of one.

And the man in the chicken suit stared back and she blinked.

And that has always been his superpower. If you take him at his word, he is actually pretty consistent, but he makes other people doubt it, until he does it, and he does it so often that it almost becomes white noise. This is how he shifts the Overton window right before our lying eyes.

This is the difference between loyalty to a party and loyalty to a country. At best, it is a form of color blindness that lets you whistle past the graveyard. At worst, well, take a look outside.

Oh, the lost opportunity. It would just take one little push...

Maybe the guy in the chicken suit would catch her. Wouldn't that be irony!

It goes deeper than that. Regardless of the administration, they don't want to lose the access and the perks. Also, with increasingly conservative ownership, they have to both-sides things to keep the suits happy and stay employed.

They are going after anything that was created during the New Deal or Great Society programs. Yeah, created by democrats. but they aid so many others across the nation.

This is going to hurt so many red state citizens. It's like they are shooting themselves in the foot with a gatling gun.

He's been "unindicted co-conspirator #1" in some many adjacent legal cases but really prefer either convict or recently deceased.

Thanks for sharing those clips.

They say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. His fell straight down like it was under the effects of super-gravity.
