It's always passive voice. "A woman was shot," as if it was an event that just happened on its own. Never "ICE shot a woman." Certainly no context, like, "ICE shot a woman for no reason," or even "ICE shot a woman who inexplicably fled from masked gunmen with no badges."

It's not rational or irrational, it's rationalization. Everything is okay if he does it.
Pointing out that he's factually or logically incorrect, or self-contradictory, doesn't matter. Being right or wrong doesn't matter to him, only whether he gets what he wants.

That "only" tens of millions of Americans expressed preference for a serial child rapist committing genocide is still pretty depressing.

They don't want you discussing politics for the same reason they don't want you discussing your paycheck: the people with power over you don't want you comparing notes and figuring out how badly you're being cheated.

Hey, hot take incoming: the senate is inherently undemocratic and the US won't be a true democracy until that foundational compromise is corrected.

How can you punish Democrats for failing to swiftly enough fix what Republicans break, except by voting Democrats out so Republicans can break more stuff?

One of those guys kissed the right ass and the other didn't. Should have sold your country out when you had the chance, idiot.
He's testing this out on unpopular heads of state first. Before you know it, wars of conquest will be an everyday event.
Come on in, fellow frog, the water's fine.

This is exactly what happened to Noriega, it's what would have happened to Hussein if he'd been less good at hiding. It's not that this is an unprecedented overstep, it's a perfectly normal overstep for Republican administrations.

Let's be fair, he has plenty of experience being an MBA telling doctors how to practice medicine. He was a deputy secretary of HHS for Dubya, too, and CEO of an immortality research lab. He's always been a policy ghoul for billionaires.

All the rich old men who run the world took a vote and were unanimously against being subject to the same consequences for violence as poor people.

Even by the strict standard of the perpetrator confessing in as many words that they are doing a crime that is illegal, the man has been recorded on several occasions bragging about molesting underage girls.
If "grab them by the pussy" didn't convince you in 2016, you don't want to be convinced.

I notice everyone is in a hurry to prosecute Bondi for covering for pedophiles and no one's talking about prosecuting the pedophiles she's covering for.
So I guess it turns out she's actually good at her job of covering for pedophiles?

The answer is no, by the way. And I have no reason to believe that this will change when this one guy is gone. The people who should have been stopping him will let him get away with it, and they'll let the next guy get away with it.
