It's just like McCarthy's list of Soviet agents working in the State Department and Nixon's secret plan to end the Vietnam War, only dumber.

I'm sure Otto Warmbier's family framed a copy of that beautiful letter and placed it in their deceased son's bedroom.

Add the test results supporting his bone spur diagnosis to the list of items Trump won't disclose, along with his academic records and tax returns. Mr. "Show Us Your Birth Certificate" really likes to keep things to himself.

For the record, I appreciate conscientious objectors. I just don't like chickenhawks, many of whom are Republican draft dodgers like Rush Limbaugh, for example.

The Baby Blimp has to redesigned with Trump's trendy new hairdo.

Anyone who speaks and writes as carelessly and imprecisely as Trump does is not fit for the presidency.

Let's Go Blues!

This comes as no surprise from a party that caters to people who believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old.

Give Trump a break. He said Frederick Douglass is doing an amazing job.

He's a "hyperpartisan" shill for the abolition of wage slavery through direct action by suggesting that voters occasionally vote for Democrats.

I give. You win.

No need, Chomsky is a hyperpartisan who is desperately seeking relevance who you adore.

Are you serious with this stuff?

Noam Chomsky isn't a "hyperpartisan." He is an anarchosyndicalist who sometimes recommends voting for Democrats in close elections against right-wing Republicans. On the other hand, his criticism of Democrats is often worse than it is of Republicans. Do a Google search for his criticism of Obama, Clinton, and even Carter particularly regarding foreign policy. He was a harsh critic of Clinton's domestic policies, too. James Carville is a hyperpartisan. So is Rush Limbaugh. Chomsky? No.

The quote I provided says that Chomsky did not pretend to know the truth between the conflicting assessments. To pretend that he called the alleged actions of the Khmer Rouge a fabrication is dishonest. You are attributing conclusions to him that he never made in the article you referenced.

Chomsky and Herman have been trying to explain away that Nation article for over 42 years along with copious help from their anti-war progressive supporters, with limited success, maybe you can help them out a little bit.

That is quite a mischaracterization. The initial criticism of the article you are referencing came from Marxists, incidentally. Regardless, the article was mainly a criticism of media coverage. It was in no way a defense of atrocities committed by any party.

This is the authors' conclusion from the article you referenced. You may want to read it sometime:

"We do not pretend to know where the truth lies amidst these sharply conflicting assessments; rather, we again want to emphasize some crucial points. What filters through to the American public is a seriously distorted version of the evidence available, emphasizing alleged Khmer Rouge atrocities and downplaying or ignoring the crucial U.S. role, direct and indirect, in the torment that Cambodia has suffered."

This was based upon information available in 1977.

That's really quite an "apology" for the Khmer Rouge.

Wasn't this guy a major Pol Pot apologist?

No, he wasn't.

Jehu,

What about starving orphans? Does Gawd get off the hook for letting them die? Why did he let their parents die knowing that they had to rely upon their parents for food? What about the kids who get leukemia or suffer sexual assault? Why does the Almighty not intervene to help?

Your God seems like a weak, self-centered jerk.

Are you a Trump fan?

He WANTS our hearts, our worship, our money (to feed the poor, to expand His Kingdom, which Christians do, statistically).
Read Genesis 3: he WANTS us to say "no" to Satan, he WANTS us to monkey-stomp Satan. Hold my communion cup and watch this!

God sounds like a deadbeat dad. I feed my kids out of the finite resources I have. Meanwhile, the Creator of the Universe lets millions of his kids starve. If my kid sustains an injury, I do everything I can to get medical treatment for him/her. God has the power to end childhood cancer instantly and doesn't do it. Plus, my kids don't even have to "worship" me for me to be nice to them.

If God is all-powerful he/she/it doesn't need Mike Pence, or me, or anyone else to fight God's battles.

Finally, we will learn all about the oringes!

Have any of the (mostly) Republican judges who heard the application for the initial FISA warrant or any of the renewals of that warrant filed disciplinary complaints against the attorneys who perpetuated this fraud upon the court?

No?

Why do you suspect that is?

That is strange behavior for an angry Democrat.

The party of Christian values strikes again.

Weld has intelligence, experience, and decency. In other words, he stands no chance.

There are many possibilities between non-existent Freemasonic devil-worshipers on the one hand and Muslims on the other.
Why don't we wait and see what the evidence suggests?

There is a good chance there was a devil worshiping Freemason behind this too.

No, there isn't and Freemasons aren't devil worshipers.
Education is important.

The administration that gave us covfefe, hamberders, oringes, etc., thinks everyone else is stupid.

Where are all the "strict constructionist" conservatives calling for Mnuchin to apply the unambiguous meaning of this statute?
