I hate the term multiculturalism. I prefer the term not being a giant piece of **** to other people because of their skin color.

Pretty sure this was coined by the same racist ****bags who brought us "globalization" so your reaction here is correct.

NYT isn't getting outsmarted, you just don't understand what their goals are.

In a normal timeline, yes. In the worst timeline, not as much.

They're getting released, the line for that happening has to already be off the boards.

He ordered their release based on people who hadn’t seen the documents telling him to. Since he never checks with anyone before doing any of the dumb stuff he does people who actually know what is in those documents are like hell no.

I don’t think trump, obviously, was trying to be transparent, but I also don’t think those who convinced him to change his mind did so because it made trump look like he was interfering even more. I think they went crazy because they knew it would be a huge backfire.

I do appreciate the trick the fbi hieachy has created that one party memos with no specific way to prove when they were created are given so much credit.

In not falling for this fbi banana in the tailpipe memo stuff any more.

This is exactly what I thought when reading the story.

Definitely the first one. Could also be the second though it wouldn't be all that effective.

The NYT's goal is to get as many readers as possible. That includes attempts to cater to the right and left. This leads to a lot of false equivalences and both sidesing that undermines their credibility with everybody and leaves a lot of people pissed off.

Of course, people have short memories and will jump on the next story that confirms their bias and run with it.

reading the comments on that twitter post (where 100% of people where dunking on him), someone made a great point.

These types are so afraid of America/Canada turning non-white because they are afraid of being treated the way they treat minorities so they are deathly afraid of becoming one themselves.

He’s absolutely going to fire Sessions and Rosenstein. Probably in the next week. And it’s probably his best move.

People have been predicting this for well over a year and it hasn't happened yet.

Just start deposing everyone for everything done in the White House. It'll be useful in some investigation at some point.

Why resign if you didn’t do anything wrong bro?

Is that district competitive?
