    I don't care what other Republicans say. I care what I think and I don't care.

    Well I would. Why not use the video you say you have?

    Which war zone? The one in Kentucky or the one in Syria? Why not blame Donald Trump for this screw up?

    See, that is yet another example of a non-controversy. Kids were still being kept in cages regardless of whether that picture was accurately time stamped.

    He explicitly noted before he started that what he was saying was not a direct quote, but what was essentially being said. He accurately described the contents of that phone conversation.

    But let me ask you Pred, is it appropriate for a sitting US President to request a foreign government launch a new investigation against a domestic political rival?

    That's fine, but I just wanted you to be clear in your post that both sides condemn trump on this issue.

    They have, but folks desperate to find any new justification for trump repeating the 2016 lie of the year are still criticizing ABC for using an incorrect video to describe an accurately reported event.

    Unlike most Democrats I do not look to Washington or the news to find out how I feel about a subject. It is time for the USA to stop going into counties to keep peace. If something needs done then we support there effort through the United Nations, NATO, or something along those lines.

    Come on, they didn't accidentally use the video. This was in line with having to rig the pickup up with explosives ling once again. Have narrative, have line we want the reporter to say so now we need video, don't have video, we will just produce something that is visually dramatic then. This is not reporting. Reports are not supposed to do stuff like this.

    Is that portion of Syria now a war zone or not? What changes based on their mistake?

    Trump's decision to abandon our allies on a whim means that thousands are now being slaughtered.

    Why should ANY US ally believe that Trump will not just abandon them on a whim?

    Your idea is that when a wrong violent vid is used, means... there is no violence?

    Right now it it not a war zone. Cease fire already and no American lost a life. Pretty good job Trump.

    This was not a mistake. They had to actively find this video then edit it and then lie about this video being in Syria.

    Marcuse must of gotten something right. The CIA hired Marcuse to written a critique of the Soviet Union in 1958 because they knew of Marcuse's knowledge and experience to explain the Soviet Union to them. That's why they hired him! LOL!

    While Marcuse was researching for the CIA, the American fascists--including the other pedophile and Trump's old friend Roy Cohn--were calling up actors and their friends in Hollywood during the cancel culture war known as "The House of UnAmerican Activities Committee."

    LOL! It's funny watching Bill Whittle repeating words he doesn't understand. Whittle is just spewing Cold War straw man fallacies and tropes with "Marcuse" attached to the front of his clown show. It is obvious to anyone that has ever read Marx, or Marcuse, or any philosopher in the Frankfurt School that Whittle has NEVER read anything written by Marcuse and is making a fool of himself posing as an expert. Whittle couldn't even explain the difference between science and social science.

    I see the same trend at every level of American society: One day wonders--fools and idiots--appear as experts with fake credentials in the offices they hold, but don't know anything! Haven't read anything. Can't actually discuss anything except mimic talking points and projecting their own intentions. But they are all imploding now, and it's a beautiful thing to see.
    In 1958 Marcuse told the OSS (CIA) that the Soviet Union was a "third-rate welfare state" and would collapse in 40 years. The Soviet Union collapsed on December 31, 1991.

    LOL!!!​
