That's it. That's definitely the big story here. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who is privvy to Trump's private actions & classified info, he has nowhere near the sensible perspective as some limp-dick who claimed an 80-year old congresswoman brutalized him.
"Hey uhh all the people around Trump thought exactly the same stuff as the shitlibs were saying. Hmmm does that mean that we might have been wrong (for 4 years) and they were right? Nope, it just means everyone *but* me is totally hysterical."
Again...just so close to getting it. But rather than taking the obvious conclusion (that everyone was right about Trump), he goes the opposite way. Because no amount of data can change the mind of a Tracey/Greenwald/Taibbi type.

DO(ING) SOMETHING is inventing a thing that you think might/might not happen and then getting pre-emptively mad at it and declaring the Dems have (already) failed, before it even occurs.
(And then when it occurs afterwards, you can just claim that your advocacy was what did it)
Fyi, I watched the interview with Schiff. All he said was, "We don't even have the committee members set yet. The only thing we have solidified is the first hearing with the front line police. But sure, it's definitely possible we'll be hearing from people like Milley".
Like, what are you even talking about/ getting mad over? The committee hasn't even started yet. How do you know that they're 'uninterested in getting answers'...it literally hasn't happened yet. Premature failure (source: my imagination that Dems will fail to DO SOMETHING!)
This whole thing is extremely funny, to me. I was just eating lunch and I saw that Politico tweet about Rodrigo being bad at parallel parking and forever reason this extremely dumb premise (the WH blowing it by not inviting Ariana Grande) just popped into my head.
I chuckled bc it was so stupid. I thought when I posted it some people would get it and others would find it believable (bc Politico publishes gossipy bullshit like that all the time). I thought it'd eventually get back to them & they'd be like, 'Uhhh no. We didnt' write that.'
But I thought it'd be a while and it'd be a pretty mild reaction. Instead, within an hour of posting, big diaper baby/editor of Politico Sam Stein was calling it 'disinformation' and summoning Twitter Support, which...I didn't really expect. I guess I should have, though.
Lying about name-searching, something which he does regularly ("I stopped years ago")....just extremely pathetic and Trumpian. Could make a whole psych study out of this man's brain.
"This is something I did years ago but stopped because it was too time consuming."
