> [@D\_Anconia](#): > > No Obama press secretary dodged the truth about you can keep your doctor? Just have to take a moment to laugh at this. Whenever anyone tries to claim equivalency between trump and other presidents\*, this is the single example of an Obama “lie” that gets trotted out every time. Like, yeah, one promise of ACA wasn’t kept. That’s totally the same as making up lies out of whole cloth, daily or near enough, on socially divisive topics, and doubling down when shown to be talking shit. - Every debate with a trumpista goes this way sooner or later. “Your side is just as bad!” is the best defense they can think of for his words and actions. ---

Walter Schaub, ex Ethics Commissioner, tweeted yesterday SHS violated the CFR by using her official twitter account to criticize the restaurant.

There is an excellent chance that Donald Trump’s policies are being - somewhat - controlled by Putin. The is excellent evidence Donald Trump is weakening our alliances with the major democracies in the world. There is strong evidence that Donald Trump will not condemn neo-nazis. To me, normalizing these things is repulsive. This is the path to serfdom, fascism, slavery, and totalitarianism. And if Ms. Sanders is refused a table at a restaurant, it bothers me not one bit. I support protected classes based on race, sexual orientation… maybe a few other things. These laws protect people who have been subjected to murderous discrimination for thousands of years. Otherwise a restaurant owner can say, No Shoes, No Shirt, No Condemnation of Nazis - No Service. ---

> [@D\_Anconia](#): > > No Clinton press secretary dodged the truth about Lewinsky? No Bush press secretary dodged the truth about Iraq? No Obama press secretary dodged the truth about you can keep your doctor? Well, you’re right: getting a blowjob was a horrible crime that anyone associated with should be heckled every time they show their face in public. Ditto making that mistake about ‘you can keep your doctor’ which had been true when the law was passed. Amirite? Now being complicit in a war that killed who knows how many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis (since the Bushies didn’t bother to keep track of how well their ‘rescue’ of the Iraqi people was going), yeah, people **should** get crapped on for being part of the propaganda campaign for that war, and the perpetrators really should be in prison for war crimes. Kinda like here, really. ---
