Schiff says he hopes Intelligence Community ‘will dumb down’ briefings for Trump

Jump

  • Are you talking about the Russia collusion thing where his campaign staff were found guilty of a bunch of felonies and he wasn't charged because a "president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office"? Where Mueller basically said: I'm not allowed to say he's guilty, but I can tell you he's not not guilty. That one?

    • Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law Angela Chao made panicked last call before dying in ‘completely submerged’ Tesla on Texas ranch: report

  • You have neglected to note that the original comment violates rule 6 against celebrating death.

    • Republicans baffled by Katie Britt’s State of the Union response: ‘One of our biggest disasters’

    • A plastic fork, a phone, a car part: why does the LAPD keep shooting people holding harmless objects?

  • The description of the fork incident is pretty misleading. Maccani stormed up to the officers undeterred by multiple bean-bag rounds, holding the fork reversed so that it looked like a knife. Take 20 seconds and see for yourself:

    A better trained / equipped group may have been able to de-escalate / disarm him, but -- unlike many other cases -- they didn't just wander up and shoot him for existing.

    • Ocasio-Cortez says Biden could 'do more' to earn votes than just attack Trump to advance Democrats’ vision in 2024

    Jump

  • What she said was "I think we can certainly do more to be advancing our vision, and I believe we have a strong vision that we can run on." She specifically calls out:

    • Codifying abortion/reproductive rights [House and Senate races matter!]
    • Lowering Medicare age
    • Student loan forgiveness

    Contrary to OP's title, she actually pushes back on the false narrative that Biden is running as "not Trump".

    She does say that it will be important to demonstrate "what we are willing to do with" governing power between now and November.

    • GOP congresswoman who used IVF wants to ban IVF

    Jump

  • Headline is an outright lie. The article literally quotes her saying she supports IVF. The author speculates that a bill she is co-sponsoring (that does not mention IVF) may accidentally ban IVF (if it passes and Biden signs it).

    Certainly you could denigrate her intelligence, performative politics, or the logical incoherence between her abortion and IVF positions. But you cannot say she wants to do something contrary to her actual explicitly stated desire.
