I’m starting to think John Kelly’s dead son was actually a sucker. Guy went to war and died and his POS father won’t even defend him.

I clicked on a Cillizza story the other day. When I realized he was the author I hit the back button and pretended it didn’t happen. I was home alone at the time.

We’re left with this dilemma: CNN is full of suckers and Chris Cillizza is a loser.

It’s really shocking how much he gets paid. They could hire literally anyone else for less.
the right is now attacking the atlantic, when everyone else including fox also confirmed the story but you know nobody but us nerds will know that last part.

Whoever continues signing his paychecks is even dumber than him.

We’re left with this dilemma: Jeffrey Goldberg, who authored The Atlantic piece insists that 2+2=4 is true. President Trump insists 2+2=5. Both of those views can’t be right, writes Chris Cillizza.

He did continue on with:
Now, I am not in a position to litigate who is right here. And CNN has not independently verified The Atlantic’s reporting. But Trump’s insistence that he would never say anything disparaging about a military veteran or the military more generally is belied by, well, facts.
And follows that with a list of examples before concluding:
Now, that is not proof – at all! – that he said and did what The Atlantic piece alleges. But the context here is not favorable for Trump.
Had this report come out about, say George W. Bush or Barack Obama, and they had denied it forcefully – as Trump has – it would be a near-certainty that most people (and the media) would accept that the story was just flat wrong. Because there was no indication in any of their past behavior that would indicate they might ever utter such sentiments about the military.
That’s simply not the case with Trump. And that fact complicates his defense of himself against The Atlantic in a major way.
The article feels a bit like hand-holding through the process of how to come to the conclusion that Trump is lying without outright calling him a liar. We wish the media would do just that, but this is probably as close as someone like Cillizza is willing to come.
