Some great new merch dropped on the Pitchbot store. Including these crazydogtshirts.com/products/no-ty…

Donald Trump promised the war in Iran would end with unconditional surrender. But he never said which country would do the surrendering.

@_brinked I like the research you've done but I think you'd be better off keeping your cool and going less ad hominem.

You are so pathetically dishonest it's unbelievable. That was from the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, probably the most Conservative from the ones I quoted. I'm sorry they're not calling for the President to be hung in the streets, but for a President they usually support that's absolutely a strong condemnation.

(1/X) I would argue that the vast majority of all commentary is essentially pro-Trump. I don't mean pro-Trump in the sense of liking Trump, I mean it in the sense of them not holding him to the anything close to the same standards as Democratic politicians....

@_brinked I do agree with this "You simply cannot read these articles and tell me they are sufficiently outraged"

You are simply lying now, either that or delusional. You simply cannot read these articles and tell me they are sufficiently outraged: Wall Street Journal: “this payment deal is rotten.” The Atlantic: “worse than stealing” The Guardian: “an extraordinary incident of bald self-dealing” Daily Beast: “brazen even by his usual, shameless standards.” Philadelphia Inquirer editorial: “daylight robbery of the United States Treasury.” Philadelphia Inquirer opinion: “a new low for a corrupt regime.” Dallas Morning News editorial: “manifestly un-American.” San Francisco Chronicle: “should outrage every American.” Le Monde: “controversial and nepotistic” The Week: “nothing but a racket” Reason: “the entire affair reeks of corruption” National Review: “an abuse of political power” The Bulwark: “Trump’s biggest, most lawless, most brazen theft of taxpayer cash yet” The New Republic: “no precedent for such brazen corruption” RealClearMarkets: “so exceptionally corrupt”

@_brinked If those are the strongest lines you can pull from those articles, then it's worse than I thought.

@_brinked "The payment deal is rotten"...whoa that's wild stuff. Can't believe they went that far. Really angry, really outraged.

@_brinked One more thing: I thought about specifically exempting Bulwark from my criticism (I didn't because I don't think Bulwark is influential the way the Times etc. are). And lo and behold, they're the only ones that sound angry to me

@_brinked You're making my point for me very well. None of the articles that I read (I looked at the first 8) sounded very upset by any of this. None called for his impeachment and removal.

@_brinked If a Democrat had done this, there would be several articles calling for his or her impeachment and removal. *I* would certainly be calling for it.

I'm not trying to argue with this person, but this list of articles makes my point. I read the first 8. None of them called for Trump's impeachment and removal. And the tone of all of them was quite mild.

@Valkyrie_News17 Epic. I love this.

Oh look, you’re a genocidal communist monster who claims that viciously lying about the president and his supporters for years on end, to the point your comrades try and mass murder us for not being Democrats, is “pro Trump” and “not holding him close to Democrat standards.” Maybe @DougJBalloon should move somewhere he doesn’t HATE to that point?

(12/X) calling for him to be castrated. That's outrage. This isn't.

(11/X) And for those who say "there was real outrage over the slush fun", well...no there wasn't. The Clintons endured a multi-year investigation because of a small land deal in Arkansas that ended with William Buckley...
