Leader Jeffries bringing the fire

[senseandsensibility]

He just held a press conference that was carried on C-SPAN. His take on the explanation of Hegseth's reported double tap strike : "The White House is lying, but that's no surprise, because they lie for a living and the American people know it."

Simple. Blunt. Rude. I kind of like it.

[J_William_Ryan]

1. "The White House is lying..."

It’s true.

And the people know it; the problem is far too many don’t care, while the rest of America has become numb to Trump’s lying, corruption, and criminality where responding is pointless.

3. Great sum total tautology.

[Trueblue Texan]

8. As much as they ones that don't care are the ones who believe...

...nothing they do will matter. The learned helplessness Americans feel has been part of the project from the start of the fascist takeover. We have to somehow help to turn that around and show people they DO have agency.

2. More of this please

[Cha]

4. Mahalo for the Report from

C-Span on what Hakeem Jeffries said!

[senseandsensibility]

5. Only wish it was covered

on CNN and MSNOW.

[Cha]

6. Right? It's a Rotten

Shame we don't a Responsible media in the USA.

Can't have calling the Liars "Liars".

That's why it's Especially Nice to get a report from C-Span which I for one would not have known about.

[senseandsensibility]

9. Agreed! I posted it here because I was sure that many had not seen it

Not even the news junkies here on DU. Dems need to fight back, but the "press" needs to cover it!

[Kid Berwyn]

7. Truth.

We the People got the receipts. And they''re mostly bills, apart from the treason.

[PatrickforB]

10. ...carried on C-SPAN??? So, what? It reached 10 viewers?

Not meaning to be disrespectful, but if the big media doesn't cover it, then what good has it done?

[MorbidButterflyTat]

26. What do you consider "big media"?

It's on social media:

Link to tweet

PBS:

Link to tweet

What good has it done? Really?

[Wounded Bear]

11. Finally they are actually saying the word out loud...LYING...

Not dissembling, or obfuscating, or whatever.

It's called LYING. Simple and accurate.

They are LYING.

[senseandsensibility]

15. Well, Jeffries

doesn't seem to be holding back. He even had visual aids (posters) with the words "they're lying" or something like that in huge letters.

[Kablooie]

12. Remember when...

For one politician to say another is lying was scandalous?

[MerryBlooms]

13. Remember, we were first told the survivors were taken aboard one

Of our vessels in the area? That was the last report I read, until this gruesome report

[senseandsensibility]

14. Vaguely

I don't know if I'm confusing it with another case, but I remember something like that. People were speculating about what would happen to the survivors on the boat and what their story would be.

[slightlv]

16. Wait a minute... he said the White House is lying...

because they lie for a living? Does he not realize HE IS the White House?!

[senseandsensibility]

17. ?

Sorry, not following.

[MustLoveBeagles]

22. I don't follow

Hakeem Jeffries said this not anyone in the White House.

[slightlv]

24. Ok... thanks... totally misread it.

I thought Trump said this... that's why my confusion. Thanks for setting me straight!

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. No problem

I've done it too.

[senseandsensibility]

27. I thought maybe that was it

but didn't want to put words in your mouth.

[slightlv]

28. They'd peobably be better

Than what's coming out of mine! Lol

[Martin Eden]

18. Standard reply when asked about something Trump said

During his 1st term, I wanted every reply from a Democrat prefaced with:

"Let's remember that Donald Trump is a pathological liar with zero credibility."

[senseandsensibility]

20. Agreed! And as an eternal optimist,

I don't think it's too late. Maybe just tweek it a little to reflect that the R party is always lying. Let's use it for the midterms!

[BidenRocks]

19. These boats did not have Fentanyl.

Why would they when the usual drugs in that area would be weed and cocaine destined for neighboring countries?
Like America, willing customers.
Those boats do not have the range to get to CONUS.
LIES, right from the start!
We are very familiar when politicians play war on drugs.
Does chump have a Drug Czar yet?
More Russian influence.

If someone is doing street drugs and experiences a negative outcome, it was their choice. Like prostitution, their will never be a victory in a WOD. EVER!

Personal Responsibility is no longer a virtue.
We have a Nanny State.

EPSTEIN!!

[MorbidButterflyTat]

23. Love this!!

But I don't consider telling the truth rude.

[Joinfortmill]

29. It's politics. Politico. They want to remove Maduro.

[pansypoo53219]

30. this never should have happened. the military should know better.

[BurnDoubt]

31. ANTIFA today, the boogieman tomorrow, Gollum the next.

All their targets are shades.
Meanwhile, Proud Boyz and Oath-Keepers hunt down People of a non-White Persuasion down like dogs for bounty, and amass weapons in their forest lairs, grooming their spawn to hate “the Libz”.
It remains a salient feature that no “witnesses” or “evidence” of drug trafficking were saved to provide a rebuttal to the “charges” against them.
Sloppy work for a “Whack”.
And it STILL constitutes a breach of the Law.
