No, you don't have to act pig ignorant or like a loon - simply be aware what you're dealing with. To resist and fight back is the opposite of lying down with the pigs.

No, rm, I'm not confused

No, rm, I'm not confused about what you're saying at all. Nor is there disagreement.

Trump considers those who disagrees with him as his enemies. Given that a white supremacist is a senior advisor and Beauregard Sessions is his AG, blacks are on edge. Their was no confusion for me.

In reply to Huh?

They comport as the enemy, treat us as the enemy, respond as the enemy.

That was the remark to which I, albeit flippantly, responded. I have to admit that beyond that I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at ... but then again, I'm often easily confused. ;-)

Huh?

Huh?

If the Seal team was the ambassador to Yemen and his people, if the terrorist base was the US consulate office, if Trump was Secretary of State, and if Democrats controlled Congress and ran 3 or 4 investigations for 4 years trying and failing to tie Trump to the decisions that the courageous ambassador made that led to tragedy, yes, it would be 'joining 'em'.

I object to "trying to be fair" - a luxury we no longer have. They comport as the enemy, treat us as the enemy, respond as the enemy.

Only question: how do we use this situation to our real long-lasting advantahe?

We need people telling us

In reply to Exum is pushing a narrative

We need people telling us what is going on in our government, especially when Americans die.

Trump amd his administration surely are not going to tell us the truth.

We need less Exums giving us opinions, and distracting us with arguments, on who or what to blame or how we should react to events.

The nation is saturated with TeeVee and columnist pundits and grifters whose paychecks depend on endless bullshit.

Far too many of whom have never been worth a damn, not concentrating on or informing the people of the big picture we need to know. (emails was not the big picture for instance)

We need the facts, and efforts to assign blame is an initial step to get to the truth of how things happened, and who was at fault for any given fateful decision.

In reply to Exum is pushing a narrative

Trying to be fair here - the White House and practically every agency in the federal government is leaking like a sieve right now, but the majority of it is from anonymous sources. The level of anti-Trump "information" is astounding; even leading some well respected journalists to wonder if they're being played. At this point, don't we all wonder that? So "military sources claiming" may not equal legitimate concerns within the Pentagon, CentCom and elsewhere. Raids often go wrong and people die. It's part of the horrible process.

What I find truly atrocious is that Trump seems to be telling the agency heads involved to make nonsensical claims and post outdated videos to pump up the "success" of the raid - in which a Navy SEAL died and others were wounded, along with civilian men, women and children who reportedly lost their lives. It's just nausea inspiring to watch the administration turn it into a Conway spin job.

In reply to I trust Andrew Exum @ The

Exum is pushing a narrative that others disagree with. No one knows the deliberations that occurred behind closed doors. Some suggest that the unusual nature of military sources claiming that, " Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support, or adequate backup preparations” suggests that they were pushed to approve a raid they weren't ready for or perhaps even advised against. I'm not taking a side on this because, again, we just don't know. But it is rare for the military to point the finger of blame at the president for a botched raid.
