So Chimpy McFuckstick doesn't think we're heading into a recession.
He thinks it's "patentedly" unfair if the telecom companies are actually held accountable for their illegal actions.
...
I can't even go on. My brain wants to implode from listening to that dipshit.

The justification for war was a clear and present danger presented by an active, and possibly already productive, secret nuclear weapons program which was then artificially changed to the meaningless political weasel-term of "Weapons of Mass Destruction," which mystically has been downgraded to small amounts of obsolete chemical weapons. Which is presented as exactly the same thing as nuclear weapons because they are "WMDs" and by false dichotomy Conservative talking points pundits think they can just smugly shout down dissent.
Nope, a clear and present danger of nucs != WMD != to Sarin arty shells.
This is a rhetorical trick that amounts to little more than a lie.
The American people were told that Iraq posed a clear and present danger to the United States. This was then and is now untrue, and the intelligence that supported the assertions was cynically manipulated to support the assertion of danger.
It was a lie, and you are either a fool or complicit to continue to support and re-tell this lie.
