Progressives (Liberals)

Sorry to see you’re so far from who I thought you were.

When the Secret Service checks out the volume and tenor of threats, they allocate resources based on that.

Ignoring you.

I've checked, they don't.

The information is classified, this means you likely are not going to find a listing of all the individual threats.

In fact, I doubt there is or ever was an audit.

You think this President might lie to protect himself? What kind of American are you anyway?

Of course it's a lie. It's legally irrelevant in any case so why pretend otherwise unless he's hiding a lot.

If we understand that the man is a sociopath, our ability to predict how he will act and the sorts of things he will claim as truths increases significantly.

Yeah, like we should let recent past behavior inform our predictions about how someone will behave

How can I explain this to you? Omar’s numbers of death threats from the demographic of people who pull off actual murders are high, religious and anti-Muslim sentiment which is rife in this country is driving threats against her, and she has been warned.

Presumably only going to get worse after that NY Post front page...

You come across as a very angry person, though.

President-elect Trump says that information published by Wikileaks, which the U.S. intelligence community says was hacked by Russia, had “absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election.” This was not the view of candidate Trump, who talked about Wikileaks and the content of the emails it released at least 164 times in last month of the campaign.

Up until 2016, conservatives were generally more critical than liberals of WikiLeaks, given the conservatives’ greater suspicion of whistle-blowers and the idea of exposing government secrets. I’m sure many of them felt a twinge of ambivalence when the organization to which they had been so hostile joined the Trump cause and their candidate himself began praising them lavishly on the campaign trail. “I love WikiLeaks!” Trump proclaimed, and mentioned them 164 times in the final month of the campaign. But they got over it; to take just one example, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who became intensely critical of WikiLeaks after the election, was a big fan during the campaign.

In the month before his election in 2016, then-candidate Donald Trump uttered the word WikiLeaks 141 times.

But conveniently on Thursday, just after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in London and charged by federal prosecutors with hacking a government computer network, Trump seems to know “nothing” about the website he used to “love.”

“I know nothing about WikiLeaks, it’s not my thing,” he told reporters Thursday. “I know there is something having to do with Julian Assange, I’ve been seeing what’s happened with Assange and that will be a determination I would imagine by the attorney general who is doing an excellent job so he will be making a determination. I know nothing really about him, it’s not my deal in life.”

Fortunately, Trump can’t rewrite history on this issue. The receipts are everywhere.

In October of that year, Trump could barely go a week without singing WikiLeaks praises:

— Oct. 10, 2016: “WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks.”

— Oct. 13, 2016: “It’s amazing what’s coming out on WikiLeaks. … They want to distract us from WikiLeaks.”

— Oct. 20, 2016: “We’ve learned so much from WikiLeaks.”

— Oct. 29, 2016: “This WikiLeaks is fascinating.”

— Oct. 31, 2016: “This WikiLeaks is like a treasure trove.”

Snood doesn't come across angrier than several other posters here. Can't help wonder why he keeps getting singled out for the "you come across as angry" treatment.
