🎁. The ‘Missing-Scientist’ Story Is Unbelievably Dumb
Click to expand...
“… House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer expressed concern about the 11 missing scientists and said that “something sinister could be happening.” Another member of that committee proposed that China, Russia, or Iran might be involved. And last week, on the White House lawn, President Trump told a reporter from Fox News that he’d just been in a meeting to discuss the matter. (Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the administration will address the “legitimate questions about these troubling cases” and said that “no stone will be unturned.”)

Which is all to say that another piece of flagrant nonsense has ascended to the highest levels of U.S. politics and media. To call it a conspiracy theory would be far too kind, because no comprehensive theory has been floated to explain the pattern of events. But then, even the phrase pattern of eventsis imprecise, because there is no pattern here at all. Given all the people who could have been roped into this narrative but weren’t, any hope of finding meaning falls away.

Barring any dramatic new disclosures, the mystery of the missing scientists has the dubious honor of being a sham in every way at once.…”
 
Trump says let's replace Tulsi with this girl. She is even hotter than Tulsi, and I can be her sugar daddy... if you catch my meaning; if you get my drift ;)

It's way, way too late for that Tucker. And no one believes that this is a sincere apology anyway. You made a fortune and for awhile was a media superstar singing Dear Leader's praises on Fox, and you damn well knew better, and you knew that you were spewing lies even then. Now that you're irrelevant and living in Maine somewhere with a podcast that has a shadow of your former Fox audience you finally want to start apologizing? Nope.

ETA: And he's still doing his racist, sexist, right-wing xenophobic white replacement conspiracy theory troll bit, so there's really been no change in the BS that he's spewing, just that (for now) he's more critical of Trump. And on a side note, it's not at all a coincidence that none of these former Fox stars were willing to criticize Trump until after they'd been fired or forced to leave Fox News. As long as the high ratings and sweet cash was flowing in they were all aboard the MAGA train. Now that they've been excommunicated from Fox and fallen from grace we're all supposed to believe that they've suddenly "seen the light" about who and what Trump really is. Right.

To media people who do this mea culpa thing, my question back is always, “So going forward, there is no point to listen to your opinion ever again on literally anything if you were so wrong about what was patently obviously to a hundred million other Americans. Do you agree?”

REPORTER: Did you communicate with anyone you thought you were fired?

PATEL: It's an absolute lie. It never happened. You are lying.

REPORTER: The lawsuit says the opposite!

There's a reason this administration slams the press as "fake news" every chance they get. It's because the press reports on facts, aka the truth. And the truth is the last thing this administration wants anyone to hear. It's so painfully obvious.

My mom was asking me where I get my news if I'm not watching MSNow non-stop.

I said "well there's this lady, nycfan..."

You know, it's funny. While I still get the bulk of my news from AP, BBC and NPR, I've actually found myself watching a lot of MSNow lately. It's like a voice of reason in this mass dumpster fire we're living in. It soothes.

So the random conflation of events I thought it likely to be from the beginning.
