Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Why is it when I say, "know which Cheney asshole was by far the best witness in Libby case" people respond by saying, "why are you praising David Addington?"https://twitter.com/JackAnderson75/status/960996470181826562 …

    Pretty sure David Addington was a loyal Cheney stooge and an accomplice in the torture policies. Not someone I would praise.

        That's the entire point, dummies! Even evil incarnate like David Addington might make an important trial witness in the hands of skilled prosecutors. If Addington can be, then so might a vengeful drunk like Bannon.

        Guess I missed the Cheney asshole part. Maybe that should have been highlighted.

        Or maybe you shouldn't have invented "praise" where none was even remotely implied?

        Because people are idiots and, I increasingly believe, cannot actually read.

        POTUS has been struggling to make it through 10 pages and 36 footnotes all day. He's the most powerful man in the world.

        "LENGTHY." 45's Chief of Staff said the Dem memo was LENGTHY. I thought of you, MW, when I heard that....!

        Because people are very bad at nuance and ambiguity. You said "best", that must mean you think "entirely blameless hero".
