Josh Rogin of WashPost is on CNN expressing thanks that the US Intel Community has publicly rebuked Trump on Syria, North Korea, ISIS. Whether you call it a "deep state" or something else, impossible to deny that elements of the bureaucracy have consistently moved to thwart Trump

I don't remember "expressing thanks" to anyone. I gave analysis of why they rebuked the president. But trolls often insist on media accuracy while not adhering to it themselves. I forgive you. Namaste.

You were clearly putting a positive, grateful spin on the fact that the Intel Chiefs had rebuked Trump, so "expressing thanks" is an accurate characterization, figuratively speaking. If it were me proffering analysis, I'd be less inclined toward gratitude.

Jeez man, you don't have to mischaracterize my points to criticize me, just criticize my points. THANKS for admitting I never said "thanks." cc:

I didn't quote you as literally saying "thanks," I characterized your spin as tantamount to an expression of gratitude. Which is accurate.

"Josh Rogin of WashPost is on CNN expressing thanks." Come on brother, own your mistake since you always tell others to own theirs. Anyway, it doesn't matter, if you really wanted to know what I think you would have asked, not speculated incorrectly.

That's not the entire clip, but sure, people can watch for themselves. My inclination is to be skeptical of the motives of Intel Chiefs, which is why the positive spin put on their actions struck me as tantamount to "expressing gratitude." But thanks for liking me! Namaste.

You are so caught up in smearing me and defending your smear, it obscures your otherwise intellectually interesting arguments. If you believe Trump more than the IC on ISIS and North Korea, go for it! I disagree with you, and that's OK. 1/2

But me pointing out that (based on reporting, evidence, data) the IC is correct that ISIS is not defeated and Little Kim will likely not going to give up his nukes doesn't mean I'm spinning for them. There are many things I have criticized the IC for, including torture. 2/3

You painted the Intel Chiefs speaking out in opposition to Trump as borne of their honest, public-spirited motives -- as if we the people should be thankful for this. I would not be so credulous as to their motives.
