    You know that thing Republicans do, where they band together and block shit, no matter what, by any means necessary? Democrats rarely have that in them. Many of them lack the courage & principles & genuine concern for marginalized people to fight hard when it matters most.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/997214414939082754 …

    Our new CIA Director is wanted for war crimes in several nations. She did not have the Republican votes to become the Director, so a team of Democrats, none of them Muslims or people of color or from a group at risk of ever being tortured, voted her in. Utterly Disgusting.

        Huh? War crimes for something that was legal in the US at the time, post-9/11? Can you please provide the fact to what you said? Interested to see that I'm wrong.

        The United States is not the final arbiter for what is and is not a war crime. Believe it or not, the United States can and does commit war crimes.

        Sure, but that avoids the question. When you say war crimes, give me the facts and the violations. You also neglect to bring in the context of the scenario. And if Haspel is a war criminal, then John Brennan (ex-CIA director under Prez O) should be but I didn't hear controversy?

        Yep, the US has been great at normalizing all kinds of monstrous behavior. Haspel, Brennan, and anyone else who had a hand in America's new hobby of torturing captives should be in prison, if not in the dock at the Hague.

        Unions used to do that. Democrats used to support unions. WE can organize again.

        Some Republicans run under the guise of Democrats. Democrats have allowed long time Republicans to run as Democrats, letting them switch parties. Wonder if that happened in this case. Nevertheless, exasperating psuedo Dems and Dems with no backbones. #PoliticsIsExasperating

        This isn't about spine, Shaun. Once you realize that there's always just enough Dem votes...just enough...to cross the aisle for terrible things, it all makes sense. You're giving them too much cover. Republicans voted against her ffs.

        Too many of them have the same goals as Republicans. But when you point that out, you get tarred and feathered as a sexist, racist Bro. It's weird.
