They also were able to play games.

Blaming Obama is the Republican talking point, and Tapper works for corporate media.

since his days at ABC.

but she's not.

With republicans who have failed to take any action?

But with GOP they allow weaseling out of responsibility for actual policies or they ask the question as “Democrats would say that...” thereby turning it into mere partisan politics.

They don’t ask a Republican “what are YOU going to do about this cruel policy?” Or ask “the world’ sees this as America’s shame, how will you stop Trump from dragging the country down to the level of dictators and human rights abusers?”

You cross a border and get arrested and your kids taken from you? That’s iron Curtain stuff.

I'm not too concerned with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez; she is a principled person who speaks very clearly on what she thinks and believes. Tapper's questions aren't going to faze her in the least. She can handle herself.

But when is Tapper going to bore in on Trump and his administration folks, demanding they explain why they're running concentration camps? Oh, he can call them something else if he's so concerned about the feelings of the remaining Holocaust survivors (he isn't), but when is he going to use his platform to buttonhole the authors of this atrocity?

to her informative lectures on the history of humanity the next time she appears on TYT.

but MSNBC is all Never Trumper Republicans dammit

It's what you do with them that creates crimes against humanity

that's the key distinction. my mother is a holocaust survivor, and relatives were killed by nazis, but i'm not dishonoring any of that by acknowledging that the holocaust was not a singular, unique moment in world history.

genocides happen all over the world and throughout history, and we need to be vigilant.

we dishonor victims of the holocaust when we allow distinctions between various paths to genocide to blind us to the fact that we're on a path to genocide.

no two paths to genocide are every the same. donald the rapist is not going to sport a square mustache or an armband. but such distinctions don't matter to the broader picture. he consistently dehumanizes non-whites, particularly immigrants on the southern border (but never immigrants on the northern border or who fly in; gee, i wonder why). he is deliberately creating conditions that are cruel and unhealthy and possibly lethal in order to punish them for coming to america and to deter others from doing the same.

just because germany attacked people who were already there legitimately instead, or eventually turned concentration camps into death camps doesn't really matter.

the point is that donald the rapist is putting us on a path to genocide and the concentration camps he is using is a horrific part of that.


most important, we should be trying to improve the situation for these immigrants rather than having a stupid debate over what term to call their situation.

that SWEET, SWEET RATINGS GOLD that might go away if their precious Chump falls in 2020.

is a blatant and unrepentant reichwing writer and puts the worst possible spin in every article. For example, the link on the word some in "some on the left" is something Bill Maher said. I like listening to Maher and I agree with much of what he says, but he is hardly an official spokesman for the left.

As for Tapper, Senator Harris was absolutely right last night when she asked if one of her questions was ever directed at Trump (we all know it was not). Media asks different questions depending on the interviewee's political party and they let rethugs skate by with softballs so soft it would be better to call them Nerfs.

and unwatchable. So glad we cut the cable.

before Trump. It's obviously very different since Trump took office. Maybe Jake Tapper can explain that?
