Former aide’s ‘anti-war’ Obama fantasy, Nina – Latest News
Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This declare:
“I worked for an anti-war president.” — Former Obama aide Johanna Maska, Monday
We say: Talk about revisionist historical past: Angry about President Trump’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear websites, Maska needs Americans to imagine that President Obama was a dove.
Huh? He might have talked like an anti-war chief, however he didn’t act like one.
Is Maska forgetting that her boss was chargeable for the overthrow of Moammar Khadafy in Libya and the chaos that adopted?

Or that after calling ISIS “the JV team,” Obama declared all-out conflict on the terrorist group, authorizing airstrikes on the jihadists in Iraq and Syria?
Speaking of strikes, in 2016, the ultimate 12 months of drone-happy Obama’s second time period, the US dropped an estimated 72 bombs per day — or an average of three per hour.
Sorry, Maska: “Anti-war” your president was not.
This assertion:
“We don’t have moral high ground [on Iran’s treatment of women].” — Former Ohio Democratic state Sen. Nina Turner, Sunday
We say: Turner’s ignorance is past foul: Iranian ladies dwell underneath a regime the place marital rape is legal, security forces beat ladies and ladies who fail to adjust to necessary hijab legal guidelines, authorities flip a blind eye to “honor” killings and feminine activists are sometimes sentenced to death.

Turner ought to ask actual Iranian ladies, like courageous dissident Masih Alinejad, who continues to be being focused by the mullahs for combating for girls’s rights, the place they’d choose to dwell.

“Killings in Arizona and Minnesota shine light on the crisis of Christian extremist violence.” — MSNBC’s Ja’han Jones, Wednesday
We say: Jones has cherry-picked two ghastly incidents — the shootings of two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota by an anti-abortion wacko and the grisly April homicide of a pastor in Arizona by a (definitely not Christian) lunatic who says that Jesus is the “son of Satan” — to color proper–adjoining extremism as a main risk.
He expenses that “these killings have occurred in an environment that is awfully permissive of Christian nationalist violence.”
Nonsense: The actual “crisis” is mental sickness — and irresponsible rhetoric that encourages lethal violence.
And the majority of that comes from the left: Just have a look at the assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, the killing of two Israeli Embassy employees in DC, the assault on an occasion for Israel hostages in Colorado and the firebombing of Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home in Pennsylvania — all carried out by left-wing nutjobs within the final 12 months.
This assertion:
“Democrats are very orderly. They’re almost too orderly for fascism.” — Joy Reid, Tuesday
We say: Orderly? This declare by Reid, on Charlamagne tha God’s podcast “The Breakfast Club,” proves she hasn’t gotten any saner since leaving MSNBC.
Just because the November election, anti-Trump protesters have sparked riots in Los Angeles, lefties have firebombed Tesla dealerships and vandalized Cybertrucks and a number of Democratic politicians have been arrested at ICE services.
If that is “orderly,” we’d hate to see Reid’s thought of chaos.
