During Tuesday’s hearing, Gabbard told Warner that the Signal thread didn’t share any classified information but refused to share its contents, or even admit that she was on the chain.

“If it’s not classified, share the texts now,” Warner told Gabbard. “Share it with the committee. You can’t have it both ways. These are important jobs. This is our national security.”

Bitch, we can smell the bullshit 500 miles away.

    If “hate” is too strong word, then how would you describe your original use of “fucking disgusting?”

    I find their attitude about many things disgusting, but I don’t care about them enough to hate them. I have better things to hate in my life, like Zionists. And speaking of Zionists:

    If these were Jewish people, when would they be sufficiently not Jewish enough for you to not find them disgusting?

    I’ll ask: When would Zionists stop being disgusting? See what I mean? Okay back from the top:

    I have pointed out several times, they face a literal existential threat by saying anything now. Which means they have an unquestionably legitimate excuse to say nothing, that you are insisting isn’t as valid as them just being fucking disgusting.

    They’re saying things though; if they were silent I’d give them a pass (to an extent; all Americans who go that route share a moral responsibility for not acting). They’re vocally criticizing the regime, and have torn into Trump over the opsec stuff by your own admission. Yet there’s not a word about the mass murder.

    I’ve pointed out what over 50 liberals were saying BEFORE the Trump admin was persecuting them. And you’re belief is those words aren’t to be listened to because liberals are too fucking disgusting to be honest.

    You tried to argue that, and I laid out a counterargument that you then proceeded to dismiss and claim I just hate liberals too much. Look if you want to have a real conversation here you’ll have to engage with my arguments just as I engage with yours.

    Okay, so when is that?

    When they stop caring about the interests of capital and start caring about human life. More specifically wealth redistribution, strong regulation on capital, healthcare for all, strong climate legislation, not murdering people abroad directly or through Israel, etc are bare minimum criteria that liberals of all shapes and stripes fail miserably, because if they adopt these things they’ll stop being liberals and become some variant of democratic socialist. Liberals are fundamentally people who ostensibly care about both democracy and capitalism, but resolve tensions inherent between the two by falling on the side of capitalism. This is why AOC and Bernie for example are not liberals.

    Or is there something they could say worth listening to? What would that be to you if it exists at all?

    Liberals are worth listening to when they stan for democracy (so civil and political rights, what little social welfare and climate legislation they do support, etc), and not worth listening to when they stan for capitalism against democracy (so tax cuts and handouts for billionaires, unnecessary privatization, etc).
