@ 13:05

pnwmom
(108,980 posts)appointment of General Mattis for Secretary of Defense, and she liked Devos, too because she was in favor of Charter schools. (She was and is a conservative Never-Trumper.)
She said she hoped the appointment of Mattis meant that Flynn and Bannon were on the way out, and she linked both of them with Putin. Obviously she was wrong about Bannon's losing influence, and she soon gave up any thought about possibly being the "last person on the Trump train."

(7,681 posts)Was she.
pnwmom
(108,980 posts)Whether we like it or not, the Electoral College ratified the election and made him President. It's too late for anyone to still be a Never Trumper. The question is not IF we'll be stuck with him as President, but how long.

(7,681 posts)here she is referring to Rupert Murdoch as her 'esteemed boss'

and saying George W. Bush is one of her heroes

is this really a person that should be promoted here?
emulatorloo
(44,131 posts)Because that twitter thread is solid praise for what Obama did, most if not all of which of which was covered/confirmed in the WAPO article.
Additionally should highly critical Never Trump Republicans like Rick Wilson and David Frum be banned here because they are conservatives?
Thanks for yr thoughts
melman
(7,681 posts)Because by that logic anyone at all, no matter who they are or what they've said, would be considered a legit source.
As long as they say ONE thing you like then nothing else matters.
And that is not how it works. Sorry. There are very clear rules about linking to right wing sources.
Hint: it's not allowed
pnwmom
(108,980 posts)Louise Mensch has said?
emulatorloo
(44,131 posts)Twitter is a mixed bag.
The question was simple. Let's forget Mench for a second.
Here are some conservatives who are anti-Trump:
Rick Wilson
David Frum
Steve Schmidt
I do not agree with them politically but they are people who have put party over country and are exposing how dangerous the Trump regime is to our country.
Their sane Republicans just like my dad was a sane Republican.
You appear to be equating them to the Michelle Malkins and the Sean Hannitys of this world.
That is a false equivalency.
Now back to Mench. All the Deranged Trumpers are amplifying this tweet.

As usual that's a totally self serving lie and a distraction.
Mench is pushing back on all of those idiots who are buying his bullshit that Obama did "nothing"
I do not agree with her politically either, but she has been consistent in her criticism of Trump/Putin
Again, county over ideology.
Those are exactly the qualities we need in our congressional Republicans. If they step up are you going to condemn them as well?

(108,980 posts)It's a good list but you'd rather just shoot the messenger.

(7,178 posts)Melissa he did a lot then. so much! want a list? you will feel better I promise! He shared intelligence across agencies via EOs
He ordered the Russian hacking report, attributed the hack to Russia. He threw out multiple Russians involved, he PNGed them, he ....
sent crucial intelligence on Russian hacking across congress and the courts but also to #FVEY partners: now they can leak it if needed...he
...closed the compounds and took intelligence out, he sent intelligence to varying state AGs, he catfished Trump with the Dana Boente EO
He @BarackObama ordered FINCEN into action, he planted cyberbombs across @putinRF critical infrastructuere AND got allies to as well...
....so that Trump could not find them and disable them. all #FVEY and multiple #Tier1 are in @Russia and well hidden.... he allowed @NSAgov
...legally to share intelligence across agencies and with allies. what, when Epshteyn and Flynn blew CIA assets you think he didn't know?
Oh he knew, and he knew Sunflower was likely a traitor and there were poison pills placed all over CIA. and then @BarackObama went to courts
In ways that I cannot describe, but ways that I know about. There are 3 branches and there are Five Eyes and there is a Special Relationship
End thread. Thank you Mr. President @BarackObama. Thank you, Mr. President George W. Bush. Thank you, Mr. President @GeorgeHWBush. #USA

(7,681 posts)and she's 'consulting lawyers' when someone says something (accurate) about her that she doesn't like.
pnwmom
(108,980 posts)melman
(7,681 posts)|Yeah okay. Whatever.
She accuses anyone who disagrees with her of being spies or 'deza' and you know it.
Anyway, here's the thing. I'm right about Mensch. She is a right-wing troll and a generally terrible person.

(108,980 posts)And I'd much rather hear from her now than doom-and-gloom-isn't it hopeless- progressives. When Dems were still standing in a circular firing squad, blaming each other for Hillary's loss, Louise Mensch was standing off to the side, screaming into her Twitter megaphone:
"It's not your fault! Hillary was robbed -- by Putin! And Comey's one of the good guys. Help him do his job!"
And she was right, unlike millions of Dems at the time.
