What a moron

Yes, but there's more.

He is actively working at changing the American people's thinking about Russia, Germany, Japan, and whose side we are on. He is seeking to completely disassociate from our traditional allies and align us with an axis that includes Russia and its satellites, Turkey, Hungary, India, and possibly Israel. This is a complete break from eighty years of a successful world order that won the Cold War and staved of World War III.

I understand that.  It is very shortsighted to consider Russia as a friend based on WII.  I was just pointing out that it's a common notion among a lot of elderly.  

You must be talking about the elderly who are pushing 100, because Russia has been our enemy for going on 80 years now. Even 85-year olds remember ducking and covering and doing fallout shelter drills at school. I doubt a lot of them have love for Russia after that.

Occam’s Razor applies here. If he’s spouting Kremlin talking points, it most likely because he’s Putins Puppet. I don’t think the maxim of not attributing to malice what can be attributed to idiocy applies here. 

He's not that kind of idiot. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Clearly they need to do a better job of screening out non-psychopaths.

It’s almost as if the officer in Texas did not escalate the situation immediately. It honestly blows my mind you can watch those two videos and say the officers did the same thing 

I never said the officers in both situations responded the same.  What you seem to be implying is that Beto and Padilla did exactly the same thing and that's what blows my mind.   Padilla was wrong for barging into a press conference and shouting and screaming and causing a scene.   He was in violation of the law when he started resisting law enforcement.  It was all done to illicit a response and he got exactly what he was looking for.   This is no different than those times a member of Congress shows up somewhere, demands entry, gets rebuffed and then runs to social media to play victim.  It's all stupid ass political theater and it annoys the **** out of me, no matter which side does it.

He walked into an ongoing press conference and started shouting questions.  You know damn well that's not how it's done, regardless of who you are.    Had this been Padilla holding a press conference and Noem walked in and started shouting questions, you'd be here defending her getting tossed and you know it.  

This silly ass hypocrisy in politics is half the problem. 

I didn't seem Padilla shouting questions in that video. Did you see a different video of that? Can you share it?

I don't think he's the genius you make him out to be.  Sure, he's a great salesman, but I don't think everything he does and says has a reason behind it.  I think he's full of ****, but knows how to sell it and at this point he surely knows that the entire Repubblican party will go along with whatever he he says.

That’s what I’m wondering. He even said what Padilla did was illegal as if he’s some random dude and not the head Democrat on the immigration subcommittee. He’s looking out for his constituency, which is very scared and angry right now and looking for answers. This is what any good senator should do.

[romad1]

Noem should be impeached by tomorrow .

I don't know it actually... I've never *ever* seen a sitting US Senator or Cabinet Member get tossed like this.

Furthermore, regardless of what they say, they *knew* who he was. And it was *they* who lost their poise (purposely or otherwise) to assault the Senator.

Don't make excuses for the DHS Secretary

Like the reversal on Rand Paul's party invite. Some staffer probably did that and then Trump reversed it.

I've felt this for a long time, but the successes he has had say way more about Americans collectively than they say about him.

I mean, he literally posted the video himself. 

 

If you think this is appropriate behavior from anyone involved, you're as lost as the morons worshiping a convicted felon that wants to bang his daughter.

@GalagaGuy Please explain where Padilla screamed. I wouldn’t even describe his tone or volume as shouting, not even close. You chose to describe it that way-own it.

Are we really to the point where we're going to argue over a scream vs a shout vs a yell vs a raised voice?  I'm just not going to do that.  You can't possibly look at that video and be okay with what Padilla did.   Reverse the politics of those involved and your position changes, doesn't it? 

[RatkoVarda]

again, Commissar Noem says the US government is in Cali to enact regime change through military force and people are arguing about the little kerfuffle.

We have been programmed by the media to ignore the meteor about to kill us all, and instead focus on 2 monkeys fighting.

[Motown Bombers]

According to Padilla, he was escorted by the FBI and National Guard to the press conference.

Absolutely not. No senator should be slammed down on the ground and cuffed like that for doing their job. If you don’t see the excessive force used here, I don’t know what else to tell you.

"No Senator should be....."  Being a member of Congress doesn't give you some magical immunity or grant you the powers to do whatever you want and go wherever you want to go. 

Same damn stunt they pulled here.....

It gave him the power to be in that building today. And in that room today.

So yeah, being a Senator does give you abilities that a normal person doesn't have. Same goes for GOP members as well

No doubt.  Long before Trump ran for President, I had a few people from certain other countries tell me that Americans are too trusting.  Perhaps, they were right.  We've had it so good with protections and freedoms that people have taken them for granted.   We can't see what's happening because we haven't experienced it before.  We are too easy.
