Stray Thought 0

I’m still unsure what I feel about the propriety of the Red Hen Restaurant’s owner’s decision not to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders. As the pearl-clutching has demonstrated, it provides right-wingers another opportunity to pretend that they have been victimized in some way when called to task for their misdeeds.

Nevertheless, I am certain of this:

If a baker can legally refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple, a restaurateur most certainly can legally refuse to serve a liar.

Gay is not a choice. Lying is.

The Trumper-Go-Round 0

Paul Waldman looks at the spin cycle. A snippet (emphasis added):

No matter what ludicrous charge Trump makes, the entire political system reacts as though it might be true. If tomorrow the president said that “Robert Mueller” never existed and the person claiming to be him is actually Nancy Pelosi in elaborate makeup, we’d all find ourselves debating whether Mueller is a real person while House Republicans angrily demand that he produce a DNA sample.

(snip)

These are lies. They’re not “unconfirmed,” they’re not “misstatements,” and they’re not “exaggerations.” They’re lies. They should have been greeted with headlines reading, “President Trump lies to public about Russia investigation”

Trumping Up the Charges 0

Jay Bookman discusses the serial mendacity of Devin Nunes. A nugget:

But if Nunes is not too bright or ethical, he is certainly diligent. That fake scandal was quickly followed by another, this time over the so-called Nunes memo. In that memo, the California congressman claimed to have compiled classified information proving the existence of an anti-Trump cabal within the FBI that had abused its powers in investigating the president. Once again, the conservative noise machine revved itself up; once again, Trump joined the fray, clearing the way to have the Nunes memo declassified and telling aides that it would prove his claim of a witch hunt against him.

Yet when the ballyhooed memo was made public, it too proved to be nonsense . . . .
