CNN reported that the IC was briefing the POTUSes on possible blackmail material.
Buzzfeed posted the 35p document that contains said material (or references to its existence)
NBC reports that two sources say the brief CNN reported did include select references to the document, but as an example of unvetted info vs. vetted and analyzed intel product.

Sean Spicer to Acosta: NO U APOLOGIZE!
There's no reason malign all of us because of a few shitty members.

Sticking to facts means being defensive. And being on the offensive you'll never have to stick to one issue, you can bait and switch as you please, and control the discussion.

No.
No. I believe in showing someone more respect than they show me, but when someone insults you and refuses to do their job.. well, I'd prefer someone call them out on it.

Between this, the way Acosta was treated, and the lack of furor from the remaining reporters I will not be surprised if we see journalists arrested at some point in the next few years.

Okay, I wasn't attempting to malign all Eagle Scouts ever or at all. I also did all of those things except in western Nebraska and Wyoming. I just don't think that experience should put me in a better light than those that didn't do it and don't think it should be used as some kind of bona fide at a political confirmation hearing.
But real nazis are the intelligence community because I still am not sure what this means.
Just random Godwinning.
Where the fuck has that come from?

Republicans have long believed that inmates from Gitmo that are no longer in Gitmo were simply dropped in American cities with green cards and welfare checks and told to have fun.
Either some evidence turns up and this is true, and the scandal devours Trump's presidency.
Or, there is no evidence and the story here is the fake news attacking Trump. The nuances between CNN and Buzzfeed are going to be lost on most. And if the story is fake, I think most people are going to see Trump as justified.
Also that they're all supervillains who are clearly criminals regardless of any finding of fact.

One certainly has more merit than the other, but both are still unnecessarily sensationalistic. Plenty of bad stuff coming down the pipe that's definitely happening rather than the distant possibility of total societal collapse. Apocalypse talk is infantile because it's a distraction.
The bane of such unfounded accusations is that nobody cares by the time you're exonerated (unless it's a criminal accusation that actually goes to a high-profile trial with a clear not-guilty verdict). This is what sank Clinton.
Well, Trump just made his attack on CNN a bigger story. So, that's one way of handling it.
Well I guess it was CNN. Do I get partial credit?
It was an idiotic equivocation. The right wing concerns over the apocalypse were entirely rooted in superstitious bigotry; left wing concerns are over a real arsenal of weapons that are now at the more or less sole discretion of a demonstrably unstable strongman. There's no 'equal' about these things.
The last right wing reactionary ideologue (one who at least had the benefit of coming from an old dynastic power structure in Washington) irreparably damaged modern western civilization after one landmark act of terrorism, and completely ended any semblance of civilization for the foreseeable future in Mesopotamia. I don't see a terrible war as a distant or remote possibility at all with the upcoming administration, based on historical precedent, and I see zero good reasons to trust the judgment of such a man with the cold war arsenal that he's pledged to 'update'.
I really hate it when people i cant stand agree with me.
Yeah, just because they do their freaking job once, and Trump treats them as a punching bag, that doesn't mean that they're actually good. Fox wasn't the only cable news channel which got us in this mess, it was a group effort by all of them.
Try the new American Republic, now with real banana flavor!
By which I mean I read a couple books lately on North Korea and this stuff he did today really gives me the crazy tinpot no dissent allowed fake projection of wealth/power/smarts chills
Well I mean, Trump did say it was proof that he was divesting himself of his financial interests...
