Page 6 - Chest Beating News Today

Toddlers on 9/11 itself. yesterday was a brutal day for the country, for this country, for afghanistan, for afghans, for their families and loved ones, and i dont have the names of the folks that died who were afghans. and i have to say i found the bad faith gross, almost gleeful chest-beating by republicans in the immediate aftermath of what happened yesterday pretty disgusting because this is now the second time in 12 years, as a journalist and just an adult american citizen, that ive watched ...

Almost over here as well. but that group, i think, is kind of almost insulated from some of the divisive issues on capitol hill because we have been working on it for a really long time and all three have been saying theyve been having good conversations. thats not what you hear during negotiations. one thing i will say and its important for people to note about this capitol police funding bill is that the negotiators said something that really helped, that they were really quiet. theyve had hou...

Killing of al baghdadi and to the presidents handling of it? >> well, first, i mean, it is a good thing. its a great accomplishment, and its another testament to the professionalism of our special operations forces, and im proud to say the absolutely crucial contributions im sure intelligence made to this. so from that standpoint, great accomplishment. i really sort of loathe to get into the chest-beating about which terrorist we took down was the bigger. >> right. >> but i would have to argue t...

I really sort of loathe to get into the chest-beating about which terrorist we took down was the bigger. >> right. >> but i would have to argue that i believe osama bin laden had much more impact simply because isis was not responsible for the deaths of thousands of people in this country, which al qaeda and osama bin laden was. so i think from that standpoint, the takedown of osama bin laden had more impact, particularly given the relative weakness of isis, not completely destroyed certainly, b...

A legitimate tool to hold this president accountable, you have to look at history and you have to come away and say, yes. one of the big differences between then and now is that both nixon and clinton had already been re-elected. this president is going into his re-election. and if the predictions are that the senate fails to convict, he would go in to his re-election campaign as likely an impeached president. now, how are republicans maybe sop republicans, not his base, and independents, they r...

Live in interesting times united states in american foreign policy and the president often responds to events as he likes to say from the gut and what happened after his announcement that the united states was going to leave was that the permanent foreign policy bureaucracy here in the united states the state department in the defense department the central intelligence agency others caught up with the president and modified his his his pronouncement that the united states was leaving and has le...

>> bonus points if its on twitter. >> then he climbs down while claiming victory and before we quite understand what the details of it are, you see a lot of chest beating on the right. well, how are democrats going to explain this one. how are democrats going to avoid giving him credit. you have to admit that only trump could have pulled this off. and it turns out, he got basically nothing while trashing american credibility in the process. and hes denying that today with -- >> four tweets. im n...

We could increase a degree of targeted sanctions on maduro and the circle around him and suggest that they are at risk of international accountability. we should be trying to negotiate with all the different parties in the region and the different factions in venezuela to bring about a transitional government. the problem i have with what i heard from pompeo today is, it sounds like the u.s. trying to dictate outcomes from washington to try to tell people whats going to happen, the with us or ag...

Saw cases just like the one we heard about yesterday. but in our role, i would always tell people, if we had to let a case go, if we had to make a deal that people didnt like, our role was to be ministers of justice. it was to convict the guilty but also protecting the innocent. and i dont think we protected the innocent very well yesterday. and i certainly dont think that were doing it today. there was a lot of chest beating that went on yesterday. on the other side. and it was pretty effective...

Case go, if we had to make a deal that people didnt like, our role was to be ministers of justice. it was to convict the guilty but also protecting the innocent. and i dont think we protected the innocent very well yesterday, and i certainly dont think that were doing it today. there was a lot of chest beating that went on yesterday on the other side, and it was pretty effective, i guess, if the goal was to distract the american public from what they had heard in the morning, to distract and def...
