    So yes if you start interrupting a press conference and being disruptive you will be removed. I agree with his position on Palestine but him acting as if what happened to him is even close to what is currently being done is outright laughable. Yes biden bad but acting like he was “the same” as trump ignores so many things I question the sincerity.

    Edit: also this is from February so I’d love to see if he still stands by this.

    It appears the question posed to Blinken was “Why aren’t you in The Hague”. While I agree with his sentiment, I question if he would have been booted if he waited until the question window rather than interrupting the Secretary’s statement. Not mad at his interruption at all, but I still don’t feel that’s equivalent to Trump’s level of media hostility in the slightest.

        Yeah. Definitely aimed at shaming Blinken rather than getting an actual answer from him, but the guy deserves way more than a moment of shame.

      Replying to “You’re being abnormally violent” with “Wouldn’t happen if you were more polite” is deeply missing the point.

      Insisting that you get to choose the forum, and the format, and the rules for debate is part of the debate.

      Who has appetite for supporting war criminals if it’s your side? (Hint: It’s you)

        so the last time you were at this restaurant the meal was also shit, but you’d rather complain about THAT time while the waiter is actively pissing on you right now.

          If last time I was served shit, I wouldn’t have returned to the restaurant in the first place.

          You do not fix anything by ignoring ongoing systemic issues to only focus on the current. It’s always “nows not the time to talk about that” and when the time comes it’s always “let’s not bring up the past”.

          How many people against Trump today would happily support another Biden, Obama, or Clinton if they were in charge?

    “Sure, they’re excluding people that disagree with Trump, now… but at least I get fake answers to my questions!”
