You have to be cynical or compromised as hell to be ok with that display just right out in the open. Fortunately for Republicans, people who consume their media won’t learn about it.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, right? One sidedness is short sightedness. You are promoting the most despicable anti-American sort of behavior imaginable. We don't weaponize the state. We don't use it to dig up private records and publish them in the NYT to win political races and undermine democracy. That's what happens in third world communist regimes. Here in USA we don't do that. But if you want to set that new precedent, ROFL. I guess we'll see how that works out. It's hypocrisy to act like Trump is somehow immoral or corrupt if he were to respond in kind. If you guys do it to him, I hope he does it to you. Every time you escalate, we will escalate to match your escalation. That's how this works. Or you could try to win on the merits of your position, but I guess you can't, so war it is.
