[–] smittieaj 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
Nah, he's ableist for not raping the ones who have AIDS.

As excited as I am, it would be nice if he just strikes first without warning. Don't give them wiggle room to damage control.
[–] ArthurEdens 1 point 5 points 6 points (+6|-1) ago
They never learn their lesson, you're right. Strike without warning
[–] 8162542? 1 point 5 points 6 points (+6|-1) ago
STRIK FIRST! STIKE HARD! NO MERCY!
[–] Amyamy 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
That's exactly how I feel. Just BOOM. So they don't have time to preemptively do damage control.

They sure showed Trump that same respect by warning him in advance that they would leak the "grab her by the pussy" tape, in addition to that golden shower thing.

That's beyond weak to say considering what they've done to so many minds over the years, they get everything thats coming for them and more

No one who promises to release shit ever does.

Mostly true, but like other posters have said, O'Keefe has delivered before.
It's also his profession and he's trying to create hype. While it is good to see what he's exposing, he's not solely doing it out of the graciousness of his heart.

Not really. He overpromises and underdelivers compared to the hype.

I agree. Why not just go scorched earth, released it, then you can sit back and make all the philosophical and/or threatening statements about it you want. Reminds me of Tuco from *The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: * "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

Lemon, Tapper, Cuomo...if there is a god, please destroy these dudes.

I hope that the "moles" are safely away. Then again it would be kind of funny if they all kept coming into work and made CNN validate the whole dumpster fire by firing them.
[–] shwanky 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago (edited ago)
it really bugs me that people make "big" announcements about big announcements and then wait a couple of days to release it. Just release the shit and don't give the guilty parties time to clean up and scrub down. I believe this sort of thing is why that journalist got killed in California a while back when his car was wrecked mysteriously. I can't remember exactly what his name was but he did the same shit and his info never got out. And why Brietbart was killed.
[–] juicedidwtc 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Michael hastings. He didnt announce anything publicy though. He told a fellow jounalist he was working on something big and later that night the throttle got stuck at 100% on his car.

CNN in bunker trying to figure out how to spin this.

Dude is going to end up dead in a dumpster
