Josh thinks the GAO is the be all, end all.

Well except when it told Obama( 3 times) he broke the law.

I agreed with them then, too.

Good try, bullshit artist.

And yet another Trump administration lie comes out:

Ward laughs because he took the GAO's side when they ruled Obama broke the law, but now poo poos the judgment.

The Trumpies in the West Wing cannot open their mouths without lying! It is quite something:

In a contentious interview on CNN Wednesday night, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway sparred with CNN anchor Chris Cuomo after Conway denied knowing indicted Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas.

Actually,  if we are to believe you then you know how absolutely irrelevant a GAO legal opinion is.

In any event he is not presidential material. But he deserves a fair shot at the nomination.

You had no credibility on this topic even before you shit the bed in the last election cycle.

Kid has an opininion that their opinion doesn't matter. (Hint: It is not an opinion - it's a ruling.)


And?

Asked about the apparent discrepancy, a Defense official told CNN, "That was the commander's assessment at the time. Symptoms emerged days after the fact, and they were treated out of an abundance of caution."


Correct.

That they flew - with the concussion symptoms - is a bit strange.  But no - nobody lied.

Just trying to keep you up to date on the news in The United States. I know it doesn’t penetrate very far into your new adopted home of trumpistan, a breakaway ghetto for fascists and other assorted goons.

The GAO is our nation's attempt to answer the famous Latin question, Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?  It is the primary audit organization of the federal government.  Only in a budding dictatorship would such an office, and its review of the relevant law of the land, be dismissed or disparaged. 

At this point, really, anyone who cannot see plainly that Trump is a corrupt law-breaking would-be dictator is so prejudiced and blind in their thinking that they are essentially immune to facts and reality checks.  For such a person, politics has ceased to be about finding truths and deriving just and competent governance from them.  If truth doesn't matter, then it's really just a role-playing game.  You come in, take some potshots, have a few laughs. 

I remember the Internet in the late 80s and into the 90s.  It was amazing.  Truth mattered.  Learning was enhanced.  People around the globe could really talk to each other.  The vision of guys like Tim Berners-Lee and Jimmy Wales seemed like it might come to fruition.  But no.  Monetized, silo'd, monitored, full of rapidly breeding and delusional memes.  Just another machine to keep everyone consuming.  And track those patterns of consumption.

You have been quite good at that game.
