    Gabbard was always a counterintuitive choice

    question her credentials

    In a striking series of exchanges during her confirmation hearing on Thursday, Gabbard declined to denounce Snowden in unequivocal terms, despite repeated chivvying from Republican and Democratic senators, and to the obvious chagrin of both sides.

    You fucking idiots. She’s a Russian asset and her boss plans to destroy the US government to the best of his ability, including your role within it, Republicans and Democrats alike. Speak plainly. “Counterintuitive.” Fuck you.

    I won’t say that The Guardian’s reporting is not an accurate view of the establishment’s sanewashing of this loony and treasonous choice that is simply one among many. But it should be the job of the journalists to point out when the establishment has its head up its ass, and needs to realize that there is a threat to its existence it is ho-humming along and more or less completely failing to recognize.
