Conflict of interest.... ha. The Florida Gun Control Rally MC himself...

In 1997, Jake Tapper was a spokesman for Handgun Control, a gun-control advocacy group. CNN and Tapper failed to disclose Tapper’s anti-gun activism in advance of the town hall that he hosted with the Parkland students. Did any of you know any of this?

Why wasn’t Tapper forced to disclose that he holds an anti-gun bias while hosting a town hall made up of anti-gun bias?

It isn't a trial either, it was request for a search warrant!

My point applies to either situation.

BTW, if you read again I didn’t post “excuses”, I stated some facts.

“Everyone lies at some point in their life. The important questions are where, about what, and how often?”
― James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty

“Before she died, my mother showed me a note I had written to her after getting sent to my room at the age of seven or eight. “I am sorry,” the note read. “I will be a great man someday.” She had saved it in her dresser for almost fifty years.”
― James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty

Yea, the guy who couldn't figure out which team .

https://sports.yahoo.com/james-comey-cites-lebron-james-role-model-135043933.html

“I admire LeBron James,” Comey said in a live interview. “He’s about to find out I used to talk about him all over the FBI. He illustrates what the endless pursuit of excellence looks like.”

Here from an ESPN article in July 9th, 2010, that even mentions Trump coincidently:

http://www.espn.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/17867/name-the-crimes-of-lebron-james

"Pretty much it boils down to the fact that he put himself on TV to make this decision, which sends the twin messages that he has an overblown view of his own role in the world, and that he's insensitive to how the whole thing would play in Ohio."

"Instead, people are livid at the reviled James. The feeling is that the arrogant James has finally revealed his true self."

"Powerful people flexing their muscles in public is not uncommon. Have you seen Donald Trump? And even though James could not have been more respectful -- he thanked the six teams he met with, and didn't say a bad word about anybody -- he knew he was in the power seat. Some preferred a world where no athlete had ever done that. But that day is gone, and it's never coming back."

2011

"Yes, millions of fans, including myself, were upset by the arrogance and self-centeredness with which James handled it all. On the other hand, James wanted to go to the place where he thought he had the best chance of winning. Where should he have gone? The Golden State Warriors? Why stay in Cleveland?"

Quotes:

LeBron:

"I am just happy to be part of the Nike family."

"I don't know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don't want anybody to know my identity.
I'm like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man."

You know, my family and friends have never been yes-men: 'Yes, you're doing the right thing, you're always right.' No, they tell me when I'm wrong, and that's why I've been able to stay who I am and stay humble.
"But ever since I was a kid, I was always the winner.

"I don't read books much."

Comey:

My wife Patrice, in addition to being enormously supportive, has taught me a lot about life. She might argue it's because I have so much to learn. One of the most important things I've learned is the art of listening.

Public corruption is the FBI's top criminal priority. The threat - which involves the corruption of local, state, and federally elected, appointed, or contracted officials - strikes at the heart of government, eroding public confidence and undermining the strength of our democracy.

The promise I've tried to honor my entire career, that the rule of law and the design of the founders, right, the oversight of courts and the oversight of Congress will be at the heart of what the FBI does.

Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department and used numerous mobile devices to view and send e-mail on that personal domain. As new servers and equipment were employed, older servers were taken out of service, stored, and decommissioned in various ways.

The lesson is the importance of never becoming untethered to oversight and accountability.

Senator Schumer is a partisan.

I see the government operating the way the founders intended.

I think that citizens should be skeptical of government power. But I fear it's bled over to cynicism. It is something that is getting in the way of reasoned discussion, and I'm very concerned about how to change that trend of cynicism.

I don't know if it's true or not that folks are less likely to tell police when they see things.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas student David Hogg is among those calling for a nationwide student walkout to protest gun violence on Friday, April 20. But he’s also standing in support of Columbine High School students who won’t be walking out Friday, the 19th anniversary of the Columbine massacre.

On April 11, Hogg re-tweeted a call for a walkout on the anniversary of the Columbine shooting. The walkout is in part a voter registration drive for young people.

However, Columbine High School has historically had a different approach to its tragic anniversary. The school is closed on April 20 so that students can participate in community service projects.

Must be conspiracy day and nobody told me, offthehandle was off the chain with the conspiracy drops.

Quick ones:
Playboy bunny was a joke.
Ratings are just a temporary curiosity bump, will go back down next few months.
Scaramucci was the guy in the photo that threatened stormy. Hotel and Uber receipts, plus finding stilts in his hotel room, are pretty solid evidence.
Somebody posted some memes about Obama and Hillary destroying America. Like a grade school meme, silly.

Siding with the law.

Exactly. 1 conservative and 4 liberals siding with the law, while the other 4 conservatives siding against the law. You just made a great case for putting in liberal judges. The ones that care about the law and our Constitution.

No Google Search Censorship, right.

https://info.mrc.org/censored

MRC + Fox, what a great combo. So basically, encyclopedias and fact check sites are anti-Conservative? So Conservatives hate facts? Then Southern Poverty...as well? So Conservatives = hate groups? Not a good look.

Why wasn’t Tapper forced to disclose that he holds an anti-gun bias while hosting a town hall made up of anti-gun bias?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Tapper

Not even a good comparison. It's not a secret, you found out about it. And it's not a FBI/criminal investigation.

Edited to add, as I expected from video above:
The Media Research Center (MRC) is a politically conservative content analysis organization based in Reston, Virginia, founded in 1987 by L. Brent Bozell III. Its stated mission is to "expose and neutralize the propaganda arm of the Left: the national news media.

Stupid would be your reply. What I posted is true, using your reasoning. 4 judges, all Conservative didn't side with the law, according to you. I think you just can't stand you thought you were making a point, and it backfired on you.

I guess Trump is back to sucking off Putin and throwing Nikki Hailey under the bus. How can you not be on the same page on something like this?

Look at your link - gorsuch-joins-with-liberals-deportations/

Look at the article:
Justice Neil Gorsuch joined with the court’s four liberals to strike down the law, in keeping with longstanding conservative anxieties about sweeping and imprecise grants of power to bureaucrats and regulators.

Why do you always try to debate reality? You did that yesterday with trying to argue Hannity wasn't a Cohen client with Cohen admitted it in court and came back with 4, why do you care comments. It's just silly on your part and you're not making yourself look good. Learn to pick your spots, not everything needs a defense, especially when you try to go against reality/facts.

Are you done adding paragraphs now or should I wait until tomorrow.

Oh, we haven't seen that one from you before. Complaining about edits, that you do you yourself. Grow. Stop using your tired old crutches all the time, make some progress. Don't stay stuck. And stop trying to argue against facts all the time, there is no win there.

My edits correct spelling and grammar. You add a paragraph every-time you find something new on google

Stop lying as well. You add stuff all the time, sometimes half days later. That's what the edit function is for. Think I've explained that to you many times, again with you being stuck, no growth. Sad.
