to see the difference between this and donald's attacks against the press. If you are measuring the aggregate donald did it more times, but intimidating reporters and trying to use off the record as a cover is one of the things I know I have been pissed about for the past for years and once is too many from any administration.

TJ Ducklo [View all] Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 OP

Not just seriously ill, he has stage 4 cancer and is undergoing treatment still_one Feb 2021 #1

Yes. I don't see how he works right now. Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #3

Apparently his method of working... tonedevil Feb 2021 #6

I agree wholeheartedly. cwydro Feb 2021 #11

I am sorry to hear that he is seriously ill. Blue_true Feb 2021 #76

A lot of people on our side... tonedevil Feb 2021 #77

I agree. Blue_true Feb 2021 #78

So you would give no consideration Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #81

While a Government official... tonedevil Feb 2021 #84

He resigned. Very loyal to Biden. Tough guy. Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #89

OK. /nt tonedevil Feb 2021 #90

Well, since it involves Politico, I'll take this with the usual suspicion Budi Feb 2021 #2

He told the reporter he "would destroy" her. cwydro Feb 2021 #5

What led up to the end scenario that was reported? Budi Feb 2021 #17

I've been through some romantic drama in my time. cwydro Feb 2021 #18

What lead up to his comments? That's my only actual questionnn. Budi Feb 2021 #23

There's no "side" to take. He let some petty shit from his personal life cloud his judgment and WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2021 #21

Yep. I'm sorry he's sick, but he got off easy, IMO. nt Laffy Kat Feb 2021 #22

So there's no lead up to his reaction. He just decided to walk out there & throw some Budi Feb 2021 #30

It's generally understood that government officials shouldn't threaten members of the press. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2021 #31

Their relationship is... tonedevil Feb 2021 #32

Right so she dug in & threatened to print a tell-all personal scandal Budi Feb 2021 #33

To me... tonedevil Feb 2021 #36

She knew what she was doing & should be fired as well. Budi Feb 2021 #38

You really don't understand a free press. /nt tonedevil Feb 2021 #40

Oh I understand it, I just abhorr the opportunistic scandal writers vying for relevance Budi Feb 2021 #44

She was writing a story about the relationship... tonedevil Feb 2021 #50

Well said. OnDoutside Feb 2021 #65

Yup. This is the underbelly kind of 'jornalism' that helped get America into the shithole Budi Feb 2021 #70

True dat. OnDoutside Feb 2021 #71

So Olivia is dating Ryan Lizzo of Politico! Wait for it... it's ALL BIDEN's FAULT Budi Feb 2021 #73

Yup, It's the phony bs of it all. JI7 Feb 2021 #85

That's the standard of Nuzzi alright. Thanks for that. OnDoutside Feb 2021 #88

As I said I am just glad that Biden Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #56

In today's high schools you find far worse than that, especially in the US. Celerity Feb 2021 #87

IMO, the White House should fire him. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2021 #4

I'm afraid so. cwydro Feb 2021 #12

The guy has stage four lung cancer Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #13

Someone who says "I will destroy you" to someone in a lesser position (or in any position)... cwydro Feb 2021 #15

There's nothing to "straighten out." WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2021 #20

He can continue insurance through COBRA or ACA. Politicub Feb 2021 #25

Thank you. Kid Berwyn Feb 2021 #27

Being disrespectful is never good Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #41

Are you really so ready to protect anyone... tonedevil Feb 2021 #7

For many, "It's better than Trump!!!!" is good enough. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2021 #8

I'm going to need a micrometer... tonedevil Feb 2021 #10

Metastasized to his liver, gallbladder and bones dalton99a Feb 2021 #9

Then he should be on medical leave SharonClark Feb 2021 #14

So if he had threatened a man Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #16

Please show where anyone on this thread said that? cwydro Feb 2021 #19

+100 bronxiteforever Feb 2021 #26

Pretty much calling him a sexist Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #29

Wow, you really don't get it, huh? cwydro Feb 2021 #35

We have no way of knowing that. BannonsLiver Feb 2021 #48

Yeah, he'd have said to a man, "You're jealous because she didn't want to f##k you." cwydro Feb 2021 #49

Right. But it was hauled to Vanity Fair and Politico? Budi Feb 2021 #28

That's easy for one of us to say. Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #42

He would be able to continue cancer treatments through COBRA insurance Politicub Feb 2021 #24

Who put him in the news? Budi Feb 2021 #34

That is some serious authoritarianism... tonedevil Feb 2021 #37

I saw the story on CNNs site and nothing was mentioned Boomerproud Feb 2021 #39

It was in the news back in October dalton99a Feb 2021 #43

Ducklo was diagnosed Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #45

It's because they're looking out for their media colleagues BannonsLiver Feb 2021 #57

There's more to this I bet DeminPennswoods Feb 2021 #46

It should also be mentioned BannonsLiver Feb 2021 #47

The person who he was dating... tonedevil Feb 2021 #51

Thank you. cwydro Feb 2021 #52

It seems a bit of a fib... tonedevil Feb 2021 #53

Their relationship is Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #54

This is why it is ok for... tonedevil Feb 2021 #58

Nonsense BannonsLiver Feb 2021 #55

So we will keep authoritarian bullies... tonedevil Feb 2021 #59

I would bet you would be laughed out of DC Springerjjhicka Feb 2021 #60

I know what he has done now. tonedevil Feb 2021 #61

Why is it a legitimate question ? Sounds more like a fucking shitty question. OnDoutside Feb 2021 #62

I think a Whitehouse official... tonedevil Feb 2021 #63

It's only legitimate if it was kept a secret, which it wasn't. And a WH Official with Stage 4 Cancer OnDoutside Feb 2021 #64

I don't see having cancer... tonedevil Feb 2021 #66

I hope the weather stays well for you in that ivory tower. OnDoutside Feb 2021 #67

OK /nt tonedevil Feb 2021 #68

They both told their employers and she was removed from JI7 Feb 2021 #69

Clear reason for a Whitehouse official... tonedevil Feb 2021 #74

These are gossip columnists, not reporters JI7 Feb 2021 #79

Moot point anyway... tonedevil Feb 2021 #80

I'm not the one complaining , you are. I just see things as they are. JI7 Feb 2021 #82

OK /nt tonedevil Feb 2021 #83

... probably should be fired. n/t demmiblue Feb 2021 #72

He resigned. I guess he's got more to worry about than a dust up with a reporter. George II Feb 2021 #75

yes, he is, to be blunt, a dead man walking (M1B stage IV lung cancer) so I feel bad for the bloke Celerity Feb 2021 #86
