This entire article is a straw man argument. "Oh God Trump is going to be so pissed off at this and here's why he and his acolytes are retartid for getting so pissed off LOL". I hate articles like this from CNN.

Meh. The article just reminds us that the Trump faction likely won't pass up any opportunity to flood the zone with shit. They were already nuts anyway, having embraced the "terrorist fist jab" smear against the Obamas twelve years ago. It's amusing to imagine them using it against Cheney.

Just my opinion but if you're gonna write an article linked from the homepage of the world's premier news website make sure the thing you are writing about already happened and you aren't crapping on people for something that hasn't happened yet. Although you get extra points if it does happen and you get to say "I told you so"

It's obviously an opinion piece, and Cheney's terrorist fist jab already happened, if you'd care to characterize it as such. Probably not. Liz Cheney is White, so they probably won't characterize her as a terrorist. The contrast should be amusing, at least.

Of course it wasn't a terrorist fist jab.




Liz Cheney is not a Kenyan-born Muslim.

We need Hillary Clinton to let us know if Liz Cheney is a Russian asset or not.

Technically it's an editor-at-large's analysis but close enough.

I don't see anything wrong with an opinion piece reminding us that a former President once did a fistbump, and the right-wing universe lost their shit over it.

Yeah, nothing wrong with it. I'm probably making too big of a deal about it. I am tired of news outlets working so hard to tell me what I should think about something instead of just telling me what happened and letting me figure out what I should think about it. This didn't seem like news, but opinion pieces have been part of news for hundreds of years. It seemed a little too much like a "look at what these people are probably going to do and damn they are stupid because they did this" kind of strawman article. And now I've continued making too big of a deal about it.

This reminds me of when Obama gave Michelle a terrorist fist jab while eating a burger with dijon in a tan suit.

It was the healthy food choice obsession from the Oval Office that inspired that incel hamburgers and pistols enthusiast to go on the shooting spree known as the Bowling Green Massacre. Liberals are behind every horrible thing that happens.
