It’s a government official making a claim based on easily verifiable bad evidence, so if the whole thing wasn’t suspect before, it most certainly is now, right? Why should we give the benefit of the doubt? Not only has the administration not earned that right, they’ve shown over and over again that they don’t extend that benefit to anyone else.

It fucking amazes me that we don’t hold our leaders to a higher standard, and it worries me that people don’t seem to want to.

Is there an interpretation where it means somebody who is shockingly audacious?

People don’t like when you don’t answer their question because it doesn’t give them an answer to their question. Just answer the question first and then hop on your high horse to tell them why it’s not going to work.

I don’t order tea often, but we would also have to specify if we want it hot. I guess I always thought of the options as sweet/unsweet iced tea, or probably nothing because I’d be surprised if they have some earl grey back there.
