That's Cal Woodward (@CalWd) and Colleen Long (@ctlong1) on Twitter, in case anyone was curious about who the actual authors were so they can hide behind the AP brand.
*causes problem*
"Fix this problem I caused."
"No."
"Well then, both sides caused the problem."
wtf.
Is this really something to be upset about? Sure they posted it; but we are the ones who read it. It takes two to tango here so we should really be upset with ourselves.
Did you just both sides a both sides argument? Or am I missing the /s?
DAILY PLANET FACT CHECK: Superman claims Lex Luthor's Kryptonite powered killbots are destroying Metropolis. But it takes two to tango. Luthor's megalomaniacal lust for power is only one reason the city is in flames. Superman's unwillingness to cede control of the city to Luthor is another.
Yes the man went on a killing spree, but maybe victims shouldn't have been so alluringly innocent.
Resetera claims it left NeoGaf because the owner is a sexual predator. But it takes two to tango. NeoGaf owner just wants to sexually assault women. Resetera doesn't understand that (she's bi).
This is fantastic. But should have been "Aeris needed to exist in order to be stabbed in the first place. It takes two to tango"
Yeah, no. Not going to let this one slide. Republicans are hardly in complete lockstep. Just looking at the Senate on this particular issue for instance: already, both Susan Collins (R-ME) and Cory Gardner (R-CO) aren't really sold on fighting for Trump's wall and it's McConnell that's preventing things from even getting to the floor. And in the House, nobody that represents a district that's on the border, whether Republican or Democrat, wants the wall.
Then of course all you need to do is compare this to the 2016 Congress and the previous times there was a shutdown during that timeframe. Y'know, when Paul Ryan's caucus was in such disarray that due to Republicans in the House being split between Tea Party/Freedom Caucus and other groups that he had to make concessions to Nancy Pelosi to actually keep things running, get a bill passed, and keep the government open.
But yet it's always Democrats that can never agree with each other. It's always the Democrats that are in disarray. And Republicans are always in lockstep regardless, despite the 115th Congress being one of the least productive Congresses in history due to how Republicans couldn't get their own shit in order, despite having the House, Senate, and Presidency.
That whole myth needs to die (that Republicans are always constantly working in perfect lockstep with each other and it's Democrats that are constantly tearing each other's heads off and preventing each other from getting anything done), but I know better than to actually expect that, unfortunately.
It's a verified Instagram account.

It's been suggested.

There's a better chance of him not going to Mar a Lago at all over the next 2 years.
The AP can fuck off. It's not the Democrats' responsibility to give in to the demands of a hostage-taking manbaby.
The United States put the blame for the murders on ISIS. But it takes two to tango. ISIS demand to rule non believers is one reason for the murder, the other is the United States refusal to give them the power.
This was true until the last year or two. I reckon he's getting a fortune now in kickbacks from businesses he has benefited & Russian money.
That guy has to be the filthiest rat in American history. what a fucking despicable piece of shit.
Both of them.
Which means the government are going to want to look at it. Easier to go unnoticed as an obnoxious "billionaire" in real estate and reality tv then a POTUS who sold out his country to the Russians.
It should have been AOC giving the official rebuttal address.

Compare that to Schumer and Pelosi.

Trump has long bragged about using other people's money to finance his ideas, so no. Besides, this wall nonsense isn't even about a wall. It's about WINNING and not appearing weak. So he will fight because it's a "thing" he has to "win". It's like a child whining over a toy he doesn't even really want because he realized you won't give it to him.
It how this clown reasons. Double down and throw a tantrum when things don't go your way.
I agree they dropped the ball on presentation but they're not going to let a freshman have that responsibility.
I don't like how the AP framed that Tweet either, but I'm not sure how helpful it is to light up what is arguably one of the last unbiased resources for news in this country.
I feel the same way about the recent kvetching on here about the NYT, by the way. Just because it doesn't fit your views doesn't automatically DQ it as journalism. That's a very dangerous path to go down.

how can you mention that tweet and the word "unbiased" in the same sentence
come on
God, this Rick Wilson op-ed has me in tears 😂
Trump delivers a wet fart Oval Office address

Just waiting for the NYT to do a feature along the lines of "How a Trump Supporting Federal Working is getting by in these times." piece.
Wow those people commenting on the Washington Post really make me sad. Why does it always feel like there are so many Trump supporters everywhere? 90% of the top comments are at least. Ironic that the people usually against spending the taxpayer's dime on "useless" things like healthcare and education support a fucking wall to stop a problem that isn't even a problem. Goddamn.
There's no such thing as unbiased journalism/news. Certainly not that AP piece, which, as has been pointed out, is from a person who has this kind of past of both-sideing & otherwise twisting things to fit his narrative.
"Man threatens to steal from friend's sister unless friend pays man $100k."
AP: Well, it's clearly the man's fault too. He had the choice to just pay up.
the very logic the AP is using is essentially "dems are bad because they didn't give in to a racist's shitty desires" especially when AP ignores the fact that it was Trump who ignored a bill that shut down the government to begin with, along with the fact that Pelosi passed a clean bill and McConnel refusing to bring it to a vote.
AP is being unreasonably Boogie-like in it's behavior.
He did and said nothing new, so in that regard it was a "good" address for the rest of the sane world.
Someone needs to fact check the fact checker because that's a fucking lie.
Troll farms. Trump's death cult wasn't ever that big to begin with, but the point of the bot swarm is to give exactly the impression you're describing.
It's like people choose to ignore that Trump said, on television, that he would take the blame for the shutdown.
Now I'm not surprised we're here, because literally everything that comes out of the mouth of this fucko is a lie. Even the shit he doesn't need to lie about.
You what AP?
If someone makes a stupid request and the other side says no, that's not a situation where you blame "both sides".
What's next, a bank just as to blame for a hostage situation when they refuse to give a bank robber access to the safe?
