Every word from a conservative is deception and every act a manipulation.
Performative or not, this is a smart thing to do. It defuses the situation, paints him in a reasonable light, silences the critics.
He might be an absolute shit stain, but you have to recognize that they handled this well.
this is a smart thing to do
Precisely why not a soul expected it
Just let it fester for a while and reprimand him for something else entirely when media have forgotten about this in uh… 3 weeks maybe?
Has anyone seen maduro alive since being kidnapped by trump to distract from his epstein files?
P.R team. Not his idea.
Probably for the few following months, their PR team gets to point to the election results every time somebody denies their suggestions and they practically get everything they want.
Oh absolutely. It’s just so strange to see competent anything from anyone attached to the GOP.
Yeah well everyone in this government has (or could have) a PR team but they keep doing dumb shit. Credit where credit’s due. (I still believe he belongs in prison for the war crimes)
You ever met someone who’s trying too hard to be your friend? Pete really wants a friend right now.
Not the response I was expecting, I’ll admit.
How? It’s just control over optics, nothing more. You think this idiot cares about honor or respect for anyone other than himself? Fuck. No.
Well, I didn’t think he cared much about optics, either. I expected him to court martial the guy.
I wonder if it was a black man if he’d respond the same? If it was a woman he’d probably be surprised he hadn’t fired her yet.
He threatened recalling and court martial Mark Kelly for reciting UCMJ on video.
That is a fair point
There was just an attempt at impeaching him. He’s probably trying to play it safe right now. Especially since another chance to impeach him will arise when newly elected candidates reach office in January.
I hate to say it, but this appears to be an improvement over candidate Trump’s response to being told not to stage a photo op at Arlington.

He’s too stupid to understand he’s recallable and if it’s something to award a commendation for then it stands to reason it’s also something worthy of a formal admonishment.
