Maggie shocked that Trump did something terrible and that Stephen Miller maybe is untrustworthy.

3734

Hey Maggie, did you even ask?

3735

Kinda hard to ask questions when you’re busy regurgitating whatever fell out of Kushner’s asshole.

3736

She needs the access. She’s ghostwriting DJT’s next tome, “RIGGED!!!”.

3737

What’s the dirt on Maggie Haberman that I missed?

3738

The short version: she was basically Trumps personal spin doctor after he got elected while reporting for the NYTimes. But she got access so that made it okay or something. Eventually he turned on her, but she was, and often still is, playing bothsider crap with the GOP and Trump.

So her coming out and acting like someone should have told her about a thing that she should’ve figured out as a reporter is kind of par for the course at this point. Haberman’s MO is basically “well Trump/the GOP told me this, I can’t believe they’d deceive me like this!” And then repeat that same thing a week or two later. Then keep doing it for years.

She seemed to have turned a corner, but now we see, not so much.

“Why didn’t the Trump admin tell me they were sabotaging Biden?!” isn’t an idea a supposedly serious journalist for one of the largest papers in the world should be putting out there. She is amazed that people who lied every day for 4 years didn’t tell her something? Please.

Addendum: This is my personal take, but it’s a reasonable one given her history, imo. Someone else can do a more balanced break down if they’re so inclined.

3739

TL;DR for ShivaX: she’s a shill.

3740

I think this opinion column makes a nice point of it.

3741

Yup. We jokingly called her MAGA Halberman here because how she would repeat the things the Kushners told her unquestioningly.

3742

maybe we need an Anti-Asian violence thread

3743

There is one, and what the hell, that Guard just closes the door. What is wrong with people?

3744

Here’s hoping that those 3 have worked their last shift at that place.

3745

At least 4 cases happened in New York since Georgia. You see what I mean about the vile comments in that tweet? Everywhere…

3746
3747

Wait, so they did help her?

A six-minute video of the building staff members’ response to the attack later obtained by The New York Times showed both staff members standing by for about a minute before responding. That video showed that they likely did not witness the attack firsthand.

They later exited the building and appeared to help Ms. Kari.** Mr. Mason’s email to residents emphasized that they had also flagged down a police car.**

So they fired them despite a longer video showing they might not have seen the attack and then helped her when they noticed. Now this doesn’t make sense.

3748

Corporate HQ faced with the prospect of headlines and Social Media posts along the lines of “Shitty corporate refuses to fire the Doormen Who Stood By” went with the easy option. Firings are cheap and simple, and I’m sure those employees are relatively easy to replace.

3749

Didn’t one of the doormen actually close the door while the attack was happening? That’s what I seem to recall from the video.

3750

Yes, but a longer video suggests that while we all thought he saw the attack, he might not have and actually went out to help after the door was closed.

It’s really not… right if they believe they didn’t actually see the attack, so the delay was less about lack of humanity and more about not realizing what just happened and acting when they did.

3751

I wasn’t disagreeing with you. I’m just suggesting that the PR incentives all point one way, and firing is far too easy.

3752

Yeah. You’re right.

This doesn’t feel right. They literally didn’t see the attack, they seem confused for about a minute, and then go out. Some guy unloading something, maybe luggage, he saw it, but I don’t know if he tells anyone. The guy who closed the door might’ve noticed her on the ground after he closed the door. He wasn’t there to see it actually happen, so he’s not actually closing it with some intention to say not his problem.
