If you want to know why #liarjohnson is using #weaselwords again, ask WHY he dumped his security detail to party with a former officer in the Soviet KGB/Russian oligarch & then FOLLOW the money #russianinterference #brexit #borisjohnson #AlexanderLebedev #LordOfSiberia

He inserts the word "successful" to squirm around to try and deny there was Russian influence.

Een onderhandelde oplossing. Je weet hoe Poetin onderhandelt neem ik aan ? En waarom zeg je niet "ongeclausuleerde steun tot Rusland is uitgeschakeld" ? Waarom die weaselwords ? Of zijn jullie dan toch Poetinisten ?

Wenn es das nächste Mal so respektlos läuft, sollten sich die Journalistys überlegen, für Minuten geschlossen den Saal zu verlassen.

Regierungssprecher Kornelius heute zur verbreiten Unwahrheit von Kanzler Merz im ARD-Sommerinterview, dass die Wörter "faul" & "Lifestyle" beim Thema Leistung & Arbeitszeiten nicht von ihm kämen und er sie nie verwendet habe. Das ist nachweislich falsch.

Kornelius wollte dies aber nicht einräumen.

q. Are you confident blanche will follow the law and uphold the Contstitution?
a. No.
That’s all he needed to say. but he’s a coward, and in true cowardly fashion he weaselwords his pathetic response (not reply) back onto the interviewer and her level of confidence in some unpredictable future.

You can have low cost, or you can support the most disadvantaged & those at risk. You can’t do both.

This is bureaucratic blindness and weasel words.

Longer term arrangements will be focused on a low-cost model for transcription services for all litigants, including those most disadvantaged or at risk, at the core of its design.

Mink Jagger: This creek lifestyle totally rocks. 🌿🦉🤙🍁🦫

Imagine a tiny, wet, chocolate-covered burrito that has suddenly gained sentience and a deep sense of moral superiority. That is the creature before us. It is sitting on a pile of gray rocks next to some murky, pea-soup-colored water, looking like it just heard someone mispronounce an expensive cheese. The mink is sitting completely upright on its hindquarters, elongating its body like an over-stretched brown tube sock. It is looking off to the left with an expression of pure, unadulterated judgment. Its chin is slightly elevated, giving it the distinct aura of a wealthy aristocrat looking down at a peasant who just dropped a tray of hors d'oeuvres. It is sporting a coat of slick, dark-brown, waterproof fur that looks incredibly expensive, highly glossy, and slightly damp. It features a tiny, subtle white patch right under its chin—essential for that "I forgot to wipe away the cream cheese from my bagel" look. It is perched precariously on some jagged, sun-bleached limestone rocks. The water behind it is a dark, stagnant olive green, proving that you can look like a runway model even when your immediate surroundings smell like decaying pond weeds.

Associated Press (AP) called committing a criminal act an ‘unprecedented display of executive power’.

How do they cover murder?
‘Rightful execution’

Fraud?
‘Legal appropriation of resources’

Assault?
‘Directed dispute resolution’

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Rep. Ezell is a fucking liar.

He's not "monitoring" anything. This is bullshit for "I'm going to do nothing and I think my constituents are too stupid to know that."

This was a non-committal post on social media that provided absolutely no details as to what actions, if any, he's taking.
Screen shot of Facebook post by US Rep. Mike Ezell. Text of Mike's weaselwords: "I’m aware of the situation involving two students who attend Hancock High School who were picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and I know this has raised serious concerns in the community. My office is closely monitoring the situation and remains in contact with the appropriate agencies to better understand the circumstances. We will continue working to ensure that laws are enforced responsibly while also recognizing the impact these situations have on families and communities."

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them."

To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

New research conducted by security-wallahs & war hawks finds that Australians very concerned about (economic shocks, foreign interference, natural disasters, distrust in government & its agencies, etc that they claim are all basically issues of) "national security".

Um ok!

New research finds Australians increasingly anxious about national security
Threats like economic shocks and cyber attacks were considered most likely, but nearly half of Australians expect foreign military action on Australian soil.

"That I can tell you" (more commonly: "I can tell you that much") is a phrase that I've only ever heard used by evasive egotistical a-holes.
It's an empty expression meant to divert attention from the lie or exaggeration preceding it.
