No one equated anything to anything else. You can't falsely equate something you're not comparing.

He claimed its collusion.

He's comparing the video to what we've seen from the Trump administration and trying to label people who don't agree as hypocrites.

No he's not. He said it was collusion. 'this is collusion.' Argue him on that.
 
proposed budget is set to be out Tuesday.. Here is what is expected.
Trump’s budget reportedly includes a massive $193 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the modern version of food stamps, over the next 10 years, slashing its budget by more than 25 percent. The food stamp cuts are part of a broader $274 billion cut that’s labeled welfare reform, according to the Associated Press.
The budget also contains $1.6 billion in funding for Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a larger $2.6 billion spending hike for border security programs.

The president’s first budget promises to balance the federal budget in 10 years, using an optimistic outlook on economic growth, projecting three percent growth after passing huge tax cuts, according to the Post.

Trump promised repeatedly on the campaign trail to avoid cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. The budget plan, which is set to be publicly unveiled Tuesday, does not contain cuts to Medicare and Social Security, but its large cuts to Medicaid fall in line with House Republican’s desire to curtail the expansion of the program under former President Obama.

Ill update the actual proposed budgets once it is released unless someone beats me to it
 
“We’re extremely disappointed in James Comey’s decision not to testify voluntarily before the Judiciary Committee," committee Chairman Chuck Grassley

Chuck GrassleyGOP talks of narrowing ‘blue-slip’ rule for judgesGrassley: Don't expect anti-Trump leaks to stop after special counsel appointed GOP senator wouldn’t be ‘surprised’ if Comey forced to cancel testimonyMORE (R-Iowa) and ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein
dianne_feinstein.jpg
Dianne FeinsteinFeinstein piles on Trump criticism: ‘Stop the tweeting’Feinstein: Comey is not a 'nut job'Sunday shows preview: Trump abroad as Russia probe heats upMORE (D-Calif.) said in a statement Friday evening.

"There is no reason he can’t testify before both the Intelligence and Judiciary Committees, particularly given that the Judiciary Committee is the FBI’s primary oversight committee with broad jurisdiction over federal law enforcement, FISA and the nomination of the next FBI director," they said, calling on him to "reconsider his decision.”

Former FBI Director James Comey has agreed to publicly testify as part of an investigation into Russia's interference in the election, the Senate Intelligence Committee announced Friday evening.

Comey’s testimony in the open hearing, which the committee said it would schedule after Memorial Day later this month, comes amid continued fallout over President Trump's abrupt firing of the FBI chief last week.
I can think of several reasons for COmey to decline the private panel instead of going to both.
1. Comey wants to tesity publicy
2. Why answer the same questions twice and risk responses that possibly be construes as conflicting because the questions were asked differently.
3. The panel would have Comeys public Testimony to consider before determining if they had additional questions
4. Comey would be better able to protect the privacy of his investigations in the public inquiry than the private one .

Any of you Dems remember this gem? Didn't hear you accusing him of collusion.
Click to expand...

Are you this stupid? What does that have to do with collusion? When was Obama accused of collusion? The Trump quote isn't even ABOUT collusion, it's about obstruction of justice. The problem is that it shows intent to soften the Russia investigation by firing Comey. THAT'S the issue.

On the Obama one it's an ethical issue of the president admitting that he can do more when he isn't under the microscope of an election.

That's not moving the goalposts, that's just recognizing where the fucking goalposts have been the whole time.
