Comrade Blyatlov: Aug 4, 2007; should have picked four fingers

redneck nazgul posted:

Well, look at the two sides:

The people claiming Russian interference is the BIG GOVERNMENT that's always ruining everything and a party of sore losers who don't represent real Americans.

The people being attacked for benefiting from Russian interference is the guy who promised to bring back your lovely coal job and fix all of your problems, his cronies who are going to grift a gorillian dollars from the economy, and the conservative assholes who have been salivating at the possibility of destroying anything that doesn't benefit super-rich assholes.

So, absolutely loving nothing is going to happen because the people in power aren't going to implicate themselves and the people who do care are going to get shouted down by Twitter and a news media focused on eyeballs-on-stories that will happily drop the subject when Trump tweets about something else.

what bothers me is how right you are

so yeah, we are hosed royally and completely for ever and ever amen

i guess what keeps running through my mind is why are the russians interfering and why is trump fighting so hard to stop them being looked at?

because he asked them to do it is my guess

so if it comes out that i'm right, then not only do you have foreign intervention but on behalf of the beneficiary of it

i mean...... where does that leave us?

I doubt there was a Trump/Putin conspiracy, but if there was, there will need to be very compelling smoking gun.

In that case, it probably leaves us with high crimes and misdemeanors, i.e., impeachment.

Imagine if a piece of poo poo was advocating for you to get some type of position because he knew that you attaining that position would give him relatively more power. It's never explicitly stated, but you know it and so does everyone else. Now imagine that position you got would be somewhat delegitimized if people found out that a total piece of poo poo might have had something to do with you attaining that position.

Now imagine you're a completely incompetent narcissist. It's not fishy. It's just the perfect storm.

Nostalgia4Infinity: Feb 27, 2007; 10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING

I guess I'll give the same pep talk that I've been giving to friends and family.

If poo poo is bothering you call your representative's office. Let them (politely) know what's bothering you and why. A friend of mine who works for a (Republican) congressman's office in another state said when they were talking about rolling back that oversight agency earlier this week, the office got over 100 phone calls from constituents who were upset about it and this is a fairly rural district in a red state. That's what got them to back down: backlash.

Interact with your elected officials, interact with them regularly. Even if you're fortunate enough to live in a blue district let them know what's bothering you and what issues are concerning you. Do this, convince everyone you know to do this and maybe these clowns will realize that if they go full-tilt insane there'll be a political price to pay.

If all you're doing is :ohdear:

-ing on an internet forum you're part of the problem. Get engaged, please.
