Clapper denying, to his knowledge, any surveillance of Trump during the election is cause to believe exactly the opposite.

Because he is a liar

meanwhile, in july the steele dossier predicted a 19% sale of rosneft in return for lifted sanctions, which promptly actually happened in december, to an unknown buyer. carter page, JD gordon, michael flynn, jeff sessions, jared kushner, sergey kislyak, GOP platform changes to abandon Ukraine, the insane pissbaby has taken every possible position except "maybe putin does things that are bad sometimes". false flags to a man prolly

uhhh no one's claiming that a single person bought a 19% stock in rosneft? the guy is still running the trump organization for christ's sake. do you think that these transactions are made between two individuals???


SickZip posted:

it was written in july (eg. here) and revealed to the general public later. either way it's still months before december and predicting not only the sale but the amount. meanwhile all these people in the trump admin keep going "oh uh I guess we did talk to the russians a lot," and also the russians have repeatedly said "yeah we were talking with those dudes". so I honestly don't know how else this is supposed to be read.

you know what else is relative? goin down to the local russian bank and picking up a nice 19% stake in rosneft. that's definitely a thing billionaires do in a lump sum out of their own pocket, they're just like me going down to the corner store to pick up some milk

it's dumb regardless because it unfairly makes some states way more important than others

like a vote in CA is worth like 1/4th a vote in a "swing" state just because of EC which is monumentally stupid.

Well, there's two different things going on. There's the relative voting weight, which isn't really about swing states, but about size. And then there's the fact that by going winner-take-all within each state, it does make voting virtually valueless within any state that isn't close.

You could theoretically resolve the latter issue without getting rid of the electoral college altogether, if the electoral votes were split proportionately to the popular vote within the state.

Trump is at this moment Ina quantum superposition of being hosed and not hosed.

Observing him will cause him to become locked in a single state, however the label on the box is worn and is too close to the box for his superposition of getting hosed and not getting hosed, so no one is willing to take the risk.
