I have a friend that works for the Department of Denfense in one of the CENTCOM countries. They just finished vacation and today is their first day back. I bet it's crisis mode right now.

You know, it's fascinating to watch the Trumps' total inability to hide all their crimin' race as hard as it can with the desire of the GOP to ignore any and all crimin'.

I'm sure the only reason he turned on this leaker is because she wouldn't move to Russia.

It was extremely clear to everyone he was not saying the leaks were immoral but were literally illegal in the US, and was surprised that the beltway establishment was not cracking down harder on them as a result. This was very obvious, and I believe he also clarified, which goes back to my original point about willful misinterpretation. e: Intercept is a net positive force, unless your approach to left politics is you get mad about social issues and the ugly aesthetics of inequality but are otherwise pretty attached to the order of things, and therefore find them vaguely threatening maybe? I can't quite wrap my mind around the hate for them, still </derail> fart barterer fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Jun 6, 2017 |

You know how Trump calling his opponent "Crooked Hillary" was surprisingly effective even if it's on the same level as a 3rd grade school yard insult. Leaky Trump works on so many different levels.

https://twitter.com/avbelow/status/872060039871303680 Quite a few WWDC scholarship winners have had their previously approved visas pulled just before departing their home country. This seems non-random and petty.

Like most of wikileaks' twitter feed in the last day was making GBS threads on them over revealing sources. I see much of this thread basically agrees with Louise Mensch and John Schindler about the Intercept being a Russian front but they're not exactly overtly allied with Assange these days.

Boon posted:What are you talking about man? It's not a bad concept. It's just not inherently a good concept either. It all depends how it's used. Since you bring up copyright, sure, same thing. Copyright is generally a good idea but is subject to abuses too. Classification is the same way. It's not a *bad* idea but it's not a holy blessing either. I mean, hell, COINTELPRO was classified.

I'm saying the only thing stopping them from being caught hilariously easily for all the crimes they don't even bother to cover up is that the GOP is desperately, desperately trying to pretend they don't exist. And that meanwhile the Trumps (both the sons and father) are very happy to get out on TV and go 'Boy howdy, look at all this crime we do.'

Just to clarify, Trump is actively encouraging Saudi aggression towards Qatar, a US ally and home to a US airbase. Over Twitter. And with no formal statement on the situation by the White House. This is insane, right?

That seems pretty dangerous to me, though I still think it's the right move at the moment. It's certainly fascinating. It seems your issue with Greenwald is that his phrasing isn't just straight Democrat propaganda, which would be pretty silly for an independent journalist anyway, right? I might criticize a Trump surrogate for these slights but it just seems reasonable, especially assuming everyone knows his principles.
