So is the name of the translator gonna be the 8th that Adam Goldman is going to reveal, or was he included in the 6 we previously heard about though not identified?

Last i heard on CNN and MSNBC they hadn't updated the count to 8.

glowing-fish posted:

There are so many cliches in American politics, like "Fly Over States" and "Red States", where people from places like Connecticut just lump West Virginia and Utah together, that I wondered what would happen if I just did the opposite.

People who had been repeating stereotypes and cliches for a decade about how Indiana and Arizona are basically the same were shocked by the geographic ignorance of someone saying that Pennsylvania and New York were a lot alike.

Most of the Republican Party's power base is in suburban/exurban areas. People assume that places like Montana look like Appalachia, when there are several demographic ways that that is the opposite of true.

Someone who has never seen a frontier area, someone who has never seen a wilderness area, someone who has never been in a place where it is a day's drive to a metropolitan area, can't understand what places like that are. They just file them under "West Virginia", even though parts of West Virginia are actually part of the Washington, DC Metro.

I am just reversing decades of stereotypes, being more accurate about it, and it drives people crazy.

M&Ms are great though.

Are we actually sure it'll stop at just 8?

Yesterday it was pretty damning when there were like 4 people, we started making jokes about the room being crowded when it was 6, now there was 8...

I have no idea and am similarly confused. gently caress, maybe I was at this meeting. Maybe you were. Maybe we all were as a distraction while the real poo poo was going down outside. There's just no way to know.

I think people might be double counting Akhmetshin Rinat, the Russian lobbyist/provocateur guy?

So far we have:

Trump Jr.
Kushner
Manafort
Rob Goldstone
Russian lawyer with ties to Kremlin (Veselnitskaya)
Former Russian counterintelligence officer and current Russia lobbyist Akhmetshin Rinat
Unnamed Translator
?mystery #8?

also the reporting has been that there are *at least* 8, so could be more

Its taken as a basic fact in the states (even by democrats / centrists) that the Soviet Union was brought down by eternal God Emperor Reagan. That's going to be hard to change.
