Consistently Tedious!
That the Greitens situation started because the victim's exhusband recorded a conversation between the two of them without her knowledge and released it over her objections is still immensely gross to me. I know that once it became public she cooperated and supported publication of the report, but still don't know how to square the vileness of this chain of events with the fact that Greitens would still hold interpersonal and political power over others were it not for her ex's actions.

Tensions have between the US and Russia have been rising for quite a while. It's disturbing to see liberals calling for Trump to enforce sanctions which will cause a lot of misery in Russia while not undermining Putin's power in any way.

I get that there's the immediate visceral reaction to sanctions thanks to ghouls like Albright ("Worth It"), but it's worth noting these are markedly different in nature, target, effect, and in scope than the ones leveled against, say, Cuba or Iraq.

Also love the framing that tensions rose naturally, or egged on by liberals, as opposed to as a thoroughly predictable result of Crimea, NotPetya, election fuckery and a series of other actions.

As to the earlier question - a more likely and desirable outcome than war is a thorough examination of and report on electoral mischief techniques, giving a roadmap to other nations for how to harden their elections against bad foreign governments (including, say, Mossad as well as the US and other five eyes intelligence agencies).

Propaganda isn't new my friend. People are always primed for it. Hence that it isn't at the feet of the right wing, but everyone. Russia just saw a ripe opportunity for division and discord, and that's on us for allowing it to happen. We can still do our best to enumerate what they did and how they did it, but falling for it is our shame to bear.

Pretty much this. The right wing and it’s propaganda wing saw a hostile foreign nation spreading misinformation and like true patriots, as they often claim they are, said “Let us help!” and assisted in undermining our nation because they saw the possibility of money and power

It’s surprisingly hard to find random conservative twitter accounts that don’t seem like bots. There’s a few high profile turds that are probably actual Americans, but the overwhelming majority of CHUDs commenting on political news are obvious bot accounts. They all have a few thousand followers and retweet the same small group of screeching morons.

Like these assholes:

Yeah, her ex in the story is really gross, too - her slept with five women while they were separated and basically says "this is your fault for wanting the separation" rather than something where he's responsible for who he sleeps with. He also would go with her to the gym, but not exercise, just make sure that nobody was checking her out. Scumbag.

loving around with charities and assaulting women apparently doesn't affect the loving President, why should it suddenly affect him?

I suppose that's his logic, and it's hard to see where it's entirely wrong.

Okay, I keep seeing this and I have to ask: is there some specific reason that everyone refers to hardcore Trump supporters as "chuds"?

It's a great word and it definitely feels appropriate, but I can never tell if it actually has any real origin or if everyone just kind of settled on it.
