I'd agree if it wasn't so transparent that he's just trolling because he takes erotic pleasure in being ratio'd.

As a guy who loves super sweet cocktails and mixers, usually the best way to fend off MANLY DRINK MAN MEN like that is ask if it would be manlier to drink things I don't like purely to impress other men. The competing thoughts of "man drink" and "it's manly to do whatever the hell you want" throws them off.

Yeah, I've gone that route too. I've always been a fan of ports and sherries and it's like gently caress you I'll drink what I want.

I've never really enjoyed mix drinks all that much myself but I'm not going to judge people that do. It's really none of my business. You do you, I'll do me.

Aaaaaargh why do people think inviting fascists to debate is a good idea. It validates their ideology. It gives them power. It enables them. It makes you complicit in terrorist attacks like the synagogue shooting. You let them have a voice and they use that voice to empower their followers to come out of hiding and assemble. USA, Philippines, Brazil, all of this is because we gave them an equal voice. We're all a bunch if loving idiots and we deserve the proper hell we've created. Canada will be next on the fascist train if Ford is any indication of a political trend.

I may or may not post this response to my aunt defending Steve Bannon visiting Toronto to "debate". I also just want to give up and not deal with it because she's apparently Boogie level centrist now and might be completely hopeless.

That video was painful to watch. Can he not see his world is about to be crushed when the millstone of the FBI finally starts grinding?

A bit late, but, Bitcoin is a cult of capitalist inadequacy, like libertarianism. People who are doing great at being capitalists have no real need for it, though obviously there are exceptions. It's for people who believe in capitalism, but can't succeed despite believing they should, so it must be something outside capitalism that is the problem (usually BIG GOVERNMENT or "crony capitalism" or something). Bitcoin, in theory, allows you to escape that. It's like how seasteaders want to form a floating city to attempt to escape the literal bounds of the state.

My experience has been that people who try to prove something using what they consume are super duper ultra insecure.

I'M A MAN SO I CONSUME MAN THINGS LIKE RAW BEEF AND WHISKEY AND SAWDUST IF YOU DO NOT ENJOY THESE THINGS THEN YOU ARE NOT A MAN

So I guess it's manly to eat horribly, develop alcoholism, and die before 50 now?

I mean, whiskey is still just as alcoholic as all the poo poo in your fruity drinks. An Old Fashioned has as much alcohol as that strawberry daiquiri, and let's not even get started on the terror that is tiki drinks. I had a Zombie made to the same proof as the old 1950 recipe and it loving burned with how much overproof rum is in it. I had to stop drinking it because I was already 6 cocktails into the night before I got there and drinking more than half would have made me sick or caused me to black out.

With drinks like whiskey and cognac, it's more about the experience of drinking something that's got a really complex profile that you can learn how to identify. You do have to get used to drinking it because most people will absolutely hate straight liquor when they first try it, but there's a huge world of experience out there when you get past the initial shock of filling your mouth with something that's 40% alcohol.

I guess it was successful in that a lot of journalists showed up instead of covering actual thing that actually happened, but there's no pay day, he's not even going to be able to get a job as a fox news consultant or whatever (watch me be wrong when he gets an hour between the morning bullshit and the evening bullshit on Fox News).

Jacob Wohl’s Fake P.I. Firm Ghosted on Ex-Homeless Woman Looking For Her Stolen Truck

....

When she finally got on the phone with Wohl—who was then presenting himself as Cohen—he told her, “we can help you with. This is exactly what we do.” Adams wired him $1,200 and signed a retainer agreement, which is largely identical to publicly-available copies of contracts offered by more legitimate public investigation agencies.

Wohl signed it as Matthew Cohen, according to a copy of the agreement provided by Adams.

His decision to do so, even under an assumed name, could present additional legal problems. The Daily Beast described the scope of work in the agreement to Neil Harrison, a licensed private investigator in Washington and the president of the Washington Association of Legal Investigators, a professional organization representing the industry there. Harrison stressed that he is not a lawyer and could only offer a personal opinion. But, he said, “That's called an investigation and you're required, to the best of my knowledge, to obtain a P.I. license in the state of Washington to conduct any sort of investigation.”

He signed contracts under a fake name
He is not legally able to offer the services the contract was for
He failed to provide those services

It's technically not illegal to sign something with a false name, as long as you aren't doing it for fraudulent purposes (Like famous people using fake names at hotels, they still pay for the hotel room)

saying you're a PI without a license is a whole other barrel of fish. Oh and it's a state crime so President smooth brain can't pardon him.

It wouldn't surprise me if the whole point of this was to get chuds up in arms against Mueller and provide Trump cover to fire him. Imagine this happening, but taking a week to unravel instead of 5 minutes. It was never going to stick, but it just had to slide down the wall slowly.

Last week I would have said a President can't amend the Constitution via an Executive Order, but here we are with Trump threatening to do that very thing.

Chuds and White Supremacists* all think there's this silent army of supporters who will rise up at the right time and fight for their cause. So Mueller gets a 'credible' accusation, Democrats fall all over themselves trying to justify their hypocrisy, and Trump rides a groundswell of support into finally ending this witch hunt. Yes, of course it's a stupid loving idea; Jacob Wohl came up with it. But that's my theory and so far he's not disproving my hypotheses that he's an idiot.
