knox_harrington posted:Tapes, you say? "A former prosecutor who previously worked with Robert Mueller at the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C. suggested...." This is literally fake news. There's nothing to this story other than some non-involved person had an opinion, went on TV and said their guess, and a reporter filled the rest of the article with fluff that isn't news.

Yep. Can we not post Newsweek stuff in this thread? They're at the level of Weekly World News at this point.

It is pretty infantalizing to refer to a grown woman who is very accomplished as cute. Like, she is quickly becoming a hero of mine as well, but I think we should stay away from cute. I don't think you meant it in a creep way though. Word choices are important though

I guess I just didn't see it since I'm a woman who is around her age and I just want to share secrets and have slumber parties with her. If she can be accomplished and cute, then maybe I could be that too.

If I, as a 300 lb sad man called her cute it would be gross. She's powerful, smart, etc. Although, that said, while it's much less creepy given your demographics, it's still a bit wierd.

You can have positive feelings about people without idealizing anyone. Like yeah don't idealize people, but feel free to feel whatever positive poo poo you happen to feel for people. Politicians who make you feel human feelings because they actually shared a similar experience to you are 100% worth feeling good aboutHellblazer187 posted:Hey, yeah, I was assuming this was coming from a neck beardy place.

AriadneThread posted:don't idolize people, even if they are as amazing as aoc has so far been, it's always a mistake This honestly. As much as its great that shes a real progessive with a backbone that actually connects with her constituents the outright idolization of her is starting to get more than a little weird and creepy. She's a serious politician, I feel like at the very least she should be treated as one and held to the same standards as any other house rep, not fawned over like Trumps base does with him. Obviously polar opposites in terms of politics but idolatry weirds me right out and ive never really seen it lead anywhere good in the realm of politics. Thankfully shes not going out seeking to build a cult of personality because i feel she could easily have one with minimal effort on her own.

so.. Burkman got shot over hiring someone to investigate Seth Rich, who people only cared about because supposedly he was the source of the DNC emails. But actually it was Russian hackers, and those hackers were working with Burkman's friends, Roger Stone and Jeremy Corsi. Some friends they are, not letting him in on the secret.

i think marcy makes some very good points, there's too many huge questions about this piece to take it at face value https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1069795717806473217 - how does manafort still pay a spokesman - who is releasing this information right now - why don't they tell us WHAT manafort was planning to do with assange i guess we'll know in a couple days whether this is manafort getting out in front of new charges from Muellers with a preemptive lie, but until then I'm going to assume it is
