The sad thing about Trump’s worst stuff is that it was a “nothing matters” issue before nothing mattered, and so it is already gone in the memory hole and will all have to be rediscovered in the context of him being president before anyone acts like it is a part of all this. And of course it was all still true while everyone teased him for being dumb and orange and an unhealthy eater...

There's a decent amount of people who think that while they're sensational, that there's an underlying core of truth to what they run.

Also plastering big lies everywhere legitimately influences thinking.

That's not what it's for. It operates at a loss and serves as a propaganda outlet for rich and connected people.

...which is exactly what it stands accused of doing.

The thing is it works similarly to advertising. Like pepsi ads aren't there to make you go buy pepsi, but when you're at the store (or voting booth) you're still influenced by having seen that a bunch.

i think it was less nothing matters and more no one really fully knew, its kinda like the bill Cosby stuff, some people knew or suspected, but because he was a paragon of virtue, no one cared. trumps sorta the same way, everyone knew he was corrupt or worse monster, but to most people. he was just a dumb rear end in a top hat who was the weird eccentric "billionaire".

I had a thought last night about Kavanaugh. I wouldn't be shocked to see him go against Trump or populist votes for.. say.. 3-5 years. Unless he is really dumb, he has to know that after Trump is gone there is going to have to be a lot of house cleaning. And he doesn't want to be on that list of "poo poo trump did that was crooked and needs to get reviewed and changed".

You know, if you consider Trump in like 2002, Cohen is a perfectly fine lawyer. While not smart (cuz you know, breaking the law and super shady) he was fine for real estate grifter Donald Trump. Then Trump goes to run for election, and poo poo gets way bigger and under fire from people who are way better investigators and immune to bully tactics and suddenly Cohen really isn't good enough anymore. Like he isn't nearly good enough to be going up against this level of investigation, but back when he got on board this situation wasn't even a pipe dream.

That appears to be modern British usage (at least according to Wikipedia), but historically cottage pie and shepherd's pie were synonyms regardless of the meat, and I'm not even sure the term cottage pie gets much usage in the US, though maybe it's regional and/or I'm having a brain fart.

This is just social engineering ransomware - I knew a few people who caught this in their spam filters. No different than the "we were watching through your webcam; pay us or we'll show you masturbating" ones people got a few weeks ago, only cops take a much dimmer view of this. Granted, they're not likely in the US, but I'm sure some copycat will be, and they're going to learn the hard way that this is a bad idea.
