Yeah it started to get that way a little by nature of the discussion so let's change the subject:

House oversight committee finally voted to hold Barr and Ross in contempt. Seems like this inevitably heads to a criminal contempt process since the GOP side of the aisle doesn't think the White House needs to be accountable to congress at all if they're of different parties. Just a normal day in the United States where the literal head of the justice department is held in contempt of congress and staring down the barrel of a criminal process.

They absolutely believe the White House is accountable to Congress if Congress is Republicans and the White House is Democrats.

as many religions have the Problem of Evil, all forms of socialism have had the Problem of the CIA: a socialist or communist organization that does not have a solution for "the CIA/local analogue is going to try to violently overthrow you" is promptly and violently overthrown.

so, how do you manage to preserve the goal of equality while still having someone in charge of keeping the American government from shotgunning key figures in the chest while they sleep in a "justifiable homicide".

vanguardism offers a solution that has, historically, beaten "do nothing and trust that nobody's going to try that on you" and that strategy alone: 'what if we made a new ruling class with blackjacks, and gulags'

which ends up recapitulating an awful lot of the problems of the capitalist system in a hurry, at the cost of a couple more structurally necessary midnight shotgunnings.

That's giving them way too much credit by assuming they have or would be consistent about this when they have the House and Democrats have the presidency. Benghazi, anyone?

They think Republicans should never be held accountable by Democrats, ever, under any circumstances.

He literally asked a foreign power to commit a crime on national primetime TV with tens of millions of viewers last time, and they did, and nothing came of it.

For as often as people scream about Trump and republicans gaslighting me, I never feel gaslit. I get what they're doing. I feel more gaslighted by people like Skex who are telling me Obama was a secret supporter of gay people until he... didn't do anything? The Supreme Court made gay marriage legal. Obama didn't do a goddamn thing except take credit for it when it was the new normal. Now Biden is doing everything except up to screaming "gently caress you!" to leftists and we're supposed to support him because... why?

I don't think it would actually would be, unless they got the intelligence without committing any crimes. Although lol at Donald Trump paying fair market price for something.

Catfished By Jacob Wohl

How is this kid not in jail yet

edit: I should say it is basically the story of how Wohl got that woman to lie about the Mueller rape accusation.

This is semi-proclick in which Jacob Wohl:
  • pretended to be a Mossad trained private investigator
  • convinces a lady to pawn her car to hire him to investigate a talent agent who ripped her off
  • sends naked selfies to his "client" after telling her the case was too expensive to continue investigating even though that's how private investigators make money
  • this lady falls in love with Jacob in his PI persona and discloses a sexual assault to him
  • he then convinces her to accuse Robert Mueller of rape, as a way to get back at the person who assaulted her in the past
  • she eventually sees through this elaborate ruse when, while pretending to take a nap on a flight to accuse Mueller of rape, catches Jacob looking at hot chicks in Halloween costumes on Instagram, blowing his Mossad "I don't use social media" lie out of the water

And that's like 1/3 of the story. It's really very good if you have even a passing interest in laughing at Jacob Wohl, who manages to escape prosecution better than anyone I've ever read about.
