look, i understand if people want to defend amber braun, but when people do so in a way that ignores WHY people are criticizing her in the first place, i start to get a tad suspicious :thunk:

my beef has always solely been with the weirdo purity freaks who call her "crypto fash" or devote the majority of their posting to anti amber screeds. i fully admit she has some dumb takes, but so does everyone goddamn else so i don't really care because even her bad takes aren't deal breakers

The people who do this, well, don't much care for women in other contexts, either. :ssh:

you're really weird and like half of your posts in this thread are about her and make sure to mention indiana and cocaine. for someone who professes not to listen to any political podcasts or not to care about amber you post about her an awful lot.

as i said before, she makes the correct type of dork mad.

not gonna check but i think i've made, like, two posts about it. and i listen to political podcasts knowing full well they give people brain disease, myself included. that's why i post in here but also why i said to someone asking for recommendations "don't" much like the guy who warns people about the haunted house in movies

i would like to state for the record that i only began my amber bashing after the taki mag interview, and prior to that, only knew her as the girl chapo.

I can't tell if she just does hot takes to promote her podcast or if she's really that contrarian.

I will not listen to find out, also it's probably both.

quote:

In June 1976 Gravel was the focus of a federal investigation into allegations that he was involved in a sex-for-vote arrangement. Congressional staff clerk Elizabeth Ray (who had already been involved in a sex scandal that led to the downfall of Representative Wayne Hays) said that in August 1972 she had sex with Gravel aboard a houseboat on the Potomac River, under the instruction of Representative Kenneth J. Gray, her boss at the time.[114] Gray allegedly wanted to secure Gravel's support for further funding for construction of the National Visitor Center in Washington, a troubled project that was under the jurisdiction of subcommittees that both members chaired.[115][116] Another Congressional staffer said she witnessed the boat encounter, but Gravel said at the time that he had never met either of the women.[114][117] Gravel and Gray strongly denied that they had made any arrangement regarding legislation,[114] and neither was ever charged with any wrongdoing.[118] Decades later Gravel wrote that he had indeed had sex with Ray, but had not changed any votes because of it.[119]

Around May 1951, Gravel saw that he was about to be drafted and instead enlisted in the U.S. Army for a three-year term so that he could get into the Counterintelligence Corps.[17] After basic training and counterintelligence school at Fort Holabird in Maryland and in South Carolina, he went to Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia.[17] While he expected to be sent off to the Korean War when he graduated as a second lieutenant in early 1952, he was instead assigned to Stuttgart, West Germany, as a Special Adjutant in the Army's Communications Intelligence Service.[17] There he had an adventurous time moving around the country, conducting surveillance operations on civilians, and paying off spies.[17] After about a year he transferred to Orléans, France, where his French language abilities (if not his Quebecois accent) allowed him to infiltrate French communist rallies.[17] He worked as a Special Agent in the Counterintelligence Corps until 1954,[7] eventually becoming a first lieutenant.[18]
