It's amazing how thoroughly they're owning themselves trying to throw shade on a guy that isn't even the Dem nominee yet. Looking forward to Trump's brainworms forcing him to continue to poo poo-talk Biden months after he loses the primary.

Yes he's bought into an insane conspiracy theory that Russia didn't hack the DNC in 2016, it actually originated in Ukraine and somehow there are buttery emails on servers in Ukraine

He refuses to accept that Russia interfered on his behalf in 2016 and he's calling up world leaders asking them to help advance conspiracy theories that blame Ukraine, the Deep State, Clintons, Bidens, etc

He probably could have made hay out of it for the entire election pretty effectively if Biden got the nom, his only mistake was using the power of the presidency to try and make it real.

Ever since Obama killed his fledging campaign in 2012 by showing the long-form birth certificate, Trump has had an enormous chip on his shoulder. Because deep down he knows Obama would have humiliated him in an election, and that is likely true even today.

It’s a mix of his craving for approval and racism. Fred Trump casts a long shadow.

The ICIG went to the House yesterday with a weird packet of propaganda that probably came from the WH to State. Apparently it contained a pile of stuff intended to make the former Ambassador look bad.

It's a whole mess that a few reporters are unraveling still. Trump just kind of offhandedly confirmed he fired her because he heard bad things about her, and he likely had Guiliani/etc put together parts of that packet for this purpose.

Blue Footed Booby posted:

More detail for those who didn't click through: Google is collecting faces to use to train their neural networks. Facial recognition software has historically had trouble with people of color. Google wants to avoid that ahead of the release of the Pixel 4, which lacks a fingerprint reader, instead pushing the user to use face unlock. The volunteers collecting faces are then targeting homeless people because they think it'll minimize the chances of getting told to gently caress off. There is no indication this involves actually matching faces to identities, tracking people's movement, or anything else besides an anonymous headshot.

Facial recognition should still be regulated.

Disabling a feature for the sake of your own efforts to monopolize a technology that could be used against other humans infuriates me. Google was a mistake.

basically the file shows the link between Rudy/trump's other private lawyers and Pompeo, with them sending Pompeo dirt to try to justify the dismissal of our ambassador to Ukraine

It's important to remember that he clearly does not understand what he's doing wrong. It's not even occurring to him that he's abusing his power or that there's anything inappropriate at all about telling foreign powers to investigate his political opponent. He doesn't get it. That's why he released the transcript. That's why he does poo poo like this.

He is wildly loving stupid. He doesn't understand how anything around him actually works.

He still thinks that it's the threatening to pull funding that's illegal. Not the "asking them at all in the first place" that's illegal.

Why is it that PoC are always the ones expected to bridge the gap, forgive, and be the bigger person? Isn't this just extended racism? White people aren't expected to reach out and say 'whoops sorry for the racism' and the ones that do are called out for being SJW's or something.

Counterpoint is that BECAUSE Trump is so drat stupid, he's going to bring down alot of people with him with the fact that he had a bunch of (slightly) smarter trying to cover up for him to save their own assess too.

I don't understand. I don't understand how they could look their son's/brother's murderer in the eye, especially given the circumstances under which she killed him, and forgive her.

I guess their reasons are their own and I'm not qualified to make the judgment for them, but I know I would NEVER have forgiven that woman for what she did.
