I like all the noncommittal language in that slack. The editor who published it says "Should be okay", and then a few days later they fire the guy who broke the story anyways. Why bother with the pretense?

The fired guy seems to bear some of the least responsibility; he asks other people and they tell him it's okay!

He bears responsibility because he made people higher than him look foolish.

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
God drat if that's all the scrutiny required for such a major claim what the gently caress kinda scrutiny is applied for anything else?

if this is the level of scrutiny that goes into a reporting that has article 5 implications, really puts into perspective what probably happens for everything else

"hey all im posting this article about how russians regularly feast on live babies. my source is twitter poster hailbandera69"

So their source was a guy who was vetted by one Ross Nixon

But the specific tip from that source, at the time, hadn't been checked by Ross

But Jim made it sound like it was, though he did ask his leadership, since he was at a doctor's appointment at the time

But they approved it anyway

And then Jim is the one that gets fired

Lol

Ukraine broke his brain because when faced with murderous liberals, communists, anarchists, monarchists and nazis on one side, and murderous liberals, nazis, and anarchists on the other, his "both sides are stupid" o-meter detonated. When confused, return to good old fashioned western chauvinism.


what im saying is im not surprised an anarchist ex troop can't get his head around something that can't be easily explained using a homely and sensible analogy.

My priest went into condemning the Russian Orthodox Church in his sermon this week. Said the Patriarch was at Putin’s right hand, asked that we pray the Pope intercedes.

This Ukraine thing is getting very weird and they’re appealing very hard to Canadian Catholics on the basis of Ukrainians (read: Galicians) being Catholics and the Russians Orthodox.

Even CBC has been like: Well it’s the Russian Orthodox Church, can we trust them to be impartial? Are they really a “church” deserving protection or agents of Russian Imperialism?

I have never seen anything like this, barring maybe how the media covered US forces targeting mosques in 2002-04.

still posting on Telegram. it's mostly translations of Russian language posts and news.

this is the latest original content I see

I've been knowing and talking about ISIS terrorists fighting on the side of the ukrop nazis since 2016. They were in Avdeevka and Opitnoye when I was fighting against them in Spartak and on the Avdeevka Front. Basically, they've been here all along.

The Russian Patriarch's in schism with the Ecumenical Patriarch, so Bartholemew gets the first match actually.
