Zamujasa posted:I hope that Trump and his merry band of morons depressing GOP turnout by calling every election a fraud continues to pay dividends like this. Just endless Works out well right up until it doesn't. I would rather not have the party of armed, hateful lunatics telling itself democracy is broken in the country. Their idea of repairing it probably conflicts with my idea of repairing it and, also, the continued existence of myself and those I love.

Brittney Griner was released apparently: https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/brittney-griner-release-russia-prisoner-swap-viktor-bout/ Is this Russia politely asking us to tell Ukraine to stop bombing things near Moscow?

a minor celebrity caught with about a gram of cannabis oil was traded for an international arms dealer named "merchant of death" so I don't see this as Russia doing anyone a favor except maybe the arms merchant, I guess

ASAPI posted:Is this Russia politely asking us to tell Ukraine to stop bombing things near Moscow? The exact answer is: who knows? Biden/sports world has wanted Griner back for a very long time and Russia wasn't listening. Possibly a war thing, possibly an American election thing, possibly a Russian-internal thing. Too bad Whelan didn't come back, but the family gets it and/or is still pissed: https://twitter.com/NickKalmanFN/status/1600847157216522240?t=feBE6HI0lrmX_jKRo0LuuQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/margbrennan/status/1600850180340944896?t=M4A2bGZQPop5vkOWo0hP8A&s=19 None of this is in the United States control, basically.

I missed the anarchy train  Unrelated, did you know that mutual aid is an anarchy reaction to the government being unable or unwilling to do anything? I wonder if there are others ways to directly act on problems.

I don’t know the guys career, but if he was known by the right senior people, and interviews like a motherfucker, it goes from extremely unlikely to really possible, quick. It’s all about your network.
