Antti posted:a former Trump staffer has now accused Mr Pocket Constitution (Khizr Khan) of being in the Muslim Brotherhood. That wasn't a fake tweet right? If he was I'd give effectively zero shits. Most MB franchises, especially the ones in the US, are not exactly the boogeyman they're touted as, except insofar as they're not real big fans of Arab dictators. (Hamas and Sudan being the exceptions.)

FactsAreUseless posted:But it produced the best debate you'll ever see. One of the candidates was a pro-LGBT leather-wearing biker libertarian. Governor Otter had the biggest poo poo-eating grin after the debate while his real opponent looked like he wanted to express his Second Amendment rights to the entire auditorium. Kudos to whichever Otter staffer watched Alpha House.

Sword of Chomsky posted:I believe she even says in her lengthy post that she is in no way a professional or qualified to diagnose someone, but given her experience she laid out a convincing argument. This - take her thoughts on many topics with a serving of salt, but she also produces interesting and useful insights, especially the closer the topic gets to her own lived experience. And apparently she does have some personal familiarity with narcissists, so while the most pessimistic elements may be a bit overboard, it's a handy visualization of how and why narcissists narcissize.

Personally I think he handled the actual leak and classified materials quite correctly and the rest is dumb but understandable and not as big a deal. Maybe he could plead to something reasonable related to being a Russian patsy in his post-leak life if the US allowed it, which it won't.

Dr. Red Ranger posted:What was the "is" argument anyway? I was a child when that all went down. If you're asking what I'm thinking you're asking (about the Bill Clinton - Monica Lewinsky thing), Bill Clinton, being a good lawyer who hired lots of better lawyers, dragged the definition of sexual contact and a zillion other issues (including the past versus present tense ) into a morass of technicalities, most importantly on whether receiving oral sex constituted "having sexual relations" (with that woman) - both teams of lawyers had previously come to the agreement that for the purposes of this case, it did not. Among other things, as I recall, he also testified that he "is not in a sexual relationship with Ms Lewinsky", which was probably true at the time of his statement. Nothing he said at any time while under oath was proven to be A) a willful lie that was B) material to the case. Sometimes through technicalities, sometimes because it was a plausible misremembering (or he-said she-said with no corroboration), etc.

Goatman Sacks posted:here's something I've always wondered that the media never seems to ask - what was Obama exactly supposed to do with the status of forces agreement? Maliki didn't want us there. He would never have signed it. Were we supposed to just stay, against the wishes of the elected government? The argument I've heard is that "Maliki actually wanted us to stay, he / nefarious elements of his administration were just playing hardball with unserious demands like trying US soldiers in Iraqi courts to get more concessions". It's not completely implausible if you're someone who assumes that Obama's diplomacy is a limp-wristed incompetent failure on all counts everywhere.

Fun fact: Sri Lanka's (tiny, now very sad and/or grudgingly pro-autonomy) Tamil-independence lobby in the US consists of basically two groups: the folks you describe, and actual Sri Lankan expats who are mostly in jail for an insider trading scheme. I don't actually know of any offhand who got a smackdown for too blatantly supporting the Tigers. Those guys mostly reside in southern India.

Donkwich posted:Does America whitewash its history more than other countries, on average? We got to read some of A People's History of the United States in high school, but I know that schools in other parts of the US teach about how great slavery was for the slaves, and I'm wondering about how that compares with the rest of the world. Glorious Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was built on the backs of millions of expendable Ukrainians and Belarussians. If they weren't grateful for the honor then they deserved what they and the grateful ones alike got.  That particular reason for the PLC being mildly awful wasn't taught a lot to my limited sample of Polish nerdfriends, at least.
