when i was younger i hoped that the internet and greater levels of interconnectivity would allow us to cross cultural lines and come to a deeper understanding of our fellow humans, allowing for a more open and accepting society

instead, it has had quite the opposite effect, which in retrospect was predictable and i am a gigantic fuckin moron for not expecting the worst from humanity

it's actually really cool and great that oppressed groups have been able to use the internet to connect across diasporas and small town trans people can be a part of bigger communities. bad people can do that too but if you only focus on the negative then you're going to have a really awful life and then you're going to die.

Trust is crucial; the resignation was warranted.

That said, the sanctions were largely bogus, and were applied not just to punish Russia for spying on the U.S. (both countries clearly spy on each other), but to substantiate the Democratic Party’s sore-loser conspiracy theory that Russia was responsible for electing Donald Trump.

Both countries spy. Both countries are killers. No big deal.

He'll be in the mid-thirties for approval by the end of the week and probably the twenties in March. Trump is such a bad president that I wouldn't be surprised if he goes down as being impeached by his own party.

So? There have been so many lies to everyone about anything I seriously don't know what to make of it anymore. My sense of what matters and what doesn't went out the window like eight months ago and never returned.

I think at the point that the CIA and NSA started leaking to reporters that they had recordings of Flynn that broke through the "nothing matters" barrier.

I'm watching All The President's Men and let me tell you movies in the 70s sure were weird. Like there were a handful of movies that decade that are all-time greats, but it seemed like Americans were still figuring out how cameras worked.

It's a really good newspaper procedural but they tried to Film School it up in ways that were super unnecessary. Spotlight was really great too and they didn't try to art nouveau the camera at every opportunity.

Um, that's exactly the thing: it's a movie where they are on phone calls, taking notes, in meetings with editors, and interviewing people and Willis, at the height of his Godfather powers, makes it visually dynamic because somehow he realizes that he's working in a visual medium.

Lots of folks in the Trump nite crew super salty about me mildly criticizing a movie I also agreed was great.

Nah, just get belly laughs when somebody offers up some critique like they know what they are talking about and slapdashes some fancy term like art nouveau into it to affect knowledge about the topic. Especially when it's like "Americans, like the guy who lensed Godfather, were just figuring out how cameras work." Go back to whatever it is you do where you know things.

Russia is now talking poo poo about how weak Trump is.

quote:

“To force the resignation of the national security adviser for contacts with the Russian ambassador (normal diplomatic practice) is not even paranoia, but something immeasurably worse,” he wrote. “Either Trump has failed to gain his desired independence and is being cornered consistently (and not without success), or Russophobia has infected even the new administration, from top to bottom.”

This is Russia saying "End those sanctions or piss tape, Donny." He's hosed.

Jose posted:

can trump EO the sanctions or would that require congress?

I think Obama's additional sanctions were in an EO so I would imagine, though I'm not sure, that Trump could EO them away but there's no way that is happening at this point. Republicans have been pretty firm about keeping the sanctions and with this Flynn stuff it's just too toxic for Trump to touch.

But, you never know with that insane gently caress. Either way, this is Donny and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad 24 Days.

On Tuesday morning, Mr. Flynn wrote on Twitter: “While I accept full responsibility for my actions, I feel it is unfair that I have been made the sole scapegoat for what happened. But if a scapegoat is what’s needed for this Administration to continue to take this great nation forward, I am proud to do my duty.”

Vladimir Putin posted:

How is it remotely pissible that Flynn acted alone and without approval from Trump? Does anybody believe that he decided to call up the Russian ambassador and discuss the sanctions without Trump's approval? So Flynn was cutting side deals with the Russian government by himself?

The only plausibility is that Trump is dumb and doesn't know what's going on at any given moment and has no real part in these plans.
