Especially given the corruption of his own boss, Jeff Sessions, who as a part of this investigation is under investigation. You don't really think that anyone believed he'd truly recuse himself, do you? Edit: GOD my hate boner is HUGE right now.  I cannot wait for the next few days/weeks. Not because I think anything will happen, but because I want to see what happens when NOTHING happens. If I'm proven wrong and poo poo does happen? All the better!

Don't give me this, please, don't give me this. I want this poo poo aired out to the entire world to see. I want the entire country to see and know what they have begotten. And from there, I want political change in both parties. No, I have absolutely ZERO expectation or hope of this happening. But it's what should happen.

M_Gargantua posted:I really want a brief case of Orange-pox to be democracy's immunization against the real bad stuff. Absolutely. The entire country needs to see what the Republican Party has wrought, and what we ourselves have wrought through lovely political tactics. Not to start a whole, "This is why Hillary lost," thing, but... it wasn't just the selling out of our country to Russia. We have ignored a huge segment of our population that, for one reason or another, he spoke to. You can't just campaign in certain areas and expect a win. You have to speak to the whole goddamn country and tell them - and do - things for them that help them. Messaging - it's also why the ACA was raged against. Not just because it was a Black Democrat, but people seriously thought the ACA and Obamacare were different things. As stupid as those people may be, those people also vote. On top of that, people need to take what happens from here, and make their politicians pay for it. The ones who are defending this, as obvious as this is as a Big Deal, and trying to downplay it... they need to pay. Again, I expect little of this to come to pass... But it goddamn well should.

Handsome Ralph posted:Yeah, that Claude Taylor dude is now in the Louise Mensch zone. Pretty sure no other search warrants were executed today, and the one that did get executed might have been about something else entirely. So that whole tweet chain about the FBI and U.S. Marshals getting ready to roll out is bullshit, because I'm pretty sure they would have rolled out by now. Don't particularly care, because my hate boner is already engorged and massive after the rest of today. That raid does a LOT, and means a lot when it comes to the extent of this. It implicates a whole ton of other people - not just those that we have been suspecting here for a long time. Think back to Nunez and his whole spiel about him having information on trump being surveilled, and then look at this raid.

For your normal, every day Joe, what would you recommend doing to prevent this sort of thing happening to them? Beyond the standard, "Don't click funny links in weird emails, don't visit weird websites, etc"?

Yeah, I have Chrome with uBlock Origin and use PIA when I can (if I'm honest, sometimes it slows my internet down.... and I'm lazy and impatient). Always use PIA when at work, however. The emails/weird websites thing, while yeah, common sense, is something I always avoid, and with gmail I don't have to worry about as much. I will definitely be checking on the router settings, however, as that does sound handy and something I couldn't confirm offhand one way or another. Thank you!

This whole thing is fishy as gently caress. Phone posting, so no transcript, but will when I get to my computer. If I remember right, this is the investigation that Preet Bhara (sp?) was working on- Russian money laundering on US soil- when he was fired. Settled for $3M (the cost of trying the case) when they were looking for $20M in damages, no wrong doing admitted by anyone, and the guy in Russia who discovered it wakes up dead in prison. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/russia/idUSKBN18904I welp posted:A Russian-owned group of companies has agreed to pay nearly $6 million to settle U.S. civil allegations that the firms laundered proceeds of a $230 million tax fraud, ending a politically charged case days before it was set to go to trial. Some big notes - They agreed to settle AFTER the judge had allowed the US prosecutors to bring evidence from Russia into the case. The case was discovered in Russia, which means the US likely would have an overwhelming amount of evidence, in addition to what they already had. However, the man who discovered all the issues IN Russia, was summarily arrested for tax fraud, jailed, and likely beaten to death. Preet Bharara, the US Attorney fired by Trump, was the one leading this case initially. Shortly after he's fired, the US attorney agrees to a settlement that is more or less the cost of trying the case. Not even going after any assets, as was initially planned. And the guy who initially noticed the wrong doing suddenly winds up dead in prison. Human rights council says he was beaten to death... Russian officials say it was just heart failure. Whoops! I went back and confirmed, and yes, this is the same case that Preet was working at the time of his firing. This is fishy as gently caress all over the place. windshipper fucked around with this message at 19:10 on May 14, 2017 |

Except that never hurt our "relationship" with Israel, and this hurts our relationship with so many more countries than Israel.

Laranzu posted:Would have loved a few lines about exactly how badly the administration hosed itself by trying to throw Rosenstein (the one dude in the justice department who could hurt them especially bad since the elf recused) under the bus, and how Mueller is one dude they don't want around. Oh definitely. But they're right in that there was so much to cover, it would take the whole show to cover it, even at the barest glance, and they did what they could. It's been a massive week, and I think they did a decent job given what they had, and that to most people they have to explain why it's important. Anyways... still kinda wanna see that TSA piece because from what I know it's a shithole and needs massive reforms - but it's costing a lot for a lot of security theater.

Wasabi the J posted:He's bombing his own goddamn cities because of like, a handful of whacks. I should clarify this - I condemn Duterte and his very existence, and pretty much everything he has done in his presidency. I don't condemn him for calling for martial law. I condemn him bombing his own cities, I condemn the death squads, I condemn extrajudicial executions, etc... Duterte absolutely deserves condemnation. But declaring martial law under this as a reason - posted:Duterte declared martial rule for 60 days in the entire southern Mindanao region, the restive third of the Philippine archipelago, Tuesday evening to try to crush Muslim extremists who have aligned themselves with the Islamic State group and occupied a hospital, jail and other buildings and battled troops in an audacious attack in Marawi City. I'm not gonna argue. Bombing the whole cities, well, that's another issue. Anyways, I think we can both agree that an extrajudicial execution squad hitting him isn't necessarily the worst thing for the Philippines.

Mike-o posted:Maine chat: my best friend and army buddy is from Maine. I'd love to move there to be able to hang out with him all the time. Just chill out doing Dad things together, hunting fishing shooting guns and drinking beer. Like no poo poo just going to his place makes me feel calm from all my sadbrains bullshit. Next time I'm out there I'm gonna twist his arm to go camping in the Allagash wilderness and go hike Mt Katahdin. Trying to figure out what I should take him to do when him and his wife come visit me in Washington this summer. Most definitely Rainier and St Helens. Definitely an easier Hike than Rainier but Oyster Dome leaves you at the end, sitting on a loving high cliff, eating lunch, and more than once when I've been there, had Hawks and Eagles circling not even 100 feet away, just either straight out from me or just below me. Great view as well. Or try Mt. Pilchuck with them, but do that during a week day. Weekends Pilchuck is stupid busy. Both are easier hikes, but both do payoff huge with great views.

We made Blueberry cobbler when we got home with those wild blueberries. For the record, both of these are hikes that are well north of Seattle. If you hit up Oyster Dome, though, go to Boomer's afterwards for great burgers and hard ice cream milkshakes. Seriously, those milkshakes are the poo poo. It's maybe half an hour north of Oyster Dome's trailhead. So good. windshipper fucked around with this message at 01:16 on May 25, 2017 |
