titanium posted:Isn't this extremely similar to the motivation behind the Sharon Tate murder? Make it look like black people did it to start the race war? It's not necessarily a false flag. Mentally ill people can switch ideologies in really sudden and surprising ways. The ideology is just a framework. Prester talks about switching from religious cultist to Ayn Rand atheist libertarian, for example. This guy might have just gotten kicked out of his roommate's right wing Nazi club and decided to Go Islamic in response.

empty whippet box posted:The thing is, it's always been incredibly obvious. I understand the desire to wait for concrete proof or whatever, but back when Trump randomly and for no reason started defending Russia during the debates, I immediately looked at my wife and said 'Um...I bet he's colluding with Russia to rig the campaign or something.' It only got more obvious that exactly that had happened as time went on and it hasn't stopped getting more obvious at any point. It only comes across as an insane conspiracy theory to some because they've been successfully reached with propaganda painting it that way. At no point has it ever been plausible to assert that nothing fishy happened with Russia - not ever. It was obvious something was going on from the moment the Republican party platform was inexplicably changed to remove support for Ukraine.

Spun Dog posted:Exactly, that was when my wife started yelling "What the gently caress? Yup exactly -- the Ukraine giveaway was the first clear "tell." That said, there's a big difference between that and what we got from Brennan today. There's "that looks shaky" vs "sworn testimony from an official in a position to know, making a clear statement"

empty whippet box posted:I'm feeling pretty optimistic about Montana and Georgia. If the dems win both seats, it might finally make the republicans start actually turning on trump to try to save themselves. There are few safe seats anywhere in that case, even if the elections were held before whatever retarded bullshit trump will fill the time between now and 2018 with. Don't be optimistic. It's way too early for that. I'm kindof expecting some last minute vote fuckery in both races.

Al Borland Corp. posted:They probably never thought for a second Trump would actually win, so they thought there was zero risk. Nobody investigates the loser. I think they were in the "should have known" category. McConnell and Ryan had enough evidence -- hell, us posting here -- had enough evidence pre-election to strongly suspect Trump had Russian ties. But if you don't WANT to believe it, you aren't going to, and they had every reason to not want to.

evilweasel posted:They were literally given the evidence by the Obama Administration and McConnell told Obama if he went public with it McConnell would claim he was trying to interfere in the election. Right, and Paul Ryan is on tape talking about how Trump's paid by the Russians. But if you're in denial you're in denial.

Jaxyon posted:It should not be ignored that charters actually have a decent following in minority communities with concerned parents who see it as a way for their children to actually have a chance at success in areas where the schools are terrible. They also work really well in Scandinavian countries, but they have very strict restrictions on religious proselytizing by schools that receive the funds, which we can't do. They aren't necessarily a bad idea in the abstract, they're just going to be implemented horribly by the Republicans because they're a stalking horse to defund public Ed generally.

The Hyperion books by Dan Simmons are great SF until the last book turns into "install space Jesus, problem solved." The Gene Wolfe Book of the New Sun books are arguably space catholicism but they're so convoluted that he literally had to write a whole extra book to make any sense of the first four.

Yeah they will, especially if video comes out, definitely if he's charged with a crime. Otherwise they're all tarred with the Party of Assault brush, and they get enough of that already from Trump. This guy isn't Trump so they have no reason to defend him. He'll step down, new election, over again.

Crazycryodude posted:The more I watch that Pope-slap the more real I think it is. The robe on the close-up Pope looks exactly the same, and the table with the statue on it is behind them in both shots. It's well done but the length of Trump's shirt cuff is way different, and the table is a different wood.

mcmagic posted:Were they? You think a guy could commit an assault and then get elected to congress the next day in the 60s or 70s? Maybe not in the 1970s but 1870s, sure. Look up Ben "Pitchfork" Tillman. Ran on a campaign of literal lynching, and won. His nephew James Hammond Tillman literally assassinated a newspaper editor in 1903, in public in front of witnesses, and was acquitted.

business hammocks posted:Isn't the issue with this race that it shouldn't be remotely close, to the point where +10 for a republican there is a warning sign for tight races later? Sure but have Republicans been listening to warnings lately? They only understand defeat. Trimp will view any victory as endorsement. That said don't cry till it's actually over.

Silver lining here is if gianforte wins due to early voting we get to brand the Republicans as the Choke Slam Party and hopefully drive away people who think reporters shouldn't be assaulted, if there are any of those left.

skylined! posted:this is better than a quist win Eh, arguable. It's possible that anyone who's still voting republican is so far gone that this will just further normalize heinous poo poo and in two years Gianforte will be bragging about standing up to LIBERAL MEDIA. Still, I honestly think it would be the smart move for Republicans in the House to refuse to seat the guy because burning one House seat doesn't matter and it would serve to norrmalize their image and give them a pretextual defense of democracy stance -- sure we support President Pussygrab but we draw the line HERE! (over there, where it doesn't matter). But they aren't smart enough for that, if that's even the smart move after all, I could be wrong, maybe everything's already too feral.
