Chris Christie is so perfectly fat it is perplexing to me usually fat people have a gross sort of sagging quality but Christie looks like he's stuffed full of packing peanuts, oddly buoyant.

It still might be the face he was making when he apologized. That is, he recognizes that the world thinks he is an rear end but is internally confident that he is the normal one and everyone else is a bunch of babies.

the apology seemed sincere and legit to me but afaik he just found a decent Crisis Management firm to take care of it for him

i cant find the source for this at all. average gas price at the pump is at a low for this year but it was cheaper last year and parts of the year before that. gasoline commodity futures are also not at their lowest.

the lack of specificity of this claim + the fact that there is not a clear source that explains how it is determined means that if someone asks about this at a press conference later someone can say something like "actually the current national average price is lower than the average price of gas over the last ten years" or some other weird statistics trick that will drive me insane.

the truly inspiring part of this story didnt get reported. turns out that he actually held his breath the entire four hours. macron was concerned about conserving "precious oxygen" for the rest of the crew, and used his extreme powers of self control to make the sacrifice. truly a hero. vive la france

despite not being president Clinton has managed to start a controversy about the literal slaves working in her house, her daughter has been attacked online for seeming to have political aspirations, and posted some bafflingly garbage tweets. plus the left could be actively trying to pressure democrats leftwards instead of just crossing their fingers and hoping the insane president doesnt accidently pass a law banning contraception or reorganizing the 50 states' borders to spell his name.

So we have unassailable evidence that Junior wanted Russian state help, and everyone's talking about whether Trump was in on it or not, but how far are they in proving that help actually happened? Or, how necessary is that compared to knowing that they wanted it?

well theres the thing about how Russia hacked and released the dnc emails through wikileaks.

and the fact that they at the very least attempted to infiltrate multiple election computer networks. (thanks Reality Winner)

russia likely activated a bunch of political operatives (kids on computers) to flood online American discourse surrounding the presidential election.

the #fakenews scandal they helped fuel via sputnik and (to a lesser extent) RT

micheal flynn was natsec adviser while being paid by a turkish lobbying firm that was funded at least in part by a russian gas company oligarch.

What I mean is, how can they prove that those are state actors and that the Trump campaign ordered them? I figured that would be the tricky part now that we know they at least wanted them to happen.

We're talking about taking down a US president here so I figured they'd need evidence down to a subatomic level or it's not worth trying.

wapo reported that us intelligence was extremely confident in the information provided by a russian source that Putin personally requested hacking and leaking information damaging to Hillary clinton

and Donald Trump asked for Russia to hack Hillary clinton's "deleted emails" on stage at a campaign rally.

and some member of the Donald campaign claimed to have personally had contact with "guccifer 2.0" on tv iirc

Brother Friendship posted:

I have the same set of arguments for union dues as I do with taxes and walk them through the benefits earned with the minimal loss of income. I ask things like 'Do you really think workers would be better off negotiating individually or as a group' and 'Why would management give concessions if they didn't have to when corporations exist to maximize profit and, if a board of directors fail to do so, they are in legal violation of their duties.' But I also don't pretend that corruption isn't absolutely rife in unions and I share some stories about the influence of the mob with some local flavor (my hometown was a backwater for the NY/NJ crime families). I always end the discussion by advocating the elimination of unions and the establishment of a country wide united labor force to negotiate with capital. They always laugh at that part and I'm like 'why do you think I'm joking'.

I've talked to a few dozen conservatives and honestly, no matter how agreeable they are, they will never change their minds. I just go through the motions for my own benefit and take my satisfaction from the debate.

the best way to convert these people is to absolutely play up corruption and crime connections, and then ask them who's side of that they would rather be on. pitch everything like a pyramid scheme and that if they are willing to play for the team they can also trick their bosses into giving them more money. people can take the blue pill and learn about labor relations later when they actually have incentive to believe in it for their own sake.

lol why do you think there will be free and fair elections in 2020? Trump or his chosen successor will slide right through because only affluent or better white people will be allowed to vote.

Under the New Equal Voting Representation act, a minimum of 50% of all votes must go to the republican candidates. This is to ensure safe and legitimate elections and to prevent democrats from dictating policy for the rest of America.
