Just remembered that the Watergate scandal was pushed by the FBI to distract from some of their own illegal COINTELPRO raids, and that the character of Deep Throat, named after a popular porno, was a sensationalist invention to help sell Woodward and Bernstein's book.

Remember when so many pundits were falling all over each other to find a reason to declare "Trump became the President tonight" that I couldn't remember which one did it when and with what dumbass rationalization.

This made me remember the time Brian Williams quoted Leonard Cohen to say how cool it looked when Trump bombed an evacuated Syrian airfield.

I just remembered the time in 2016 when Rick Perry and Rudy Giuliani were trying to sound smart by saying that the wall Trump was talking about would be "digital", "technological", or "virtual".

And Trump got mad and shut them down by saying that he meant a real physical wall.

I suddenly remembered the Tea Party. Some billionaires decided they wanted to reinvigorate conservative ideology by challenging it with an even more reactionary version, apparently believing they'd be able to make the resulting maniacs fall in line after elections.

And then a true believer ran for president and dumpstered all their cronies.

Nah, Dubya actually strove to be malevolent, Obama strove to be mediocre. If he came after Bernie he would have continued with what Bernie did, because at this core he a status quo decorumlord. Unfortunately, that decorumlord came after Bush II

People who voted for W got the president they voted for. Obama ran on "hope and change" and instantly betrayed that idea to continue the work of the previous administrations. He was just about the same in policy direction and worse in representing the people.

When Comey helped throw the election to Trump, and was then rewarded by getting fired by Trump for some Russiagate bullshit

And then liberals went on to adore and donate money to the guy who helped kill their chances of winning 2016 because he was fired by Trump which then automatically makes him a good guy

When liberals went on to do that again with John Bolton, a man who literally tried to start WWIII multiple times across 30 years and was too bloodthirsty for even Trump to handle

Trump said he fired Comey because Comey was unfair to Clinton.

One of the reasons why 'antifa' is used is that it's the same word in most Western languages.
