Here is a good article that was lost last thread:

this IS a good article, and its absolutely insane how we live in a time of unfathomable interconnectedness, and smarmy libs and gutless centrists do. not. go. outside. just go outside and loving talk to folks about what they need and how we can get there together and it turns out its fuckin' unalloyed democratic socialism accountable continually to the public. that's all anyone who isn't literally a bundy wants. that's it. it really is that simple. say a thing and mean it and americans will nod and go "yeah. Yeah!"

I think she took some bad advice about triangulation in the general and is learning why triangulation loses 11 times out of 10 in the age of the tea party and trump, because it didn't matter what she said in support of israel she used the word OCCUPATION in passing omg

Russiagate boils down to two things: Collusion and Interference. Neither of which has been proved.

For collusion you have poo poo like Manafort and Trump being friendly with Russians.

For interference you have Russian agents allegedly phishing the DNC and Russian bots.


Anything else is hearsay bullshit and saber-rattling, and ultimately none of it matters because our "democracy" has been compromised for years now.

its really loving frustrating seeing people admit they don't have any primary information sources outside of a few twitter follows, but heres why i KNOW russia just declared war:

blogs being the only non-brainwormed (or, at least, transparently brainwormed) aggregators of information post-911 led me to this and other websites, so its good to see that atrios at least has kept it real instead of taking the dailykos astroturf route.

I drove today and had NPR on again

NPR was apocalyptic about the trump-putin meeting

NPR informed the audience that russia was an adversary and not an ally

NPR pushed the narrative that normally the media has a responsibility to present a both sides narrative on issues related to the presidency but that this event they referred to as a "singularity" required a "slightly" different role for the media

NPR wondered aloud to itself why republican voters don't care about the russiagate issue when asked and polled. they then pushed a narrative that it's hard for someone to admit that they were duped and started talking about trump rallies sponsored by that russian internet social media agency

they of course did not allow any counterbalancing views during these segments

the degredation of NPR as an institution within my lifetime is becoming my personal bellwether for Gettin' Old

the russians whole thing has always been exploiting already existing divisions within american society, and there's a distinct difference between rich and powerful organizations like the NRA openly courting Russia and groups like BLM using RT as a platform or whatever

this is a true and accurate statement that will never ever ever ever ever ever be dignified outside of this one exchange in this one particular thread, because our institutions are strong and we're above such petty partisanship, you see.
