Since the GOP previously controlled both houses, the Mueller investigation seemed like the only possible oversight that existed across the entire federal government. Back then it made that it's all people could pay attention to because nothing else was even going on in the oversight world. (The takeaway from that should have actually been "the oversight world is hosed and nonexistent" and some people at least came away with that message). But as soon as other investigations beside Russia became possible (coming out of the House) people should have moved on from caring about it. The media wouldn't let that happen, but good luck with that now, as the investigation's officially over. Kind of foils their plan to distract us there. Also it's not like distracting the populace actually accomplishes anything since we do not have direct democracy in any form. Now that it's over hopefully that's an opening for everyone to watch congress try to do its job sending some (far more slam dunk) cases not related to Russiagate at all to court. Trump commits like 10,000 crimes a day and the only thing keeping any from mattering would be the insistence on investigating one, and one alone, and it's the wrong one known to have holes. But that's not under the media's control anyway. The media could only try to swing *the public's* attention towards that. I don't think we lost much from it --- at worst, it removed public pressure for investigations that were not possible before with both GOP houses anyway. A few in the dem congress have at least been trying to get some other investigations started. Life went on even without the media's participation. Send him to court for the 1,000 other things he's admitted to. It better be fast because the populace is getting angry and desperate and doesn't want to wait for justice, but it's one more thing to do. Just trying to test my understanding of what CSPAM is gonna be talking about going forward. Anyway glad you posted the thread Happy Thread has issued a correction as of 18:31 on Mar 24, 2019 |

the boston bomber posted:I think its naive to look to the court system at all for any relief from the trump administration. the US attorneys are all trump appointees. they will control what does and does not get into court. Oh are there no potential investigations the house could start on any topic that would be controlled only by state level attorneys? If not then yeah that sounds like we're hosed lol, burn it all down

Perhaps they had been confused by the presence of Donald Trump into thinking it was a TV talent show, which they are NEVER WATCHING AGAIN. My god you're right

Peel posted:i think the steele dossier in retrospect is the main thing that looks a lot like a stitch-up? the affair in general can be adequately explained by a genuine investigation into something fishy exacerbated by trump's total lack of self-control (the report doesn't actually dispute the russian government tried to do a thing, it just doesn't indict anyone for colluding with them to do it), but e.g. the piss tape thing was perfectly designed to get memetic publicity. I was under the impression that individual items in the Steele Dossier was largely confirmed by other sources, they just aren't actionable legally because there is no proof. Many of the claims in it would not have produced any long term evidence and would be legal duds. There were no recordings or any smoking guns that the legal establishment would have trouble shoving under a rug. They were "convenient" crimes to bury if the establishment were so inclined, and they were, so they paraded the dossier around like it was the only thing that merited attention. The one thing that was a "recording" was the piss tape, and there is certainly smoke to that fire because CSPAM has a cell phone video of it playing on a computer. Or else a very sophisticated reproduction created at great expense by a nation state after the fact.... only to unceremoniously drop it on a message board to no fanfare and forgotten, which makes no sense. CSPAM is repeatedly out of its own loop about this so I'm linking it again. http://pissta.pe/  That is the piss tape clip for all of you who have somehow still not found out, despite posting in the only place that cared when it surfaced.

Pawg From Produce posted:Is that definitely not the hoax piss tape some group admitted to making? It's an easy thing to claim that someone made a hoax piss tape. But no one has ever provided anything substantial about it when called on it. Who made a compelling fake piss tape? When? Where is it? It's way too easy for that rumor to be started by any of the groups (GOP) who don't want a compromising video to be believed if it ever leaks, and so it should be taken with a grain of salt

Oh nooooooo On the one hand lol, but Fake news doesn't really work as an April Fools Prank, because the pranked will never visit that URL again. Instead they'll just insist forever that they SAW PROOF ONCE and will never be able to shake that feeling or figure out what happened. This is identical to putting harmful fake news out into the world

Today there's a few large makeshift signs erected on pedestrian bridges above the 10 freeway in Los Angeles, for all ten lanes of traffic slowly inching forward to read as they drive under. Seen by close to a thousand people per hour, they read: "Thank you Rep. Schiff" "RELEASE THE FULL REPORT" "I just think we would be better off knowing if we're Russian" Of all the legitimate things there are to protest about the US at the moment, these guys just have to slip in racism and nationalism somewhere or else it's not worth fighting for

While most of the forum is gloating over the latest Assange humiliations, do any of y'all actually believe Glenn's take on him? Is the modern story of Assange just more russiagate peddlers targetting some hero journalist as Glenn seems to think? How and why would they target him in this specific way? Is his argument seriously that the liberal media is in control of things to the point of causing sex assault victims to come forward? Are they really capable of staging the evidence they've presented for Assange having close ties to both the FSB and Trump campaign and providing crucial help to both to help the fascists? Or is Assange not a hero journalist at all and the russiagate people are right about this one?
