I don’t think it’s any better for him. He’s a racist. My criticism is of the media here, and subsequently, a defense of Anderson Cooper (as a member of the media) IF his point was that Bannon (while an irredeemable racist) is not in fact a white supremacist. Covering him that way is simplistic which is no big deal if…

OK that was not particularly substantive. Like I said, I’ve looked for evidence or reputable news coverage of evidence and have not found anything. I’m not saying it didn’t happen or that it is far-fetched to consider it, and certainly I’m not some information guru and there might be evidence right there in my face,…

I’m not sure what that has to do with my post, unless you think Trump will take action to dismantle the drone program, which I seriously doubt.

You know much more about this than I do since my knowledge is anecdotal and not based on anything official, but I was in Almaty about 15 months ago when the SCO was described to me as potentially being like a Russian-China NATO. ???

I know it’s hard to separate hysteria from reality these days since we are in “anything goes” horror land, but is there any evidence for this claim that the Russians hacked the election? I haven’t seen anything other than claims. It seems they are involved in the leaks before the election for sure, but that’s a…

Yeah I’ve been following that because I have friends in Kazakhstan where I live for a while and it’s a common discussion point there- how this might affect them.

I just read the transcript. What a fucking idiot. Putin is going to play him like a harp.

Thank god they’re going to talk to Obama. But I wonder wtf he can say to reassure anyone?

He said something stupid to Theresa May as well. Not that I think May or Sharif are in any way competent and ethical people themselves, but it would give me some satisfaction if world leaders started asking to speak to the grownup in charge if they have any real business to discuss.

Look I was asking myself questions like that, but I went to Trump Country last week and spent several days with his hard core supporters. I’m sure there are plenty of GOP voters who are old school evangelicals and paleocons who voted for Trump because (in their minds) he was the less evil. But Trump’s actual…

Have they responded though? I’m scared to google anything more. Pouring myself a drink...

What happened in the call to Pakistan? It’s shocking to think that someone with absolutely no knowledge of Pakistan, India, their history, Pakistan’s role in global terrorism, etc is even in a position to call up Sharif. I’m afraid to even ask wtf he said. Like, ok I’ll google it if you don’t tell me, but maybe not…

Stalin killed at least 20 million people, and even 20 million more than that if you count consequential mass death. I didn’t have to go to history class to learn this. Living for a while in a former Soviet state where millions of people were relocated, and separately, visiting friends near Dolinka, were both…

You probably were vaccinated as a child (depending on your age) but need a booster into adulthood.

Aside from how shitty this is, I’m just dying inside thinking about how we have at least four more years of looking at dickheads standing in front of that gaudy tacky fucking gold elevator.

I just looked for naked pics of him, and while I’d eat him with a spoon, he needs to stop skipping leg day.

Yeah but if you just mute it and watch him talk, he is really gorgeous.

I don’t know who that guy is, but omg he is yummy.
