My Accounting Of The Actual True And Real Events Of Russiagate (I Assume)

The pisstape events happened, less as part of a Top Secret Plan To Control The President Of The United States Decades Later By Those Wily KGB Supermen than as a routine attempt to get leverage on a rich person.

It was then determined that blackmailing Donald Trump was useless since he has the attention span of a goldfish and intelligence to match, and that he was much more easily controlled by telling him he was a great guy and making sure no one else talked to him after you did. Unfortunately for Russia, everyone else knew this too.

There were a few obvious 'hacking' attempts done specifically and solely to sow distrust in American institutions and fear.

Barron recorded anime over the actual pisstape a few years ago.

Why are the Democrats fighting so much to give Neera Tanden some White House office head position? All I can tell is that she was senior staff for Hillary Clinton. And that's it. She's been loyal to the Clinton's for over a decade so this is her reward.

It's awesome that Biden's administration is fighting harder for Neera Tanden than $15 minimum wage.

I think there's a lot of internal factionalism in the Dem party that only occasionally spills out in public. Basically (all conjecture, obv) Neera got a cabinet position in exchange for something from the Clinton faction of the party which, for whatever reason, the Obama-Biden faction still needs the support of.

Sure. I was in Bolivia in 2016 doing aid work while Evo was trying to get his constituional amendment passed to let him do the extra term. Bolivians were talking about it constantly, and there were very mixed feelings. Undoubtedly the guy has done immense good for Bolivia, but people were really wary about his growing authoritarian tendency.

This was in cocha, not santa cruz or something. working people and students.

I thought Evo was loving great for a long time. But he's a man, and men are fallible, and we shouldn't put men on pedestals. I don't think the coup was right or justified, but i also don't think evo was justified in grabbing for more power pre-coup rather than stepping aside and enthusiastically supporting a good successor.

I'm enormously glad that the coup failed and that the people of Bolivia still have a democratic government.

Man, I don't really know who you are or why people make the sign of the cross and hiss when you come near, but I feel like a more specific answer than "Alas, but man is mortal" to the question of just what was bad about Morales was expected.

Yeah that objection essentially boils down to "Evo used the machinery of his country's democracy too successfully" as far as I can tell, which isn't interesting enough to merit further discussion

It does actually make sense though, and confirms my longstanding theory that (some) liberals want a clockwork universe where The Rules are more like laws of physics, self-enforcing and inviolate, and that breaking The Rules is not just wrong, it's absolutely impossible and Republicans are guilty of witchcraft, basically.

No, she has no power. The dems are making her out as this powerful being to be able to convince gullible idiots that she's the reason they can't do "good thing" instead of the true reason of "they don't want to". If you're mad at her for reading a book instead of at the dems then congrats you fell for it.


She works for congress, yes.

Her role (at this point) is to give the democrats cover for not doing a thing they didn't actually want to do.

Whether she was consciously complicit in this is an interesting question but I dunno how relevant.
