i think enough time has passed that we can all stand to laugh at the ridiculous nothingburger that is the mueller report. and i think i speak for all of us when i say: lol

remember how for a few months, every friday had some major news story about yet another trump lackey accidentally confessing to crimes on air or something? who can forget the interactive nyt graphic that outlined the web of conspiracy surrounding trump, going right back to russia. the infamous eric garland thread. mueller himself saying "trimp" during his congressional hearing.

the whole russiagate thing was such a failure that i don't think i heard any major democrat bring it up even once during the 2020 election. part of that is because the image of russia as a shadowy, malign actor vanished like fog as soon as covid hit and china became a much more natural international nemesis, but it's also telling that the democrats just abandoned the reams of propaganda, messaging, etc. that they had spent so much time and treasure creating in the 2017-2018 era. absolutely no one cared about the mueller report after the impeachment (obviously) failed, which just makes it all the more pathetic that there's so much cringe content about mueller floating around out there

anyways, what's a classic russiagate moment for you? for me, i always remember sam nunberg getting drunk on live tv and going on every news talk show and confessing to many crimse, and then none of it amounting to anything at all

Gaslit Nation. It’s still going and has like 5,000 on patreon.


quote:

Today we examine the most powerful person in the United States -- Elizabeth MacDonough! Who, you might ask? Why, the Senate Parliamentarian, of course! You know, that person who you stood outside for hours in line in a plague waiting to vote for, the person whose policies you studied and advocated and critiqued…oh wait, that’s Joe Biden, the helpless inhabitant of the White House! Once again, the Biden administration agenda is being conveniently held up by the thumbs down recommendation of the Parliamentarian, and once again, Vice President Kamala Harris could simply overrule the Parliamentarian, or the Senate could fire the Parliamentarian…but since the Parliamentarian creates such an amazing excuse for Democratic inertia, they aren’t! And they’re screwing over the American public in the process.

Let’s see, what else is new in the Apocalypse. We discuss oligarch outer space fantasies, their botched escape game plan for climate catastrophe, and pick up our investigation of the shady Manchin family that we began last week – it turns out the Manchins have a shady coal-money-grubbing son, too! Then we turn to Aukus, which is a French acronym for “Joe Biden Has hosed Us Over.” Last week France withdrew its ambassadors to the US and Australia over what they are describing as “lies and duplicity” involving a new pact between the US and the far-right governments of the UK and Australia. The future of NATO and the EU are in jeopardy, which is exactly the outcome Vladimir Putin was trying to achieve under his lackey Donald Trump. We discuss corrupt lobbyist Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who grew up in France and yet is handling this diplomatic disaster atrociously, and wonder if his family ties (his stepfather was Jeffrey Epstein’s liaison to the French government) also may have something to do with it. We also look at Monday’s ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that Russia was responsible for assassination of Aleksandr Litvinenko in the UK and review the horrifying final allegations about Putin that Litvinenko made before his murder. Finally, we discuss the crisis of Haitian refugees on the border and Border Control’s abhorrent response!

Our bonus episode is a longer one than average and it’s going to air on Friday. It’s called “The FBI: Enablers of Abuse” and it will examine the FBI’s protection of Jeffrey Epstein, their protection of Larry Nassar, and their protection of white men in other cases, like the ongoing search for Gabby Petito’s killer, who was given a head start. We will also, as always, be answering questions from our subscribers at the Democracy Defender level and higher. This episode is available to anyone who subscribes at the Truth-Teller level or higher on Patreon. Subscribe to keep Gaslit Nation going!

It sounds a lot better now than what I’d have thought.

my favorite mueller fact is that he was one of the guys who went to pressure ashcroft to renew blatantly illegal domestic surveillance when he was deathly ill in a hospital bed. he's a true liberal hero, by which i mean he is a republican who accomplishes very little.

I know this is a really stupid country highly susceptible to fear and propaganda but I'm still surprised at how insane The Mueller/Russiagate saga got and how anyone took it seriously. Remember SNL worshipping Mueller and other late night TV praying for Mueller to drop hammer evverday for 3 years? lmao

loved it when the report actually came out and was a huge dud and then everybody decided that what really happened and the real reason why nobody gave a poo poo was that bill barr had maliciously sabotaged it by holding a press conference where he accurately reported that it was a huge dud
