I already knew that!

Actually there is a bunch of research that shows that the brain ignores input that is contrary to assumed norms. It’s edited out.


Why did you make a totally blank post? I didn’t even know Discourse let you do that!

How can we have no separate thread for Rudy and his gang of misfits?

It seems Lev Parnas stiffed a Florida family trust for $500,000, and they want to know where their money went. Leading to:

The testimony he must provide in Florida could shed new light on the scope of his payments to American campaigns and other Trump-connected entities, as well as other financial dealings.

The greatest condemnation of the Democratic party is that they somehow lost to a party led by idiots like Devin Nunes.

The guy is dumb as a rock.

Well Trump won’t let this stand. He’s strongly against leakers.

While the Dems are often capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and are poor at producing consistent, unified messaging that appeals to the masses, they are swimming against strong currents of ignorance that appear to be growing stronger. It’s 2019 and the earth is flat, science and higher education are liberal conspiracies, and Nazis might be OK people.

Unless they’re Russian prostitutes!

Urine a good mood today!

Dang, beat me to it :(

In case you were wondering where team Trump got the whole elaborate “It was the Ukrainians who interfered in the 2016 election, pretending to be Russians” conspiracy theory from, it was from Manafort, who got it from Konstantin Kilmnik, who almost surely works for Deripaska and therefore Putin:

DJT and his lackeys are so crooked they have to screw their pants on, as Hunter Thompson used to say about Nixon and his crew.

Fucking complete clowns and morons.

Even if the maneuvering by Flynn’s defense amounts to naught in the courts, the lawyers’ efforts to surface complaints about the Trump-Russia probe and the Mueller investigation could improve chances of Flynn receiving a pardon or commutation from President Donald Trump. Trump has already offered praise for Flynn’s new lead lawyer, Powell, calling her a “GREAT LAWYER” in a June tweet.

The Roger Stone jury trial started a couple days ago.

Tl;dr- he gonna go to jail
