a quick poll about Russia and Donald Trump

Re: "Maddow's cult", viewership supposedly plunged half a mil this week

Like the point isn't that Mueller's report was "lol perpwalk these motherbitches" and Barr put whiteout all over it. But that perhaps the body of data was more like "some very concerning things were found but it is impossible to prove intentional collusion" or "there could have been obstruction but it's difficult to prove intent" vs "nothing to see here"

i don't give a shit what you think my poli-pundit "faves" are, Braddykins

cool, maybe next time don't bring up my letterboxd reviews here bc you're incapable of having a discussion where you're not convinced of your own superiority

Is Mueller even allowed to publicly dispute that

congress can call on him to testify, can't they?

Yeah absolutely...and probably will be called. I just don't think right now he can call NYT and say "about that report...."

But idk for sure

Damn! Ok fair enough so there have been some consequences

afaik Mueller no longer holds any defined position in government and therefore is free to publically discuss anything not officially classified as secret by law or by the courts. But he's not going to go out of his way to make any public statements unless he is asked to testify before Congress. He will do everything by the book.

Why didn’t mueller subpoena trump?

yeah, that I don't understand

This is the issue where I am frustrated with my uncle, Robert Swan Mueller.

But I do hate American leftists.

all of them? like, every community activist and union organizer and...?

Re: "Maddow's cult", viewership supposedly plunged half a mil this week

well, something good came out of this at least...

He will do everything by the book.

the mueller whisperer....

yeah it's absolutely nuts that Trump was never asked for an interview, the only explanations I can think of are 1) Republicans don't have to play by those rules or 2) they figured he was just going to lie his ass off anyway so what's the point?? idk man this is just weird. what the hell was Mueller even investigating??

Before this whole situation, Rachel Maddow always seemed kinda chill, like someone who I’d want for my trivia team.

She can still be on it if she wants

def into trivia

i'd bet she would be amazing

i could see us winning the league if she was on the team. but alas

I'm guessing I have the most consistent far-left voting record of anyone on this thread

there were 340 boxes on the upper house ballot last weekend. aiui you only get to number one (1) box?

tbh americans seldom really have an opportunity to vote for "far left" candidates.

i mean my mom voted for dick gregory once upon a time...

I am the most “out there” probably—a true firebrand

yeah but how many of you have a rosa luxemburg tattoo on the small of your back?

It's true that the far left in the US does not enjoy the widespread popularity, and electoral success, it does in The People's Republic of Denmark.

political parties and electoralism are reactionary

come into my eco-libertarian-communist yurt and find the true meaning of the left

i dont cair what any body says, i still thing that trupm did rusha

But I do hate American leftists.

all of them? like, every community activist and union organizer and...?

Nah, that's an exaggeration, I hung out with leftists when I lived in San Diego, and liked a lot of them. But American leftism in general is pretty annoying.

I mean, yeah, this is most of the explanation. I vote for the Unity List, as did 7,8% of Denmark last parliamental election (and 12,8% of my city last municipal election, which is a bit low for a city).

Also, I was elected to the school council on the communist/satanist ticket back in ninth grade. True story.

satanist is the opeth of the masses

arrgh
*satanism

as a constituent of, donor to, and voter for America's only (I think) Socialist Alternative city councilor, I claim the right to be called the most leftist person on ilx

Never voted for a far left candidate in my life, I must be American.

i once voted for a trotskyist party

which makes me the biggest dumbass on ilx

ok now whose dick curves the most to the left. fred?

i once voted for a trotskyist party

which makes me the biggest dumbass on ilx

I currently donate to a trot organization which makes me an even bigger dumbass than you jim

which one?

my fave north american trotsky org is solidarity, and their journal against the current is really good

none of you poseurs have a regular donation to any maoist organizations though.

wait there are non-annoying political factions in the US? please explain

mister, we could use a man
like leon trotsky once again
those...were...the...days!

in my experience calling a girl annoying is guy for "im gonna try and fuck that chick". its an instant break up in my book.

Lol

@jim - IMT

credit where it's due to them for having the domain marxist.com

somehow doing Putin's bidding again, right Satan/Maddowists?

Reuters reports:

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Russia to pull its troops from Venezuela and said that “all options” were open to make that happen.

The arrival of two Russian air force planes outside Caracas on Saturday believed to be carrying nearly 100 Russian special forces and cybersecurity personnel has escalated the political crisis in Venezuela.

“Russia has to get out,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. Asked how he would make Russian forces leave, Trump said: “We’ll see. All options are open.”

are you talking to anyone here?

wait did Satan get a new show?

Fuller House iirc

wait did Satan get a new show?

he has a whole network.

more like a medium tbh

just based on stuff we already know mueller could have indicted don jr, fact he didn’t prob means he wussed out from going too close to the pres. i figure he had something that technically implicated trump but was kinda small beans and was like ‘eh fuck it’ .. trump was acting hilariously suspicious the entire time and it clearly kept him up at night, his tweets last weekend were fn nuts lol. the way libs reacted to russia stuff was obvs some kinda mild post traumatic denial and produced some of the cringiest content in history but tbh i think the investigation was a success
