in other news

Clinton paid for fake dossier
Comey used dossier to push FBI investigation
FBI used investigation to raid Manafort, presumably found nothing because nothing came of it.
Mueller expands the scope of the investigation....
...and the only link they've found after a year is Podesta.

So....... we done here?

Yeah man some people say the earth is flat, some people say its round. Who knows? It could even be square, its good to keep an open mind on these things.

It's an oblong spheroid actually

Well I was hoping to find some common ground but I see that's not the case.

@POOHEAD189

I don't think it's a valid scientific position to be 100% sold on ANYTHING. You too should question the models used to predict global catastrophe, especially when observations routinely invalidate them.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

@mdk, you are aware Trump and Pence are climate change deniers, right? Just curious.

@POOHEAD189

Skeptics, at the moment. Their positions have changed an awful lot. Whatever they needed to believe or dis-believe in order to get us out of the Paris Accords, I'm grateful.

Then again I'm not 100% sold on man-made climate change either. But that's neither here nor there.

bad timing, or good timing?

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Dunno what's up with that, @POOHEAD189. It sounds like, from NYT, this applies only to EPA scientists, and only concerns the press -- which doesn't upset me, I guess, because government science is (for me) in the same ballpark as State Priests, at least when it comes to some elements of climate change......... I sound like a nut, huh, water that down a little bit, it gets across the GIST of what I mean but definitely overstating it.

Knowing nothing at all about the cancellation besides what I've read -- that sounds like it's in-bounds. Should we be funding science to look at the climate, yeah, definitely. Should we treat every press-box decision as an attack on the very existence of knowledge or whatever? naw.

oooooooooh I 'memberrrrr!

For the first time there might be something to the Russian narrative as the Senate intends to investigate the Obama administration's actions and the involvement of Hillary Clinton... in the uranium and bribery department that is. Now I know @mdk had mentioned this before, as did I on the Guild's Discord, but it is still amusing no one is willing to bite on this story despite how many other "scandals" they were willing to bring forward.

This is not a point to gloat about, but rather instead a larger point about the deep seated corruption that had almost won a bid for presidency. This was no secret either - you can read about it for yourself in the article - and was known well in advance, something that was constantly being beaten down as "fake news" or unimportant during the election, yet here it is, in plain view for everyone to see. There is of course some pretty impressive damage control taking place so as to better sweep this under the rug and out of the eyes and mind of the average citizen, again, but let us not succumb to that. A fair number might want to ignore it, though the good news is, is that the cat is almost assuredly out of the bag now.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

*talks about dieting*

@Penny

That's about the response I've come to expect whenever Uranium One comes up.

They're already treating it like a parking ticket though

when you push your agenda, but then it pushes back

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

I dunno if it matters. Dieting is less coming in and exercise is more going out. What matters is how much you've got at the end of the day, and what you can stick with. For some people that means diet is more effective and for others that means exercise is more effective, and whichever one is the most, you know, cool and all -- but doing both is always better.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

@mdk Yes, the problem with society is there is too much feminism.

@Penny

When you're so feminist that the existence of thin people harms you, that's a problem. For the person in question, I mean -- I don't think society really cares. But that kinda shit ain't healthy.

feminism rising to dangerous levels
