Notice they don't care who they appoint. The only criterion is that the applicant musn't be white.

But they don't want people in a white ethnic minority. If you are white, your application is shite.

Re the Michael Douglas accusation, from the BBC story:

Author and journalist Susan Braudy said Douglas's alleged treatment left her feeling "humiliated".

Her claims include that he performed a sex act in front of her.

The Hollywood star responded by saying: "This is a complete lie, fabrication, no truth in it whatsoever."

His statement came 10 days before Braudy's allegations were published in The Hollywood Reporter.

Douglas explained he "felt the need to get ahead" of the situation and share his concerns about the "nightmare" scenario.

I don't follow this stuff very closely, so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but are those styles of braids a white nationalist thing now? My daughters and their friends often do elaborate braids, but they would be unaware of any racist signalling that braids would signify. It would be a shame if they had to stop because a bunch of nutters decided it would be a spiffy white nationalist uniform/signal.

I'd give them a BDM-like outfit just to piss off their classmates.

A couple of pages ago, I made a comment toward the more right-leaning members of the pit (esp. John D and Vicky), asking why they weren't overly concerned with Trump's financial links to Russia.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1 ... is-a-crook

Let me put my question again: as it seems increasingly likely that Trump is financed by Russian mobsters and/or the Russian state (the two are largely interchangeable), are you not a little concerned that this could render him susceptible to their influence? ESP. Vicky, how is it you get all moist and fishy over his business acumen, when he's simply a mark for the mob?

During the primaries a republican entity funded the inquiry, after Trump won the primary the DNC took over the funding. It was opposition research, both sides do it all the time.
When Steele saw info where he thought that Trump had been compromised by the Russians, he informed the FBI, who were already investigating the matter, unknown to him and the public. The FBI is not supposed to intervene in the election and they kept the investigation quiet until after the election, which if they had made public may have hurt Trump's campaign. A few days before the election, Comey did announce that he had reopeneed an investigation into Clinton, which many consider to have been unethical and may have interfered with the outcome of the election.

Glenn Simpson's testimony indicates that Fusion GPS didn't obtain this information on the DNC's dime. It also indicates that when Steele went to the FBI, to voice his concerns over the possible Russian interference in the US presidential election, the FBI were already investigating possible links between Trump and Russia. Fusion GPS was not the origin of the FBI's investigation.

Of course, you're at liberty to disbelieve Simpson's testimony. He could be lying. But if that's your stance, I'm sure you'll be backing it up with evidence.

I am worried about Trump fleecing us. I am hopeful that enough people hate him and are watching him that anything too bold will be noticed by legitimate reporters and politicians (not the likes of Dailykos or Representative Schiff). Schiff is a lying little fucker and I yell "Suck my dick!" at the TV every time he comes on... haha.

I also think that it is very hard for Trump to keep too many secrets. There have been so many leaks of confidential info from Trump's staff that I hope any real shenanigans will get reported.

I am pretty sure Trump doesn't owe any favors to a bunch of Russians. He seems more than willing to screw anyone if he thinks it will give him a better deal. He may well have done some "banking" in Russia, but that would be expected from a land developer. He has moved money around in many countries. I haven't seen anything to looks too awfully fishy since his election. He did stuff in Russia and so he has some kind of connection to Putin I suppose. Hell... Putin IS Russia. He controls everything. If Trump just went to Russia to play golf it would be somehow associated with Putin... if you know what I mean. Putin is inevitable if you do ANYTHING in Russia. It is a totally corrupt country.

If Trump was really totally in bed with Putin would he approve the sale of rockets to Ukraine? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/jos ... 201b6947b7

Trump is a weird guy. He says odd things, but if you listen to him for a while you can understand his meaning and his plan. Everyone says Trump has never said anything negative about Trump. This is not true. People like Sam Harris harp on this story but they are wrong. I have heard interviews with Trump where he called Putin a "bad guy".... funny how you can't find these easily on the great Google (yeah... no bias there). But, Trump also tends to leave people like Putin some room for compliments. It is really different, but Trump does this to every world leader. Hell, the other day Trump implied he had a good relationship with Kim.... haha. This is just a Trump thing. I think it is how he works with everyone.

Overall I would prefer a president that is more moral than Trump. I never liked the guy. But, I am pleased with his performance as president so far. I am really surprised I am pleased... I didn't expect to be. I didn't vote for him.

[John D]

Also, I will say that I think the whole Russian election meddling thing is way overblown and it almost 100% political from the Dems. Look at the details.... Facebook was paid something like $150k by the Russians for ads. This is a joke. Almost anyone could scrape up this much money for ads and I dare say there is more lying coming out of "proper" political ads than anything the Russians could do. It is also clear that the ads targeted Dem and Rep positions. They seemed to mostly just be about fomenting discontent overall... which perhaps they did a bit.... but... most people are already plenty discontented. I doubt the Ruskies can really add much wood to the already blazing bonfire.

I suspect Putin is disappointed that he spent money on any ads. Since he was discovered, it really weakened his negotiating position with Western countries. It kind of backfired for him in my opinion... and I think Putin realizes this now. The overall effect has been very negative for Russia including the fact that businesses are running away from any investing there (especially since the Ukraine mess). My company had made plans to build a Russian factory a couple of years ago, but we switched to Hungary. This was before the election stuff, but I suspect it is a trend only strengthened by this last bunch of election shit.

I must have missed the part where the Ukrainian and Russian governments were both working to influence the election using illegally obtained such as stolen information and after approaching the Clinton campaign they worked together.
It appears the Russians hacked the DNC then took that info and disseminated it to influence the election. During that time they approached the Trump campaign so there appears to be reasonable suspicion to at least investigate collusion. If it was all so innocent why did Flynn, Kushner, Papadopoulos, Manafort , Page, and others lie about talking to the Russians?
They may not nail Trump on collusion but their may be something else like money laundering.

And why would that information influence voters? Oh. Because it was evidence of scummy wrongdoing. If we are opposed to leaks, shouldn't we also be upset that the Access Hollywood tape was leaked? I am sure it cost Trump some votes.

The Democrats met with the same Russian lawyer Trump Junior did.

As for Chelsea, she was starting to ask questions about how the money flowed in the Foundation, see? She even started talking about it with Republican friends. Band and Podesta weren't happy that Connie Corleone was daring to ask how Vito was able to afford such a beautiful wedding.

Which online feminist zine had these articles:

“You want to know you’re wanted” (“A Clinical Psychologist Revealed Why Women Have Rape Fantasies and It’s Totally Fascinating”); “What I like about rape fantasies is the loss of control” (“These Women Revealed Why They’re Into Rape Fantasies”); “It’s all about ‘sexual desirability’” (“There’s a Major Rape Fantasy Sub-Culture Out There That’s Pretty Intense”); “I hear how rape fantasies can be exciting and fun, even for those who have been raped. It’s not an unhealthy expression of sexuality” (“A Sexologist Explains Why Women Have Rape Fantasies”); “I beg him to stop while he carries on fucking me harder and harder. I dig my nails into his back with tears in my eyes and whisper that I want to go home” (“Sex IRL: The Grad Student With Graphic Rape Fantasies”).

That would be babe.net, the site that published the Ansari sexual assault piece.

https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article ... ssion=true

Katie Way’s college interests were journalism and creative writing. At Northwestern she wrote skillfully composed short stories in a vein of fiction she admired: magical realism. One of the reasons her Babe story has such an impact on readers—other than its naming of a very famous man—was its literary skill: It’s filled with precise details, and provides an immersive, world-building reading experience. On a “beautiful, warm September night” Ansari and Grace walked together to a romantic dinner spot, “Grand Banks, an Oyster bar onboard a historic wooden schooner on the Hudson River.” Over lobster rolls and a bottle of wine, they chatted about things that mattered to Grace: NYU, photography, and “a new, secret project” that Ansari was working on. They headed back to his apartment located in “an exclusive address on TriBeCa’s Franklin Street, where Taylor Swift has a place too.”

It was a night when a rich, successful, older man was taking a huge amount of interest in a young woman and treating her well: taking her to a fancy dinner, paying the check, listening to her stories. It’s a dream date. And then—as soon as they walk through the door of his apartment—the story turns dark and terrible. The language that Way uses to describe it is not the straight-ahead dispassionate language of crime reporting; it’s the language of pornography: “‘Where do you want me to fuck you? Do you want me to fuck you right here?’ He rammed his penis against her ass while he said it, pantomiming intercourse.”

The piece, with its dreamy opening, its pornographic passages, and its tone of aggrieved score-keeping over petty slights—he didn’t offer her the kind of wine she likes—has stirred something in young women.

But the piece is the almost inevitable consequence of a lifestyle promoted on the website, which enjoins young women to fulfill men’s sexual desires and to— literally—behave whorishly. Or, as a wrap-up of Babe’s 2017 service journalism put it: “You now know how to give life-changing blow-jobs, what it’s like to have rape fantasies, what percent hoe you are based on a scientifically accurate quiz, and how to keep your lipstick on even if your mouth is … otherwise occupied.”

Pulsing underneath all of this is the exact emotion which Katie Way lost control of Wednesday night: rage, so overpowering and so poorly understood that it can easily erupt and excoriate the wrong person.

In such swirls of high emotion and with diffuse goals, social entrepreneurship becomes lucrative. This Ansari episode, for example, has been a huge boon to the girls who don’t give a fuck, as they gleefully tell every reporter who asks them about it. As the writer Kerry Flynn wrote in an essay about the website published in Mashable, “For Babe, Grace's story was a big break—good for traffic and for the brand.”
