No.

If Democrats don't have a significant take back of state houses in 2020 and SCOTUS rules for Republicans on gerrymandering, I would not be surprised if other countries begin to sanction the US from 2020 onwards if Trump is reelected.

Then what's this shit about pizza? Did he like pizza or something? Did he get caught at a pizza restaurant?

The pizzagate scandal was this wingnut bullshit from out of the election where Podesta references a NoVA pizza joint in one of his emails, which Alex Jones and the batshit brigade linked to child sex trafficking for some reason as a way to throw more shit at the Dems.

Then some guy went to "investigate" the pizza place with a loaded gun and Jones had to walk it back.

I knew he had a drug problem a while back, but fuck!

The Alt-Right theorized that Hillary and Podesta had a child sex ring in a pizza parlor near Hillary's DC office (because Podesta bought pizza from them a lot........ Yeah, it's the dumbest thing ever). The child sex ring was supposed to be in the basement... But there was no basement in the pizza parlor.

The poster you originally responded to was trying to jokingly connect the dots from a real sex offender to an imaginary child sex ring.

 

[sphagnum]

I really think pizzagate started as a lame joke on /pol/ because people on 4chan refer to child porn as CP or "cheese pizza". Then they realized hey wait a minute we can turn this into a thing and they ran with it.

It is baseless, but when you go into the history of UK politics, Child Sex Rings are not out of the question.

If by "joke" you mean "legit attempts at covering shit up"...

ITT people are too easily fooled by sincerity covered up by "ironic" humor

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I want to go to the pizza gate

 

[eBay Huckster]

a gate, but made of pizza

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

But who guards the Pizza Gate?

Covering up..what?

I'm saying I think someone on 4chan looked in the email dump, saw that Podesta talked about pizza a lot, went haha Podesta must like CP!!!, and then they decided to pump out a conspiracy theory with that to hurt Hillary.

 

[Got the Shakes]

Is this the accusing Hillary of colluding with the Russians to swing the election in favor of Trump defense? https://twitter.com/HallieJackson/status/883841105128706048

Yup, it's criminal that Hillary and Podesta haven't been arrested yet.

What I'm saying is that the term arose because the members there legit used it as codeword.

I'm saying that /pol/ are scum that hide sincerity behind what you refer to as "jokes" so that people who look into it are beset with "well they clearly don't mean it, right?" when they actually do.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

I just realized the one productive thing we could get Trump to do in office would be to declassify a bunch of the UFO files. No other president would do it; and would be interesting one way or the other.

Spoiler

im high and watching that Netflix UFO doc

 

[Autodidact]

Apparently...

(1) FBI and co. have known about the meeting since April
(2) Manafort's been talking to Congressional investigators.

Shit be movin' behind the scenes.

Where did we find out about #2?

Not that surprising, you don't expand your team if you are finding nothing.

 

[skullmuffins]

Where did we find out about #2?

From the NYT article:

Mr. Manafort, the former campaign chairman, also recently disclosed the meeting, and Donald Trump Jr.’s role in organizing it, to congressional investigators who had questions about his foreign contacts, according to people familiar with the events.

 

[BlastProcessing]

From the NYT article:

Thanks.

 

[RustyNails]

There's just no reason for a Kremlin lawyer to meet with the entire Trump campaign braintrust. I honestly felt Donald Trump personally wouldnt be implicated. The plot thickens quite a bit.

This N Korean thing is getting tense! I mean, I think it is, I'm on vaca. The ladies at my nail salon are freaking out, that's what I know!

Why do progressives like Bill Maher again?

Because he peddles smug superiority.

Oh no, not racist Bill Maher slipped up again, it may cause him to lose some sleep again.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Can't be racist if he goes to a nail salon run by Koreans.

Same would be true if he went to a massage parlor run by Thais!

 

[thepotatoman]

Why do progressives like Bill Maher again?

It was clear Maher was racist from the time him and Dawkins teamed as the atheist islamophobia duo, but it seems like he's really let it all hang out ever since trump became president.

So uh lots of Colorado voters are cancelling their registrations in light of Kobach requesting their data. That's... not good if it turns into a trend.

I heard it was hundreds of voters...out of millions.

love seeing Russian-expert liberal Twitter calling Russia communist

Well technically KGB is the Soviet intelligence arm, FSB is the current one.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

that's why it's funny

grifters like Garland have followers because libs think they're experts on Russia but he can't even get basic facts about the Russian government correct

White progressives

Gabbard/Maher ticket for 2020?

that's part of the point of the whole thing. they want people they don't like to drop out of the electoral process entirely.

 

[GrapeApes]

White progressives

Word. Used to watch a segment on YouTube every now and then but now it's straight boycott. Dude's forever on my shit list.

A look at Mueller's "Justice League", courtesy of NPR


There's more hirings on the way, but it's worth noting that of the 15 below hired by Mueller so far, 3 are appellate attorneys.
Mueller wants the resulting prosecutions to be appeal-proof.

Zainab Ahmad, a top national security prosecutor on detail from U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of New York.

Rush Atkinson, an attorney on detail from the Criminal Division's Fraud Section at the Department of Justice.

Michael Dreeben, an appellate attorney on detail from the Office of the Solicitor General, described by former colleagues as one of the brightest criminal law experts of the past two generations.

Andrew Goldstein, a public corruption prosecutor on detail from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York.

Adam Jed, an appellate attorney on detail from DOJ's Civil Division.

Lisa Page, an attorney on detail from the FBI's Office of the General Counsel and a former trial attorney with the Criminal Division's Organized Crime and Gang Section.

Elizabeth Prelogar, an appellate attorney on detail from the Office of the Solicitor General.

James Quarles, a former partner at WilmerHale and a former assistant special prosecutor for the Watergate Special Prosecution Force.

Jeannie Rhee, a former partner at WilmerHale who has served in the Office of Legal Counsel at DOJ and as an assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

Brandon Van Grack, an attorney on detail from the Justice Department's National Security Division.

Andrew Weissmann, who is on detail from the Criminal Division's Fraud Section and who has served as general counsel at the FBI and as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

Aaron Zebley, a former partner at WilmerHale who has previously served with Mueller at the FBI and has served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Aaron Zelinsky, an attorney on detail from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of Maryland.

Looks like a half-assed #nothingburger, right? Nothing to worry about! You always hire a team like that when there's no evidence of wrongdoing.

This video of an Australian journalist giving some real talk about Trump and the G20 has been making the rounds on Twitter. It's very, very true, and very, very sad.
