Impact of Dobbs and Abortion Laws
ChiGoose replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I wouldn’t say Christians as much as right wing ideologues. Some people actually believe this stuff, but for those in power, it’s mainly just a tool to get the masses to support them. They know that the women in their lives will always have access to abortions if needed. But in their minds, this plays well with rubes and helps them keep power so they can do what they really want: transfer wealth from the average American to the rich. -
Dear #DeepState Coup Catchers Durham and Barr
ChiGoose replied to Warren Zevon's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The dossier was barely a part of the Russia investigation. It got all of the headlines because it was salacious but most of the Russia investigation had absolutely nothing to do with it. -
Dear #DeepState Coup Catchers Durham and Barr
ChiGoose replied to Warren Zevon's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Every fact that goes against the latest MAGA conspiracy is actually a factor in their favor: Durham being an incompetent moron on a wild goose chase is actually proof of the FBI’s evil plot and that every single person in DC on a jury will just decide however they want because, in the end, it’s all a Xanatos Gambit of idiocy. Pathetic. -
Is anyone actually surprised that the Lincoln Project was a big scam? It seemed fairly likely after a year or so.

It’s the establishment narrative because it’s the truth. You are taking small bits of facts (Biden got the prosecutor fired and Hunter worked for Burisma) and connecting them with falsehoods. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/21/fact-check-joe-biden-leveraged-ukraine-aid-oust-corrupt-prosecutor/5991434002/ Ukraine had a ton of corruption but their prosecutor wasn’t doing much about it. The Obama administration and our European Allie’s wanted Shokin gone so that someone could come in and actually prosecute corruption. At that time, Hunter was not under investigation so removing the prosecutor would have no impact on him. If anything, it would increase the chances he would be investigated. Hunter seems like a real piece of crap, and if he broke the law he should pay for it, but this narrative about the Ukrainian prosecutor has no basis in reality.

Trump's cult is mentally disturbed and must be stopped
ChiGoose replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
MAGA chuds succeed in threatening an entire elections office until everyone quits. -
Ok, so I think it’s important to take this with a large amount of skepticism, but if this is true, Trump should spend the rest of his days in jail. Newsweek is claiming that some of the documents at Mar a Lago included the payroll for some of our spies: https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-trump-raid-documents-could-reveal-intel-sources-us-payroll-1733230 I have a hard time believing this is true because it would be incredibly stupid. But if it his, Trump’s even dumber than I thought.

No, I just understand that many (most?) FBI investigations do not end in charges. That the threshold for a search is lower than that for an indictment, which is lower than that for a conviction. I also understand that if you personally keep government documents unlawfully, that you should expect to have to deal with the FBI. And if you lie to them about returning all of them, you shouldn’t be surprised when you get a knock at the door.
