  • The referral came after Ratcliffe last week released a review that criticized the 2016 US intelligence community assessment, long criticized by President Donald Trump and his allies, that found Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to intervene in the election on Trump’s behalf. In a post on X, Ratcliffe said the new review found that the original assessment “was conducted through an atypical & corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan & former FBI Dir. Comey.”

    It’s America so it has to be the dumbest, funniest thing possible. Arresting political opponents over twitter beef would be it.

    The former FBI director was interviewed by agents investigating a photo he posted to social media Thursday showing shells in the sand on a beach spelling out “86 47,” which has become a popular social media code for removing Trump from the presidency.

    I remember this shit because chuds were all “omg he’s saying that he wants someone to assassinate Trump!” It was the dumbest shit ever.






  • I’ve never seen a more pristine example of a straw man, let alone in the wild. Value is fundamental to what constitutes Marxist theory. It’s like claiming Garfield hates pasta. Even beyond the strawman, I’m reminded of this quote

    “I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops” - Stephen Jay Gould

    At which point he’s the OP, Nick Tyrone, is going to pivot to “Capitalism lifts people out of poverty” and “it’s not 0 sum” and “it’s not violent, only the state is violent because starvation is a baseline” so the beauty would be wasted on him.
