The Heritage foundation wants results. Trump has been their boon since he let them lay the groundwork for judges. They are opportunists. If he’s in office, he’s their man.

I was just as ready to bail I’m sure you can’t find such in my comment history as well. It was a disaster. My comment wasn’t aimed at everyone. I think it’s fitting for some here but not you.

Agree. DNC needs a huge reckoning. Took a deep dive into one of the commenters history and this is a shitty satire of that. Also the Jill Stein simping.

Nope just mean I’m getting a lot of ‘hey if everyone just votes third party we can will ourselves out of this predicament’. In reality many of the end goals of the commenters align with both leftist and far right efforts to capitalize.

That’s funny, I’m getting some big Jill Stein energy here

There’s only one rule: say the most flippant thing possible to get platformed. Why are we still platforming this amoeba

Here in the US they wouldn’t even have the shame to drop out.

She would have been such a great choice. Completely unassailable from all sides and sharp as a tack.

Yeah hard sell on the whiney voice too

Stacey or Kamala?

She’s not worse than Biden but not great. He should have chosen Stacey Abrams.

I was assuming the comment I was replying to was satire

Or better yet don’t vote. Let fascism have a swing at it. I’m sure 207 soulless horse traders can do better than 62.

Well shit. That is what I remember. All my searches: ‘russia hack RNC’, ‘republican hack’ , ‘RNC hack’, etc. were flooded with 2021 results from a different hack. Nothing from WikiLeaks, DCLeaks, Gucifer, 2016 presidential hack, or 2016 Russia interference yielded anything fruitful.

Thank you! At least I feel less crazy.

I think you were perfectly reserved in your response. It helped me not dig in or just blow it off and not respond. Thanks!

You’re right. I absolutely cannot find that wikileaks had RNC info. I’ve searched quite a bit determined to find what I remember but nada.

There is this but about DCLeaks having but releasing a bit of republican info on Trump’s primary challengers

On August 12, 2016, DCLeaks released roughly 300 emails from Republican targets, including the 2016 campaign staff of Arizona Senator John McCain, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, and 2012 presidential candidate and former Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann.[13] The release included 18 emails from the Illinois Republican Party.[18]

But that is not what I remember and certainly doesn’t help my case.

I apologize. Either my memory fails me or I was mislead (or both). Certainly does not refute Assange being a channel for Russia to get trump elected but does make me look like a tool.

You don’t report for any party. You report the truth that you find by linking the facts you uncover.

I can’t explain their motives. I can only say WikiLeaks had them but did not release.

Edit: nope can’t say that. Apparently that was just an embolism. Nothing to see here just mopping up my pride.

Journalists do not pick sides. He had email from the RNC and DNC via Russian government sponsored hacks. He chose to release only DNC emails to the benefit of pro Putin candidate Trump. Edit word

Edit edit: can’t find any info on RNC hacks parallel to the DNC ones

I know one guy that doesn’t like a loser
