Next the GOP will blame Snowden for all of this.
About that cease fire in TurkeyâŚit just for 120 hours while the Kurds evacuate the area. So basically the US is giving Turkey all they want without having to even fight the Kurds for itâŚnow lets see what the Kurds think about it. The most nausea inducing part is the public sloppy fellatio that Pence saw fit before making his anouncement.
Methinks the wheels might be coming off

Karl pressed: âTo be clear, what you described is a quid pro quo, it is, funding will not flow unless the investigation into the Democratic server happens as well?â
Mulvaney didnât deny the characterization.
âWe do that all the time with foreign policy,â he said.
It is absolutely astounding that they can say âBoth sides do itâ with a straight face. It is un-fucking believable that millions of Americans believe that this is true! ![]()
We have to see the Erdogan transcript at some point.
Wake me up when all the winning starts.
All the stuff about âthe DNC wouldnât let the FBI examine the server!â and âthe server is sitting somewhere in Ukraineâ is bullshit created by people who donât understand how any of this works, for people who donât understand how it works.
From a post-mortem attack analysis standpoint, the physical location of the server is 100% irrelevant unless there is reason to suspect the hardware itself was hacked, and thatâs almost never the case. Crowdstrike, the FBI, or whomever else wants to analyze an attack like the one that hit the DNC has absolutely no need to access the physical machine. What they need are network logs, DNS logs, disk access logs, and the like. Some of these exist as digital files on the server (which can be trivially copied and emailed around for analysis), and some of these exist as logs on other machines â routers, network switches, etc. Depending on how the DNC had their network system set up, there might not have even been a single, particular physical server involved.
And the ones that Mother gives you donât do anything at allâŚ

Also offensive to the vast majority of creatures that f_ck.
The old bait and switch trick on a gargantuan scale.
The server does exist, but as I understand it, U.S. investigators have already imaged it. So the FBI already has every bit of data off of the server.
In other words, there is no missing server. Thereâs no physical box locked away in a vault somewhere. There are simply copies of what the DNCâs systems looked like at the time of the attack, which both CrowdStrike and the DNC confirm were shared with the FBI during the investigation, no U-Haul required.
I think the sales guy at Aaronâs Rents set it all up.
Iâd long presumed it was a question of image vs hardware, but I had no idea that the actual origin of that myth was also literally its own debunking.
Quid Pro Quo is the new Collusion.
Weâve reached the âWe Crimed but, everyone does it, itâs normal so nothing to see hereâ defence?
All roads lead to Putin.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good narrative. These folks have to keep their base outraged and most of them donât understand this stuff anyway. So they can be told whatever is necessary and never challenge the source.
Cognitive dissonance will prevent any of them of believing anything the media or you and I can tell them. All that matters is what comes from Trump and his henchmen. Theyâll say and do anything to survive.
Latin is the secret language of Communists, so, you know, this doesnât count.
