The thing about tribalism is that it walks hand in glove with otherism. When your worldview is constructed around "us" versus "others," the tribe ends up getting a long damn leash.

Get rid of NATO, the WTO, and other parts of the post-WW2 order, and the EU by itself ain't gonna do shit. But European integration in general is how you avoid world-spanning conflicts.

When Europe ignites, the world burns.

So you do not think that the UN is a better substitute than the EU as the third leg?

Faults and all, I think its a more respected institution globally when you are talking about Africa, Asia (not sure about South/Latin America). I see getting rid of NATO and WTO and the UN still has a chance to "do shit" by itself.

That's pretty funny.

I wanted to see the reaction of the GOP members while this exchange was happening. I found a video but it didn't pan to the other members unfortunately.

Quote:
John Schnatter—the founder and public face of pizza chain Papa John’s—used the N-word on a conference call in May. Schnatter confirmed the incident in an emailed statement to Forbes on Wednesday. He resigned as chairman of Papa John's on Wednesday evening.

The call was arranged between Papa John’s executives and marketing agency Laundry Service. It was designed as a role-playing exercise for Schnatter in an effort to prevent future public-relations snafus. Schnatter caused an uproar in November 2017 when he waded into the debate over national anthem protests in the NFL and partly blamed the league for slowing sales at Papa John’s.

On the May call, Schnatter was asked how he would distance himself from racist groups online. He responded by downplaying the significance of his NFL statement. “Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s,” Schnatter said, before complaining that Sanders never faced public backlash.

Schnatter also reflected on his early life in Indiana, where, he said, people used to drag African-Americans from trucks until they died. He apparently intended for the remarks to convey his antipathy to racism, but multiple individuals on the call found them to be offensive, a source familiar with the matter said. After learning about the incident, Laundry Service owner Casey Wasserman moved to terminate the company’s contract with Papa John’s.

In an emailed statement on Wednesday afternoon, Schnatter confirmed the allegations. "News reports attributing the use of inappropriate and hurtful language to me during a media training session regarding race are true," he said. "Regardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society."

This new GOP standard of investigators can't show any bias against those they are investigating is going to have profound impacts at the state and local level.

Mueller indicts a dozen Russian intelligence folks, including naming Guccifer 2.0.

Roger Stone has already admitted to emailing Guccifer. They're getting closer.

Look, no, you know what?

The UN is not a "more respected institution" globally. It isn't any kind of a model for integration, particularly because the Security Council is essentially a giant pissing contest. Any of the permanent members can veto anything that comes before the Council, so it's essentially been a proxy for national interest power games between the US and Russia/the USSR for the last 70 years.

That doesn't mean it doesn't have a place in the world order, but the EU is better for European stability than the UN, as currently constituted, ever could be.

Next time try to focus on what's being discussed instead of moving goalposts. That's obnoxious.

I don't think he has a pattern of racist statements, but he definitely has a pattern of saying really dumb things (and quite possibly being either an alcoholic or a lush).

Also, maybe it was partly a moral stand, but I also assume as a marketing/PR agency they just realized "holy shit, if this is how he talks when we're trying to explain to him how to handle the issue with the media, it's only a matter of time until he gets embroiled in new controversies" and the headache/potential damage to their reputation having a client like that just isn't worth the contract.

Yeah, the PR firm leaving seemed to be more of the same "we're just cutting our losses now before we get caught up in the zero tolerance/knee jerk reaction crowd" momentum. Their comment was something along the lines of differing with him on how to address his PR difficulties.

I'm not sure I understand your "moving goal post" statement. I guess its because you think I snuck UN in there? My original response in #11177 was:

Quote:
NATO relevance has declined but since we are in a pseudo/beginnings of a new cold war, I'll buy it. I can also see WTO with a process to resolve economic/trade issues.

EU goes a little too far. Regional peace maybe but don't see global peace. I would put the UN before the EU.

Good point. Probably some moral and also some business sense in cutting their losses early.

Based on the names in Mueller's indictment today, we can safely call the investigation a vich hunt.

I think with the new indictments out today, things are going to be moving very quickly on Trump/Russia. Rumor is that the Freedom Caucus is going to impeach Rosenstein may be as soon as Monday, we'll have to see what Mueller has planned if that happens:

Would be a dumb move by the GOP. Zero chance the impeachment would ever be successful and would likely help Dems quite a bit in mid-terms.

The fact that trump is the person the Republicans are ready to die on a hill for is so strange.

I'd do anything for a chance to vote for a Republican who actually gives a damn about an America that extends beyond the future their eyes will see. A real Republican, one from the days when the Democrats were all about small government.

It confuses me how that switch even happened.

The way those indictments lay out names, times, even search terms used, should scare the shit out of all the Trump folks.

They did it and Mueller knows how.

Was Giuliani out on the talk circuit today (or will be he tomorrow)? If not, I think we might have some guesses as to why.



I'm trying not to speculate about what we don't know, just to keep from having an expectation about what might be there. So it's quite eye opening when these little bits come out about what they do know, and it seems to be much more detailed than I was expecting.

Latest tweet from him was this today. None of the regular tweeters I follow are talking about him being on any talk shows that I can see:


"Congressman Steve Cohen wants to give biased renegade Agent Strzok the Purple Heart. Now he wants to impeach the President even though DOJ disclosed that the latest indictments yield no evidence of American involvement. This is pathological.:


Appararently, he's been off twitter since 2016.

So some idiot on Twitter posted a picture of a rally in London supporting Tommy Robinson (white supremacist) and Trump, claiming it was larger than the anti-Trump rally, and won't be covered by MSM as a result. Of course it would help if the picture was in London. It's not, its in Cairo Egypt and has a lot of people praying..and not to Trump I can guarantee.

Schnatters defense is that he got in trouble because he wouldn't say n!@#@!

Quote:
“Believe it or not, Terry, the agency was promoting that vocabulary, and that [word]. And I made it real clear, listen, we’re not gonna go there, we’re not gonna talk about this. And they pushed me and it upset me, and I just said ‘listen, other people have used that word. I don’t, and will not use that word and people at Papa John’s don’t use that.’ And that was the comment. But they actually wanted to get into that vocabulary, and I said absolutely not.

You should really read through the indictment. It's fascinating in how advanced Russia is in cyber warfare. Much further ahead than we are.

https://www.vox.com/2018/7/13/175688...ment-full-text

I thought one of the interesting things was how they took defunct local papers and created Facebook pages for them. Then linked out to legit stories and built up followings. Like the Chicago Daily News hasn't existed since the 70's but still had a semi-recognizable name. They got a lot of followers.

They have been actively using, learning, and adapting cyber war with the Ukraine for well over a decade, in the field. There's next to no risk for them in that battle. I'm guessing that the US has some pretty good work behind the scenes too, but I'd rather just know it's there and not hear about it in a world court or in Newsweek.

Yeah, part of being good at this stuff is not having your successes and techniques known by everyone in the world.

I doubt they are more advanced than the US and I'm sure most of America's exploits remain unknown.

That was quite the Q&A session. Not sure how you go to work tomorrow if you are Dan Coates or others in intelligence.

So the american president just pretty much sold out all american intelligence agencies and sided with the foreign power at fault based on a single one on one talk. And Germany is the one wholly in Russia's pocket he said
