  • As much as I hate Roger Stone and think he should go to prison for many other reasons, can somebody point out the timestamp in the video where he says he’s “plotting a coup for November”? I watched the whole thing and all I got was him shit-talking Bill Burr and Jared Kushner, and some toothless bullshit about state-based lawsuits, which will fly just as miserably as it did in 2020. Then they talked about Harris’ ethicity, and whether it’s a good political argument for the campaign or not.

    Honestly, it’s this reporter who’s trying really really fucking hard to put words in his mouth, and Roger is being very careful about the direction of the conversation, while still entertaining this fake supporter’s arguments. This whole article stinks of some undercover reporter getting a lukewarm interview and trying to turn it into some sensational headline.

    This video isn’t “damning” at all. Bullshit headlines like this makes all of the actual investigative journalism look bad.





  • Anybody that understands politics understands that the two-party system is shit. They also understand that unless both parties agree that they don’t like it and want to willingly allow more competing parties to sabotage their own efforts, it will never change.

    So, saying that US democracy is fucked just because of that is a load of bullshit. Almost all democracies have two-party systems like that. Not even fucking Canada wanted to change their FPTP system, even when conservatives were abusing the system for 15 years. It was so bad that liberal voters in 2014 election had to tell their other liberal like-minded candidates “Yes, we like you, and we like your policies, but for the sake of the country’s future, we have to vote for Trudeau.”
