Yeah, I thought we were past Rahm but i'm anticipating him being involved in some way. I don't know too much about him but the bit I do know makes me not like him.
I mean,CIA gonna CIA. Decades late on it mattering who's in charge. He sucks but I'd rather have a lightning rod at the head of the CIA than some dullard that's easy to ignore. Maybe people won't be so swayed by plausable deniability arguments.

lol yeah I mean I dont have a short list of people I'd want in the job.
Before you knock this guy, does he check off any IDpol boxes? Looks like an old white guy but maybe hes the first old white guy to run the CIA? Worth investigating
Rittenhouse is on state charges and hasn't been convicted of anything. So pretty sure he can't be pardoned.
When the GOP (see Gaetz and others) are saying Trump should pardon himself now (without charges/being convicted of anything) I just feel like they really don't care about the rules or precedents. These are the fucks that pardoned Arapaio and then he wanted to get his guilty conviction overturned, despite that not being how any of this works.
I can't keep giving them the benefit of "Well that's not how it's done" anymore lol

A pardon requires admission of guilt, and then there's a loss of fifth amendment protections against self incrimination, so...that could arguably help any state cases against him.

Again...just because "that's not how it works" doesn't mean they won't try it (or even succeed). We've watched the past 4 years how much they have eroded the way things are supposed to function and get away with it. They'd probably try to find some way around that shit but still declare innocence lol. They're evil and don't act in good faith.

Ten minutes in and the conspiracy theories are flying wild. Talk of a cia server in germany, how iran and china worked together this help biden, how they wouldn't let people watch the polls, how sidney powell was distanced from the white house because she would have more power on her own (not that she was accusing the republicans in georgia of being part of the conspiracy), and more. Apparently they think the military is going to rush in and start arresting democrats and shit. It's fucking nuts

I don't know how you're able to do it.
A sad part for me is that I'm sure your Thanksgiving isn't special. There are plenty of households having the same arguments. At least you haven't fallen in line with that insanity.
On a related note, one of my conservative Facebook friends posted a photo of a sign that said something like "I won't report my neighbors for gathering with their families" Who the fuck you gonna report them to? The police? You live in the South.
There’s a guy I worked with that I follow on socials who posts all about how we have a right to peacefully gather and I’m like okay dude sure but what are you trying to prove? That you can kill your grandma? Sick

Yeah, it's rough. I just bite my tongue because (especially in this specific case) I'm literally the only one who is on the other side. They all are just so uninformed and don't trust the media of any kind.
They're shitting all over Cuomo, which...whatever. I don't particularly like him and he's mishandled the virus for sure. But the fact that they can look at Cuomo and Fauci and others as bungling this whole thing but defend Trump for "what he did with that ship" and how "he got NY everything they asked for" is so frustrating.
Hearing my dad say things like "I don't need the media to tell me..." and "Well...on some of the sites that I go to they said 1 in 7 voters in swing states didn't know anything about Biden and his son and....."
It's just so draining. Every few minutes conversations shift from nice and wholesome talking about our dogs or someone's job or whatever into something angry about coronavirus/how nobody knows what they're talking about or about Trump/Biden/the election. It's the worst. And the thing is....I don't completely disagree with some things but it's when they start to lead into conspiracy theories that I KNOW are debunked many times over that I can't handle it. They complain about Cuomo and whatever...I agree he and DeBlasio didn't do their best. Shit...I'm sick of seeing these Democrats who tell others "don't gather together or travel" repeatedly getting caught doing what they say others shouldn't do. That's all fine to point out.
My dad pointing out how the college basketball game doesn't really make sense to him seeing as how when they're on the court they're sweating and bumping into each other and all that but when they sub out the seats are spaced far apart and people will put on masks. I FULLY AGREE that doesn't make much sense to me.
But then it's "The mask doesn't work at all....in fact they say it hurts things" and "The flu has been around for decades so...." and "I'm not going to get the vaccine. You can't trust any of them (meaning scientists like Fauci)."
Eating soon then probably hiding away for a bit.
Edit: Another one: ".....and that's why the electoral college is so important....."
They also put up one of those "Cuomo is watching" face things that were going around in NY restaurants and bars.
If I was in that situation, I'd gtfo and tell them when they're over their bullshit, please do contact me because I enjoy interacting with family and sane people. Luckily the few wingnuts we have in the family generally know better than to cross me with their bullshit.
Are we supposed to feel bad for the corrupt oil executives who are in prison?
What I read pretty much states that they're not corrupt. They were called to Venezuela for a meeting, there was no meeting they were immediately arrested.
