  4. FBI delivers subpoenas to several Pa. Republican lawmakers: sources say Federal investigators delivered subpoenas or paid visits to several House and Senate Republican offices in the Pennsylvania Capitol on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to multiple sources. At least some of the individuals receiving subpoenas were told they were not targets of an investigation, according to at least six sources reached by PennLive, but that they may have information of interest to the FBI. All of the sources had been briefed on the investigative moves in some way, but demanded anonymity in order to discuss them. The information being requested centered around U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., and the effort to seek alternate electors as part of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in office after the 2020 election, several sources said. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/08/fbi-delivers-subpoenas-to-several-pa-republican-lawmakers-sources-say.html
  5. Meta's latest AI chatbot has mixed feelings about CEO Mark Zuckerberg: "It is funny that he has all this money and still wears the same clothes!" https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/metas-latest-ai-chatbot-has-mixed-feelings-about-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-it-is-funny-that-he-has-all-this-money-and-still-wears-the-same-clothes/articleshow/93380653.cms Link to chatbot in the article. Like most of these bots, I got bored with it pretty quickly.
  6. Indeed. I notice the right has also decided to take and use the phrase "Banana Republic." With the usual complete lack of self awareness. The accusation/confession meme here.

  8. Meta also owns Instagram and Whatsapp. And fuck Nebraska. Goddamn.
  9. Sounds like this is the thread for this: https://newrepublic.com/article/167351/ron-desantis-lgbtq-trans-florida-republicans
  10. another one I read recently that I enjoyed. its a long read www.currentaffairs.org/2022/04/noam-chomsky-on-how-to-prevent-world-war-iii you may not agree with everything in it, but its a good representation of the overall world view. Fair enough. Again, apologies for any perceived slight.
  11. The dismissal of Russia and diplomatic attempts seemed very Western thought to me. I didn't mean it as a slight. @Serak The Preparer I hope I haven't presented myself as an expert. I do enjoy reading expert thoughts that don't always align (such as Chomsky) with the majority of thought in this country.
  12. Nope. Did not ignore Russia's choices. But it is strange that you're accusing myself ( and Chomksy?) of a Western centric view and then the rest of your paragraph gives a very Western centric take on the entire affair. What is the alternative to some form of diplomacy that we are not even attempting? To, as former ambassador Chas Freeman puts it "fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian?"
  13. I think of you as a sincere poster, so I'll respond to you, although you may find it disappointing. The "urgent diplomacy" line in that article I believe came from the interviewer. This is a decent summary, I believe of Chomsky's thoughts on the matter: https://scheerpost.com/2022/06/17/noam-chomsky-in-ukraine-diplomacy-has-been-ruled-out/ Entire thing worth a read. Esp for the background. I think the correct 'response' is too late. However, could there have been provocations prior (detailed better in that article than I could do myself) that perhaps should not have taken place? I can't answer your question as to exactly what that diplomacy would look like, but what I think doesn't really matter. As Chomsky points out, we won't choose it. We will choose war. We will keep the machine churning
  14. in the longer version of that interview he apparently also stated that "There are conversations on the phone stating that Jones & Infowars had a back channel for communicating with Ted Cruz"
  15. Trump real estate appraiser hands over thousands of documents to N.Y. AG in civil probe https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/08/trump-real-estate-appraiser-hands-over-thousands-of-documents-to-ny-ag-in-civil-probe.html He's having a great week! The best week!
  16. I'm not the first to point this out at all. But I keep coming back to there are multiple illegal things dude did to pick from. We've been so inured to him getting away with it we're all speculating as to which thing they went after him for.
  17. Is Chomsky a Putin propagandist? As to Hedges: But go ahead and disregard everything he has to say. Go Merica. Go CIA. We were always at war with Eurasia.
