Week Two of Defuckerize America. The most obvious candidate for imminent defuckerization is Steve Bannon (Go USPS!). He needs a Lifetime Achievement Award for "Worst Single Collection of Things Called Films" and best "Before" Homeless Makeover Model. thedailybeast.com/i-watched-all-…
"Justice officials say they expected criticism over the delay in making a decision on the Bannon criminal referral, Garland has established a methodical approach to making decisions, aware that the department will be criticized no matter which way it goes."cnn.com/2021/11/06/pol…
Speaking of people telling the DoJ to stick it. Sam Nunberg (how quickly we forgot "The Full Nunberg") explains why Trump needed the right wing junk news crowd and the evangelicals in his camp. And yes he relented and testified.
Good point. Matthew Graves looks like he has the smarts and stamina to chainsaw through all the bullshit.

Apparently travel is back. Although I can guarantee you is going to much less fun that it used to be during the pandemic. It should also be time for listicles on "Dangerous Places" and "Forbidden Places". news.com.au/travel/destina…
Bored interns are tasked with googling things that seem dangerous with no apparent knowledge whether they are safe or not. For example none of these listicle places are actually dangerous. traveltriangle.com/blog/most-dang…
Not to be outdone, this blog goes all the way to "incredibly dangerous". Reality? there are group travel packages to all these nations. Yes even Afghanistan and Syria. explorersweb.com/2021/01/05/the…

Those obsessed with the stern merkined one's investigation into FISA abuse re Steele should remember that FISAs are to investigate espionage as (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) and the Office of the Inspector General has been down this road before. justice.gov/storage/120919…
There was deep suspicion that specific members of Trump's team were not only in contact with foreign agents (aka spies) but might even be getting paid by them with the end state being infiltration and manipulation of our government. justice.gov/nsd-fara/frequ…
Turns out that the FBI was correct. They just didn't shoot high or wide enough. Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner had sent a friend Rick Gerson to the Seychelles to set up a "back channel" with Putin. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

Week one in #Defuckerize America. Is someone finally letting the stink out? Go team. cnbc.com/2021/11/06/fbi…
It's not just about a diary. It is most likely about a coordinated effort to attack, blackmail and degrade the authority of elected or appointed U.S. officials. Many of the individuals in this week's activities have direct links to towhead. theweek.com/speedreads/982…
FYI. For every new indictment story about how terrible and uncredible people are....there is always an older Trump story. Image

What if there is no optimal..even with super computers and AI? Polynomial optimization problem in artificial intelligence means we may be back to just winging it. Why is this important? Let's find out. quantamagazine.org/surprising-lim…
Researchers from the University of Bath and York St John University found that, since the 1980s, millennial's obsession with perfection has increased by a third, which they blame on the impact of neoliberal economics. Say What? apa.org/pubs/journals/…
Neoliberialism. A 19th century idea that has destroyed many nations and built others. An idea that "maintains that “the market” delivers benefits that could never be achieved by planning." AKA stupid greedy people in charge. Where else is this being used? theguardian.com/books/2016/apr…

Steele “Subsource” in trouble. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
FYI: Igor's wiki page is a labor of love by an anonymous person named "Codyave". Not sure why the Merkined one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Danc…
Trump's links to Israeli/Russian gangsters are solid. You could do an entire dossier on how concrete, the mob and Trump tower. Or on the Gulf Arabs and Trump or on the Ukraine and Trump. The problem was Steele's focus was on gossip from Russia to prove Trump a sleaze bag.

Saw a depressing but informative 2018 documentary by a Scotsman about the Ku Klux Klan. It would have been hard to believe that 30,000 klansmen marched down Pennsylvania Avenue on August 8, 1925 but it happened. A lot of Klan narratives still exist. gettyimages.com/detail/video/l…
"Who Put the Klan Into Ku Klux Klan" is on Prime. Hosted by archaeologist and historian Neil Oliver. Oliver's goal is to explore the Scottish origins of the group and its morphing into a violent racist group. His outsider view of America is valuable.
You can see the mass hysteria of a fictional foe that we see today. Often with violent consequences. Definitely worth a watch. history.com/news/kkk-birth…
