I was like a day late, but Glen Greenwald once again showing his ass and prevaricating about the Russia investigation only for Marcy Wheeler to randomly show up and wreck it is probably my favorite low key event I stumbled across on Twitter this week.
link? I'm always game for Greenwald looking like an asshole.

He just started off with his normal routine of letting everyone know he's smarter than other liberals by regurgitating the laziest right-wing talking points about Russia and Marcy was apparently feeling trollish and just started chipping away at him over the course of a couple hours and it was clear for most of it Glenn didn't realize how silly he was starting to look.

It's hard to really piece together because Marcy was jumping in and out with other conversations. Most of the fun stuff was just her prodding him over his various forms of topic ignorance and him moving goalposts to try and win something.

I mean Trump blatantly comitted obstruction of justice.. which is 1 part of Muellers probe... (that is the topic here right? confused why Epstein got brougth up)

There's pretty much zero chance Mueller's report won't indicate Trump broke the law.

I personally doubt he's directly connected to anything Russia related but that's not all Mueller is investigating.

I don't understand why you think it matters if he broke the law or not.

Quote

The Supreme Court unanimously overturned former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell’s public-corruption conviction Monday and imposed higher standards for federal prosecutors who charge public officials with wrongdoing.

McDonnell’s promising political career was derailed by his entanglement with a businessman who showered the governor and his family with luxury gifts and financial benefits. McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, were indicted and convicted after he left office in January 2014.

The McDonnell case stemmed from more than $175,000 in loans and gifts — a Rolex watch, vacations, partial payments for a daughter’s wedding reception among them — that the governor and his family received from Richmond businessman Jonnie R. Williams Sr. Williams, then the chief executive of Star Scientific, wanted state universities to perform important clinical tests on a dietary supplement the company had developed.

But I guess that would've been too controversial for Stephen Colbert's comedy show for the easily offended and triggered.

Quote

“Judge” Jeanine Pirro does not plan to repay nearly $600,000 in debts accrued during her ill-fated run for the U.S. Senate, her still-active campaign committee told federal regulators this week.

An attorney for Pirro, who now hosts a Fox News program popular with President Donald Trump, told the Federal Election Commission that the hundreds of thousands of dollars she still owes to a host of campaign vendors “are not collectible” due to a six-year statute of limitations for the collection of contractual debts under New York State law.

Quote

Pirro racked up those hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt during a failed bid for the Republican nomination to challenge then-Sen. Hillary Clinton in 2006. Though Pirro dropped out of the race after only a few months, her campaign committee remains active to this day. The committee stopped filing legally required reports with the FEC in 2012, despite repeated reminders from the commission.

The measles outbreak in the Pacific Northwest now has 70 confirmed cases, The Oregonian reported Saturday, with 65 of those cases coming from Clark County, Oregon, where the outbreak began on Jan. 1. Four more instances of the disease, which had been all-but eradicated in the U.S., have been reported in nearby Multnomah County, and one has been reported in Seattle, Washington. Out of Clark County’s 65 cases, The Oregonian notes, 57 of the patients had not been vaccinated against the highly contagious disease. The outbreak has become a flashpoint in the ever-growing controversy over vaccinations: despite overwhelming evidence that the MMR vaccine is safe, some parents are refusing to vaccinate their children over fears that the immunization could led to autism or diseases like encephalitis.

Quote

Reddit banned its largest community focused on the fringe conspiracy theory Qanon on Wednesday, claiming the subreddit was cut off “due to repeated violations of the terms of our content policy.”

The community, called /r/GreatAwakening, had more than 71,000 subscribers making over 10,000 comments on average per day before it was banned. A backup subreddit, /r/the_greatawakening, was also banned, along with 17 other Qanon focused communities, including r/BiblicalQ and r/Quincels.

The subreddit, which is a term for the common interest groups that make up Reddit, has been host to a stream of violent threats based on the conspiracy theory — despite repeated calls from the community’s moderators urging them to stop, particularly in recent weeks. Qanon devotees falsely believe that President Donald Trump is secretly waging a war with special counsel Robert Mueller to take down a global pedophile ring led by Hollywood celebrities and the Democratic Party, most notably Hillary Clinton.
