I have never been banned, I don't remember seeing Breccia banned either. Of course since this post is technically talking about moderation, I will probably get banned for this one.

Been infracted twice in the past 2 days for talking about it.

Also been infracted for telling someone they were posting a conspiracy theory and explaining why it was a conspiracy theory. But the guy who posted the conspiracy theory didn't. Selective enforcement....

Plot twist, Shalker is Thwart's alt...... Would explain a lot.

Recent Mueller filings show that Kilimnik is a focus of the investigation. With Gates not being sentenced just yet, it's likely that Mueller is going after Trump's campaign manager for working directly with the Russians. Anything from polling data to the Trump Tower meeting could be involved.

Has Don Jr made it back from Canada?

For fuck's sake, with all of those crossed out names maybe it really is time to start sending those complaints to the higher-ups. This is getting ridiculous.

OT: I was really surprised with the extension on Gates' sentencing date, but those filings kind of make the picture a bit clearer now. Looks like there's even more to the story to ferret out. Does this feel magnitudes bigger than Watergate to anyone else or does it just feel that way because I'm currently living through it?

Which is a win for Trump, the Republicans, and the Russians. (If there's even a difference between the last two anymore.)

Shalker can't post anything if they have no posts to respond to with their generic retort of an empty words fallacy.

Already submitted mine this morning when the first wave hit.

I sent a 'Contact Us' complaint. Might not be the same as what you did.

Look, guys. Stick to the actual thread topic and send complaints to admins with the Contact Us form. Derailing these threads for multiple pages whenever specific users get banned isn't acceptable. It never has been. Neither is discussing moderation which you are all aware of.

The derails are going to result in further infractions/bans as long as they keep going on, so please just stay on topic like a handful of users have been trying to.

The crucial part imo is for the Greens in Europe to shut up and let us use nuclear to get rid of our energy dependence on the gas station called Russia. Then and only then can Europe really act against them financially.

I agree in principle.

In practice, we are expanding our sole Russian-built nuclear plant - with a Russian contractor, paid for by a Russian loan. Let's say I'm not happy that my government revels in being Putin's Trojan Horse.

I mean they do offer the most options and they probably did the best job at bribery. The Germans probably have a couple of companies that could have done the work as well though.

Sure, and that's not even half the problem. We're getting reactors that were already obsolote when one blew up in Chernobyl.

Germans already lost all expertise once they shut down their own nuclear plants.

Russia is literally world #1 at building nuclear plants (on foreign soil, China is #1 at numbers being built locally), with best financing options.

Yeesh, that Giuliani spot is rough...

When he first emerged as Trump's "attorney" (I guess sometime last year), he was so bad that there were some people wondering if he was actually bombing on purpose to sabotage Trump because of some sort of secret personal vendetta.

It looks like he and Trump think that they can finagle all this by trolling and misdirecting with these manifestly wacky outbursts, but he's also seemed to disappear for periods of time in-between. I wonder how Trump thinks Giuliani's doing when he sees these appearances. I think that some of them he must be happy with (he's fighting hard for me), but I suspect that some of them have been found lacking. I don't know how you watch someone struggle defending you like this and not be alarmed. He's backpedaling on "No collusion!" when he doesn't have to (but maybe that's not an accident), he's saying that Trump had no interest in a policy platform at the convention and only cared about his acceptance speech, and admitting (or claiming) that he himself has very limited knowledge of the details of the events and people in question. But he did hit on what they probably feel are very important points about the NYT, unethical leaking, and Trump's supposed separation from any of the charged individuals.

VVER-1200 is generation III+ reactor, far from being obsolete.

We are. They are not even getting acknowledged. No "We're looking into it" or "Yeah, that one was janky". Work with us, if we're supposed to work with you.

Steele was not a private eye though. He was a British cold war spy specialized on Russia.

Yeah, was. He retired from the SIS almost 10 years ago and opened his own outfit.

It's felt that way since slightly after trump said the trump tower meeting was about adoptions. That piece of information and jr's release of the 'I love it' email chain basically said the trumps met with russian agents to discuss a quid pro quo of sanctions relief (adoption sanctions were retaliatory sanctions from russia in response to the magnitsky sanctions) for help with the election at the least. Watergate never involved a hostile foreign power.
