Loose? Are you uninformed or purposefully spreading disinformation?

Finally, the Committee's bipartisan Report shows that almost immediately following Election Day in 2016, the Trump transition responded to Russia's election interference not by supporting punitive action, but rather by holding a series of secretive meetings and communications with Russian representatives that served to undercut the outgoing administration's efforts to hold Russia accountable. The transition's openness to this private Russian outreach prior to taking office, so soon after Russia's interference on Trump's behalf, combined with Trump publicly questioning Russia's involvement, signaled that there was little intention by the incoming administration to punish Russia for the assistance it had just provided in its unprecedented attack on American democracy."

I have no idea if it tipped the scales either and I agree we'll never know. But it seems important to point out the fact that the Trump campaign consistently cooperated with a hostile foreign government. If you want to call that "pushing russiagate"... Sure? I guess?

They failed to learn there lesson in 2016 and now here we are.

You realize they won in 2020, right? So, did Dems learn a lesson which won them 2020 and then forget this time around? It kinda seems like you're just spewing nonsense.

All your base are belong to us

How do you define Russiagate?

Are you saying Russia didn't/does not meddle in elections? Or that Trump and his team didn't have ties to it? Or that Russian influence didn't actually tip the scales? Or something else?

Just before the election I was still coming across people absolutely incensed that Biden hadn't fixed the college loan issue yet.

The fact that it kept getting blocked by Trump judges was completely fucking lost on them. OK cool... Now he gets to appoint more. That should help /s

I have to say, the thought crossed my mind. But Dems could never pull it off.

I would hope that's because we won't stand for it. All I could think reading one of the previous threads on this letter was "these people are just as dumb as MAGAs but in the other direction".

There's nothing confusing about it IMO.

I don’t really differentiate photos from other types of files.

I use restic to back up to Wasabi.

Edit: I'm actually considering changing this setup.

I'm thinking of using Wasabi as backend storage to hold my encrypted files using rclone compatible encryption. Use rclone on your desktop and then something like S3 Drive on mobile which can access rclone encrypted files.

S3 Drive has a nice photo auto-upload feature. I've only played with it on iOS which, as I understand it, is quite a bit less feature-full as compared to the Android version. Stuff like this might actually have me switching back to Android, TBH.

Was always a gimmick IMO.

I understand.

Consider now what you might do if selected for a jury for someone who [censored] one of these KKK/nazi guys.

Know what jury nullification is but don’t advertise your knowledge.

Yeah and a giant meteor could crush me tonight in my sleep.

Anyway, see you tomorrow.

Sure. Agreed.

That doesn’t change the fact.

I made no claim about the mechanics of it. Only the outcome.

Wait, so now it’s not a false dichotomy?

Funny. I was told that was a false dichotomy before the most recent election too.

Somehow I just continue being proved right. This is my cross to bear.

Sounds about right.

It’s just too much to expect lots of you to simply evaluate an idea on its merits.

See you in 2028 when the Dem or Rep wins again.

Hey I’ll likely be fine. Better off than the people you identified in your comment.

I’m a cis white male who makes ~$250k/yr.

The ones who sat at home are likely going to be much worse off.

At least it’s gonna be very hard to make the brain dead “both sides” argument over the next 4 years.

I can go ahead and call 2028 for you now.

It’s gonna be the Dem or Rep nominee.

It is binary. If you believe another outcome is likely, let’s bet money.

lol. Slightly.

I’ll remember this thread when abortions are banned nationwide.

Seriously. What the fuck TechCrunch?

What are the chances they were building a laptop?
