Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

This whole episode can be summed up to 'criminal voting' plus a double helping of hypocrisy.

The US has done more election meddling that any other country post WW2, and the methods are largely far worse than whatever the Russians are accused of doing.

Russia isn't innocent in this, but they are currently flexing diplomatic muscles in a fairer way, deception rather than coercion.

As for criminal voting, its just a term I use here for how multitudes of Americans voting Trump into office must somehow be someones elses fault, and that fault is actionable because people are angry or embarassed at the outcome. Democracy is, the vote was valid, people voted for Trump, there are myriad reasons why, but the fact is the American people did that, not the Russians, it is their result, and should own it.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Ok, I know that the mods will freak because US politics, but hear me out, this may effect the whole damn world.

I'm still waiting to hear why a common political practice (i.e. trying to influence an election abroad) undertaken by virtually every nation of stature over the last century, is suddenly groundbreakingly global enough to justify breaching the US politics ban. Because y'know, it isn't just in place until BaronIveagh feels passionately enough about a specific US political subject to override it.


Yes.

Sorry it took me this long - it is the weekend though.
