Popular Post peterms Posted October 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2018 5 hours ago, villakram said: Soros is a known political operator, and hence is fair game to attack. There is no need to bring another -ism into the rotten debate atmosphere we currently reside in. That's a fair point, but it's also true that "Soros" is used as dogwhistle shorthand by the far right not to refer to one man but to suggest a Jewish cabal exercising unfair, disproportionate and inappropriate influence. Often used, oddly, by the same people who are quite comfortable with the Israeli state exercising exactly that influence. It's all a bit confused. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Does anyone have any reliable source about the FBI report? I have read over the last day or two, in various places, that the report ran to about 1,000 pages (there or thereabouts?), that only one copy was made available to senators, and that they had one hour to read it. Plainly these things cannot be true, as even the most shameless banana republic would not stoop so low. But what is the truth of the way senators were apprised of the results of the investigation? Does anyone have a reliable source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 I understand there's a case coming up that will judge whether a President has the power to pardon crimes at a state level. Now call me cynical, but I think I know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what they said, everything you have said above is true, except the length of the report (it was much shorter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was imagining a report of undrr 10 pages, most of which would be title page, contents, list of contributors...like a poor version of a 14 year old's homework. I don't see how they can produce 1000 pages without speaking to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partially... he is the big public funder on the left, as opposed to say Koch/Adelson on the right. It's not a specifically anti-jew thing when it comes to Soros. He is also Jewish so, see the attacks on that famous interview he gave regarding his actions as a youth or the constant allusion to his robbing of the honest British taxpayer, Agenda 21 or that wonderful globalist slur. It is certainly confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that they never mention the Koch brothers and their well documented and far-reaching influence. Politics is basically sports to these people. Everything my team does is great and everything the opposing team does is the worst. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people this side of the Atlantic are incapable of adding much to the US political debate because it's way beyond anything we could conceive as 'normal'. Increase access to health care: bad Protect lone gunmen with semi automatic rifles: good When those are the vote winning arguments, we're not in the same game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
