  • Look, don’t destroy my hopes for seeing a revolution from people doing silly walks. Things are awful, gotta have some levity in there.

    Also, more seriously, never underestimate the US governments willingness to embrace a half-baked technology and willingness to embrace false positives as positives.

    See also: Airport x-ray body scanners, polygraphs, “non-lethal” bean bag/rubber plug guns that are totally lethal if you use them “wrong,” and also more recently in the words of ICE Director Tom Homan “they don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody briefly detain them and question them … based on location, occupation, their physical appearance.”



  • You’re right, it’s not news so much as that the Clintons come from an era of politics where merely embarrassing things are still kept on the down-low. Especially considering the continued influence of 1990’s Clinton-era politicking on the Democratic party. Even Obama couldn’t really break that hold, as seen by Hillary being given the Secretary of State position during Obama’s tenure and then running and losing after Obama. There was actually a lot of evidence at the time that the DNC was basically broke and was living off of the generosity of the Clinton foundation. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, chair of the DNC from 2011 to 2016, was literally in Hillary Clinton’s pocket. While Bill Clinton himself is not particularly important as a figure these days, the family influence continues to extend deep into nearly every facet of the Democratic party, and as such, Democrats are unlikely to bite the hands that feed them so to speak.
