I swear he had a blog or podcast about news topics and journalism but darn if I can find i

Grandparents?? Yikes. What I wouldn't do to have Tom back on my parents tv. All three were fantastic and had such a level of integrity above our corporate anchors of today.

I've never seen this show but I have trouble reading it without a thick, English accent.

Here in the US they wouldn't even have the shame to drop out.

If by some miracle we don't lose this country, it will be all of these efforts combined that turned the tide.

Closeted, yes. Friendly, no.

Wonderful people, may I present you with our great savior who greased the wheels through lobbying to shove the most glutinous, polluting and debt-ridden garbage down our throats for decades. May he save us from ourselves!

She would have been such a great choice. Completely unassailable from all sides and sharp as a tack.

Yeah hard sell on the whiney voice too

Stacey or Kamala?

She's not worse than Biden but not great. He should have chosen Stacey Abrams.

I was assuming the comment I was replying to was satire

Or better yet don't vote. Let fascism have a swing at it. I'm sure 207 soulless horse traders can do better than 62.

I'd be willing to take a wild guess and say that at least 30+ of those new vessels are small support boats.

It's good they've finally got bullied into building affordable EVs. Still to be seen what they consider affordable my guess is the $30-35k mark. Also will they make smaller, reasonable cars or just platform the bulky SUVs?

Well shit. That is what I remember. All my searches: 'russia hack RNC', 'republican hack' , 'RNC hack', etc. were flooded with 2021 results from a different hack. Nothing from WikiLeaks, DCLeaks, Gucifer, 2016 presidential hack, or 2016 Russia interference yielded anything fruitful.

Thank you! At least I feel less crazy.

I'd be sad too if I lost my precious

I think you were perfectly reserved in your response. It helped me not dig in or just blow it off and not respond. Thanks!

You're right. I absolutely cannot find that wikileaks had RNC info. I've searched quite a bit determined to find what I remember but nada.

There is this but about DCLeaks having but releasing a bit of republican info on Trump's primary challengers

On August 12, 2016, DCLeaks released roughly 300 emails from Republican targets, including the 2016 campaign staff of Arizona Senator John McCain, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, and 2012 presidential candidate and former Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann.[13] The release included 18 emails from the Illinois Republican Party.[18]

But that is not what I remember and certainly doesn't help my case.

I apologize. Either my memory fails me or I was mislead (or both). Certainly does not refute Assange being a channel for Russia to get trump elected but does make me look like a tool.

If the goal is winning hearts and minds I can't say he's doing much more than yada yada...status quo...yada yada some bullshit Russian talking point.
