It's motivated reasoning 101:

America allegedly does bad thing: "can I believe it?"

Russia allegedly does bad thing: "must I believe it?"

Lol John Ehlichmann. He'd be so pumped about all of this he loooovvves Russia.

But why? Why do him and his sister love Russia so much?

I thought Abby openly rejected the annexation (reclamation?) of Crimea in early 2014 on RT? Not sure if that was it, but I remember that vid of her criticizing something the Russian government was doing in regards to the Euromaiden aftermath.

I'd love Russia too if RT checks paid my rent.

This world needs a Yakov Smirnoff 2.0

(Or hell, even a 1.02)

You know, I'm sure things are gonna be fine, cuz I'm from the future; but also, Happiness comes from within.  That being said, it's actually a really really really good time right now to be a revolution-themed musician, so for all of those who grew up on Atari Teenage Riot and Rage Against The Machine et al, fucking get your music out there, yo.  It's time to cash in on all that anger (that you've actually mostly resolved, cuz you don't want to be a child forever).

I'm basically speaking to myself here, but still.

You mean creating music as an outlet by which to channel one's angst? I do believe that's how some of the most energized, passionate music is generated. Hmm.

the super deluxe stuff is just consistently awesome

except this could easily turn into that muslim registry

"PALANTIR TECHNOLOGIES, the data mining company co-founded by billionaire and Trump transition advisor Peter Thiel, will likely assist the Trump Administration in its efforts to track and collect intelligence on immigrants, according to a review of public records by The Intercept. Since 2011, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has paid Palantir tens of millions of dollars to help construct and operate a complex intelligence system called FALCON, which allows ICE to store, search, and analyze troves of data that include family relationships, employment information, immigration history, criminal records, and home and work addresses."

I wonder if any other president elects have continued to have rallies after being nominated. Is that normal?

Not normal.

"victory lap" is what they were saying but it's bizarre. feels creepy to me.  but is likely a way to keep his supporters active, deceived and believing in him and motivated to knock down any kind of dissent and opposition. flood phone banks with calls when issues get to congress etc etc.. 

could we be SnowCrash soon?  maybe.
