I hope so

2018-09-06 08:16:52 UTC  

He's mine

2018-09-06 08:17:01 UTC  

I found him shocking initially

2018-09-06 08:17:09 UTC  

but then it was just a...

2018-09-06 08:17:18 UTC  

...Maybe I should stop.

2018-09-06 09:00:07 UTC  

There's actually a game called The Resistance.

2018-09-06 09:00:32 UTC  

Five to ten players play it. Two are spies.

2018-09-06 09:00:47 UTC  

(in the five player rules)

2018-09-06 09:01:21 UTC  

When I was a camp counselor I'd host this game with some of the kids

2018-09-06 09:01:53 UTC  

One time I decided I'd try an experiment

2018-09-06 09:02:57 UTC  

I rigged the game so that nobody was a spy.

2018-09-06 09:04:13 UTC  

So the way it goes, you get five missions. Spies have the choice to make a mission fail. Winning 3 out of 5 missions means the 'resistance' wins.

2018-09-06 09:04:46 UTC  

Failing three means the spies win. Spies know who each other are, resistance don't.

2018-09-06 09:07:04 UTC  

The group has to vote for three people per mission, meaning you had to figure out who the spies are quick. It was a common strategy for the spies to play the group from the get go, often letting the first mission go for success, and punishing any variation to cause suspicion.

2018-09-06 09:09:46 UTC  

If you aren't on a mission, and you know you're not a spy, then a spy is on a mission. So having no spies, I bore witness to some of the most merciless arguing after two successful missions.

Sounds like secret hitler

2018-09-06 09:10:51 UTC  

What I'm getting at here is that this whole 'resistance in the trump campaign' could very well be a means to sow discord. And it's got potential to be a potent strategy.

2018-09-06 09:13:36 UTC  

I've seen it myself before in a scenario where there are no real stakes. Given that the opposition seems to be aiming to imprison as many trump campaign officials as they can, leave as many lives in ruin as they can, this is kind of dangerous if they get hung up on it.

2018-09-06 10:14:53 UTC  

its like that town of salem

2018-09-06 11:49:22 UTC  

It's not a witch hunt. It's a power play.

2018-09-06 11:49:52 UTC  

There's not exactly much secrecy who is in the campaign. IT's all about intimidation.

2018-09-06 12:34:40 UTC  

I consider myself pretty well informed about current events. The only reason I knew about this was because Infowars retweeted it, and I only followed them because they were deplatformed.

2018-09-06 13:18:46 UTC  

ah interesting

2018-09-06 13:18:53 UTC  

I think Duncan yesterday had the biggest story

2018-09-06 13:18:58 UTC  

twitter only recommending libs

2018-09-06 13:19:11 UTC  

Dorsey was like "uh maybe its becuase of the 202 area code so they got DC accounts"

2018-09-06 13:19:14 UTC  

Duncan goes

2018-09-06 13:19:26 UTC  

"oh yea? then where was [names DC sports teams and atheletes]"

2018-09-06 13:19:31 UTC  

lol

I'm seeing the 25th Amendment being brought up a lot. I guess they're trying to shame or pressure cabinet officials into declaring Trump incapacitated.

2018-09-06 13:49:22 UTC  

Doesn't seem as if it's any easier to have him removed under the 25th as compared to the regular impeachment process. Just means there's no trial or 'high crimes or misdemeanors' necessary.

Really a dumb move on his part. Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed regardless, and he risks being removed from office and barred from holding public office in the future.

2018-09-06 14:30:56 UTC  

rofl he's calling it 'civil disobedience'

2018-09-06 14:43:45 UTC  

Even Feinstein seems taken aback.

2018-09-06 14:49:35 UTC  

Blumenthal is also threatening to release confidential documents.
