looks like he's basically just a lawyer

2018-06-15 11:28:27 UTC  

"Among other testimony, when asked if he believed that the investigation into Russian election interference and possible links to Trump's campaign is a "witch hunt", he stated that he did not."

interesting

```On February 13, 2018, in a hearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Marco Rubio asked Wray about the risk posed from Chinese students in advanced science and mathematics programs....Wray stated "nontraditional collectors" are "exploiting the very open research and development environment that we have" and consequently he viewed the risk "as not just a whole of government threat but a whole of society threat"....Representatives Chu, Lieu, and Meng released statements criticizing Wray's response as "irresponsible generalizations" implying that all Chinese students and scholars were spies. A coalition of Asian American advocacy groups wrote an open letter to Wray asking for a dialogue "to discuss how well-intentioned public policies might nonetheless lead to troubling issues of potential bias, racial profiling, and wrongful prosecution." In a follow-up interview with NBC, Wray stood by his earlier remarks, elaborating that "To be clear, we do not open investigations based on race, or ethnicity, or national origin. But when we open investigations into economic espionage, time and time again, they keep leading back to China."```

All three reps criticizing him were Dems. Looks like he may have been the target of a political correctness smear, purely speculating.

2018-06-15 11:35:50 UTC  

If I'm not mistaken it looks like not very many people are liking this guy on either side of the fence.

2018-06-15 11:38:53 UTC  

That may just be business as usual for new players on the scene, though. On the right, in response to his news conference, people are saying he's essentially full of bs, a liar. His overall message is one of reforming the FBI based on the lessons to be learned from the recently released Comey Report.

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] These days trump could nominate the best of the best for a position and both sides would hate it. Because the Dems and the Rhinos want trump to fail. Kinda like their back and forth with tbe korea thing. When it was on they said *He shouldnt do it*, and *hes not experienced enough* or *kim is pulling the strings. Then when trump cancelled it. They criticized him for *not wantjng peace*. When it was back on the first happened again. These days it has to do with who it is or what it is. just is trump involved. These people are gonna damage us beyond repair.

Moral Subjectivists annoy me (or maybe this is Moral Relativists)

2018-06-15 15:50:44 UTC  

"We disagree on subjects relating to morality."

2018-06-15 15:51:06 UTC  

"Ergo morality is never right nor wrong and is dependent entirely on the opinion of the individual."

2018-06-15 15:51:11 UTC  

Wow that's a fucking leap

2018-06-15 15:51:26 UTC  

Wonder why we don't attribute that reasoning to politics 🤔

2018-06-15 15:52:03 UTC  

Probably because it's wrong. If theres such a thing as political ignorance why isn't there such a thing as moral ignorance?

2018-06-15 15:53:13 UTC  

If someone politically ignorant is more likely to be wrong on particular subjects then why would that be any different for someone who is morally ignorsnt?

2018-06-15 15:55:20 UTC  

Why is political ignorance a thing but moral ignorance not?

2018-06-15 15:55:21 UTC  

I think it’s moral relativists

2018-06-15 15:55:45 UTC  

And they’re some of the most ignorant jackasses you can ever meet

2018-06-15 15:55:54 UTC  

Oh believe me I know.

2018-06-15 15:56:11 UTC  

They are people who would defend their murderers or rapists

2018-06-15 15:56:22 UTC  

They make the same arguments as Christians, bizarrely.

2018-06-15 15:56:36 UTC  

What do you mean?

2018-06-15 15:56:48 UTC  

"You cannot disprove or prove Moral Relativism, ergo Moral Relatvism is true."

2018-06-15 15:56:57 UTC  

Ah

2018-06-15 15:57:25 UTC  

The default state of things is false

2018-06-15 15:57:33 UTC  

Not true

2018-06-15 15:57:37 UTC  

They're kinda on the same boat eith Nihilists. At least Nihilists don't ALWAYS act pretentious at least.

2018-06-15 15:58:19 UTC  

Ye

2018-06-15 15:58:31 UTC  

Still Nihilists are up there imo.

2018-06-15 15:59:20 UTC  

They range from "edgy teens except it was never a phase" to the equivilant of carefree potheads wasting away or too in denial of their own position to give it any actual thought.

2018-06-15 15:59:36 UTC  

My thing with nihilists is, “why don’t you just keel over already?”

2018-06-15 16:00:06 UTC  

There’s no point in anything right?

2018-06-15 16:00:37 UTC  

Theres no point to anything, ergo I'm going to pretend theres no point to anything, essentially.

2018-06-15 16:01:13 UTC  

So it's either be a Nihilist and not actually be a Nihilist, or be a Nihilist and be a depressed fuck.

2018-06-15 16:01:28 UTC  

That's my thing; Nihilism is the ultimate moral convenience.

2018-06-15 16:01:33 UTC  

Yep

2018-06-15 16:01:58 UTC  

You get the benefit of doing good and feeling good about it whilst having all the justification of being a shithead when you wanna be

Mount Pleasant isn't really the ideal location is it?
