The more they alter, the more chance it is they fuck it up somewhere.

this is the dumbest timeline

this has been the dumbest possible timeline for longer than you or I can probably remember. I remember noticing the difference between pre-2015 and post-2015, but I've been assured things have been imploding consistently since at least 9/11 and definitely by the 2008 financial crisis.

In other words, it is entirely possible, yes.

there is no possible way "100% democrats in the files" just goes without any pushback, so yeah either they're totally unredacted and unaltered (likely, comes with its own set of problems) or the democrats absolutely will ratfuck the others.

personally I think the most likely outcome is that Trump's name appears far fewer times than we expect (after they've, yanno, had their way with the files). Maybe a couple instances to satisfy the public that he was a skeezy fuck, but anything that implicates him in something serious will be changed to point to someone else's name. Usually a Democrat, maybe sometimes the RINO of the week. You'd then just have to make sure every document agreed with every other document -- say, dozens of people working in teams for a few months could get that done. Say, weren't a team of FBI agents doing exactly that not too long ago? Sorting through all the files, looking for every instance of Trump's name? Wonder what's up with that.

That would be the smartest way to alter the files. Leave everything else untouched, just make sure the ~~golden~~ orange ~~boy~~ old fuck isn't smeared. Are they smart enough to do that? Possibly. Maybe. Hopefully not, because the "100% democrats" shitshow would be hilarious to watch

the fact that "what has bill clinton done with his penis" has been a relevant, current-events political topic twice in thirty years is what kills me.

I like poking them with a stick every now and then, but I don't have the patience to go out of my way to jab them every time I see them, indefinitely -- some of them can go on for weeks. Bless those of you who do.

watch this, I'm gonna toss this one out and it is gonna make one (Or five. Or twenty :3c) of them so mad: You can be opposed to moving towards the center and also realize that bullshit purity tests of leftism do nothing but help nazis in a time where the republicans are happy to welcome every kind of single-issue voter -- gun rights, your family all votes this way, anti-abortion, hate women, hate blacks, hate mexicans, anti-lgbtq, maybe you're a jesus freak, maybe you're a business owner, maybe you're an outright neo-nazi, maybe all you care about is that rich people are never taxed anything ever (regardless of your own income) -- they're all too happy to welcome all these various flavors of people under a big tent that tells them THEY BELONG.

I'm all for trying to talk these people out of their mediocre centrist shit takes, but that can wait for after we defeat the actual factual nazis, no? For now, we need to vote in every election we can to try and take the path of least harm -- if the DSA runs more candidates in primaries, fucking vote for them, but if one isn't the nominee, don't let perfect be the enemy of "better than what we've got".

now, sit back and watch the fireworks. I adore hearing from "true leftists", they're a laugh riot.

Oh, good, and you fellas had me worried.

No they don't, it's the same fantasy -- "good things happen to good people, bad things happen to bad people", just aimed at different demographics.

As it so happens, they can indict ham sandwiches, but not turkey subs. And I think this is arguably funnier.
