> [@E-DUB](#): > > Which is why the concept of blackmailing trump is rather silly. You just need to blackmail him with something he cares about; like evidence he’s not nearly as rich as he says he is. Of course if you try to blackmail him once he take office, he’ll probably just have you killed. Or if you’re a national leader, nuked. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > Anybody understand this? Morbid curiosity, I know, but still… Doc ock’s original comment was about needing a safe space to retire to when “the wrong ethnicity ate the wrong food.” There was an uproar recently about the “chopped cheese” sandwich – ground beef hashed together with onions and American cheese, fried, and served on a hero roll with ketchup, mustard, etc. It had been popular in Harlem and other predominantly black sections of NYC, and then rich white people “discovered” it and started making it downtown with fancy cheese, artisinal bread, etc. Culture warhawks got nasty about it. May have also been a reference to age old culinary stereotypes and how they upset some folks. “Don’t eat that fried chicken! A white person might see you!” “What the fuck? EVERYBODY likes fried chicken!” “STILL!” Back when I worked at a food co-op we all loved watermelon season, because of course we needed to sample each delivery for “quality standards.” There was one black guy who never joined in because he was afraid someone would take a picture of him and post it all over the Internet. ---

Didn’t know i hated zucchini till I ate a ton of it. Soup, man. Delicious cold soup. Zucchini Vichyssoise, with lots of fresh dill and sour cream. Best way in the world to use up all that fucking squash. Make a huge pot, give quarts of it away, your friends will never complain about zucchini gifts again. ---

[Former MI6 agent Christopher Steele’s frustration as FBI sat on Donald Trump Russia file for months](http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-russia-dossier-file-investigation-hacking-christopher-steele-mi6-a7526901.html) It’s getting real now. Still no proof of the details, but the source looks credible. And stinking Comey did nothing during the months the FBI had the material. > [@](#): > > Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who investigated Donald Trump’s alleged Kremlin links, was so worried by what he was discovering that at the end he was working without pay, The Independent has learned. > > Mr Steele also decided to pass on information to both British and American intelligence officials after concluding that such material should not just be in the hands of political opponents of Mr Trump, who had hired his services, but was a matter of national security for both countries. > > However, say security sources, Mr Steele became increasingly frustrated that the FBI was failing to take action on the intelligence from others as well as him. He came to believe there was a cover-up, that a cabal within the Bureau blocked a thorough inquiry into Mr Trump, focusing instead on the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. > [@](#): > > It was against this background that Senator John McCain, who had been hearing with growing alarm reports about Mr Trump and the Kremlin, met Sir Andrew Wood, a former British ambassador to Moscow, who had spent 10 years in Russia and is highly respected for his knowledge of Russian affairs, at a security conference in Halifax, Canada. > > Sir Andrew stressed to Senator McCain that he had not read the dossier, but vouched for Mr Steele’s professionalism and integrity. The chair of the Senate Armed Forces Committee then sent an emissary to London who picked up the dossier from an intermediary acting on behalf of Mr Steele. The Senator personally took the material to Mr Comey. ---

“Steele”? The guys name is “Steele”? What happened to Englishmen named Witherbottom and Throckmorton? If you proposed this as a plot outline for Tom Clancy, he’d have laughed it out of the room! Ian Fleming, maybe. ---
