Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources
-
I'm out of the loop. What is the reference?
From what I can see ...?
There's a movie called Slumdog Millionaire where it's a guy that comes up from the slums and enters the "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" gameshow.
He changed the word "slum" to "rum" because he drinks booze and I guess enters the Whitehouse.
I don't think the poster thought more than the wordplay but others are tying in other class and cultural aspects of the movie and applying it this instance. Others are saying name calling is sad.
I'm tired, it's a Friday night and I'm figuring out whether to study more on how to get better observability on my k8s cluster or just do more agentic programming stuff because my director told me this week that AI is going to take over everything and we're just going to write JIRA tickets and let the AI bots code and we're not allowed to code any more and I feel like I need rum myself to deal with this internal struggle I'm dealing with.

He knows all that. He was a lawyer. He also knows how the bullshit civil courts work in the US and how Americans think suing someone means you are validated.
Also, you can just harass and paper-whip a journalist out of existence a lot easier when you're the head of the FBI. Hell, worse comes to worst, call up your buddies in charge of the Pentagon or CIA, I'm sure they can find someone to just knock off the plaintiffs for cheap.

That normally implies cordial relations between heads of departments. No one in the administration likes anyone else, they like themselves and sucking up to Trump to benefit themselves.
Kash would need to get Trump to get someone else to cooperate and you can't go running to the boss to clean up your mess when you're supposed to be cleaning up his!

Rumdog Millionaire is about to FA and FO even more.
I have been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work, providing additional corroborating information.
Trump confirmed snitching on Patel's drunk ass

Lol, "annoying". Good. Most people don't like their racism called out. Those with actual merit can manage to self reflect, though. Whining about how the calling out makes you feel bad is pretty much the opposite of that.
Frauds do like to invent reasons to feel superior. No surprise there.

Using a racially-based pop-culture reference to make fun of someone seems pretty in line with racism to me. Just because it’s making fun of someone we don’t like seems little reason to discount it as racism.
This is like when someone put a statue of Trump with a micro penis in some park in New York. People loved it, but if someone had done the same thing to Hillary, there would be uproar. I hate Trump, but making fun of his body is no better when it’s him than it is when it’s someone else.
You literally make no sense. For this to be racist, there would need to be something racist about the comparison. Like say if the movie itself was racist against Indian people. It is not. The joke is literally playing with the title of a movie. There is no further implication whatsoever. It doesn't make a judgement against him because he is Indian. It is pretty absurd to me that I need to explain this honestly. This is truly reaching to find something "racist" to feel superior about. Only problem is, it's not there whatsoever. There is nothing racist about noticing a person's ethnicity. Kinda mind boggling that people could be so blind to reality that they insist that's a thing.

*effect
To affect (verb) is to alter something
To effect (verb) is to cause to happen
The effect (noun) is the result
So one can affect the situation by effecting the effect.

I love how much he doesn't realize discovery will be part of this process.
Kiddo, you can't throw SLAPP suits at journalists when you're swimming in evidence you're doing exactly what the jounalist said you're doing.
He's a bully, so he thinks that the threat of a lawsuit will make the problem go away. He hasn't thought about what happens if it goes further than that.

Fuckin Mozart making me nut so good from jealously

Thanks lol. It's just an autocorrect typo.

Then you’re not listening, and I don’t need to respond.

Because nothing you could say would make it make sense

Urgh I'm terrible with that. I just avoid those two words like the goddamn plague.

Do you find the effect of those words affects your mood ?

There's definitely an impact.

I always just remember 'an affect is not a thing' as in, effect is a thing (noun) and affect is a noun. Then I just avoid the second one, the effect verb form.

It's not a personal issue, he's the head of the FBI and the suit is against how he's
runningruining it.An excellent example of why you should vote Democratic for the next few years. Clear out these idiots.
FBI director wasn't on the ticket last I checked

Literally nothing about this joke is denigrating southeast Asians, it's just a pun-infused pop culture reference. You need to understand what racism is before you start lobbing it as an accusation...
South asian, not south east asian. It's not racist but I definitely rolled my eyes. It's a movie from 20 years ago and Americans are not known for being particularly 'worldly' so it comes across as sees brown person - oh here's a movie from a couple decades ago that I remember had similar looking people in it
