      It's possible to believe that 1. Tulsi Gabbard is a terrible politician who trying to rat fuck the Democrats but also... 2. A subset of American liberals have had their minds warped by conspiracy mongering. For evidence of 2 see:pic.twitter.com/SmlnZAlg9u

      Can’t people say they “think” (that was the word, an opinion) that Russia is grooming her — even if she’s not reciprocating — based on reports like this, which go back to February & have only continued? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/russia-s-propaganda-machine-discovers-2020-democratic-candidate-tulsi-gabbard-n964261 …

      I feel like this is stretching the meaning of "grooming" and "asset" to a point of uselessness. Let's say a group of cannibals decide to promote my tweets. Would it be fair to say I'm being groomed to be a cannibal asset?

          Yes, if your tweets exonerate them. You’re confusing asset and agent. An asset can unknowingly help someone.

          This. "Agent", "Asset" and "Useful Fool" are each a distinct thing.

          That’s narrowing the word to being about tweets. Let’s say a pedophile priest is grooming a young boy but nothing has happened yet, and may never, because the boy is smarter. Is the priest not grooming?

          In this case the word “grooming” is meant to designate the child as a victim. In the case of Tulsi, the word “grooming” is meant to designate her as a villain.

          You’re saying you are more of an expert on this that Robert Mueller.

          As a general rule, when someone branded as a "public intellectual" chooses to use the verb 'feel' (as opposed to 'think'), that's a classic Tell: It's a warning that whatever follows is probably disingenuous.

          It depends. Are they Russian cannibals?

          She doesn't reject the support and has praised Putin for bombing "the right" people in Syria. She eagerly embraces support from the far right as well -- she just went on Tucker's White Power Hour last night.

          Jeet just points out that the aroma of brains is delish, it's not like he's telling people to eat their friends.
