      Way to go, tough guy! Very easy to be brave behind a keyboard. I bet you’d spill your beans if they threatened to clip your nails.

        No you’re right, we should start cheering for the people who sell out their friends because…checks notes … The opposition is scary…

          Yes, I’m a coward because I empathize with her shitty situation. You, on the other hand, are very brave because you talk big behind a keyboard.

          In my experience the first to judge and point their finger are also the first to break down at the first sign of pressure. That is to say: you are not fooling anyone.

        Where is the line though?

        What if (yes this is a big what if) Trump was pressured in the same way?

        Where is the line?

          Then his actions would have to be reassessed under that new light. What’s your point?

          I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. He’d burn down the entire country to avoid a single gut punch if he believed that would save him from getting hurt.

      Russian intelligence is pretty famous for the amount of blackmail and extortion they unleash on people that they want to turn into assets.

      What would you have done to resist that?
