Slashdot Mirror

The Nazis tied themselves to indrustrial titans like Porsche, Krupp and Henschel, they were high ranking party members who wrote polities in favour of themselves. Alfred Krupp was an SS member from 1931... Why would one of Germany's most wealthy industrialists join a socialist party?

Why do wealthy industrialists in the US support the Democrats and even self-proclaimed socialists? Why did Patty Hearst join the
Symbionese Liberation Army? For the same reasons: the sex is good, or they actually believe in the ideology and don't mind sacrificing personal wealth, or they want to increase their power by joining the government, or they don't have a choice (after 1933, German industrialists didn't have a choice).

You don't have a clue what the Nazi's did.

I know exactly what the Nazis did; my parents barely survived the Nazi regime.

We were comparing political ideologies and stated objectives of fascism and socialism. It's patently obvious that neither fascism nor socialism actually are capable of delivering on their promises.

If you want to compare what fascists and socialists actually do in practice, you'll find that they behave the same way too: economic ruin, control of the media and educational systems, mass starvation, death camps, the creation of an extremely wealthy ruling elite, and the oppression of everybody else.

That is, not only is fascist ideology closely related to socialist ideology, fascist regimes operate pretty much the same way socialist regimes do.

People need to realize the financial scale of SJW business. Since mid 90th USA alone spends more than 1.5 billion dollars on fighting "domestic violence against women", a case founded on outhright lies, called out in Christina Sommer's book, "Who Stole Feminism". It's one out of endless government programs spent with zero or even negative effectiveness.

It isn't just someone out there with some crazy ideas, ignoring glaring evidence, it is mostly people and organizations who are paid for solving made up problems it is people who would lose their jobs if we finally figure what is going on.

Even as a "business" man Trump had exactly one trick - screw over people that trusted him. The Trump University scam was all about conning regular schmoes who believed he would help them (and don't forget he agreed to pay $25M in restitution to them). Meanwhile the guy was notorious for stiffing the blue-collar workers that he contracted with on his buildings.

But when it comes down to negotiating with people who don't trust him, he either folds like a wet blanket or flips the table and walks away. That might work in the business world where there is always a new sucker around the corner. But in politics, there isn't an endless supply of suckers, you have to keep going back to the same table with the same people.

Also, this is only partly related but every time he screams "witch-hunt" people should know that Mueller has already charged 19 people, 3 companies and secured 5 guilty pleas. One year in, even the watergate investigation didn't have as many results as that.

It's fitting that the story comes from the Washington Post since this has nothing to do with Amazon and EVERYTHING to do with the smear job WAPO has been doing to Trump.

So you are claiming that a story about how Trump is pushing the Postmaster General to significantly increase the rates it charges Amazon... has nothing to do with Amazon? Are you saying Trump did not, in fact, press for Amazon's postal rates to increase? Because the Postmaster General has specifically and rather publicly stated why she cannot do that - which would be an odd and random thing for her to say if Trump hadn't asked for it.

How about a similar story from Fox News? Is this one a smear job too? Did Bezos buy Fox News? http://www.foxnews.com/politic...

Apparently the "fabric of our republic" consists of a worn thin cotton gauze if all it takes to unravel it are Russian dank memes placed through Facebook ads.

DHS said in 2016 that 21 states had experienced initial probing of their systems from Russian hackers in 2016 and that a small number of networks were compromised, but that there was no evidence any votes were actually altered.

But whattabout IG probing alleged DHS
snooping in Georgia election network

A government watchdog agency is investigating allegations that Department of Homeland Security officials improperly attempted to breach the Georgia secretary of state’s internal elections network last year [2016].

In a Jan. 17 letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, DHS Inspector General John Roth said his office was probing “a series of ten alleged scanning events of the Georgia Secretary of State’s network” that may have originated from DHS-affiliated IP addresses. ...
The alleged effort to penetrate the secretary of state’s firewall was traced back to an IP address at DHS’ Southwest D.C. office -- and did not succeed in breaking through.

But DHS has argued that what Georgia detected was simply a contractor performing routine duties.

UH-HUH.

“Could it be normal web traffic that triggered a red flag? Sure, but when you look at the dates there are some interesting correlations between my calendar and when the contacts were made," Kemp told Fox News.

The nine other alleged incidents flagged by Kemp correspond to key election dates and times when Kemp was speaking out against DHS’ plans to designate elections systems as “critical infrastructure.”

What ever happened to that investigation?

What if the so-called Russian probes in 2016 were actually originating from DHS except that when scanning Georgia's network the "contractor" forgot to route scan through a proxy or vpn in a Russian IP domain?

Oh, and don't worry about the security of our upcoming elections.

You do realize, that so far AI and related technologies is one of the best force multipliers for well funded groups to do the kind of propaganda needed to swing and election and that by making the research unclassified, much of it will eventually be in the hands of bad actors, including other nation states. In short it is certainly plausible that these efforts will contribute to the next round of attacks by Russia or whoever.

Oh, and don't worry about the security of our upcoming elections.

First of all, having to explicitly agree to this to attend a conference is like having to pledge allegiance every time to get food in a mess hall (as mocked so brilliantly in Catch-22 — great read). How would like you like a daily popup on /. asking you to promise not to molest children today?

On the subject of great reads, we could read the T&C of the LLVM conference that I linked. You don't *explicitly* agree to the code of conduct. Agreement is implicit by registering for the conference. So no, it's really very dissimilar to reciting the pledge of allegiance every time to get food, and it's very dissimilar to a daily popup on slashdot.

The code asks you to be "respectful" -- what does it mean? If one were to show up to a conference in a T-shirt with a picture of AR-15, or a portrait of President Trump, would that be Ok? I've worked with people IRL, who'd file a complaint with Human Resources over such a thing -- because they'd "feel unsafe". And it could get worse!

Again on the subject of great reads, the code of conduct does indeed say what it means by being "respectful" (albeit in a vague way): no personal attacks, good behavior, good manners.

I'm having a hard time understanding the point you're making with your link. There was a student who had agreed to the school dress code and then either did or didn't violate it. The police officer attempted to get to the bottom of it but was hindered because the student wouldn't stop talking. The police officer thought this amounted to obstruction of justice but due process decided it didn't. I don't see how that relates to a conference situation.

They got a huge tax break instead of an all-but-guaranteed tax hike.

Yeah, actually not. Clinton's plan contained significant cost reductions for people making under $50K/yr. Under trump, we got tax cuts for millionaires and tax bills for the middle class.

Unemployment is way down.

Not for rural whites. In fact, its still so bad for them that Michigan republicans are trying to exempt them from their draconian medicaid work requirements.
Also, those people at that Carrier plant that he "saved?" Yeah, they got fucked.

The stock market is way up.

(A) Doesn't mean squat for majority of people because they don't own stocks.
(B) Rate of growth in the stock market is slower than it was under Obama.
(C) China has stopped buying soybeans. Not just tariffs, full stop, buying em from somewhere else. China is the #2 largest market for US soy and soy is the #2 US crop export.

Denuclearization, peace, and potential reunification in Korea,

Not anything to do with trump. The sanctions only resulted in a ~20% increase in black market currency exchange, showing that it wasn't a big deal for a country that survived the great faminine of the 90s on nothing but Juche. Moon Jae-in is leading trump around by the nose. Though I guess you could say the fact that trump is so easily played by Moon is a point in trump's favor. So sure, promise that gloryhound a nobel prize if that's what it takes to keep him from screwing up everybody else's work.

Tons of sex cults and human trafficking rings have been broken up.

Ah, so now you reveal yourself as one of those RWNJ dumbasses. In fact, its the nothing of the kind. If anything, they've been cracking down on easy targets - adult sex-workers, not trafficking victims. Meanwhile Trump knowingly endorsed an actual pedophile.

Corrupt leaders and former leaders of many countries are actually being brought to justice.

Yeah. Putin. Duterte. Netanyahu MBS They've all been locked up!!! Yay!

The wall is being built.

Lol. He couldn't even get his own republican party to pay for it. Much less mexico.

Next year there will be no unconstitutional personal mandate for health insurance.

Yay! That's already working out so great for republicans.
Never mind how he totally fucked rural whites with empty promises about the opioid epidemic.

If he can't agree to those minimum standards of acceptable behavior, then sure he shouldn't be admitted to the conference.

This is bullshit, and you know it. First of all, having to explicitly agree to this to attend a conference is like having to pledge allegiance every time to get food in a mess hall (as mocked so brilliantly in Catch-22 — great read).

How would like you like a daily popup on /. asking you to promise not to molest children today? Your probably would not... But, if you can't agree to that (much lower!) minimum standard of behavior, why should you be allowed to have Internet?

Seriously, like most corporations, LLVM has no separation of powers. The same people writing the Code of Conduct, are the ones enforcing it... Having it simply gives them a weapon to enforce their point of view.

And we know — from their choosing to associate with the trash like Outreachy — what that point of view is...

"Common sense is not too common" goes the saying. The code asks you to be "respectful" — what does it mean? If one were to show up to a conference in a T-shirt with a picture of AR-15, or a portrait of President Trump, would that be Ok? I've worked with people IRL, who'd file a complaint with Human Resources over such a thing — because they'd "feel unsafe". And it could get worse!

Likewise, what if a woman encounters an obvious man in a female bathroom — because he is "genderfluid" and felt feminine at the moment the nature called? Would the woman's negative reaction be "disrespectful"? By the standards of the Social Justice assholes, who'd consider yoga practice to be racist, it certainly would be...

We've been slowly boiled by these asshole for years. This man is a hero for raising awareness of this growing threat to our freedom.

A year ago, 6 schools in Baltimore had no students that were proficient in state tests... Recently that number grew to 13 without even one student proficient in math, but they did somehow find $100K to bus students to an anti-gun protest...

Nice hyperbole. A member of Trumps campaign make active overtures to someone in Britain the US security complex believed was a Russian Spy.

Hell, they got a FISA on Carter Page only after he officially left the trump campaign, not during.

Now, if you've been following along in the press, the fact that Trump officially said that Page was no longer officially part of his campaign means jackshit, the guy was still doing trump's bidding. But nobody forced Trump to publicly claim Page was off the campaign. That was his decision. One might say he was trying to have his cake and eat it too, absolutely nothing suspicious about that!

THE DOCTRINE OF FASCISM-BENITO MUSSOLINI (1932)

Accepting mussolini's propaganda as an accurate description of fascism is like taking The Democratic Republic of North Korea's word that they are a democracy.

Instead, lets take the word of more neutral sources:

Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation.

A few years ago it was reported that a high percentage of college students at Michigan State were on SNAP, kind of odd that they can afford/borrow tens of thousands of dollars for tuition & board, but need help buying food - perhaps they should borrow a bit more to sign up for the meal plan?

Apparently Michigan questioned the appropriateness of students collecting SNAP benefits and dropped 30,000 students from SNAP.

Actually, I'll thank Xi, since he alone is the one who controls North Korea's entire existance. Funny how all of this happens AFTER Kim visits China.

Funny how the planning of the Trump-Kim meeting was announced within 24 hours of Trump announcing tariffs on aluminium and steel.

Of course, NK seeking peace is all of Xi's doing on his own. That's why Kim visited China nearly twenty days after negotiating with the White House.

Also interesting after China consolidates into a dictatorship.

No, no, no. Trump is literally Hitler, remember. How does Xi not having term limits affect NK? China in real terms is the same China of January. The only difference is Trump. Trump solves problems instead of going on apology tours.

Failed yet again by my local main-stream media. I dont recall any coverage of the event, but i guess thats to be expected from a group of conglomerate advertisers

Well, of all the failures among news outlets, it was reported twice before on that awful "Slashdot" site. One of those even linked CNN as a source, but they're hardly mainstream, are they? There was, of course, also coverage on Fox News, which in turn links to coverage on the Wall Street Journal. On the other coast, the LA Times also ran a Bloomberg-syndicated story.

thanks to the sausage-factory machinations of our federal government, im sure we'll never be privy to so much as a general idea of what this satellite was designed to do

Well, let's go gather a few facts, and guess. First, its contract details are all secret, which strongly implies it's for military purposes. It was aimed for low-earth orbit at 51 degrees inclination, which would put it over many places of military significance. Indeed, a more knowledgeable source theorizes it's for space-based radar, which would certainly be in accordance with recent US military doctrine of "get more pictures, engage from further away, and use fewer people".

Flint Michigan looks set to go another year without clean water

...which has absolutely nothing to do with spaceflight, or the military, or anything related to this discussion. Not only are the military branches and intelligence agencies expressly forbidden from assisting Flint, the restoration efforts are already underway and progressing as expected. What the fearmongers like yourself conveniently ignore is that essentially Flint has had to rebuild its entire water system due to the years of neglect, and as of last year, the vast majority of test samples are clean. There's still work to be done, but the situation is no longer a failure of government.

Congress brand oversight. ... Well it wasnt as prevalent for this 3.5 billion dollar satellite

Which is perfectly normal for classified projects, regardless of where they go. Since part of OPSEC is to minimize dispersal of classified information, there are bipartisan committees that debate classified projects in great detail, and their unclassified comments are usually distributed to the other congresspeople.

it did such a bang-up job of everything from the timely restoration of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina

...which isn't in Congress's authority, since once the national emergency has passed, the authority goes back to the state per the Tenth Amendment...

to ensuring healthcare for our veterans is the best in the world

...which isn't mandated by any law, or even really practical, and still not directly under Congress's authority, being wholly delegated to the Veterans Health Administration, itself wholly under the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is itself organized under the Executive branch under the President...

one can on

As this has been being updated periodically on slashdot; the first piece of news I read about this, claimed she shot her boyfriend and herself. It was stated this was not a terrorist incident and that she shot her boyfriend and herself and others were injured...

Now how hard would it be for the powers that be to turn an event like this towards their favor? Perhaps her boyfriend cheated on her and she became completely unhinged. Maybe there were coworkers involved with the drama. My point is that if the killer is dead and anyone who really knew the truth of why she did what she did is dead, and whatever truth does exist is easily suppressed, that's a sort of blank check for using fear as a tool of influence.

There's also no life guards at the lake. So... it evens out?

Kind of like how restriction on carrying a handgun is supposed to reduce murder. What we saw then was a lady getting stabbed to death in her own driveway by her ex-boyfriend while her permit to carry a handgun was being processed. Yep, less "gun death" that way.

So you're saying that he didn't make his position clear about immigration before the election? Or after the election?

Correct because he doesn't have a position. What he has is the position of playing to whatever his base wants.

You're saying he didn't sit down with Pelosi and Schumer to try to work out a deal?

No, he didn't. What he did was sit down with Schumer and work to not make a deal to so that the government would shut down. He then proceeded to message that Democrat didn't care and the government shutdown was entirely their doing. He even bragged that he was going to do that back in September.

You're saying he didn't send a 70-point immigration wish-list to congress right before the Omnibus bill?

He sent a wish list but he really doesn't care one way or the other, as long as it's what his extreme-right base wants. If they were insisting on amnesty for all illegal immigrants then he would have sent a wish list about that.

You're making shit up. The truth is... you're making shit up.

I'd be laughing if this wasn't such a serious situation. Our president is a malignant narcissist and doctors have been trying to warn you.

This is a standard liberal practice - just make shit up about the other side and then say how bad that shit is.

Now that is rich. If you look at the situation objectively then you would see that the White House is in chaos and our president is guilty of many very serious felonies. There isn't a special council appointed when everything is fine.

Furthermore, the president himself doesn't really have any real positions with the exception that he's great and wants praise.

So you're saying that he didn't make his position clear about immigration before the election? Or after the election? You're saying he didn't sit down with Pelosi and Schumer to try to work out a deal? You're saying he didn't send a 70-point immigration wish-list to congress right before the Omnibus bill?

That's pretty hilarious.

While he may say he wants skilled workers, the truth is that he's working toward isolationism because that is what his extremist political base wants.

You're making shit up. The truth is... you're making shit up.

This is a standard liberal practice - just make shit up about the other side and then say how bad that shit is.

If you're so against what Trump is doing, tell us what we *should* be doing!

What is the Liberal position on immigration, and how will that position benefit America?

Those might be the only calls the system gets. Not every country uses 911, hell, Taiwan even uses 119, and not for everything.

The demonization of Fox News is part of the strategy. The ops question about it being illegal to hire foreigners to a campaign?

Fox News reported it but since you've been programmed to ignore them completely I guess that'll be news to you.

http://www.foxnews.com/politic...

Yeah, the US State Media has been pushing that the "But Obama" line.

I would say that trying to equate an American Presidential candidate saying "Hey, I'm Barack Obama, would you mind if I had access to the information you store on Facebook to help with my campaign?" to willing, knowing, volunteers is 100% the opposite of a foreign company pretending to be asking for a Facebook ID for reasons having nothing to do with politics, harvesting the data, and secretly passing it on to a US election campaign.

That's kinda obvious to me, but I suppose "Democrats used Facebook, Republicans used Facebook, both sides!" must look attractive when you're desperately flailing for excuses.

Who said this, specifically? Why are you simply making stuff up

You suggested that each teacher be trained as an air martial, a salary triple that of a teacher. Asking someone to take a job that pays 1/3 less is against free market principles. On the other hand all trump wants is 130 hours total training once ever, that's not long enough to develop beyond beginner gun safety and skill.

Maybe you live in Texas where it is just fine to murder someone if they are on your land. In the other 49 states if you kill an intruder, murder charges will fly. They will use every excuse possible to paint the defensive home owner as a criminal, the chance of facing a particular flavor of murder charge is very high, even if it's just manslaughter. If they can't convict the homeowner they will start throwing murder charges at whoever was with the perpetrator or even slap murder charges on an unsuspecting driver who just got them there. You are also an idiot to think it's as simple as setting down a gun as I would be forced to kill the suspect beforehand to ensure a better chance of living through it - simply holding a gun on them is extremely likely in me being murdered by the police. What you can't seem to understand is that killing someone with a gun is rarely going to go well for anyone, i certainly don't agree with this, as far as I'm concerned if someone is in my house I will fucking brutally incapacitate them then start cutting off their genitals, also probably remove thier eyes. Perhaps I'd just cut the tendons in thier legs and arms. Either way it is going to be a sad fucking day for them Every fucking day of the rest of thier now shortened life. That's what I would like as I believe if you physically threaten someone you forefit your life. The courts don't see it thus way though and convict people just trying to defend themselves every day.

You missed my point.

  If someone who has gone through the training to "serve and protect" wilted in the face of danger, do you think people who have been trained to teach kids are going have better reactions?

Maybe there is another way to go.

As you clearly indicate, no solution in this imperfect world is perfect, and politics can certainly jump in to screw things up. Do you have a better solution to the massive spending needed after 16 years plus of neglect? Bush at least had the excuse of inheriting a recession from Clinton (just like Obama did from Bush) and then he had to deal with a $3 trillion loss from 9-11 and fight two wars.

Obama inherited a recession from Bush too, but with a silver bullet to counteract it (Federal purchase and renting back of defaulted sub prime homes that would have netted the Federal government a net profit in 8 years and would have stabilized the sub prime collapse which is what was causing the recession to begin with). However, Obama shit canned the solution and instead ineffectually dropped around a trillion dollars for infrastructure "shovel ready" jobs that amounted to a payoff of his political supporters, just like a good Chicago politician.

Here, we have Trump trying to be responsible with our tax dollars and actually looking to revitalize our infrastructure. That revitalization is not going to be free, but having the actual users pay for it is a damn sight better than having the US taxpayer foot the bill, considering we are another 8 TRILLION dollars in the hole thanks to the Obama administration.

This will likely happen, as the Federal government especially is terribly inefficient and incompetent at maintaining and providing customer service. Ever been to the DMV?

Ever called Comcast?

What happens when airports get privatized? It will cost you a few more bucks to fly in and out of that airport, but they will get badly needed renovations of electrical, plumbing and structure that they need, and it will get done more quickly (assuming Trump also executes on chopping through all the red tape permitting BS that has accumulated over the last 40 years) and it will be paid for by the people that actually use it, rather than every taxpayer in the US.

Nope. What happens is that the airports are run like crap, and everybody pays for it.

Once all the Trump derangement syndrome sufferers calm the hell down (I know it's hard for the hard core left between the Dim politicians and the MSM lying their asses off every night saying Trump is Hitler and the Antichrist who rapes every woman who he meets), they will realize what the rest of us already have, that regardless of his personal wealth, Trump is at heart just a normal guy, not a politician and he is a populist.

Trump, at heart, is just a normal con-artist bamboozler, who once you get over your love affair with this empty braggadocio and pompous bloviation, will eventually be exposed for the Hitler-apologizing, sexual-abuse dismissing, grandstanding, shameful demonstration of the wretched corruption that the GOP and their lying apologists in the right-wing media suck up to every night.

He has been consistently trying to do what is best for the people, not special interests, which is what every other politician (R and D) has been doing for the last 60 years.

Nope.

Of course, history will be the judge, but all of the actions that Trump has taken domestically have been to limit government, enforce the laws on the books, and protect the American citizen workers.

Is that why he's pardoned a sheriff found to be in contempt of court, why he's actually reduced enforcement actions by the EPA, SEC, and LRB?

He has not re-implemented Jim Crowe or started incarcerating homosexuals etc. so take a breath.

Yes, he's just apologized for offending the white supremacists and sucked up to the Christian Dominionist movement.

We are now going to see what an infrastructure plan looks like from a businessman and a builder, rather than the "shovel ready" stimulus under community organizer Obama that was just a giveaway to his cronies and pet environmental special interests.

Don't you feel wonderful, knowing some history?

AC hiding behind a BS post and probably sock puppet up mods BS because that has happened ZERO times in the last year, and Trump is only proposing to privatize infrastructure to facilitate massive amounts of infrastructure spending in a responsible way. Obama was the one that took the stimulus money and gave it to his supporters (for some reason, the Dims are always projecting their moral shortfalls on the conservatives), but it doesn't work because, unlike the Dims, we actually keep track of actual facts, not just emotions and virtue signalling.

At the end of the day, Obama PISSED AWAY $8,000,000,000,000 and got an average of 1% growth for 8 years because he was a corrupt Chicago politician giving everything away for politics. Trump is only spending $200B and he is leveraging that into $1.5T of infrastructure spending, which is massive and badly needed.

People need to stop listening to the Dims and the hysterical MSM and just look at what Trump is actually doing. The good news is that as the economy continues to roar along after it got out from under the Obama administration and now as everyone sees the infrastructure revitalized, it will be impossible for the MSM and Dims to lie about the current state of affairs with any credibility.

This will likely happen, as the Federal government especially is terribly inefficient and incompetent at maintaining and providing customer service. Ever been to the DMV?

What happens when airports get privatized? It will cost you a few more bucks to fly in and out of that airport, but they will get badly needed renovations of electrical, plumbing and structure that they need, and it will get done more quickly (assuming Trump also executes on chopping through all the red tape permitting BS that has accumulated over the last 40 years) and it will be paid for by the people that actually use it, rather than every taxpayer in the US.

Once all the Trump derangement syndrome sufferers calm the hell down (I know it's hard for the hard core left between the Dim politicians and the MSM lying their asses off every night saying Trump is Hitler and the Antichrist who rapes every woman who he meets), they will realize what the rest of us already have, that regardless of his personal wealth, Trump is at heart just a normal guy, not a politician and he is a populist.

He has been consistently trying to do what is best for the people, not special interests, which is what every other politician (R and D) has been doing for the last 60 years. Of course, history will be the judge, but all of the actions that Trump has taken domestically have been to limit government, enforce the laws on the books, and protect the American citizen workers. He has not re-implemented Jim Crowe or started incarcerating homosexuals etc. so take a breath.

We are now going to see what an infrastructure plan looks like from a businessman and a builder, rather than the "shovel ready" stimulus under community organizer Obama that was just a giveaway to his cronies and pet environmental special interests.

Oh, and the reason that Comey had to re-open the investigation into Hillary Clinton was because Andrew McCabe sat on and concealed the existence of the Wiener laptop for almost a month before he was forced to turn it over for discovery. Had he managed to conceal it for another week, Hillary would probably have been president and swept all of this corruption under the rug never to be heard about... http://www.foxnews.com/politic...

Not conspiracy theory, facts my friend.

FBI lovers' latest text messages: Obama 'wants to know everything'

Obama BUSTED!!!!

I love your post. Zero facts, zero logic, but somehow I'm the "moronic denier". Since you clearly failed debate (or never had to take it), here's a tip: when a side reverts to name calling and logical fallacies (Ad hominem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and appeal to majority https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...), that in it'self is a flat out lie ( https://www.skepticalscience.c... ) they typically have a very weak position.

And no, the AGW scientists have been caught a number of times falsely manipulating the numbers (FACT)

The AGW "scientists" mathematical models have been wildly inaccurate: http://www.drroyspencer.com/wp... (how you can look at that graph and not doubt the quality of their predictions is beyond me) but still you want to treat them like a hard science... Good luck with that.

I have facts and evidence, you have blind faith in "scientists" who are out to make a buck vis a vi federal grant money. Get back to me when you have more facts and less name calling...

As you said, thanks for playing.

You know - the guy whose wife got almost $1 million from Hillary! cronies - while he was "investigating" Hillary!'s illegal email server.

Yes, Andrew McCabe, former Deputy Director of the FBI. A long-time and close Clinton ally, Terry McAuliffe, directed in total $760,00.00 to Jill McCabe's campaign for Virginia State Senate.

FBI No. 2 did not disclose wife's ties to Clinton ally, records show

Bureau boss McCabe under Hatch Act investigation>

Jill McCabe's campaign appears to be have been a front for receiving a monetary bribe in exchange for obstructing or delaying the Clinton server-gate investigation past the presidential election. There is unquestionable evidence that he tried sitting on it:

McCabe, FBI Knew About More Clinton Emails Well Before Comey's Announcement in 2016.

Washington Post: IG was investigating why McCabe appeared not to act on Weiner emails

$760,00.00 is an insane amount of money to donate for a state senate seat in Virginia, vastly disproportionate to both the value of the seat to the Democrat party and to what other candidates receive. What you need to know to understand that this was actually a monetary bribe directed to her husband is that in Virginia any money which is not spent on a campaign can be kept for personal use.

Leftover campaign money can fund almost anything in Virginia

If we include the recent revelation that McCabe's signed the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campagin, it then appears that, all together, Hillary Clinton bribed McCabe at the least to:

- Help Hillary win the election by covering up or delaying revelation of evidence against her.

- Make false charges against Trump before the FISA court and then spy on the Trump campaign.

Clinton allies in the Obama administration gained access to secret FBI intelligence on Trump using hundreds of unmasking requests.

The cleansing of the FBI, which you accuse Trump of performing/contemplating, would target people to for being disloyal to him, but those so loyal to Hillary Clinton, that they were willing to subvert the democratic process by any means necessary, including leaks and other abuses of their offices.

To allude, as you do, that this is simply Trump's vendetta against "true patriots", is exactly the bullshit you claim to be so adept at discerning.
