Re: We need examples of the elleged Russian action
Both sides were being played - it wasn't just pro trump but more a "sow discord". At least those are the allegations. For example:
http://www.houstonpress.com/ne...
http://www.foxnews.com/politic...It's not Trump voters are idiots for believing Russian trolls, it's there are enough idiots on both sides that it's easy to manufacture conflict - which then gets reported in the media creating more conflict and on we go.

Re:The root of this problem
The root of this problem is that MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, The New York Times, and virtually all the mainstream media has lost all credibility in the eyes of conservatives
Bullshit. You can find exactly the same stories on Fox, and sometimes even Breitbart if you can stomach the spin (how they attempt to defend the repeal of Net Neutrality is absolutely painful to read). People simply choose not to read news they disagree with, regardless of the source.
"ObamaCare repeal would leave 32 million more without insurance" What liberal rag is this headline from? Fox.

Regulate Google, Break up Facebook, Twitter
"Much of this techlash is misguided."
Lets list some top shelf, recent bad things happening at the big tech giants:
- Google is suppressing relevant links in your search results that don't agree with their world view and/or whatever country you are searching from. If a conservative organization that controlled 90% of all search was doing this, it would be wall to wall media coverage, but the truth is Google is warping reality, rather than using straight relevancy to your search terms, now they are also deciding what is relevant.Google must be regulated as a common carrier to protect the free exchange of ideas (a ubiquitous search engine is the very definition of a common carrier), and only a very narrow list should be censorable, and that list must be defined by the government with federal oversight and transparency and accountability to the people, not some unaccountable corporation. For example, sites inciting actual unjustified violence (in their content, not in some random user generated comment), sites promoting violent jihad, sites promoting harming children, etc.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articl...
https://www.usnews.com/opinion...
https://www.reddit.com/r/googl...- Google and Facebook combined control 60% of all advertising revenue on the web, and routinely block content from receiving revenue if they don't agree with it (conservative video blogs on Youtube for example.) No other entity has more than 5% market share of online advertising. http://fortune.com/2017/07/28/...
- Google recently fired an employee who was asked for input on their internal hiring policies. When he highlighted a number of reasonable, demonstrable facts that contradict Google's diversity initiatives, one of his upper level managers leaked his memo to the press and he was subsequently fired (they are now facing a massive class action lawsuit, and more and more stories of the fascist intolerant alt left behavior at Google are coming out.) (no citation needed, well documented on slashdot.)
- Facebook first facilitated Russian (and likely Chinese and others) meddling by allowing false advertising stories to run during the election, then they tried to implement news censors, the vast majority of which were targeted against conservative sites, to the point that there was massive backlash and they got hauled in front of congress to explain WTF they were doing. They utilized blatantly biased censors as well as sites like politifact (which has very little facts beyond the actual name, and is a demonstrated shill for the alt left and not some non-partisan group) and the ADL (also an alt left hit squad group with zero credibility to anyone who has been paying attention).
https://gizmodo.com/former-fac...
https://www.washingtontimes.co...
Some concrete examples of conservative banning: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/20...- Twitter has been caught red handed gleefully describing how they shadow ban people for expressing political views with which they disagree, rather than advocating anything objectively wrong. The political bans have been 90% right leaning people. Those on the left who have been banned have been advocating actual violence, and often associated with the terrorist group Antifa.

Re: Meanwhile...
Another individual incapable of using a search engine, it seems.
Here you go. There's a list of up to 15 crimes she may be guilty of based on the email issue alone. Anyone else would have been hauled into court over this years ago. That she hasn't been is yet more evidence of the breakdown of the rule of law in this country. Throw the book at the commoners, look the other way for the elites.

Re:They talk funny
Well, there's this thing where Trump doesn't pay his contractors and employees, has been sued in court 60 times for it, and apparently loses the lawsuits. So that's a con man's behaviour. http://www.foxnews.com/politic...
The guy lies constantly. Like, nearly every statement out of his mouth is demonstrably false; I'm not even talking about the things that are up for interpretation. He makes statements that have no basis in reality and are repeatedly shown to be false, like his polling numbers, the number of people that voted for him, the size of his electoral college victory, the effectiveness of his administration in passing bills, etc. He also hasn't been good about keeping his political promises...but we'll leave that out for now because that's never a meaningful measure of a politician.
Not to mention that his properties are making a lot of money because people want access to him and other politicians. https://www.theatlantic.com/po...
The CNN link you posted shows his net worth went down, and the claim was because of a rough real estate market in New York--it's not clear that his presidency has any effect on that at all. That is, he probably would've lost money in a bad market regardless.
There's no long con here, just a con.

Re:I probably would have done the autism angle
(his race - you think similar views expressed in this scenario by a fashionable race would have resulted in a firing)?
Saying "fashionable race" makes you sound like a really stable genius.
And conservative-correctness is everywhere. For example, this guy was fired for saying all he wanted for xmas was white genocide. This university newspaper fired a reporter for an anti-white column. This nurse was fired for anti-white tweets. L'Oreal fired this spokesmodel for her anti-white post on facebook. Shirley Sherrod was fired by the Obama administration after Breitbart quoted her out of context to make her look racist. This professor was fired after saying it was OK for a BLM protest to ban white people from joining. Pomona fired the head of their LGBTQ resources center for saying the police enforce white supremacy.

Re:Dummies
The point was that scientists have claimed several things in the past that turned out to be false and that was even known to them to be false, usually because of political pressure and the threat of pulling grant money for going against the grain. Your attempt to distract from this point is laughable.
Distorted data? Feds close 600 weather stations amid criticism they're situated to report warming quote: "the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has closed some 600 out of nearly 9,000 weather stations over the past two years that it has deemed problematic or unnecessary, after a long campaign by one critic highlighting the problem of using unreliable data."
There are hundreds of weather monitoring stations that are installed improperly, including beside runways where hot jet exhaust will blow on them and next to concrete structures that will throw off measurements in either direction due to heat rolling off of and sunlight reflecting off of the concrete, or my favorite: the ones placed above trash burn barrels. Lest you attempt to sneer "Fox News!!!11" as if that's a valid logical dismissal, they are not the only ones mentioning this issue.
Then there's this handy Wikipedia list of scientists that go against the consensus.
Personally, I doubt that 50-100 years of temperature measurements, regardless of accuracy, is sufficient to create climate models that are accurate since planetary climate change takes place over many thousands of years, not mere centuries. We have insufficient data to know if we are warming because of humans or if it's all just coincidental correlation based on a warming cycle that was set to happen anyway. My position is one of climate agnosticism; we simply do not have enough information and anyone claiming to have enough is making extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence. -

Re:Same Ol' Argument...
It's amazing to me how many people are so willfully uninformed about this subject yet so strongly opinionated.
The data is from James Hansen, a respected climate scientist, not the New York Times. If you're not going to listen to experts in the field, then where are you getting your information? Feel free to recompile that dataset - it takes a lot of work. Unless you're willing to do that, then your opinion on its validity doesn't carry much water.
Is this a better source?

Re:Meh
Americans killed by anti-fascists: 0
Bullshit. There have been a significant number of cops killed in ambush style killings this year alone, increasingly often by people who've bought into the "anti-fascist"/anti-cop rhetoric of the left. And additionally, racially-motivated killings happen all the time against whites as well, you just will never hear them identified as such by the media because when it's a white victim, it's *never* treated as a hate crime by the media or government (even if the perpetrators are screaming racial epithets as they attack the person).

A fashion industry for words.
The term of choice used to be "racist", but that's been so overused in the past year and a half that they have to switch to using another word.
I've been following the zeitgeist of this. Until around December of last year, people would flee from the word, conceding the argument to whoever first uses the word to describe the other side. Then in December people started ignoring the word a little, then Jan/Feb people were like "meh" about it, and around March people started (note: started, not widely) embracing the word.
Then "OK, I'm racist" started popping up, but it wasn't really attached to the *person*, it was attached to the position. One could say "OK, I'm racist" for posting an opinion about strong immigration control. Or "OK, I'm racist" for posting an opinion about limiting visas or voter ID.
Through the summer, "racist" started to be applied to just about everything. Tigers are racist. Perfectionism is a form of racism. Two white parents having a white child is racist. I'm not making that last one up, it's "[...] one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy" - don't you know?
Now racist has completely lost its meaning. No one online seems to pay any attention to it at all.
Sexual assault is pretty big right now, but it's fading fast. It was a flash in the pan with people like Harvey Weinstein, but quickly got more ridiculous. You can tell it's on it's way out because Fart rape is a thing.
(Side note: "Trump is literally Hitler" is pretty-much dead, the last nail in that coffin was recognizing Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel.)
So now they need a new word, and it's probably going to be nazis for awhile. Expect this to go on for a couple of months and get progressively more ridiculous, probably though the primaries of next year.
Then Ramadan comes up (May 15 to June15), many terrorist actions will make the news cycle(*), and it's likely that "Islamaphobe" will be the word of the day.
It's basically the fashion industry for words.
(*) Just extrapolating from past years, such as last year viz. London. OK, I'm racist.

Facebook censorship must end...
Facebook needs to do far more than just curtail fake news. It tries to curtail "hate speech", however does not have a clear policy on what exactly constitutes "hate speech". As a result, Facebook moderators routinely curtails the free expression of conservative ideas. Just because a person disagrees with you does not make it "hate speech". Just because you do not like what a person has posted does not make it "hate speech". In truth, very little of what gets labeled as "hate speech" is truly "hate speech". Facebook should remember that it MUST embrace the concept of ideological neutrality or it will be working hand in hand with those that produce fake news.

Re:No, children, I am not trolling
"The police acted stupidly." -- BHO
They did act stupidly, and what's more, they acted like racist fuckbags. And we need to be calling them out on it, and they know they are in the wrong! Here, let me provide as evidence an article on the subject from Faux News. Why would I want to do such a thing? Because amongst their long list of repudiations from police (as if they were in any way relevant) there are absolutely zero counterarguments against Obama's statement which do not boil down rapidly to "we don't like to say bad things about police, and we don't like it when you say bad things about police, because we are police." Obama did make his statement with the "benefit of the facts", one of which is that black people are unfairly profiled and targeted for harassment because of the color of their skin.
Followed by a "beer summit" to try to play it off.
I googled beer summit and I discovered the following:
An independent panel with experts from across the nation published a report on June 30, 2010, which states that "Sergeant Crowley and Professor Gates each missed opportunities to 'ratchet down' the situation and end it peacefully" and share responsibility for the controversial July 16 arrest. Crowley could have better explained how uncertain and potentially dangerous it is to respond to a serious crime-in-progress call and why this can result in a seemingly rude tone. Gates could have tried to understand Crowley's view of the situation and could have spoken respectfully to Crowley. The report cites research that shows people's feelings about a police encounter depend significantly on whether they feel the officer displays respect and courtesy.
IOW, an independent panel found that Gates acted inappropriately. "Do as you're told and you won't get shot" is a message for hostages, not citizens. Which do you consider yourself?

Re:The right way
Regulation comes from government.
Hence why its tongue-in-cheek and not literal.
A business can't regulate itself
No. But it can control what service it provides to its customers, which is what the GP was referring to. I'm sure you'd have figured that out if you'd actually gone ahead and turned on your brain as I recommended.
that made it into the economic powerhouse it is today
No, being neutral made it into an economic powerhouse. NN rules were imposed specifically because the major ISPs were starting to intentionally break neutrality and the FCC at the time decided that was a bad idea and put a stop to it.
Comcast is now able to run THEIR network as they see fit,
Yeah, and how they see fit is going to be "screw over the customer as much as possible because the only competition is doing the same thing so our customers don't really have a choice." As long as they don't fuck it up so bad that people start cutting off their internet service completely, they're laughing all the way to the bank. In the meantime the rest of society gets to suffer greatly. Or at least go back to 90's AOL-style "curated" internet services which is pretty close to suffering.
If you don't like Comcast service, don't buy it.
And instead.. just don't use the internet? In 2017? What fucking planet do you think this is?
If you don't like the choice of ISPs in your area, move.
To where exactly? Most of the US is served by Comcast, Verizon and/or AT&T and there's precious few places with options besides those three (and even in most of the places with a different brand -- they're also a local monopoly and probably doing the same shit as much as they can manage.) I guess Canada's always available.
And of course that's not counting the fact that its not fucking easy, or even possible, for most people to uproot their entire life and move halfway across the country in the vein hope that Comcast in Arizona is somehow less shitty than Comcast in Delaware.
You have no right to tell another person or a group of people who own a businesses what to do or how to run their business
No, I don't. But the government does. One of the downsides of being a major, close-to-essential service is that you get subject to stronger oversight. Yes that breaks pure capitalist philosophy but who the fuck cares? If its better for society then its worth it for such an important service. You could apply the exact same argument to your phone company, your water company, your gas company, etc. All of those systems are regulated more than simply "do whatever the fuck you want" because modern society simply doesn't function if they're able to fuck people over too much in the name of profit.
Except the report that said Trump won the presidency
What does that have to do with anything?
where he ran on repealing Net Neutrality
No he didn't. He ran on racism and tax cuts for the middle class. At least he's still going strong on one of those.
I can't even find much mention of NN related to Trump prior to the recent bullshit and most of what I have found sounds like if he thought about it at all, it was purely in the context of "anything Obama did needs to be undone," rather than because he cared about the issue to any great degree.
their Democrat weighted polls said Trump would lose too
You mean like those Trump-hating lefties over at Fox News? Nobody expected Trump to win.

Re:He's right.
Why is it if I criticize one news source I must automatically subscribe to another?
Because there's only one other person ill-informed enough to declare CNN "FAKE news" with nothing to back it up. Siding with CNN's chief critic suggested to me that you were a fan. Apologies if you're simply like-minded.
So CNN is on par with FOX news...
Yes. They both have good records of issuing accurate, biased stories. Fox's often edge closer to editorials (e.g. justifying atrocious behavior from our President), but neither makes a habit of lying. Either is a much better source of facts than our White House.
I'll ask again: What's your source that does so much better than CNN?

Re:Crazy to bring Trump into this at all
You know, you shouldn't buy into all the conspiracy theories and bullshit lies the deranged talk radio circuit want's to sell you.... it makes you look like a stark raving mad lunatic completely out of touch with reality.
The FBI has no say over who Trump hired for his campaign, and unless you're admitting that Trump is a complete fucking idiot that can't do a damn thing right without his hands being held, you probably shouldn't suggest they should have any say. Trump fucked that up. He was an idiot that didn't vet his personnel, and now a bunch of whiny little hyper-partisan bitches want to blame someone other than him. Get up off your knees; Trumps wife should be the one sucking his cock.... unless you really, really want to.
Right now Mueller appears to be working right up the chain... and each lower level person he flips into talking is just more evidence against the higher ups. I shouldn't have to say that.. that SHOULD be a pretty common knowledge tactic for anyone that has any brain cells functioning. I'm not sure what your problem is, maybe head-up-ass syndrome or head-up-partisan-political-dogma ass syndrome.
As for the "uranium one" scandal... you mean the scandal where a bunch of republican want-a-be propagandists took a break from lying about pedo shops in pizza joints, and aides being killed for whatever reason (both outright lies... why do conservatives lie so much, by the way?) and decided to try lie yet again?

Re:If the registrars/hosters are liable...
so your comparisons to Google's situation fall apart right from the get-go.
The subject of the thread still lists hosters (of services) in addition to registrars. Moreover, registrars — such as Google — have an even greater responsibility. Whereas a hosting provider may choose to discontinue service to a particularly unpleasant customer, a registrar should not have such ability — certainly not without first seeing the customer's domain safely migrated elsewhere.
Speaking of IANA, it, rather than the US government, is the organization with the authority you're talking about. The USG gave it away in 1998 to ICANN
Bullshit. Whatever it is ostensibly, the governance of the Internet is still very much controlled by the US government with ICANN allowed to do its thing only as long the US is Ok with it. Many of the root DNS-servers are US-owned...
As I said earlier, the domain-registrars are very government-like in their very purpose, like Registries of Deeds, for example...
The courts have repeatedly ruled that inciting violence—which is what The Daily Stormer is accused of—is an unlawful form of speech
You aren't offering any citations — how is mere accusation of inciting violence sufficient for government to suppress speech?..
But, meanwhile, do I understand you correctly, that you'll have no problem with any and all "Antifa" sites losing their domains? They aren't merely "accused" of inciting violence, not even merely observed engaging in it, they openly admit it.
don't you dare suggest that private entities are obligated to assist them
Just as Daily Stormer agreed to Google's terms, Google have agreed to — and did for a while — host them regardless of their views, voluntarily. They did not have to take them, but they did.
Notary Publics are private too, and they aren't obligated to serve anyone in particular. But, once they notarize your signature, they can't — should not be able to — withdraw their certification on the basis of you being an asshole...
The sudden pull of the domain-registration is a scandal and a violation of the Nazis' civil rights.

Re:We must continue investigating Russia!
If we don't, Democrats might have to face the possibility that Hillary Clinton lost because she was a horrible, corrupt human being and that the Democratic Party's ideas are deeply unpopular with the American public.
The first never stopped anyone from becoming President before(and certainly didn't stop Trump), and the second is untrue, since at last count, the American public voted for her more than Trump, and as a party, the Democrats are hardly unpopular, certainly not by any great margin compared to the GOP.
If they were, the GOP wouldn't need to engage in such gerrymandering and voter discrimination practices as they have been found guilty of committing numerous times.
Why cover the corruption trial of a sitting Democratic U.S. Senator when Trump's doorman's cousin might have talked to a Russian once?
Same reason you'll never talk about a Republican Governor resigning in disgrace when it's possible Hillary once saw somebody stealing a grape from CostCo and didn't report it.
No, by all means let's talk about RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! more, no matter how many anonymous leads turn out to be bunk, how many dead ends and retractions, no matter how many "smoking guns" that turn out to be neither smoking nor guns.
Actually, it's getting more and more substantial every day. And the more shrill your cries for ignoring it, the more likely it is a problem.
Unlike you know, Obama's birth certificate that you spent 8 years crying about from sea to shining sea.
Anything to avoid rethinking Democratic dogma and admit that Donald Trump will be President of the United States of America for the next 3+ years and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it.
What are you talking about? There are 435 members of the House, any one of whom could file for impeachment, there are dozens of state attorneys who could charge and arrest him, there are a number of people who could report him incompetent under the 25th Amendment, and of course, Trump could resign himself.

No, by all means let's talk about RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! more, no matter how many anonymous leads turn out to be bunk, how many dead ends and retractions, no matter how many "smoking guns" that turn out to be neither smoking nor guns.
Anything to avoid rethinking Democratic dogma and admit that Donald Trump will be President of the United States of America for the next 3+ years and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it.

Re:No Bias?
Actually the voting public didn't pick Hillary and further Bruce Spiva, a lawyer for the DNC, argued in its motion to dismiss that the party holds the right to select its candidate any way it chooses and is not bound by pledges of fairness. Further still the super delegates voted in many states for Hillary despite 10 and 20 point leads by Sanders. If super delegates weren't part of the formula, Sanders would have won hands down. The DNC chair resigned in disgrace over this, and small donor donations to democrats have hit historic lows, but there are no rule changes in sight and the DNC will just pick who they like, fairness or public voting be damned.

Not buying it
Facebook's discrimination against anyone that isn't progressive or liberal is very well documented. Unfortunately this is an issue as they have a monopoly on social media the likes of which the world has never seen. This gives them the ability to manipulate public discussion and discord that is the envy of many nation states. An example of Facebook abusing their monopoly is their attempts to redefine the truth using progressive political activists as fact checkers.

http://www.breitbart.com/radio...People are waking up and realizing that the facebook ministry of truth is more focused on propaganda than facts. It hasn't even been a year and their fact checking efforts are having only a very slight difference or even backfiring.

However, Facebook will unquestionably learn to be more subtle in their political manipulations in the future. When you privatize the public square you also effectively privatize constitutional rights. Should facebook be broken up or regulated? Their position, power and propensity to abuse their power has created a threat to our democracy.

Re:Have you seen the South?
No, he's listening to the news. You are listening to propaganda from government turnip Kris Kobach. Which is pretty funny because you seem like the type to go full-rabid on accusing everyone else of being a sucker for librul propaganda.
Not that any of these will change your mind, you can't reason a man out of a position they never reasoned themselves into. But in case anyone else reading along is wondering just WTF are you talking about:
Sen. Shaheen: There's No Evidence of Illegal Voting in New Hampshire
Is there evidence of voter fraud in New Hampshire, as Kris Kobach said? Not really
Kobach’s Bogus ‘Proof’ of Voter FraudMeanwhile, there are actual cases of voter fraud. Steve Bannon. for example. The reason turnips are all so worked up about voter fraud? They are the ones doing it. So they imagine everybody else is just as guilty as themselves because in turnip world there is no right and wrong, there is just your tribe and their tribe.

She has blamed a lot of people, probably most of America at this point.

Re: Which amendment ?
You might put your fingers in your ears and shake in a tantrum, but this piece at Fox answers all of your questions:
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion...
Here is the immediate quote:
"At the end of the 19th century, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that congress has “plenary power” (meaning full and complete) to regulate immigration. Derived from Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, the doctrine is based on the concept that immigration is a question of national sovereignty, relating to a nation’s right to define its own borders and restrict entrance therein."
The linked opinion piece (the words of lawyers are always "opinion") cites many Supreme Court decisions, including why the argument of prosecutorial discretion does not apply to a class of 800,000 people.

Re:I don't get it
Value is what people believe it to be. The US dollar is just as imaginary as bitcoin, the difference is there is an infrastructure in place to process it, whereas bitcoin is non-central. There are plenty of places you can exchange bitcoin, like gold, but issues like the one in the article do happen mostly because it's still in its infancy. Playing a mmorpg someone went off on how it's insane that in game gold has real value when it's imaginary, I pointed out that the in game economy of world of Warcraft alone exceeds that of Venezuela
