You dumb shills are so fun to toy with, where do I even begin:

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, 1,625 UN and US inspectors spent two years searching 1,700 sites at a cost of more than $1bn. Yesterday they delivered their verdict
Bush knew Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction
bush admits there were no WMDs in IRAQ
Report concludes no WMD in Iraq

And this is from fucking 2014:
No, There's Still No Evidence There Was an Active WMD Program in Iraq

Saddam was killed because he wanted to sell oil in Euros, which was a direct threat to the petro dollar system.
Just like Gaddafi was killed because he wanted to create a gold backed African currency, which was also a direct threat to the petro dollar system.

If you people are really that stupid and ignorant, then America really deserve to fall.

The Stevens Networking book is still up on the list, I'm very glad.

I remember a story about him and his kid. They went to go to Wayne's World 2, and in the movie they show his book. His son, "dad you're so cool, that's your book". Yes, you were cool. RIP....

Didn't you hear? Meritocracy is simply camouflaged racism.

Smells like more of what I am starting to refer to as 'Trumped up news'.

Not that I support the man (or in fact could really care less directly about US politics), however it seems very important to quite a group of people to
make it look like the sky is falling right now. It is quite sad to see the side that believes they stand for fairness, doing the right thing, caring of others, etc
having to throw so much dirt so bitterly. Its like watching monkeys at the zoo fighting over scraps.

No it's not. It raising the alarm over alarming actions. It's the same thing thing that happened to some other guy. It's the same thing that yet some other guy did many many times.

when you think the press is critical of you, and not the other guy, you're just biased. when you complain and criticize almost non-stop, then call it unfair when other people criticize and complain about you, you're just a fucking cry-baby.

So how many Republicans in power actually said he wasn't a legitimate president?

Let's see, Try here. That's a lot of gabbling, isn't it? At best, you have them pandering to the Birthers, which is shameful on its own, perhaps more so.

That's just in Congress, doesn't count Sheriff Arpaio or Donald Trump.

You kinda lose on the Birther High Ground with Donald Trump there.

How many made it a point to boycott his inauguration?

I dunno, but at least one was asinine at a State of the Union. Plenty of incivility from the GOP at that.

And face it, Scalia had been running his mouth off for a while too. And Alito got so hysterical he totally had a bitchfest over a majority opinion that he joined a dissent just to whine.

Right. Ignoring the fact that 99% of stock is owned by the 1%, so that the collective ownership of stock by the other 99% of the population amounts to approximately nothing. It's not ownership if you have no voice in its dispensation and the only thing you can do with it is sell it to someone else.

As of 2010, the wealthiest 1% of households owned 35% of all stock owned by U.S. households.

The wealth gap is bad, but not nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

Well, apparently the President Elect of the USA believes the anti-vaccination idea, so...soon it will move on from "fear and doubt" into "official policy".

Good idea. We'll go back to longbows.

No thanks, longbows were used to justify conscripting thousands of innocent English peasants to wage war for the benefit of a king.

Let's not repeat that mistake.

You will personally assure all of our military folks that the people who routinely shoot at them will stop doing so, right? As soon as you've got all crazy Islamists signing a binding agreement that they will only slaughter people with scimitars from now on, that should help.

Why bother with an agreement about that? Why not just stop propping up dictatorships that benefit from most of the people being indoctrinated into believing the wildest and craziest ideas? We could even stop sending them arms that they use to oppress their citizens.

Take responsibility for our own actions. Like moral people do.

You do understand how defense works, don't you? Like how, for example, it took actual bullets fired from actual guns to stop a terrorist truck driver from running over and backing over them again just this past Saturday? Never mind. Get back with us when someone has violently attacked you, if you survive, and let us know what you think then.

You do know how violence and oppression work, don't you? Like for example, how the police have been known to break into the wrong house, and kill an innocent grandmother themselves? No, you haven't any familiarity with that? Perhaps a grandfather beaten? Perhaps some innocent students shot by the national guard? Maybe you heard about this lawsuit? Or this incident? No? Then get back to us when somebody, purporting to stand up for law and order, subjects you to the force and violence you so cavalierly hand-wave as necessary, and if you survive, let us know what you think.

Like Tom Wolfe said, if being mugged can turn a liberal into a conservative, being jailed can turn a conservative into a liberal.

But I get it, you want to sneer down at others because that's the way you've been trained and indoctrinated. Too bad you're blinder than anyone else.

Keep playing your vidya games though, they're sure teaching you a lot about the real world. We really do have Quad-Damage power-ups!

In the John Waters-esque sector of northwest Baltimore — equal parts kitschy, sketchy, artsy and weird — Gerry Mak and Sarah Magida sauntered through a small ethnic market stocked with Japanese eggplant, mint chutney and fresh turmeric. After gathering ingredients for that evening’s dinner, they walked to the cash register and awaited their moments of truth.

“I have $80 bucks left!” Magida said. “I’m so happy!”

“I have $12,” Mak said with a frown.

The two friends weren’t tabulating the cash in their wallets but what remained of the monthly allotment on their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program debit cards, the official new term for what are still known colloquially as food stamps.

Magida, a 30-year-old art school graduate, had been installing museum exhibits for a living until the recession caused arts funding — and her usual gigs — to dry up. She applied for food stamps last summer, and since then she’s used her $150 in monthly benefits for things like fresh produce, raw honey and fresh-squeezed juices from markets near her house in the neighborhood of Hampden, and soy meat alternatives and gourmet ice cream from a Whole Foods a few miles away.

“I’m eating better than I ever have before,” she told me. “Even with food stamps, it’s not like I’m living large, but it helps.”

Mak, 31, grew up in Westchester, graduated from the University of Chicago and toiled in publishing in New York during his 20s before moving to Baltimore last year with a meager part-time blogging job and prospects for little else. About half of his friends in Baltimore have been getting food stamps since the economy toppled, so he decided to give it a try; to his delight, he qualified for $200 a month.

“I’m sort of a foodie, and I’m not going to do the ‘living off ramen’ thing,” he said, fondly remembering a recent meal he’d prepared of roasted rabbit with butter, tarragon and sweet potatoes.

The Little Sisters of the Poor were just picking a legal fight rather than admit they used the coverage let doing more to actually help the poor who they are supposed to serve. Apparently filling out paperwork is so onerous, they'd rather pay a bunch of lawyers. To waste time. Even the Supreme Court punted.

The GOP was given everything they had wanted in healthcare reform, yet refused to get behind their own plan. Now they're stuck with years of repeal calls, but they can't afford to deliver. And they have nothing to counter offer.

Just wait about a month and a half AT&T and Verizon. Everything will be a-ok.

You think they didn't have their bases covered had the real DEMONSTRATED corruptocrat won last month?

Hillary Clinton rakes in Verizon cash while Bernie Sanders supports company’s striking workers

Verizon paid Hillary $225,000 for speech and poured money into Clinton Foundation. Executives give to her campaign

In some ways, it would hard for Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton to be more different.

Hillary Clinton, a Wall Street-backed multimillionaire, served for six years on the board of directors of Walmart, the world’s largest company based on sales. She remained silent at a time when the mega-corporation was viciously cracking down on workers’ attempts to unionize.

...

The Hillary Clinton campaign, meanwhile, has received tens of thousands of dollars from Verizon executives and lobbyists.

That’s not all. For a May 2013 speech, the corporation paid Clinton a whopping $225,000 honorarium, according to her tax records.

Verizon has also given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation, which investigative journalist Ken Silverstein has referred to as a “so-called charitable enterprise [that] has served as a vehicle to launder money and to enrich family friends.”

Moreover, the Clinton Foundation has partnered directly with Verizon, which is notorious for its vehement opposition to unions. The corporation is a partner in the Clinton Health Matters Initiative, and said it is “proud to partner with the Clinton Foundation.”

Yep, that from that RAAAAACIST!!! alt-right rag Salon.

You REALLY think Verizon wasn't pulling for CROOKED Liar Hillary! over Trump?

Really?

What color is the sky on your planet. Cuz it sure as shit ain't blue.

America is the only place in the world where it is legally permitted to criticize anyone and everyone.

See, for example: The creepy tyranny of Canada's hate speech laws

That reminds me of a joke from the Bush era.

American: "My country is free because we can stand in the middle of DC and call our leader an idiot".
Iraqi: "So what. I can stand in the middle of Baghdad and call your leader an idiot".

America is the only place in the world where it is legally permitted to criticize anyone and everyone.

See, for example: The creepy tyranny of Canada's hate speech laws

I almost forgot. Here is one example of the death threats Trump supporters have been handing out since his not-yet-verified election, not to mention a woman who took a picture with herself and Hillary Clinton after the election has been receiving death threats from Trump supporters.

And while we're on the topic of death threats, you conveniently forgot Trump supporters did the exact same thing during the primary.

But please, let's hear how it's only Hillary's supporters who are sending out death threats. After all, when it comes to Trump and his supporters, facts don't matter.

Well, given the voter fraud that happened in the primaries in Arizona:

http://www.salon.com/2016/03/3...

Maybe the polls there just reflect the chances that Hillary can rig it.

ISIS is failing, while Trump's ties by electronic evidence to both Putin and Russian-state-sponsored groups are stacking up, all while Russian aggression is increasing, and Trump hasn't shown any evidence of a backbone that would support US interests against Russian aggression. He has even demeaned NATO, the backbone of global security and stability for nearly 70 years.

Sorry about the autoplay crap, but that's where he published it.
Here's another link if you prefer
http://will.tip.dhappy.org/blo...

While this is certainly interesting and deserves attention (I voted it up in the firehose), it's unlikely to be of any use during the campaign.

For one, the server was registered in 2009 and is unlikely to be anything related to the elections. Trump's business is pretty big, and he has contacts all over the world.

(For comparison, the Podesta group is registered with the U.S. government as a lobbyist for Sberbank. Google "Podesta Russia" for lots of links and info.)

For another, if it's nefarious it's more likely to be some sort of mole or agent within Trump's organization. Again, Trump's business is huge, and there are probably one or more foreign government agents working for him (also in Google, Facebook, and a hundred other big organizations).

Also, there might be a perfectly reasonable explanation. We should wait for the Trump campaign explanation, then see if their explanation seems reasonable. God only knows how many times we've done that for the Clintons!

And finally, it might be too little too late. Word on the street is that Clinton will be stepping down on Tuesday (tomorrow), Veritas is planning a "blockbuster" drop this week, Wikieaks is about to start phase three of its election coverage, and internal leaks from the campaign indicate that Hillary is coming apart at the seams: binge drinking, uncontrolled anger, and poor judgement in general.

As the saying goes, it's not over until its over.

Let's just wait for the election.

11 years without a major hurricane strike. I was pretty sure the east coast and at least NYC were supposed to be under water by now

http://www.salon.com/2001/10/2...

Oops

Under the right conditions, a "major hurricane" isn't required. Have we already forgotten Hurricane Sandy, the disaster which led a respected Republican to embrace a Kenyan?
http://www.thegatewaypundit.co...
Hurricane strikes are largely luck or the lack of it.

Also, try not to be US-centric - it's called GLOBAL warming; there has been some impressive typhoons in the past few years, including one that was 1/2 the size of India - or 2.5 times the size of Texas. That was Haiyan aka Super Typhoon Yolanda which killed 10,000 Filipinos.

There's also some dispute as to whether or not we'll see more superstorms as wind shear may be exacerbated by a warming world and that should reduce the number of hurricanes.

It is up to you to demonstrate there is evidence of a 'problem'. A statistic that simply says that there are less women than men in a given area is not evidence of a 'problem'. You've suggested there is a 'hostility' to women working in a given field...PROVE IT.

http://www.salon.com/2001/10/2...

Oops

I fully agree w/ you - I support Trump, regardless of whether or not what he said or did. The Clinton Foundation taking money from the Saudis and other Gulf emirates is more serious, and what's more - in the WikiLeaks dump, Clinton is shown being aware that the Saudis and the Qataris are secretly backing ISIS. If it is true that they are backing ISIS, then what Clinton is doing is downright treason. She's actively opposing Russia and the Baath regime in Syria for goodness knows why, while looking the other way while her friends back somebody w/ which the US is actively at war

Trump had an opportunity to expose this in the (final) debate, but he missed it. He's probably not even aware of it. http://www.salon.com/2016/10/1... " 2014 email from Hillary Clinton acknowledges, citing Western intelligence sources, that the U.S.-backed regimes in Saudi Arabia and Qatar have supported ISIS."

Of course, anybody who is up on the subject didn't need the email evidence.

But you're comparing Obama's naivite

It was not just Obama's naivette — Hillary Clinton was running the State Department at the time. More to the point, it was not just the two of them either — the entire Democratic Establishment thought so, dismissing "Republican hawks" as "war-mongers". Whether they did it for personal gain, like Clinton, or out of sheer idiocy, like Biden ( the fount of foreign policy expertise, according to Democrats), they'll keep doing it.

You undercut your case when you link sources like "freebeacon", "powerlineblog", "breitbart"

No, I don't. First of all, my sources also include WSJ, NYTimes, and even Politifact. For someone, who offers no citations at all, it is rather rich to complain about mine.

Second, a fact remains a fact, no matter, who reports it.

the Clinton foundation is one of the highest rated major charities in the US

Yeah, sure. And Obama is a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

what you have against a charity that spends nearly 90% of its funds on stamping out AIDS and other diseases [...]

See? No citation again. Let me help you. Of the $91.3mln spent by the foundation in 2014, according to their own tax-filings, only $5.2 million went to charitable grants.

Your "Podesta story" is about Podesta (not Clinton) [...] he probably divested

You mentioned a number of things about Trump's advisors, including Manafort, who once help Yanukovich. It is perfectly fair for me to bring up Podesta. And I can keep doing it, too.

Versus Trump, who personally has owned and run businesses heavily backed by Russians

Citations are missing again, khmm... Let's see, if I can help. This? No... Sorry, you'll have to do it yourself.

Russians occasionally making investments in companies related to people related to Clinton

Clintons received — both directly and via their Foundation — billions of dollars. A lot of that came from Putin-controlled entities. Just in 2015, for example, when she was already actively engaged in elections, they reported as much $10 million in income. What do you suppose, they sold, other than some more cattle futures?

Lol. Sucka.

[1] Clinton pal and advisor John Podesta was exposed in the Panama Papers (remember those?) as a registered lobbyist for Putin's bankers.

[2] If the Russians HAD this stuff and wanted maximum value, they would not waste it in a campaign where ALL the American media claim Hillary is a shoo-in victor. They would use it on her when she is in office for blackmail - particularly in the 2018 mid-terms where the damage would be maximized.

[3] There are plenty of Democrats who supported Bernie who are on the inside at the DNC and are probably outraged at the evil collusion between these Democrat leaders and the Clinton crime family which have been exposed to have rigged this whole election against Bernie and his supporters. This stuff could all be being leaked from within the DNC.

[4] The Obama and Clinton people have all the media parroting the Putin claims without a single thread of credible evidence, while hoping nobody remembers that Hillary has for years claimed to have pressed the "reset button" and restored relations with Russia, which were claimed to be terrible under Bush (even though Bush had persuaded Putin to do the previously unthinkable: let the US use bases in Khazakstan. Clinton and Obama are tag-teaming as the new Joe McCarthy, seeing Russians everywhere and trying to stir-up anti-Russian paranoia for domestic political gain - they're even ranting about nuclear war and claiming TRUMP is the one who might start one even though they keep claiming he is somehow tied to Putin.

Are you seriously claiming, it is your sincere belief, Bill Clinton has never sexually assaulted anyone? Please, say so.

Right now the only allegation of sexual impropriety made against Bill Clinton that's been shown to be true is an affair with a consenting woman

Right now there are simply no such proven allegations against Trump. Zero — confession without hard evidence do not count. And it was investigated by the best minds in the business — the most they could find was a Florida model attending Trump's party, whom he has offered to change into a swimsuit. Wow, the nerve! It was so pathetic, it made some Democrats laugh.

And it certainly doesn't make his wife a criminal.

His wife is — credibly — accused of suppressing his victims' accusations. That is not merely immoral, but criminal too.

Here's one for you: Coppin State University teacher D. Watkins calls for gun owners to be shot and compares them to slaveholders

How about this guy, calling for genocide of whites in South Africa.

Or this racist jerkoff, who calls for extermination of white people. How did this get aired on C-SPAN and not yanked, with mass protests and calls for this guy to face charges of hate crimes and incite to violence? If a white guy had said these exact same things on the air, the left would go absolutely apeshit. But why not when he does it?

Because the left are hypocrites and liars, that's why.

Spent years suggesting that a black president wasn't born in the US, despite a ton of excellent evidence to the contrary.

How is that racism?

It's an example extra layer of scrutiny applied only when the candidate is black. One only needs see the relative disinterest with which the birthers treated the fact that the exact scenario they were speculating about applied directly to Cruz.

Said a judge of Mexican heritage wasn't fit to judge him due to his heritage.

I did ask for actual quotes didn't I? And yet, you chose to paraphrase... What are you trying to slip here, uhm?

Nothing, I just don't want to waste time.

What Trump actually said, was that the judge — a Mexican racist himself ("La Raza" member) — may have a conflict of interest.

Which was dumb, despite the fact they kept confusing different "La Raza"s. But more to the point lots of white judges are members of ethnic professional groups, no one accuses them of being racist, so only making it an issue when it's a Mexican judge in a group for Mexican judges is racist.

If it is Ok to suspect, that an All-white jury may be unfair to a Black defendant, why is it "racist" to suspect, a Mexican may be unfair to a White one?

Judges, unlike juries, have specific training on how to deal with biases. And there's no reason to think that a Mexican would have a negative stereotype about a German.

Has proposed banning members of a religion from the US (very similar to racism).

Not racism. Stick to the topic.

There's a reason Duke and the other white supremacists continue to support Trump so much, he refuses to convincingly say they're wrong.

Would Bernie Sanders disavow Lenin?

Not sure, there's a reason I didn't support Sanders.

Has Hillary Clinton disavowed Al Sharpton, who, unlike Duke, actually encouraged racial violence

It was a lot more BLM than anti-Semitism, the anger was the perception that the life of a black child was treated as secondary to the life of the white (and Jewish) driver who had killed him.

Would Bernie Sanders disavow Lenin? Has Hillary Clinton disavowed Al Sharpton, who, unlike Duke, actually encouraged racial violence and is responsible for at least one Jew getting killed by a Black mob? No, she not only didn't disavow the asshole, she actively sought his endorsement and attended a rally at his organization.

but many of the things he says and does are quite racist.

So far, the number of actual racist quotes is a perfect zero... Keep trying...

Actually, I think a bunch of religious fanatics are responsible for ISIS.

Actually that's continuing to stick fingers in the ears. Who armed those religious fanatics? The United States. Who's the greatest recruiter for religious extremists? The U.S. military, when it bombs weddings and funerals and schools and markets and apartments and hospitals. Who's ensured that more countries are run by religious extremists? The United States, when it props up the most repressive government in the world, Saudi Arabia. The United States, when it overthrows secular governments in Afghanistan and Iran and Libya and Iraq and Syria (work in progress).

Okay, put up or shut up. Name one person who negligently got small amounts of classified data where it shouldn't be and faced serious criminal prosecution.

On what planet is Hillary's email server "small"? In order of proportion, you're comparing an anthill (sailor's cell phone) to Mt. Everest. With Mt. McKinley parked on top it (HRC's email server). Sandy Berger, by comparison, had a literal handful of documents (he had them in his pants pockets) and pled to 2 years probation, a $50,000 fine, and the loss of his security clearance and law license.

Do tell us how this election would go if Hillary was entering the debates with Trump on probation, disbarred, and without a security clearance for the first three years of her presidency. Oh, and part of the reason Berger was prosecuted? He destroyed the classified material he had. How many emails did Hillary delete from her server? Over 30,000. Sure, she claims those were personal, but she also claimed that none of them were marked classified at the time (pure mendacity as that information is inherently classified) but lied about that too.

Anyone else, the charges would include Obstruction of Justice, in addition to mishandling classified evidence.

The sailor deliberately took pictures of the submarine. This isn't negligence. This was a deliberate action, and presumably known to be illegal at the time.

Yes, taking pictures on his phone was a deliberate act. Setting up a private, unsecured, unauthorized email server to run 100% of your highly classified email communications was also a deliberate act. How much power does a cognitive dissonance generator require to ignore the parallels and the scale involved? Is it powered by a fusion reactor?

Deliberately put classified material where it doesn't belong and you get seriously prosecuted. Do that negligently and you aren't.

Nope. Going back to the sailor again, even the the DOJ prosecutors agree that he had no intent to distribute the pictures. Because intent is irrelevant in the government's eyes, only the action matters. The act of mishandling classified evidence. Just ask any whisteblower to face the DOJ's wrath, like John Kiriakou. The only person to go to prison for the CIA's brutal torture program....is the man who revealed it's existence.

Yeah, but Duke has a "real connection" to Trump, right?

Wasn't really the problem.

More an issue that Trump handled it poorly. Trump's amnesia for David Duke..

Even his VP can't do it.

But as far as I know, Hillary Clinton doesn't that problem, she's already identified Jeremiah Wright.

Yeah, 4 years ago. At this point shit Hillary said 4 years ago is claimed to be racism if Trump says it.

What's amazing to me is that Trump is easily the worst candidate the GOP could come up with - definitely within my life time - and they still have to make stupid stuff up about him. He's bad enough in reality.

this is high-tech and sexy and all but it tries to solve the problem too late. You'll never stop all of them that way. Look at the douchebag in France who murdered all those people by ramming them with a truck. How about they devote some of the megabucks they're spending on sexy space age surveillance on studying the causes like Saudi Arabia: http://www.salon.com/2016/01/0...
