Obey the President. Anything but total fealty is treason.

Can't wait to hear from Peter Navarro about the "special place in hell" for Senators that go against President Donald J. Trump. [ I imagine they will find Justin Trudeau to be very polite company ... :-) ]

I'm getting out my popcorn popper ...

Speaking of special places in hell, the Trumpvilles of little children separated from their parents are showing a rather disturbing side of the Republican party.

Someone did ask a rather troubling question though - where are the infants and little girls in these Trumpvilles? They were taken away from their parents, but are nowhere to be found.

Further, it's clear she used her position for financial gain. Very clear. At the expense of the United States.

Is it? Is it really? Want to provide some proof of that financial gain? After all, if it's so clear, you should be able to provide whatever's needed for those hapless FBI guys so she can be charged tomorrow, right? TBH, I'm sick of you conspiracy nutjobs (both sides) that just keep on repeating some tripe you heard in one of your echo chambers. Put up some real documentation or shut up.

How about the health care bit that she couldn't shove down our throats in 1994, shoved it down our throats as the ACA? Here, listen to Mr. Gruber (the "expert" that pushed it through) tell you how stupid you are - http://thehill.com/policy/heal...

The Clintons seem to be as corrupt as they come. From Hillary nearly getting disbarred when she worked at the Rose law firm to Bill & Hillary being disbarred after they left the WH. They are not nice people.

A Republican would already be years into his prison sentence by now if he did what she did at the same time.

Well, Trump's still going, and it's been documented that he's benefiting from his elected position. (His hotel in DC alone has a 50% increase in revenues since the presidency started, along with the sudden large number of legal actions in China going his and his family's way post election) I think you'll see more unsavory stories as administration actions are traced back to those that benefitted from them. Zinke is my personal favorite for next indictable current administration official. His actions as EPA head and interactions with lobbyists are billowing smoke. All that's needed is to find the fire.

Interesting. So what law has Trump broken because the Democrats would love to know of an actual law he's broken instead of the fake one - collusion. They've tried emoluments, other things that are very obscure and haven't been complained about in the history of the country. One by one they've been ruled to be not a concern. They're trying to conduct a coup. Just like they tried to do with Nixon.

GDP is doing very well, we're #1 again in the world. Consumer confidence is way back up. Unemployment is at a 43 year low. Black people are doing better than they have done under ANY Democratic President. Things are working a whole lot better. He's even bringing peace to the Korean peninsula. Something Obama really wanted to do and failed. He's putting politicians to shame all the way back to at least Eisenhower. Probably more like Lincoln. I thin

Can't wait to hear reactions from Trump minions. I'm sure Peter Navarro will have some choice words about warm real-estate for the Senators (good thing they aren't also Canadian - whew) for going against Trump. ( Although, the imagery of Senators stabbing Trump in the back sounds a little familiar ... How Similar are Trump and Caesar? )

I'm definitely against the electronic voting though. Especially in light of the fact that lots of those are closed source solutions, and many of them were shown to be hackable.

The fact in the matter is - once you have paper voting, performing fraud is so much harder then changing some numbers.

When I make a vote on a paper with a ball pen, it's nearly impossible to change it without a mark without replacing whole box. If someone gives me a tablet or a computer. How do I know that when I click my vote was marked correctly? Without me personally inspecting the code, then inspecting the hardware, I can never be sure.

Some sources: http://thehill.com/policy/cybe... It took hackers _minutes_ to hack into several different voting machines, and once it's modified there's really no way to prove the vote was different.

I'll be over here holing my breath waiting for wages to finally go up.

Thanks Trump!

P.S. if you vote for any Democrat, they have promised to the last being to cancel the tax cuts when they come up for renewal in a few years. Which amusingly means canceling the tax cuts only for people, not the corporate tax cuts which were permanently lowered.

It's especially sad as normally I vote for either Democrats or Republicans or Libertarians or Greens, just whoever I like best. But this global war on the people the Democrats seem to be undertaking has taken them right off the list of anyone I can seriously vote for (in national elections anyway, local is still usually more removed).

Democrats have been slowing down the confirmation process, so that Trump has many fewer people in place than other presidents at this point in their term.

Nope, actually, it's Trump's lack of nominees.

Good little lemming on blaming Democrats. Like for the embassy. You know, for the country that disinvited him.

Admittedly, it's within the rules and an aspect of Democratic resistance that is actually succeeding.

Kinda your own practice really.

Not exactly a success though.

That kind of ruling is what causes Civil Wars.

It's hurts the country but it does slow down Trump's agenda, and that's what matters most.

Actually, Trump's agenda of trying to put crazy shits in office is what's going to hurt the country.

Fortunately for him, his base is more concerned that heattacks the people who don't stand for the national anthem.

It's ok, he doesn't actually have any need to govern. He can just demand apologies.

So everyone with a Hispanic name must be an illegal immigrant!

So you're from the Cathy Newman school of argument, right? You're pathetic strawman removes all the context.

If you think the police are lenient on illegal immigrants you live in some sort of fantasy world of right-wing talking heads.

You're in Denial World, with blinders on to the current zeitgeist. Whether it's the "sanctuary" state, to the obstruction of justice tip-off mayor, to the cucked citizenry's failure to deliver even a manslaughter verdict.

If he's an illegal immigrant maybe they are going to not bother with the paperwork of citation and just deport him?

Wow, just wow. One, what makes you think they'd even be able to find him again? Two, what makes you think they have any desire to deport him, given the current zeitgeist? Three, if they wanted to deport him, the first step would have been to cite him. Driving without a license is against the law. Getting him into the system would have been the necessary first step to deportation, but only a first step, and hardly a guarantee.

You don't show any proclivity for an honest attempt at dialog, which requires reading, understanding, and acknowledging, but in the off-chance you decide to show some intellectual integrity, here's an article on the reality of deporting illegal immigrants.

You seem to have confused state with a few cities.

You seem to be woefully ignorant. A quick web search would have spared you some embarrassment.

Overall, are you aware that some things that seem perfectly normal and sensible today will inevitably become unpardonable moral sins in a generation, but there's no telling which things. What do you want in your permanent record, to be used by a government or employer that does not have your best interests in mind, 20 years from now?

So true. I know that /. is full of left wing types but the reality is that for decades the biggest abusers of these *has* been the left. SJWs embrace the following concepts:

Hounding people over their politics is acceptable

Seriously, it's amazing that the left hasn't pushed for re-education camps (yet). Despite this they have the gall to say that the real danger is from the right. Amazing.

It's in trumps style of negotiation. He's always going to go for the BEST deal that he can get, and this is not at all out of the ordinary for Trump.

Back when it was first announced, Scott adams almost immediately said "expect one of them, probably trump, to walk away at least once before any actual negotiations take place".

Fun to see these types of negotiating dynamics playing out on the world stage.

It sounds like Kim is the one who effectively walked away by threatening to pull out and then simply ignoring the US's entreaties.

Does that make Kim the master negotiator now?

Bill Maher comparing the Romeny campaign to the last days of Nazi Germany? http://thehill.com/video/campa...

Did you even read that or watch the interview? Bill Maher is comparing the end of the republican campaign to the last days of Nazi Germany -- basically saying that they didn't realize or admit that they were going to lose until the very last days of the election. There is absolutely no comparison between Romney and Hitler in terms of personality, politics, ideals, or anything else.

Besides all that, Maher is a single comedian. He is hardly a consensus for "the Left". Try again.

They bill of rights doesn't apply to them either

Wrong.

The bill of rights is a non-exhaustive list of human rights. Granted, not all of the rights are extended to non-citizens equally, for example foreigners can only purchase a firearm if they have an immigrant visa, and can only "receive" them for sporting purposes — not for self-defense. However, some rights are theoretically extended to citizens and non-citizens alike. Historically, for example, the USA has extended the rights under the first amendment to all people.

I asked DDG "which rights in the bill of rights apply to non citizens" and the second link it gave back to me was titled "Yes, illegal aliens have constitutional rights". However, it was surrounded by similar company. You could ask Google and see if it differs.

That said, plate readers do sort of hit every single citizen, which could be an unreasonable search issue.

We know what you can do with metadata if you have enough of it. It's dangerous. But we can't possibly stop our government from collecting it any more than we can stop Google. (They, too, have cars driving around with cameras on them...) So what do we do about it? I'd like to replace license plates with transponders, because they are ugly and affect aerodynamics. That would at least stop Google from recording our plate numbers (with good enough crypto, anyway.) But what can we do about our government?

Summary says the phone was federal issue, so it almost certainly has been compromised already - by the FBI or another agency.

Remember he's the same guy that while shouting about Hillary's email security was running his own extremely insecure server

But also remember that this was a painfully false equivalency put forth by partisan Democrats to excuse Hillary's violations of the law and her monumental hypocrisy, while the same DOJ that let her off with a free pass sent Kristian Saucier to prison for trifles in comparison. If it turns out that Trump has sent thousands of messages from a personal (not government issue) iPhone and then deletes much of the evidence, then we can say "but his phone!"

What? All your phoney misdirection doesn't change the fact that Donald Trump Jr and Silent Jared, and Paul "House Arrest" Manafort all had a meeting with a self-identified Russian government lawyer about Russia's assistance to the Trump campaign.

...

I think you missed the fact that the transcripts of all the testimony from that meeting just got leaked.

Aaaaand - nothing.

And what about that Russian lawyer? Oh yeah, this:

Exclusive: DOJ let Russian lawyer into US before she met with Trump team

The Russian lawyer who penetrated Donald Trump’s inner circle was initially cleared into the United States by the Justice Department under “extraordinary circumstances” before she embarked on a lobbying campaign last year that ensnared the president’s eldest son, members of Congress, journalists and State Department officials, according to court and Justice Department documents and interviews.

This revelation means it was the Obama Justice Department that enabled the newest and most intriguing figure in the Russia-Trump investigation to enter the country without a visa.

Wait? What? The Obama administration let that Russian lawyer into the US right before she meet with Trump? The same administration that had illegal FISA warrants on Trump and was spying on that very meeting? The same Obama administration that aimed "informants" (informants, not spies, damnit! They were "informing", not spying dammit!!!!) at that very same campaign months before? And then used those meetings to set up an FBI "Preliminary Investigation"?

Wile. E. Coyote would be more subtle in framing the Road Runner, this is such an obvious setup. And it blew up on Obama just like it does in cartoons, too. But then again, Hillary! was going to win and this was all going to be swept under the rug....

Do you know what a boomerang is? You just whacked yourself right in your puny gonads with the one you tried to toss. Hopefully it castrated you and removed you from the gene pool.

Besides, if merely meeting with Russians is treason, what about the Secretary of State getting paid to sign off on Russians buying US uranium production?

So, did we forget that a ton of people, including a LOT of Democrats, opposed this deal from the beginning? In case you've forgotten, here's a refresher.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY):

Admittedly, no one can tell with certainty which way Iran will go. It is true that Iran has a large number of people who want their government to decrease its isolation from the world and focus on economic advancement at home. But it is also true that this desire has been evident in Iran for thirty-five years, yet the Iranian leaders have held a tight and undiminished grip on Iran, successfully maintaining their brutal, theocratic dictatorship with little threat. Who’s to say this dictatorship will not prevail for another ten, twenty, or thirty years?

To me, the very real risk that Iran will not moderate and will, instead, use the agreement to pursue its nefarious goals is too great.

Therefore, I will vote to disapprove the agreement, not because I believe war is a viable or desirable option, nor to challenge the path of diplomacy. It is because I believe Iran will not change, and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions while ultimately retaining its nuclear and non-nuclear power. Better to keep U.S. sanctions in place, strengthen them, enforce secondary sanctions on other nations, and pursue the hard-trodden path of diplomacy once more, difficult as it may be.

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) (via the Hill):

"The deal ultimately legitimizes Iran as a threshold nuclear state," Menendez, who stepped down as the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee earlier this year amid corruption charges, said on MSNBCs "The Rundown." "The deal doesnt end Irans nuclear program, it preserves it."

The New Jersey senator, a long-time critic of the negotiations, refuted President Obamas claim that the deal allows for 24/7 access to inspect any site believed to be violating the deal.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) (via Charleston Gazette-Mail):

Sen. Joe Manchin will vote to oppose the nuclear agreement with Iran, joining every other member of West Virginia’s congressional delegation in opposition.

Manchin announced his decision one week after Democrats secured the votes necessary to make sure the deal goes into effect, downplaying, somewhat, the significance of his announcement.

The deal, which gives Iran relief from international economic sanctions in return for limits on and inspections of the country’s nuclear program, is all but sure to be put into place, despite the objections of West Virginia’s representatives.

Now-former Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), and Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) all opposed the deal as well. Yet, not enough were able to cross the aisle with Republicans to override a veto threat by Obama over the resolution to reject the agreement. From the September 10, 2015 edition of The New York Times:

Senate Democrats delivered a major victory to President Obama when they blocked a Republican resolution to reject a six-nation nuclear accord with Iran on Thursday, ensuring the landmark deal will take effect without a veto showdown between Congress and the White House.

A procedural vote fell two short of the 60 needed to break a Democratic filibuster. It culminated hours of debate in

Lets talk about how the DNC hack was an inside job. Hmm, I wonder if anyone remembers that part where file metadata showed the mail dump was copied from the server to a USB drive.

No? Don't remember who Seth Rich is?

Ok, lets circle jerk to the left's favorite conspiracy theory instead.

For those not up to speed on the latest conspiracy theories, it's been alleged that the DNC hack was an inside job. One of the "facts" supporting this theory is that the files were being transferred at 22.7 MB/s (based on file timestamps) faster than what could reasonably be expected over a standard internet connection at the time. However, it completely ignores the possibilities that there was fast internet available at the time, the ability to download multiple files to multiple computers (i.e. like a botnet), and the possibility that the files were downloaded to one computer, copied to a USB, then copied to another computer for upload. In other words, this "fact" doesn't prove anything.

In fact, since the release of this theory, a number of the original "authors" (which include former NSA experts) have since backtracked...

Violations of the Hatch Act were common during the last 8 years, but none of the current ButtHurts got very exercised about it.

This is tribalism in action. Members of the tribe are not held accountable for doing things that those outside the tribe would be held accountable for. Most people do it. The Democrats were mostly fine with Obama essentially continuing Bush's foreign policy, even though they had railed against the policy when Bush was in charge. Likewise, evangelical Christians, the supposed "values voters", chucked it all out the window to vote for a serial adulterer who bragged about assaulting women. We can imagine the Republican reaction if Obama's personal attorney had paid off a porn star to cover up an extra-marital affair during an election campaign. Yet, we hear little from them now.

Rank hypocrisy is a major feature of how the world currently works. Go looking for it anywhere, and you're likely to find it.

Violations of the Hatch Act were common during the last 8 years, but none of the current ButtHurts got very exercised about it.

The bill will likely not pass, but it will get the opponents on record as voting against it, which can be used against them in the November mid-terms. 80% of voters support NN, so this should be a winning issue for the Democrats in an election where many Republicans incumbents are already struggling.

Most of them disagreed with it and voted against it. Of course, if Obama had been a republican, a lot of them would have switched.

North Korea has for years offered to draw back their weapons program if the United States would do such things as stop practice invasions or threatening first strikes against them.

There's an unhinged warmongering country that desperately needs to be reigned in and stripped of its weapons here - and over there is North Korea. American Exceptionalists who find fault with that statement, feel free to compare the number of countries that North Korea has attacked since the 1950's with the number America has bombed just since the year 2000.

Insert Luke picture here.

we've acknowledged him as the legitimate ruler of North Korea. That's what this was about.

No. This is about the fact that Americans killed three million Koreans in an illegal war, flattening every city in the north. Americans may have let that one slip down the memory hole but they haven't - along with the dozens of democracies the CIA has overthrown since the 50's. There's also the annual practice invasions the U.S. has been running every year since the Clinton Administration. Which means every year NK has to mobilize a million people in case this time it's for real. During planting season - and then you use the resulting food shortages to complain about those craaaazy North Koreans some more.

This is about North Korea wanting to get off the Regime Change list, and it's nuclear weapons are Regime Change Insurance. Nothing more, nothing less. North Korea has tried negotiating with each new administration but are blown off teach time.

He still needs the nukes, and he won't give them up.

As long as he can blast Seoul into rubble (and he can) I just don't see him needing them. He's got plenty of deterrent right there.

Come again? A top Republican outright said attacking North Korea would be totally worth it and those hundreds of thousands of South Koreans (at least) would just be collateral damage. Democrats DGAF about civilian casualties, either - Obama was happy to send drones after children and the Clinton Administration let half a million Iraqi kids die from sanctions.

And then there's John Bolton, who's such a warmonger 'he makes Dick Cheney look like Noam Chomsky'. And Trump just named him his top advisor on warmongering. So if you were in North Korea facing that kind of history, and these kinds of war criminals, would you be so carefree in giving up your deterrence?

Who among James Comey, Loretta Lynch, and Barack Obama had to be aware of this?

The FBI ethics office. That's right, McCabe voluntarily went to the FBI ethics office and got a ruling on how he should proceed.

Of course if you are a trumpanzee conspiracy fantasist that's just proof the entire FBI, packed to the gills with republicans, was in the bag for killary because conspiracy fantasies are unfalsifiable.

Well apparently he does, because HE'S the one asking for it in science the EPA uses.

Ah, its super ken doll raring to go with his pudenda-smooth lies and misdirection! Good to see you buddy!

His opponents (such as yourself) are demanding the EPA use "secret science"

Tell you what, lets hold your analysis to the same level of transparency as Pruitt demands of "science" - post your name and address here so we can make sure you aren't one of pruitt's secret lobbyists buddies that gave him $100K via a shell company. After all, if anonymous medical patients aren't good enough for EPA policy, anonymous policy advocates shouldn't be good enough either, right?

It's not necessarily shenanigan's even then,

Oh puhlease. Are there any mental gymnastics that you won't perform to excuse this?

If there is one person who should not be given the benefit of the doubt, its pruitt.

Lobbyists have their lips firmly plant around Pruitt's dick. He bought a house from one for $100K below market price and the client company that he hired the lobbyist made up the difference. And then he installed the lobbyist into a high-ranking position in the EPA...

You do realize that the Republicans sent a recommendation for prosecution [house.gov] to the AG for Hillary Clinton,
James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Loretta Lynch, right?

And the Justice Department under Jeff Sessions put it right in the circular file where it belongs. There will be no charges.

And also note that Rep. Dana Rohrabacher claims to have physical proof [breitbart.com] that the Russians did not hack the DNC.

You mean the Dana Rohrabacher who the Kremlin has considered an intelligence source for the past two decades and so important that they gave him a code name? THAT Dana Rohrabacher?

This is why monopolies used to be broken up - they could price like this. In addition, in this case, it's a life and death product. "How much is your life worth to you? That's how much it costs." Shkreli was was honest and transparent about the reprehensible actions he was taking. The people you need to worry about are the ones who are smiling and empathizing as they knife you. They don't slip out of character either. And they're still leading the industry.

Additionally, the government prohibited itself from negotiating with drug companies for prices for Medicare Part D. Politicians created the "safe space" that those with suitable mentalities could then operate in (and funnel some of the proceeds back to DC).

It always blows my mind when I see users who constantly post pro-Trump free market posts on slashdot calling for the death and hanging of someone or some organization who is doing just that!

Except last year the con artist said he'd lower drug prices. Then he picked a guy who is a former pharmaceutical executive who raised drug prices.

Even in February's State of the Union address he said he'd lower drug prices.

What has he done so far? Reduce regulations on oil and gas drillers, put a guy in charge of the EPA who is vowed and determined to let polluters off the hook, and started a trade war with China which is already costing Midwest farmers.

after all, to Obama any agency that was not funneling money directly to friends was rather a waste.

What utter nonsense and outright projection of Trump's faults onto other people. Last I checked, Obama's administration wasn't the one that functionally required the Secret Service to pay money to the club he owned http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/355244-secret-service-paid-tens-of-thousands-to-trumps-mar-a-lago-club. Obama didn't pay close attention to NASA but the idea that he was trying to funnel money to friends is insane, especially when we currently have a President who isn't even funelling money to friends, he's funneling it to himself.

Hillary's campaign employed DC crooks too.

The Moonie Times, Zero Hedge, World Nut Daily, Daily Caller, The Blaze, etc, etc, the usual suspects.

What is the basis for this and why are no serious publications reporting on this lawsuit? Because Ty Clevenger's lawsuit has no basis and zero chance of succeeding.

The whole thing is based on an article claiming that 4 out of 7 of Comey's memos had confidential information, and therefore he must have forwarded at least one classified memo to his law-school friend.

But the article doesn't actually cover when the information was deemed classified, it could very well have been classified after the fact in an effort to tar Comey. It also doesn't give any indication whether Comey would have reasonably thought the information to be classified, in fact he explicitly testified that he prepared the memos to be unclassified.

Not to mention the original reporter and only source I found has a history of inaccurate reporting, so we could be missing some crucial context.

He shared his memos with a Columbia University friend, with the intention that they would then be leaked to the press. However, these memos are still considered classified information and government property. He would likely be prosecuted under the Espionage Act.

Now that Duterte is in office there, I'm hoping that next time the Luddites invade the test fields, he will machine-gun them rihgt there and let their bodies fertilize the plants.

The Vox isn't a credible source. Come back when you have a reliable source.

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.

Facts offend you, comrade? The vast majority of Facebook political donations (corporate and individual) went to the Democrats. Democrats are fascists - they want to control everything, thus they need the long tentacles of Facebook to make it all work for them, scrape that data and give it over to Big Brother!

The U.S. has been in Iraq and Afghanistan for over 15 years, and other countries almost as long. How many U.S. generals has Al Queda/ISIS/Taliban been able to magically target with mortars.

You either don't understand the word "literal" or you read waaaaay too much Russian propaganda.

You you were saying?

I overstated a bit, but the existence of neo-Nazi movements in Ukraine doesn't mean they're in power, I'd say Russia has a far better claim to being a state where the fascists are in power. Also recall the history, the Soviets did some horrific things to Ukraine, and the Nazis were enemies of the Soviets. A lot of those Ukrainian neo-Nazis are likely there for the anti-Russian aspect more than the racism aspect.

This is hilarious. Russia literally invades and annexes part of another country and a fig leaf of a referendum is all you need to give them the thumbs up.

Insert Luke picture here because everything you just said is false. Russia had an existing base in Crimea - if moving troops through there is an invasion then the United States invades 30 or so locations in Germany alone every year. And repeating myself since you skipped it the first time:

How is is totally legit for the U.S. to overthrow the elected government of Ukraine, yet totally illegitimate for Russia to accept Crimea's vote to be annexed.

Yeah... you're not even taking this seriously.

Isn't "pee-lover" Trump already being investigated?

1) Petty partisan theater. Same reason Clinton and Obama were investigated for blow jobs and Benghazi, and not starting wars in Yugoslavia and Libya without Congressional authorization. Going after stupid shit like Stormy Daniels, not real shit like all the businesses Trump started in Saudi Arabia while running for president and then giving them a huge weapons deal.

2) Salve for butthurt Democrats who nominated the worst candidate in history. Also to keep their base compliant and distracted, so the corrupt assholes responsible for Trump in the first place can stay in control of the party.

3) Psyop to get the public on the side of confronting Russia. Same as the propaganda about Saddam planning 911 and having WMD's. Dick Cheney must be kicking himself these days, though. He went through all the trouble of having Colin Powell present fake evidence to the U.N., but who knew he could go make assertions to the press without any evidence whatsoever, and people would just eat that shit up with a spoon?

Hilary was already investigated. For years, and nothing.

Because her name was Hillary Clinton, and the aforementioned bipartisan immunity for crimes committed by high level officials.. If her name was Hillary Smith, an unconnected bureaucrat who mishandled classified information and then committed obstruction of justice on top by destroying evidence, she'd be serving an effective life sentence. That Hillbots continued to excuse her unsecured, unauthorized email server after a sailor was sent to prison for taking half a dozen unauthorized selfies on an unsecured phone shows the capacity for people to be partisan hacks. Really, really, really stupid partisan hacks.

Because Google has a hand in virtually all aspects of the web.

Anytime you send mail, it's very likely one of your recipients is using Google Mail, including companies, or your mail travels through their exchange. Otherwise, one of their dns resolvers might have a hand in your traffic.
And if not, then either your browser (Chrome) or your phone (Android) will keep phoning home and reporting personal data, location, and pics to Google.

And even if that doesn't get you, then generally browsing any site on the web with their countless trackers (captcha, gstatic, fonts, cdn, analytics, doubleclick, gtm, ad manager, google plus tracker, maps, etc) will certainly get you or will break websites.

I believe Google has already been using browser fingerprinting for some time now, and you can see the result of this with their latest captcha, which no longer needs any input except your typing and mouse movements on a webpage.

And the fact that Google and NSA have a nice little pact means they obviously have a past amount of personal data on individuals which even the NSA can't gather!

So you're saying that Trump gave ISIS the location of Russian generals? That's a novel conspiracy theory.

The U.S. has been in Iraq and Afghanistan for over 15 years, and other countries almost as long. How many U.S. generals has Al Queda/ISIS/Taliban been able to magically target with mortars.

The call about dropping the sanctions was on Dec 29th.

Distinction without a difference. Did you read your own link or even it's title?

• Presumably, a delay would have enabled a new Trump administration to veto the Security Council's condemnation of Israel. Flynn made the call to the Russian ambassador and stated the administration's case. On Dec. 23 (after a one-day postponement of the vote), the Russian ambassador called Flynn back and basically said nice try, but nyet, Russia wouldn't be succumbing to the wishes of Team Trump. The resolution passed later that day, with Russia voting in favor of it, and with the Obama administration declining to veto the resolution and abstaining from the vote.

Flynn was in contact with the Russians about a UN vote in exchange for sanctions. That he talked to them a week later does....what to change that fact?

Sanctions that are still complete bullshit. If the USSR had overthrown the government of Canada and immediately started brining the junta into the Warsaw Pact, it's not as though the U.S. would sit around with its thumb up its ass. And if the USSR then slapped America with sanctions for any response would be the cherry on top your BS sundae.

James Comey lied about leaks:

McCabe just made life tough for Comey and the special counsel

ENT
“I chose to share with a reporter through my public affairs officer and a legal counselor,” McCabe stated. “As deputy director, I was one of only a few people who had the authority to do that. It was not a secret, it took place over several days, and others, including the director, were aware of the interaction with the reporter.”

If the “interaction” means leaking the information, then McCabe’s statement would seem to directly contradict statements Comey made in a May 2017 congressional hearing. Asked if he had “ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation” or whether he had “ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation,” Comey replied “never” and “no.”

The Justice Department’s inspector general clearly saw this “interaction” as problematic in seeking answers from McCabe. If the inspector general considered this to be a leak to the media, any approval by Comey would be highly significant. Comey already faces serious questions over his use of a Columbia University Law School professor to leak information to the media following his own termination as director.

In leaving the FBI last year, Comey improperly removed memos about the Russian investigation that he wrote concerning meetings with Trump. Since these memos discussed an ongoing FBI investigation and were written on an FBI computer, the bureau reportedly confirmed they were viewed as official documents subject to review and approval prior to any removal or disclosure.
