The polls were NOT off if you looked at socioeconomic factors; Nate Silver is no friend of the GOP, and he's completely eviscerated the concept that the results in WI were wrong. Why WI, MI and PA and not NH, NV, and CO which were all much closer AND ended up going for Hillary? Even those "experts" who brought up the concept completely admit there is ZERO evidence pointing to any issues, it's just a "feeling" they have...

This is Stein and the Green Party trying to cash out, bump up their own coffers before the next round of elections, and maybe get a Bernie-esque cottage out of it.

Oh, and voter suppression efforts? Care to list those? I know we have documented proof of excessive voter fraud on the left, typically via absentee ballots (for example, 83 ballots showing up in a Los Angeles community that went over 85% for Hillary). So we have proof - actual convictions - of voter fraud, but voter intimidation? Any proof of that? Why not voter ID? Canada and Mexico both require it - why can't the US?

When did the NSA confirm that thing? Give us the link to the NSA source please.

It was reported here last week. Here's a clip of the NSA director all but naming Russia.

No. That's a lie. He never said that.

"The group, which includes voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, believes they’ve found persuasive evidence that results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked"

https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/801229361386921984

"And Michigan has paper ballots everywhere, so not even sure what claim is being made there"

What more do you need?

...by various analysts, including the un-conservative Nate Silver: "Some *very* quick analysis which suggests the claim here of rigged results in Wisconsin is probably BS: Run a regression on Wisc. counties with >=50K people, and you find that Clinton improved more in counties with only paper ballots. HOWEVER: the effect COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS once you control for race and education levels, the key factors in predicting vote shifts this year. Maybe a more complicated analysis would reveal something, but [it’s] usually bad news when a finding can’t survive a basic sanity check like this. Nothing in Pennsylvania, either, whether or not you control for demographics. And Michigan has paper ballots everywhere, so not even sure what claim is being made there."" https://twitter.com/NateSilver...

Actually, you've stated it exactly wrong: the counties with the differences were not "demographically similar." When you control for demographics, the difference in voting patterns disappears. See also https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/... and https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/....

Trump downplayed that Chinese hoax thing long ago and claimed he was joking.

He repeated it several times. And I dare you to find the "joke" in this tweet from Donald:

https://twitter.com/realdonald...

In fact, he stated that he thought climate change was a "hoax" or "bullshit" no fewer than five times, and none of them seem to have any "joking" in them.

http://www.snopes.com/donald-t...

Or maybe you think that linking to quotes from Donald Trump is "fake news" and it's just the MSM trying to make him look stupid by linking to his actual words.

He's long said that he wants to address climate change without crippling the economy to do so.

Really? Let's see what he said in his own words...

I consider gravity to be a fact. It's verifiable. I have no problem with fact checking someone who claims that gravity isn't real, and concluding that they are wrong.

I also have no problem with fact checking what politicians are on record as having said. For example, Trump said climate change was invented by the Chinese. These are not things that are open to interpretation or political bias, they are simple facts that can be verified by multiple people and the reader and held to be as true as the theory of gravity is.

Fake news? Which self-brainwashing news outlets have you been listening to? The ones that tell you not to listen to the other ones? LOL. Let that sink in for a moment.

You know that actor that got up and lectured Pence? He's a misogynist. Right there in his own words: calling women "ho's". He has also made very rapey comments about taking advantage of drunk women. Where have you been getting your news? If your news hasn't been mentioning these very pertinent FACTS, then you might be listening to fake news. And if your fake news has been telling you to listen to them exclusively and not listen to alternatives, then you've really got a problem with self-brainwashing.

Blah blah. There's a clear distinction between equality of opportunity versus equality of outcome.

Which has nothing to do with your conceptualization of either. You really don't have to think of them as having poles.

It's not a presumption, it's a reflection of reality. The arrogantly presumptuous are the ones who want to deny reality and force-fit the world into their presumed idea of what should be.

Yes, yes, you'll proclaim you're the one with the greater connection to reality, which doesn't make you seem at all arrogant, so you can completely avoid thinking about the presumptions you're continually making.

This is very important for you. Very much so.

You presume the impression is false. Women can make up their own mind. Gender studies reveal that differences between interests in the sexes are innate that go beyond any kind of social construct.

You presume that there are no false impressions, and that people are not influenced by outside effects. Numerous studies reveal the existence of a multitude of factors that influence life choices, even irrespective of gender.

It has a bad name because of the actions and words of feminists.

Nope, it has a bad name because it's important for its opponents that it has a bad name. It's not new. It's standard practice.

They beat up Western society over a mythical rape culture while condemning those who speak out against importing Muslims from societies with actual rape culture problems.

Ah, now you're still confused about that. Really, no matter how many times you rant about it as if it were some intent to foster those attitudes, the whole point is to get the refugees into a position where they can be influenced for the better. Has no one ever been able to set you straight, or will you keep on screaming about it in obtuse hysteria for a few more years?

They cry for safe spaces and preferential treatment.

I just don't know if it's a joke.

I really don't.

I actually do think he's that unable to handle criticism. It reminds me of the past.

They've created a culture where a man can be tried for sexually assaulting a woman while video evidence shows what was claimed was clearly impossible.

Yes, yes, and we have a world where a father complains that his son was punished excessively for 20 minutes of action, where a man got a suspended sentence for raping his 12-year old daughter, well, we could trade dueling stories for a long while.

They've created a culture where the female star of The Big Bang Theory felt fine figuratively giving her fans the finger when they complained after she cut her hair, but fell over herself backpedaling after the media made a big ruckus when she said didn't identify as a feminist, because, you know, she didn't really face inequality, and that, *gasp*, she likes cooking for her husband.

I know, how terrible. Thank god the feministas set her straight.

A celebrity comment's is considered meaningful? What a world! What is it shaped like?

Has Twitter banned any of accounts calling for an assassination of the President-elect? For killing all White people? Obviously not.

You didn't actually read any of those links, did you? If you had, you'd discover that that most of the recent chatter around the #AssassinateTrump hashtag, for example, is comments like this:

1. Hello @gov @twitter @Support, why are you allowing #AssassinateTrump to trend? Why are you not banning people who use it as a threat?

If you look backwards in time, you'll see that the earlier tweets including the same hashtag seem to have a more humorous than hurtful intent:

1. If @realDonaldTrump becomes president due to you retards im moving to canada! #sixhereicome #assassinatetrump

Finally, the Twitter user you've linked to, @maymaymx, isn't exactly a bleeding-heart liberal either, as evidenced by the actual contents of his tweets, like this one:

1. Make Liberals Irelevant Again

...or...

1. White liberals on Election Night: THIS IS THE END OF THE WOOORRRLLLDD!!! White liberals two days later: Man the anarchists are overreacting.

Perhaps it might be a good time to review your own biases before you start calling-out the folks at Twitter on theirs.

If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily

"If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily" -- tweeted today by your friend, Donald J Trump.

...this ? https://twitter.com/search?q=r...

Have you actually read the rules?

https://support.twitter.com/ar...

"You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease. We also do not allow accounts whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others on the basis of these categories. "

Hate speech and racism are allowed, unless they threaten violence, which as you note is illegal.

Being "private company" is, obviously, not enough of a defense, as Facebook just found out the hard way, for example. Evidently, some violent hate-groups — such as BLM and the rest of the "anti-Trump" crowd — are more equal than others.

Has Twitter banned any of accounts calling for an assassination of the President-elect? For killing all White people? Obviously not.

But, hey, it is a private company... Maybe. A good illustration on why "hate speech" must remain legal — because any enforcer will be just as biased as Twitter is proving themselves to be.

"Love the fact that small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!" - @realDonaldTrump

For a man that "acts on a whim" or that "has no moral compass" this sure seems like an odd to tweet. Or maybe you could be wrong and the medias portrayal of the Fifth Reich rising were grossly overstated and hyperbolic?

I forget, was that a day after he tweeted the exact opposite sentiments? Oh, right, it was.

Is it saying things they disagree with?

That's exactly what it is. You'll find quite a few of the 3rd wave feminists and TERFs using this as a means to shutdown discussion, or launch harassment against people, even going as far as trying to get them criminally charged. Also facts are hate speech, and if they happen to be threatening you? That's not hate speech. Also if you quote their statements or rhetoric, that's hate speech too. This shouldn't be a surprise though, Twitter decided to create the Orwell sounding "Trust and Safety Council" which is chalk full of left-wing groups, some of them are so radical that they'd be right at home in european antifa movements. Some of the groups have also been directly engaged in harassment, doxing and so on too.

So just remember, if you're of the right political ideology. It's fine, but if you're not..they're coming for you.

The wikileaks twitter feed has this item:

Remember how you let Obama "legalize":

1. * Assassinating anyone
2. * Spying on everyone
3. * Prosecuting publishers+sources

4. It's all Trump's in 69 days

This gives me a lot of hope for our future.

Something we really didn't have under Obama (despite it being his tagline).

Ah, your view of the past is such a fantasy, I wonder what delusions of the future lurk in your mask. But in your world, I suppose we've always been at war with EastAsia, and the Chocolate Ration has been increased to 25 grams a week.

I'm actually not sure what will be more likely, Trump giving you your promises, Trump reneging on the promises and frustrating you in your impotent rage at the callous betrayal, or Trump reneging, but you completely buying his excuses, and still leaving you to blame all the dreaded enemies you do now.

Really, anyone? Everyone? At least cut the hyperbole down, surely you can manage that much. It could even be an inspiration to others.

I lost any remaining respect for WikiLeaks when they posted this utterly biased, indefensible bullshit.

Tweet from Ms. Kelly saying "Also for the record, I believe the reason I got sick the day of the first debate was I contracted a stomach virus, just as Rand Paul did."

You were not only told the truth, looked up the second article that I did claiming the NYT was lying, you didn't bother even looking for the referenced tweet. You not only knew it was a lie, had evidence it was a lie, posted a link that it was a lie, but then repeated the lie as the truth while calling me a liar while bringing up someone else I've never heard of claiming I defend him.

How idiotic do you have to be to think ANYONE would believe you?

I could never have voted for Hillary, if not for any other reason than because of her long standing opposition to gay marriage and her subsequent lies about it

Rich. . . so you voted for the ticket with MIKE PENCE!? and Donald Trump, who has been a consistent opponent of marriage equality. Face it, you were also duped. This IS Brexit all over. . . where AFTER the election voters are like, "what is the EU?".

It will be interesting to see how long people like you will defend him. Trump will eventually unite America. . . with his universal disappointment. . .

You may have the wrong idea about Assange. He's either in the Kremlin's pocket or has his own (non-truth-related) agenda. https://twitter.com/wikileaks/...

#PanamaPapers Putin attack was produced by OCCRP which targets Russia & former USSR and was funded by USAID & Soros.

Without any evidence, the only group he defends during the Panama Papers scandal was Russia.

Russia needs to have sanctions against it. They have literally been invading their neighbors and taking their land. Should there not be consequences for that?

Half of the nation is not made up of brainless moronic racist zombies. There are plenty of rational reasons to vote for Trump in the general election. I don't think you understand what I am saying. Yes, Trump is an unknown politician that isn't a good option but in comparison to Clinton an unknown is better than a known bad corrupt politician. My wife, big on science, is sad that climate change policy will take a back seat but she thought that there are other issues more important . Encouraging the corrupt behavior we saw in the DNC, the media, and the Clinton campaign is disgraceful. Telling politicians that it is ok to lie, cheat, and conspire is not good for our Republic even if that means short term pain.

Yes, I have looked at his 'rap sheet'. My point is that Clinton, a lifetime politician, has some professional concerns that are more troublesome to me than Trump 'grabbing by the pussy' or Trump University. If you think the media 'love' trump I don't know what to tell you because you are delusional and ill-informed. The Clinton campaign and DNC picked Trump as their pied piper and it back fired. That is the kind of professional misconduct from our government I cannot stand for and I will not promote that behavior with a vote. The DNC fucked themselves and they deserve it. The media was conspiring with the DNC and the Clinton campaign. That is a disgrace and is a detriment to our Republic. A buffoon is better than a crook that the media love.

The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy

We’re proud to offer CBC podcasts free on most 3rd-party apps/services. But it's not OK to sell ads on our content w/o permission.

Beware the fact-checkers. In 2012 Politifact said the assertion that Obamacare premiums will rise was "Mostly False". This is demonstrably wrong.

Yes and no.

Fact Check: Donald Trump: "The sky is blue"
PANTS ON FIRE: Sky is black during the night and red/orange during the evenings! Sky is grey when overcast.

Fact Check: Hillary Clinton: "The sky is never blue"
Mostly True: Sky never appears blue for many colorblind people.

For example, when the MSM claimed that Donald Trump was a liar for saying that Hillary acid-washed her harddrives, because she "didn't acid-wash them, she used BleachBit!", or when Ted Cruz said "They're letting boys into the girl's showers" and the MSM fact-checked it saying that "boys that want to be girls aren't boys!" and "NOT ALL SCHOOLS FORCE THEM TO SHOWER!!!!" Oh -- big relief.

When one party (Democrats) have a national platform of rewriting definitions to fit popular lies, then the term "fact" loses all meaning.

Twitter allows uploads up to 512 MB and 140 seconds, which is an improvement over Vine. But it still has one problem: it allows only MPEG-4 codecs, which are patented in the home country of Twitter and Slashdot.
