Re:A Russian group didn't hack the DNC
That analysis has been questioned by several. In fact the nation that did a story on it is now reviewing their own story for accuracy.

Re:A sad defense of treason...
No, the courts and our history have defined it that way. In order to be treason, it must be an enemy. In order to be an enemy, it must be official - namely, we must be in a war with them. We are not at war with Russia. We sure as hell aren't in a declared war with Russia. We surely aren't in an open war with Russia.
How about a link from a site you're likely to trust?
https://www.washingtonpost.com...
I'm REALLY trying to be polite but you're not helping. No, no you are not. I'm half convinced you're trolling, at this point.
Once more, Russia isn't our enemy, officially speaking. No, sanctions are not an act of war.
One slight update: A couple of people were found guilty post WWII. They were pardoned and released. My mistake.

Re:How about telling it like it is?
With leadership from people like you, hopefully one day the US can be just as good as India.
Don't worry though, that child will go up for adoption, which always works out for the kids. At least the kid won't be alone, there's 30 million orphans to keep her company. We're almost there with India though, just like if that kid was in the US she won't have access to health care, because like you point out it's her responsibility to buy medical insurance for herself, which totally makes sense for an orphan, and she'll get all of the public education she needs, just like in the US. Until she's 14. Then she's on her own. But let's rejoice that another of the 1.3 billion lives in India has started, I'm sure it will be a great one. This is a fantastic victory for conservatives everywhere.
We can only hope that the enlightened thinking of India makes its way to the US soon. Unlike shitty Luxembourg, with its stupid #1 health care system that no one can learn from, or dumbass Finland, with its free education at every level. Their #1 education ranking is a sham and there's absolutely nothing we can learn by studying them. "Health care and job training is the responsibility of the individual", the debate starts and ends there. This is an incredibly simple world, and we need incredibly simple rules like that to live by.
In fact, we should go even farther. This country is absolutely full of leeches and parasites, and you know who I'm talking about. Teachers. They get paid extravagant salaries, which is the only reason we can justify making them pay for all of their own classroom materials, but we can fix that problem. Let's kill the public education system altogether, let's abolish public schools completely and really make individuals pay their own way. That's exactly how we end up with a well-educated work force that will allow our country to continue our economic march to victory. We can just get rid of the entire department of education, imagine how much better off the country will be if we keep all of that money and give it back to the rich in tax cuts! The free market will fix this problem nicely, only the most profitable schools will survive, they can stuff as many kids in one classroom to maximize revenue, since that's the really important thing to us Americans, and they can hire whoever is willing to work for the lowest pay and benefits, because that's how you attract real talent. Yes, if we force the next generation to pay for their own education the entire way, and health care for that matter, then by the time I'm old and retired this country will have an extremely solid foundation for the future.

Re:Opportunistic

What IS a fact is blacks kill more blacks than any police force.

vs
https://www.washingtonpost.com...
And bear in mind the police number isn't only a list of deaths, regardless of justification. So the number is REALLY small. (Sorry the dates don't jive, best I could do - but the point is there)Which is a worse issue?
What IS a fact is that blacks have the highest proportion of children born out of wed lock. (a whooping 75%)

Re:inspire magazine telling how to derail trains i
This is, however, a clear warning of how unpopular views are readily suppressed. It's not clear to me what the best answer is.
There is no clear answer. But as a metric, We can compare The activities of the White Supremacists and Neo Nazis to other groups.
Bastille day celebration with a terrorist driving a truck through it. 84 people killed. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/0...
Man drives into crow of people in Israel, killing one http://www.timesofisrael.com/d...
Man tries to drive a car through a crowd in Belgium https://themuslimissue.wordpre...
How ramming cars into crowds became a major terror tactic (London attack) https://www.washingtonpost.com...
Another attack in Stockholm https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...
Attack in Heidelberg http://www.nbcnews.com/news/wo... Isreal again. http://www.westernjournalism.c...
London again: http://www.dw.com/en/terrorist...
And that is just some of them.
So what we have here is a tactic used by terrorists. Pick a crowd, and play Bowling for Humans. Looks like the Bastille Day guy has the highest score so far. This is pretty obviously Terrorism, and the only people who support it is likewise terrorists and their supporters.
So we have a group of people who support supremacy of one race over another - That would be the Klan. They have a history of violence and murder.
We have Neo-Nazis. Another group of people that support the National Socialist movement and all that entails. These two groups dovetail rather nicely together.
Then we have a member of the second group who runs his car through a crowd of people in Virginia.
It all fits. I don't negotiate with terrorists, nor do I wish to appease them. Appeasement doesn't work with Nazis, if we recall our history. And Blut und Boden puts the Neo's directly into Nazi ideology.
Which is why I put support for these people into the support of terrorism, support that it's practicioners desire to become mainstream. And if that happens, what are the odds that they extend anything remotely resembling free speech to others. Historically it has been exactly opposite.
Perhaps my detractors will mod this up to 5 to show their support for free speech that offends them.

Taxation IS theft. PERIOD. It is fantastical thinking has absolutely no relation to how a advanced society could ever function.
Your entire concept of money is based in a flawed premise -- there is never enough -- so we are going to create artificial scarcity to give it some "perceived" value -- and then take it from you without your permission.
As one alien said : "You mean you have to PAY to live on the planet you were born on???"

Re:Black Lives Matter
Basic statistics still eludes you?
Blacks are 12.5% of the population. (To make things simple for you, that makes whites and others 87.5%).
If everything were equal, we'd expect 12.5% of police shootings to be blacks.
But it's not. According to one source[1], it's 24%. From a random sample of police shootings, for every one black shot we'd expect seven whites to be shot. That'd be "normal." In reality, for every one black shot by police, there are only three whites shot. That kind of discrepancy defies all reason.
But hey, don't let a little math stand in the way of preserving your bias, okay? Ignorance is bliss. Your betters, people like Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway will tell you what to think. It's okay.
Your local school system has an adult ed class in statistics for you. Or it would if Twitler and his academically challenged minion DeVos weren't working to defund our education system.

Re:Still trying to polish that turd ?
-- “The white nationalists in Charlottesville did not hide their intentions. They were there to revel in the Trump presidency, which explicitly told them it was time to ‘take their country back,’” Rubin notes. “Former KKK grand wizard David Duke left no confusion as to his followers’ admiration for the president: ‘This represents a turning point for the people of this country. We are determined to take our country back. We’re going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in, that’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back, and that’s what we’ve got to do.’”
-- Meanwhile, alt-right leader Richard Spencer dismissed Trump’s statement as “nonsense,” telling reporters at a news conference yesterday that "[only] a dumb person would take those lines seriously.” Spencer also said he did not consider the president’s words to be a condemnation of the white nationalist movement. “I don't think he condemned it, no,” said Spencer, whose group advocates for a form of American apartheid, per Business Insider. “Did he say 'white nationalist?' 'Racist' means an irrational hatred of people. I don't think he meant any of us.” Asked whether he considers Trump an ally, Spencer replied that while he didn't think of Trump as “alt-right,” he considers the president to be “the first true authentic nationalist in my lifetime.”
-- Compare Trump’s muted reaction to Charlottesville with his animated response last December to a similar incident in Columbus, another college town where an extremist plowed a car into a crowd of people. Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an Ohio State University student, drove a Honda sedan through a crowd outside a school building last November before emerging from the vehicle and slashing at people with a butcher knife. As president-elect, Trump flew to OSU to meet with survivors and praise the cop who shot the attacker. “This is a great honor for me today,” Trump told reporters during the visit. “We’re in a fantastic state that I love, Ohio.” One big difference: Artan was a Somali Muslim refugee. It's not even clear Trump has tried to call the mother of Charlottesville victim Heather Heyer.
-- In this context, Trump’s announcement that he is mulling a pardon for Joe Arpaio can be viewed as a strategic sop to mollify some of the most xenophobic elements of his nativist base. The president told Fox News in an interview published yesterday that he is “seriously considering” a full pardon to the former Arizona sheriff, who was convicted last month of criminal contempt for ignoring a federal judge’s order that he stop racially profiling Hispanics.
“I might do it right away, maybe early this week. I am seriously thinking about it,” the president told Gregg Jarrett. He called Arpaio a “great American patriot” who has “done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration”: “Is there anyone in local law enforcement who has done more to crack down on illegal immigration than Sheriff Joe? He doesn’t deserve to be treated this way.”

Selective outrage
They have rules
They do. But they are also the legislature (creating rules), judiciary (determining, whether a rule is broken), and executive (acting on such determination) at once. Whether their action is sincere, or simply seeking to avoid boycotts and/or DOSing, they are wrong.
I do hate Daily Stormer with passion — since 2014, when they dismissed all of Ukraine's figures as "Jews" — if GoDaddy was Ok with them before, there is no reason to kick them out now.
Certainly not with such haste... 24 hours to move a site? Ridiculous...
The massive outrage about this is curiously selective. The "alt-right" are blamed for the violence even though they held their gathering and were attacked by the counter-protesters, who've been viciously violent before. All of the reports about the car charging into a crowd mention "melees" and "skirmishes" already occurring prior to that in passing. Oh, that's because someone died? Well, there were politically-motivated attacks with a deadly weapon before — sheer luck, that asshole merely injured his victims.
Lastly, much as the Nazist symbols and racism annoy me, they clearly have no real following and thus pose little danger. Meanwhile, the symbols of Communists and other hate-groups (like Black Lives Matter) were also on display and those, despite being far deadlier, do not seem to outrage anyone...

Family Friendly Policies
Older works (and I'm one of them) do not need special treatment. The problem with the workplace is that it is NOT family friendly and our birth rates are suffering from it. France and Germany are already dealing with this problem by instituting family friendly policies. America, of course, thinks it knows better than to follow their lead. When everyone is busy slaving their asses off for the whims of the corporate lobbying of the likes of the Koch Brothers, everyone is too tired and exhausted to make babies. Couple this with average wages adjusted for inflation having taken a nose dive over the past 20 years.
Prioritize policies based on family _AND_ GDP (or in reality executive bonuses) and this problem and many others will be alleviated.

Re:Haven't these awards been taken over?
A person does not have to be right-wing to be opposed to leftist politics.
Nor to equate short-sighted shallow politics with either right or left.
But when Howard Dean adopts short-sighted shallow politics, it's pretty clear that the majority of the left has adopted them, too. Recall that Dean was the Democratic governor of Vermont from 1991 to 2003, a candidate for the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries, and Chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2005 to 2009. There are very few Democrats who are more prominent than Dean.
-
Re:I thought this was Slashdot.
It's well known the DNC cheated Sanders and that Hillary received one (1) debate question ahead of time (that she gave a poor answer to anyways).
The "adoption" talking points came from Trump Sr in an attempt to minimize the meeting. https://www.washingtonpost.com...
Not to mention that discussing adoption would be a discussion of Russian sanctions...
To be honest, I don't know the exact details. It's well established that the Russians hacked the DNC and dozens of state elections. It's also well established that they sought to help the Trump campaign win and the Trump campaign was complicit and willing to get them involved.
Any number of things could have been discussed in the meeting, but the meeting itself it really just the tip of the iceberg that PROVES the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. -
Re: Muslims are a danger to the world

It is easy to oppose the drones when you live in safe suburb of Karachi or Islamabad. It is much different if you live in Waziristan, where the Taliban forces girls out of school and boys into war. Most people there see the drones as a benefit.

Re:Gerrymandering
What about Senate seats?
Impacted by turnout reduction due to gerrymandering, and voter restrictions.
Governorships?
Add above, plus off-year elections for more manipulation.
State legislatures?
You mean the groups doing the gerrymandering in all but a handful of states?
Even if you leave out the fact that Democrat-controlled states gerrymander Congressional districts just as much as Republican-controlled ones (as you have conveniently done),
I get it, you want to believe it is true, despite the facts not supporting it. However, even the most strident defenders have to admit that Republicans have obviously done it in more states. But so what if it were true? That means nothing, it is still immoral and a betrayal of principles.
Why don't you just get past your partisan biases? All they're doing is causing you to lie.
that doesn't explain why the Ds have been getting their asses kicked over and over in all the races I mention above.
Your premise is also flawed. Check out the elections.

Abacus: Small Enough to Jail
Those guys never do time
There was only one bank which ended up getting prosecuted for the '08 mortgage crisis. A tiny Chinatown family-owned bank that discovered one of their loan officers taking bribes and making fraudulent mortgage applications. The managers of the bank promptly reported him to regulators -- for which the managers were indicted, with the fraudulent loan officer becoming the star witness for the prosecution against the bank.
http://www.npr.org/2017/05/18/...
"As it happens, Abacus didn't deal in subprime. The Chinatown-based bank also didn't package its mortgages into the sort of financial instruments that made The Big Short's machinations so arcane. In fact, the bank had one of the lowest default rates in the country."Some other articles on the prosecution of Abacus:

Re:Average Americans are just fed up with leftism.

11? Man, that's terrible. Out of over 3000, there are 11, with registration greater than the number of people.
Heavens no. In our highly mobile society, people like Jared Kushner, Tiffany Trump, and Steve Bannon, can't keep their voter registration up to date! The horrors! And it's not even a crime!
LA alone is at 144% of people register vs actual population but they haven't cleaned the lists.
What are you talking about? The county says they have 4.3 million registered voters, and the Census says the County's population is over 10 million.
That's not tracking with your claims. Where do you get your numbers from?
This alone doesn't mean there was voter fraud but increases the chances there actually is significant amount of voter fraud in CA, but CA doesn't want anyone to check.
And Trump's voter commission chair has a history of lying and evasion.
Not only that, states have a history of failing in voter purges. And yes, that is evidence of illegality. Criminal behavior to suppress the vote.

IF you receive a court order to turn over your E-mail, YOU don't get to pick and choose what is turned over. It ALL goes, regardless of if you think they are relevant or not. You and your lawyers do NOT get to sort them out and filter them in any way. She was legally required to turn over ALL the E-mails she had when the order was received, not a filtered subset. Had she destroyed them BEFORE she reasonably knew they where under a court order, she'd be in the clear from the court order's perspective.
OK, the first part was that she deleted emails in 2014 after turning over related emails to the State dept, well before the first subpoena in Mar 2015. Which was specifically limited to items related to Libya:
The subpoena, which was delivered to Clinton’s attorney in early March, requests all the documents sent to and from the private email Clinton used between Jan. 1, 2011, and Dec. 31, 2012, referring or related to the following subjects: Libya; weapons found traveling to or from Libya; the Benghazi attacks; and statements pertaining to the attacks.
So no, she didn't have to turn over her entire email set and she could and should have filtered them to meet the subpoena. Now, you can speculate all you want, but unless you have proof somewhere that she had copies of any relevant emails that may have turned up, unsurprisingly, in state dept email servers, then you're just blowing hot air.

Re:winning
You do know that Foxconn made a similar announcement in 2013 during the Obama Administration tregarding a plant in Pennsylvania.

So yeah I think that could have easily happened since it fucking did.
If you want to know how this will probably end:

Now admit you were wrong.
All well and good until Foxconn realizes they could increase their profits by manufacturing overseas. And...IT'S GONE!
