The amount of complaining on the internet hasn't changed.

I'll concede, that there was complaining and there still is — from another direction. But the quantitative estimate needs citations — what makes you think, the amount hasn't changed?

For example, over 8 years Obama racked up about a score of verified death-threats. It may be too early to tell for Trump, but if Bush is any indication, he'll have so many, Secret Service will stop investigating...

Indeed, I can not recall anyone beaten up, or anything set on fire or otherwise destroyed during an anti-Obama protest...

It's just moved venues.

It also stopped being racist — as I keep pointing out — without becoming sexist instead...

don't imagine that the Obama administration was free of public outrage.

It having existed does not mean, there was just as much of it.

So in other words, you'd rather just hand the EU over to Putin.

Point 1. Motive.
Your fear-mongering is so hyperbolic it's hard to take you seriously. The Russians, and Putin in particular, are pretty damn pragmatic. Russia has enough budget problems sustaining not-so-covert combat operations in Ukraine and very overt operations in Syria. Can the Russian government AFFORD to invade the EU? What would the cost-benefit analysis for that be? What is the end state? Russia's primary concern for the past decade has been US ABM sites in their near abroad. The ABMs themselves came after the US unilaterally withdrew from the ABM treaty. These concerns have fallen on deaf ears in Washington:
2016: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...
2008: https://sputniknews.com/russia...
2001: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12...

In the absence of US missiles destabilizing the balance of Mutually Assured Destruction, Russia's force structure was primarily aligned for counter-insurgency in the Caucasus, not conquest of Europe. http://turcopolier.typepad.com... And given that Russia has fought 2 devastating wars against military alliances attacking from the West in the past 100 years, are you really surprised that they are unwilling to give the US & NATO the benefit of the doubt?

Point 2. Logistics
Have you looked at a map lately? Kaliningrad to Warsaw: 275km. Kaliningrad to Vilnius: 300km St. Petersburg to Helsinki: ~350km
Even the US military, probably the king of expeditionary logistics, strains to support a 300-400km mechanized blitz with a 3-6 month buildup.
The Russians hit Tskhinvali pretty quickly but that's barely 140km from Nalchik. They have not demonstrated the ability to sustain a brigade or larger element at the distances required, let alone multiple axes of advance against national capitals in a short timeframe (such as all 3 of the Baltic States).

Finally....you have yet to spell out exactly why I should get my legs blown off so the (numerous, tall, and well-fed) sons of Europe can sleep peaceably in their beds. How is the "EU handed over to Putin" undermining my quality of life as an American expat in Asia? Can you even begin to actually articulate that, in real terms? Or are you only capable of posting one-liners of empty rhetoric?

It depends if George Soros funds the protests or not.

The "mass fake news" was fake. But that statement says NOTHING about the accuracy of the DNC internal documents one way or another.

The veracity of those emails can be confirmed. Because cryptography.

Russia did (at least) two nefarious things: first, hacked into the DNC internal documents (or at least tried to)

It's not factual to assert that the hack was perpetrated by the Russians or by the Russian government.

Oh, and it also contains *no* proof. Zero. None. Not even a little bit of proof. Nada. Zip.
But that's ok, we don't need no steekin' proof.

Zero Hedge? The site run by "Tyler Durden" that predicts multiple times a day that the US economy is about to crash?

I learned about Zero Henge in 2009 when they guaranteed that the US financial system was about to have a "complete economic collapse". Needless to say, this never happened. But the article scared me for a couple years, until I realized that it, and the site as a whole, are full of shit. It's time you realized this too.

> Nat Gas is the cheapest.

Natural gas is highly subsidized, and even still no company has pulled a profit on natural gas since 2008.

Plus the costs, which can be huge, are externalized onto taxpayers and landowners.

Take Pennsylvania, which made $204 million on taxing shale, but road damage from nat. gas was over $3.5 bn. That's just one state.

Plus, many natural gas companies have stopped paying landowners en masse. What happens when their class action lawsuits start to come through?

Natural gas being cheap is a short term aberration.

For reference: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...

I've been waiting for this to happen for a few years. The numbers are just getting more and more red. Even the Financial Times is comparing the shale industry to the dotcom bubble. The bit about crappy shale stock being sold by the cargo pallet to insurance companies and pensions funds sounds worryingly like the mortgage bubble. People are openly talking about similarities between the housing market crash and this shale bubble except, the shale bubble is 'only' 1/4 the size of the mortgage bubble. Well tell that to the people who will lose a large portion of their pension. Oops, the free market did a boo boo, nothing personal just business! Cold comfort if you ask me.

Nope! AC, you're wrong, and citylivin is 100% correct. It's hot Chinese money looking to leverage wealth outside of China. This is what happens when globalism rewards those in nations with institutionalized corruption; the money will flea to saver havens. This is why the housing market is HOT in Australia, Canada, and US coastal cities. In effect, the cheap goods and services you're paying for is in fact landing in the hands of those that will ratchet up affordable housing in YOUR area, this pricing you out of the market and as a perpetual renter. Yeah, not so much of a good deal now was it?! Oh, and now you're double-fucked with the student loan debt!!!

Chinese Driven Vancouver Housing Bubble Moves To Seattle - "This Is Vancouver 2.0"

Already home sales for first time buyers screeched to a halt once the interest rates rose post-election. Interest rates will have zero impact on the cash buying market (HAM). It will however drive the prices of homes down in areas where the HAM market isn't as strong though; to offset the increased interest rates of course. You see, with so much personal debt, what matters this generation is how much you can afford to pay the mortgage a month. So the whole picture has to be taken into account via sliding scale of home prices in relation to interest rates.

...in order to force taxpayer-funded abortions on the American public.

You may think that's an exaggeration, but look how tenaciously Nancy Pelosi insisted on the provision during the debate over Obamacare, forcing Stupak's block of flippers to cave rather than give it up.

Look how fervently the Obama Administration insisted that the Little Sister of the Poor must pay for abortifacients rather than come to an accommodation as required by the law.

ObamaCare was meant to fail as a means of forcing the full socialization of American medicine, true. But it was also designed as an instrument of the culture war, and one Democrats were determined to defend no matter how many legislators lost their seats over it.

And as for the current state of ObamaCare, take a look here.

What kindergarden did this journalist fail out of. There is so much factually wrong in TFA that it's hard to know where to start. Just off the top of my head:

- Massive spending binge = inflation = a decrease in the value of the dollar, not a "surge"

- "triple the current budget deficit from approximately $600 billion"...um, the current deficit is $1.4 trillion. The other figure comes from accounting tricks that would be illegal for anyone other than the government

- If the federal reserve dramatically raises interest rates, the interest on the massive national debt will skyrocket. The government will meet payments by issuing more debt (how else?). This will lead to more inflation, not to the dollar "hitting the moon"

- Anyway, if the dollar were to hit the moon, then BitCoin would be worth less in terms of dollars, not more. So the whole premise of the article is nonsense

How does an utterly ignorant article like this get published anywhere other than The Onion?????

Isn't the number of people who are not working a more important number? Last I looked that number was up to 95 million people.

The unemployment rate is just a distraction.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/... The Unemployment statistics conveniently ignore people who have given up looking for work.

Overnight and without warning, the government banned bills worth more than about $1.50. The result has been an absolute disaster:

97% of the Indian economy is cash-based. With 88% of all outstanding currency no longer usable, the economy is coming to a standstill. The daily-wage laborer, who leads a hand-to-mouth existence in a country with GDP per capita of a mere $1,600, no longer has work, as his employer has no cash to pay his wages. His life is in utter chaos. He is not as smart as Modi — despite the fact that Modi has no real life experience except as a bully and perhaps in his early days as a tea-seller at a train-station. He has no clue where his life is headed from here.

These people are going hungry, and some have begun to raid food shops. People are dying for lack of treatment at hospitals. Old people are dying in the endless queues. Some are killing themselves, as they are unable to comprehend the situation and simply don’t know what to do. There are now hundreds of such stories in the media.

Small businesses are in shambles, and many will probably never recover. The Hindu wedding season has just started and people are left with unusable banknotes. Their personal and family lives are now an utter disaster.

Banks and ATMs are running out of what little cash their is shortly after they open.

She's a useful idiot, funded by the donor class that have been directed towards her so that the DNC can keep their hands clean so they don't look like sore losers. Interesting that she's pulling in far more money for this than she could for most of her campaign, no? Also, her fundraising goal for this effort keeps climbing (over 300% so far), so maybe she isn't an idiot - more of a tool.

Maybe it's because the plan was the skew the polls to suppress the GOP vote by oversampling Democrats? A few national polls (USC/Dornsife, Rasmussen, IBD/TIPP) all had Trump up a point or two for the last few weeks of the campaign. This is really about sour grapes, and should be an object lesson in not letting a desire for a specific result to skew the methodology.

One only needed to look at the enthusiasm and size of events to get a good feel for how motivated a base was to turn out. Trump turned out tens of thousands to his events, Hillary dozens to a few hundreds. Pence had thousands, Kaine had dozens. There was no enthusiasm for the Clinton/Kaine campaign and it showed up at the vote.

Unfortunately, the major polls didn't account for enthusiasm - and that was the deciding factor. Trump got about the same number of votes as McCain and Romney (and had an actual increase in African American and Hispanic votes, by nearly 10% for each). Clinton dropped down by 10 million as compared to Obama in 2008, and 6 million as compared to Obama in 2012. She simply could not excite and turn out her traditional base.

Real unemployment in USA is in double digits, people without work cannot afford these sandwiches, so people eat out much less than before and so restaurants are scaling down.

I don't follow Australia economy much, so won't talk about it. With the restaurants scaling down and closing there will be way fewer jobs for grilling sandwiches but there will always be a few who will still do it at whatever the minimum wage of the time is and the top 1% will still be able to afford their services.

Minimum wage will put the people getting it out of jobs and the businesses will shut down too (or it will be the owners themselves grilling that cheese).

I am rather confused by your post. Officially the Australian unemployment rate is .8% higher then in the U.S . If you are indeed correct and the unemployment figure is double digits in the U.S, that means that Australia has half the unemployment rate of the U.S while having a minimum wage that is more then 2 times higher. The facts seem to show that a higher minimum wage leads to less unemployment rather then the other way around. This does make sense %70 of the GDP comes from the Consumer Economy. How is the Consumer Economy supposed to grow if %30 of the labor force is low-wage Service jobs that leaves families in need of Welfare assistance just to scrape by

the public has lost faith in the media broadly

Snopes included.

After faithfully repeating President Obama's promise, any "undocumented citizens" who vote will not be prosecuted for such fraud, the site declared the claim, that he made such a promise "False" anyway.

That's when even my industrial strength bullshit-meter blew up...

Fact-checkers are now grossly partisan and, to borrow a phrase, should not be doing a lot of talking. Consider the following hilarious example:

There are non-funny examples too.

The major media outlets went all into the tank for Hillary. The New York Times abandoned even a pretense of objectivity to editorialize against Trump on their front page. Wikileaks proved that CNN and the Washington Post (among others) actively colluded with the Clinton campaign against Trump.

And you know who this hurt most of all? Democrats. Because the MSM was so in the tank for Hillary, the Clinton campaign couldn't get the information it needed to make tactical choices on what money and effort to spend where. Wouldn't it have been more valuable for them to hear "Hey, Hillary may have a problem with previously Democratic blue collar voters in the rust belt" than "Campaign Inevitable is going to crush all puny obstacles between her and the White House! You go girl!"?

Instead they tried to drag the most corrupt candidate ever to run for President of the United States over the finish line, and now they wonder why no one trusts them anymore.

They exist.

Voter fraud is extremely rare, and the courts are enforcing federal law that makes sure people like you can't use it for cover to disenfranchise minorities.

Election fraud is a continuing problem across the US.

And you seem to have the issue of disenfranchisement backwards:

Victims of Voter Fraud: Poor and Disadvantaged are Most Likely to Have Their Vote Stolen

The Virginia scandal comes close on the heels of the voter fraud trials in upstate New York, where Democratic county elections officers and city councilmen from the town of Troy stand trial for absentee-ballot fraud. Four Democrats have already pleaded guilty in a case that highlights who the real victims of election fraud usually are: the poor, minorities, the sick, the old, and other vulnerable members of society.

Democratic Committeeman Anthony DeFiglio pleaded guilty to falsifying business records in the case, and he told investigators that "The people who are targeted [in voter fraud cases] live in low-income housing and there is a sense that they are a lot less likely to ask any questions." Even more disturbing was his admission that "What appears as a huge conspiracy to nonpolitical persons is really a normal political tactic."4

Another Troy Committeeman, Anthony Renna, admitted to forging absentee ballot applications and explained that handing in forged ballots and fake votes ensures that "ballots are voted correctly."

"I knew that the actual voters had not voted the ballots or signed the envelopes, but that did not concern me. I am not the ballot police," Renna told police. "I have been present when 'ballots were voted correctly' by party operatives."5 "Voted correctly" is fraud-speak for a forged application or ballot and it has nothing to do with the intentions of the lawful voter and everything to do with the interests of criminals who flagrantly violate election laws.

And who were the victims of this crime against the public? According to the Times Union, those disenfranchised Troy voters who had their ballots voted for them "correctly" included "public housing residents, college students, the semi-literate, a deaf man, the chronically ill and non-English speakers."6

Lest we think that this sort of thing only happens on the east coast, we should remember the illegal ballots cast by an estimated 5,000 non-citizens in Colorado's elections in 2010. Colorado's Secretary of State reported that a state study found nearly 12,000 people registered to vote in Colorado who were not citizens and were therefore not legally eligible to vote. Of those, the state believes that perhaps as many as 5,000 voted in the 2010 general election.7

People in the US have a constitutional right to travel, but you can't board an aircraft and even buses without an ID. You can't enter many government buildings without and ID. You can't open a bank account or cash a check of any real size without an ID. You may not be able to buy alcohol without an ID. What are the activists doing there? Nothing. Why do you think they only care about voting? Here's a hint:

Rampant Voter Fraud A

This is just a blatant Hatch Act violation.

Senator Reid — a Slashdot veteran? Why are you calling yourself "sh00z"?

While on the subject of Hatch Act, perhaps, you should look into John Podesta's BFF — who tipped her campaign before, and whose son joined the campaign openly — "investigating" Hillary Clinton?

The NBC article cites some of what, no doubt, NBC took to be the juiciest and most scandalous bits. I quote:

'There is a list of casualties in the Donbass region of Ukraine sent from a high-ranking separatist official, and a list of candidates for office in a sham election. One email notes that the individuals with asterisks next to their name were "checked by us" and are "especially recommended." Days later, those same names were announced as having been "elected."

'There are expense reports and a proposal for a government press office in Donetsk, scene of some of the fiercest fighting -- a three-person operation for separatist propaganda, with an editor, reporter and webmaster'.

Ooooh, a list of casualties in Donbass! That certainly proves Russian culpability beyond a shadow of doubt. Unless it just shows that the government of Russia was concerned about the number of Russian-speaking civilians of Russian descent who were being killed by the illegal Kiev regime. (If you don't agree that the regime is illegal, please note that "president" Petro Poroshenko has publicly admitted as much: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...).

A list of candidates in "a sham election". Well, the word "sham" was certainly added by the Ukrainians or NBC. The election was perfectly legitimate, in a region of Ukraine where the reggime had ceased to pay salaries, pensions and benefits and which its armed forces were bombarding (a war crime). It's hardly surprising that the local people decided to hold their own elections. "[W]hen a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security". Sound familiar, at all? Read the rest of the Declaration of Independence, with its long list of grievances and accusations against King George III - and I think you will find that it amounts to a hell of a lot less than the residents of Donbass have suffered at the hands of the Kiev regime.

As for the Russians saying which candidates they vouched for and approved of, it's hardly surprising that the Donbass voters were happy to accept that advice. Russia, after all, was (and is) their only hope for survival when the Kiev regime was doing its level best to exterminate them.

Expense reports! Perhaps the most eagerly sought-after secret information in the world of spies and spooks. (Unless of course Russian officials don't cheat on their expenses).

And plans for a press office in a foreign country where there is fighting going on! Thank goodness the USA never funds press offices or other media initiatives in foreign countries where there is fighting - like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria... or even Ukraine. (Are there any American press offices or media personnel in Ukraine? Does a camel have fleas?)

Definitely far more damning than some emails showing how the agents of a supposedly democratic party worked to change the results of a presidential election. Let me know when the people in Moscow whose emails were stolen are indicted by the FBI, as Mrs Clinton is about to be.

But you were saying they were rigid against Tesla before they were rigged against Tesla and we have proof that everyone used to say that!

Even if looks like they're going to crash and burn, Tesla will make America fabulous again.

"Bad guys in a movie are identifiable at first glance, but how can the ones in real life be found?"

Overwhelming amounts of evidence against them, and they'll lie in the face of it, despite incontrovertible proof.

Well done Mr. AC. It also highlights both the need for civic privacy and government transparency when it comes to catching criminals. Government transparency is something I doubt we will see any time from China or the U.S.

Considering the stuff that's come out from leaked emails including stuff like Hillary knowingly ordering the destruction of data even after demands for the data under law? You can take the link as you want, it does have backlinks to all of the previous leaked emails, previous statements and so on. That means she/they was lying, ignored official requirements, or simply believe they're so big they can avoid prosecution.

You might want to have a closer look at your source (and the actual evidence your source is using).

In Dec 2014, after delivering the first batch of emails to the FBI, Clinton decided to change the retention policy to 60-days (which would nuke all the old emails), but the sysadmin didn't actually do it.

In early March 2014 the House Committee issues a subpoena, in late March 2014 the sysadmin realized he hadn't carried out the request from back in December.

What Clinton and her team have maintained is that the sysadmin made the decision to violate the subpoena by belatedly carrying out the deletions on his own.

You may not believe it, but neither the sysadmin (who got immunity) nor the emails you're citing here, actually contradict that narrative.

This isn't even touching the pay-for-play stuff including the 12m payment to the clinton foundation while she was still sec. of state for her to come speak to the king of morocco.

Again your interpretation is contradicted by the first sentence of your source!

"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arranged a $12 million donation from Moroccan King Mohammed VI to her family’s charity in 2014 in return for the Clinton Global Initiative hosting its international meeting in the North African Muslim nation, according to an email made public Thursday by Wikileaks."

Of course it's not entirely your fault, the Daily Caller is apparently convinced that a charity doing something for a major donor is somehow wrong.

Considering the stuff that's come out from leaked emails including stuff like Hillary knowingly ordering the destruction of data even after demands for the data under law? You can take the link as you want, it does have backlinks to all of the previous leaked emails, previous statements and so on. That means she/they was lying, ignored official requirements, or simply believe they're so big they can avoid prosecution. So that leaves us with: Either the FBI is incompetent, turned a blind eye, or someone was holding a sword over their head in recommending prosecution.

This isn't even touching the pay-for-play stuff including the 12m payment to the clinton foundation while she was still sec. of state for her to come speak to the king of morocco. Or the enlistment of journalists/columnists to attack political candidates using her talking points.

No we don't "all know that" or any such thing. This is the problem with you guys - you start with your hatred of Trump and just *assume* the rest. Garbage in, garbage out.

NSA Whistleblower: US Intelligence Worker Likely Behind DNC Leaks, Not Russia

Instead of 17 agencies, only the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have offered the public any input on this matter, claiming the DNC attacks “are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts.”

Without offering any evidence, these two — not 17 — agencies hinted that the Kremlin could be behind the cyber attack. But saying they believe the hacks come from the Russians is far short of saying they know the Russians were behind them.

“[w]e have the information. If the F.B.I. asks, we are ready to supply the I.P. addresses, the logs, but nobody contacted us.”

“It’s like nobody wants to sort this out,”

Of course they don't want to sort this out. They want to blame the boogeyman and divert focus away from the actual crimes they committed, which were exposed by these hacks/leaks.

They've dump all kinds of info of real value. Here's one that links the violence incitement at Trump rallies back to the DNC

They've also just released some of Obama's emails where they're discussing picking positions with race and sex as the criteria. Pretty blatant racism and sexism there.

But the DNC-supporters don't listen to facts, they act on emotion, years of poor eduction, and DNC programming. There could be a release of a video of Hillary feeding infants into a wood-chipper while cackling, and Hillary confirming it, and they'd still try to defend her somehow. They're like some sort of cult. The Democratic National Cult. Except, they're not big on democracy either, so it's one of those ironic names.

What he hell do the email contents matter in regards to WL's value?
