They think this because the Democrats have such a list, and would have used such a list if it benefited them. Unfortunately for them, Trump was a person that didnt have such a list, so we are left with the only fact: The Democrats have such a list and are scumbag enough to use it.
Jezzuz Christ, Boris, You need to write your bullshit before the second bottle of vodka. Your bullshit only works if it makes sense on some level.
1) "It is common for senior advisers of a newly elected president to be in contact with foreign leaders and officials."
Is it common for senior advisers to go to the Russian embassy to use their equipment to contact those foreign leaders in secret?
Remember, the "secret" part is that they were trying to keep it secret from Americans.
In no sane environment is this not high treason . Simply not. Not ever. In no sane environment would anyone who is not traitorous themselves stand up for for it.
But in the end, sanity will prevail. Looking at a lot of social media, the "fake news" "absolutely no evidence" "president has the absolute right to hand out foreign intel" crowd is starting to be marginalized, if not pounced upon as "Ivan" or "Boris" Their influence is waning fast.
I still believe Trump is just an unwilling puppet as opposed to being Putin's Cock Holster. Not sure about Jared and the rest.
So we're already in Ronald Reagan/Iran-Contra mode? Just between us chachalacas, this treasonous activity is getting harder and harder to excuse without actually supporting it.
The amazing thing is they apparently thought they could get away with it.
Yeah there was a recent case in Thailand where 2 tourist had magic mushrooms and one of them decided he feel like flying asking the friend to join him, then proceeding to jump to his death following that.
Don't think just smoking marijuana can make you do something like that....
Just try throwing a bag of Cheetos on the sidewalk and see what the potheads will do.
Another problem is that they ignore the quality of the experience. A sugar pill is safe but it would be silly to say it is the "best" drug since it doesn't do anything.
Hold on there cowboy! If the sugar pill contains Fructose, it is a proven killer. Make certain your placebo pills are only of the safe and healthy sugar, Sucrose!

Y The fact that many Senators and Congresspeople don't is to a large extent a reflection of how two aspects of our government system (the ability to gerrymander congressional districts, and the fact that senators are elected by state and many low population states lean right) distort what our elected government ends up looking like compared to what it would on a strict population basis.
You forgot to add that the politicians are paid for their belief by the people that they actually work for.
As the Exxon papers prove, the industry works hard in a "tobacco lawyer" style to sow uncertainty, and pays politicians handsomely to do as the industry wishes.
There was one I saw awhile back that had a "2S" in it for "two spirits," which is what native americans called people who were transgender. So, the acronym will not be complete when they run out of letters in the alphabet. They've got numbers now, too.
The USA did this back in the 1960s with Ralph Nader and his efforts to hold the car makers accountable for building unsafe cars, so they can do it again.
The second iteration of "unsafe at any speed"!
If a automobile can be disabled or caused to do things that are unsafe to the occupants, it is no less a problem than if the brakes stop working because of a mechanical problem. And if it is an inherent problem that can cause many vehicles to have the same problem - and let's face it, auto malware can potentially cause all vehicles to have the same problem, then there is case history that the manufacturer is liable.
It's not legal to charge different, individual people a different price.
Are you sure? That would make "ladies' night" where women are charged less than men illegal, as well as hairdressers who charge a man less for a basic hair cut than a woman with the same hair length/volume.
It's obvious that there is a difference between something that is generally agreed upon by both parties, and a pricing system that when applied at it's most efficient manner is one that if you were to ask the customer for any more, they would tell you to fuck off.
Ladies night, by charging less for women, is designed to make good will from ladies, and more men would be likely to attend, hoping to get laid by some drunk woman.
Anyone going to a hairdresser will understand that almost all women's haircuts are more expensive simply by virtue of the time it takes to perform the job. Even then, they have a price for a basic cut, a cut and wash, and all of the other things like coloring, perms, weaves, etc.
But back to Uber, yes, if they want to charge a million bucks for a quarter mile ride, they can do that. And go out of business. And if they want to charge a woman half or twice as much as me, yup. But we also have the right to not use their service, the right to know they are charging some people more than others, and as much as we might defend it in principle, it is gonna piss people off, and is a great way to lose business. People dont' like that kind of shit, and businesses who do that kind of shit lose out to competition and ill will. But yes, Uber has a right to go out of business due to stupid decisions.
You need a citation that security updates make a computer safer?
You can prove that there is less virus activity because of Windows 10.
All said, a lot of people turned off Windows 7 updates just because Microsoft loaded Windows 10 on their machines without permission. A lot of people got mysterious blank windows that would install Windows ten with a pretty tenuous definition of "permission".
Microsoft's insidious practice of trying to ram W10 down peoples gullets, with an interface they didn't like and telemetry they didn't want, and update and security they didn't want, and when the best way to avoid the assault on your property was to turn off updates....
Sorry, but a lot of us are of the opinion that Windows 10, rather than make the internet safe, when coupled with Microsoft's heavy handed intrusion on people - set up the situation of both disabling updates, and disabling migration to Windows 10.
Same reasons as always. Lazy and incompetent IT staff at corporations, low knowledge techies that disable Windows Update, long beards who only install certain updates manually after reading the associated KB article and self-determining whether or not they need an update.
This is one of the reasons that Microsoft set Windows Update to be automatic in Windows 10. It makes the OS much safer and generally makes the internet safer as a whole.
Thank you, you can pick up your check tomorrow.
Just don't be so rough on the assholes, they are going to catch on to us.
While you are undoubtedly correct, given how many times it has been demonstrated that cars are not currently secure, the fact is, cars do need this.
You make automobiles safe by not making them accessible, not by turning them into cum dumpsters for every malware writer who want to send you over a cliff for the LuLz.
There is no such thing as an internet secure device, even try to mname one, and it will be cracked in no time. If software can be made, allowing others access to it means they can compromise it.
Now educate me how I am wrong, and we are not just introducing another Internet of things disaster, only with people ending up dead.
The alterative is not between cars needing this and cars not needing this. The alternative is between cars need this and having it and cars needing this and not having it.
Isn't it just freaking amazing that we have had road travelling vehicles for over a hundred years, and now it is mandatory that we open the gates for the visigoths to come in and play with them?
Technology can be awesome, But stupid technology is always stupid.
That person sounds to me like somebody that has invested their entire life into Windows without looking at other options.
I would agree. I'm in another conversation in the same group where there has been a problem with Windows 10 updates. We're all still sussing out the problem, its looking like the main issue is Windows force feeding some drivers. Some dude comes in yapping about how we should expect to do complete uninstalls (like revo deep scan type, not a regular uninstall) every few weeks, even keep rolling back, because "that's just how it is". Bolshy Yarblockos! There's some low expectations for ya!
There's another thing, in that some of these people would be out of work without Windows machines. I spent a lot of the last part of my career fixing screwed up Windows machines, and it was 90 percent of the time because of an update. I wasn't even a computer support guy, I was just a lot more comfortable with suits than most IT guys, and I was already in the meetings.
And that could be changed with a few well placed dev teams. Steam has been doing nothing wonders in the last 4 years with this. And hopefully in just a few years more there will be no need to be tied to either os. As far as servers go a UNIX base is will always be superior to Windows.
Unix is why I like MacOS, and when I got into Linux, it was an epiphany, if you can do in-depth Mac, you can do Linux.
And I'm certain some Windows fan will parrot the meme that MacOS is for hipsters. Um hum, People who don't even know what a command line is often spout that.
Can you name 3 companies with 100% Properly setup and correctly-secured Windows networks?
You'll notice that whenever the "properly set up" meme is trotted out, that the next sentence invariably describes some thing no one does.
Even then, the number of unintelligent Windows lubbers that spout bullshit is incredible. I just got my ass (presumably) handed to me in a forum when I suggested that people should disable SMB unless for some reason they really had to have it. A Windows expert called me every form of stupid, how SMB is not an attack vector, and that it has to be enabled. I just gave a few cites, bowed out, and let the others pile on the expert like crocodiles on a Wildebeest.
Virus writers will target the largest market portion.
So- you are saying that Linux is every bit as insecure as Windows?
Prove it.
In fact, There are Plenty enough Linux run computers and servers that make a presumed easily compromised Linux OS' an attractive target.
Fact - there have been viruses and malware written for Linux. If your thesis was correct, no one would write any viruses for Linux. At all.
Some random thoughts.
Linux users do tend to be more computer and internet savvy. Most I know know enough not to click on a phishing link. It appears that many users of Microsoft systems have no issue with clicking on them.
If you are correct about the long discarded security through obscurity hypothesis, don't for a minute that I want you to switch to Linux. I want as many people to use only Microsoft products, and to put their fingers in their ears and scream "neeneer, neeneer, I can't hhhhheeeeeerrrrr You!!, And never ever install Linux or Use a Mac. Stick with Windows, use only Microsoft Office and don't abandon the ship.

When the opposition is reduced to people that can only scream empty buzzwords, even someone like trump can win.
Bigly.

We are tired of winning already.
Putin owns el Presidente Tweetie's ass.
And it seems to be paying off for them big time so far.
I'm starting to think that the golden shower video is going to show up any day. So much of what was denied has turned out to be true so far.
I still believe Trump is just an unwilling puppet as opposed to being Putin's Cock Holster. Not sure about Jared and the rest.

So then the ER wouldn't be the last place. At best it would be the antepenultimate place you'd take someone.
Bet you've been waiting for years to use antepenultimate in a sentence.
They didn't say Shrooms were the "Best" drug, they said the safest. Two very different things. "Best" would surely be subjective.
Where can I score some of this "subjective", dude?
Another problem is that they ignore the quality of the experience. A sugar pill is safe but it would be silly to say it is the "best" drug since it doesn't do anything.

Citation needed. I have seen many Windows updates that cause Windows to completely fail to start.
That's the new Windows model - Security through inoperability.
