  4. Re:Quick, Move Them!! on Mueller Report 'Summary' Delivered to US Congress (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    The Russians hate Hillary Clinton and were working against her and to sow discord in general. They weren't pro-Trump, they were anti-Clinton. It might be effectively the same but it wasn't their intent to elect Trump. They wanted whoever won to be a wounded winner.

  5. Re:Nope, not a crime on Mueller Report 'Summary' Delivered to US Congress (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Other than Manafort who was charged with crimes committed before becoming campaign chairman, all the other charges were process crimes (lying to the FBI). In fact, the FBI had investigated him years before but declined to indict him.

    The investigation didn't charge any Americans with crimes committed between the day Trump announced he was running and election day.

  13. Re:Looking for more Native American DNA on Former Top Waymo Engineer Altered Code To Go on 'Forbidden Routes', Report Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Because her Native ancestor was 6-10 generations back and they couldn't say if that person was full or not. The average white american has more Native DNA than that. Anything more than 4 generations back is insignificant.

  14. Al Gore Returns? on Climate Change Report Actually Understates Threats (thebulletin.org) · · Score: -1, Troll
