Will any of you dumbfucks apologize, or are you just going to keep pretending you don't notice the obvious treason taking place in front of your eyes?
You should read carefully the article. It makes two very important points:
1) "It is common for senior advisers of a newly elected president to be in contact with foreign leaders and officials."
2) "Obama administration officials say members of the Trump transition team never approached them about arranging a secure communications channel with their Russian contacts, possibly because of concerns about leaks."
In fact it is understandable the mistrust with American intelligence agencies right now, because, as Bloomberg put it, "the U.S. intelligence ship is too leaky to sail". Besides that, this Kushner-Flynn affair has ostensibly nothing to do with the alleged (and very unlikely IMO) Russian hack of the Democratic party, but it is related to the Syrian war, where American intelligence agencies have been playing dirty since the start and not in the interest of the American people (unless arming al-Qaeda is in the interest of the American people).
The only irony here is your attempt to refute my observation that too many people only want validation, by showing that you reject anything other than what you want to believe, and not even addressing the many referenced sources and facts that were presented to do.
When someone reports pseudo-facts, factoids and fake news as hard evidence, people tend to believe there's something fishy going on. I clicked on the first link (TIME magazine) and the article literally starts with: "Russian intelligence agencies have allegedly recently digitally broken into four different American organizations that are affiliated either with Hillary Clinton or the Democratic Party since late May". This is a factoid; there is no real reason to not think that the Democratic Party hack is 90% due to the internal grievances with the party misconduct toward Sanders: some intern dumped the data and then shared it to expose such petty behaviour. The whole Russian hack thing smells like a really smelly red herring.
I think that in the end you just proved your point: people want validation, you too.
If you want to see what life is like without capitalism, trying looking at Venezuela, where they're rioting because socialism can't provide enough food for them to eat.
One of the biggest and most overlooked problems with capitalism is that first you need the capitals, then you can get it. You know, Somalia has free market, zero taxation, so you may think it is some kind of capitalist heaven. It is not. Like India, or most of the world for that matter, where you have all the bases of the capitalist system, but there's a lack of capitals and so widespread poverty, precarious health, starvation.
It doesn't matter if Venezuela is socialist or not, because now Venezuela is like Saudi Arabia in ten years or so: a country without resources.
If it does not say who committed what, no, it is not enough. And I'd like to point out that the UN report does not say who was responsible, because the attacks were not carried out using standard chemical weapons, that is SCUD missiles or other specific rockets which were in Assad's arsenals at the time, but rearranged standard rockets were used instead. If it were the former, there wouldn't be much doubt, because only Assad had the right rockets, but the difficult part about chemical weapons is not producing the chemical agent (even a sect could do it), it is weaponize them: so the conclusive proof is in the rockets.
No, like it was never proved that Assad used nerve gas. It seems that only ISIS was held culpable of using prohibited chemical weapons in Syria (mustard gas).
Putin and the people working for him are very good at asking that sort of "question" and that is where this one comes from.
After Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, after Nayirah's testimony, after Afghanistan involvement in 9/11, after a lot of other "facts" that I'm not listing here (including alleged atrocities committed by Gaddafi), I'd say that sort of "question" is quite legitimate.

It's the other way around, a lot of indie and not so indie titles (mainly Japanese stuff, but also games like Tropico 5) are out on PS4, but not on Xbone.
That this is a bit disingenuous: the statement "GStreamer, a media framework that by default ships with many mainstream Linux distributions" is true, but the mentioned exploit does not requires just GStreamer, but a plugin from the "Bad" set, which is usually not installed by default in Linux distros.
GStreamer can run SPC file only if the GStreamer Bad Plugins (and libgme) are installed: they're called "bad" for a reason, e.g. they lack a good code review.
I have to point out that if your awesome alternative to capitalism specifically requires trade with the US in order to succeed, it's reasonable to wonder if you really have an awesome alternative to capitalism.
There are two problems with this.
The first one is that the implementation of a given idea can only work under certain circumstances, there is no absolute in this world. In this case the circumstances were against Cuba, since its biggest neighbour was openly hostile against them and that is a detrimental situation no matter what economic system you use. It is a situation similar to that of Ukraine and Russia, even though Ukraine is much bigger than Cuba and Russia is a smaller economy than the USA.
The second problem is that it wasn't just for the US: the US embargo was meant to hinder any economic relation of Cuba, through retaliation against every subject (nation, company, individual) having business with Cuba. Basically, of all their closest neighbours, Cubans had relations only with Venezuela.
Batista's Cuba was famous for literacy and doctors per capita, compared to the rest of Latin America, so Castro's improvements were pretty small
Life expectancy in Batista's Cuba was far lower than in the USA at the time, in Castro's Cuba it is higher. Literacy in Batista's Cuba was estimated between 60% and 76% (because there is no data for the neglect countryside), taking the highest esteem it was the fourth highest in Latin America at the time, today it is 99.7% according to Unesco data, highest in Latin America.

Good job finding clean water in most of the world.

Seems unlikely that the rebels could get the sarin.
Sarin is quite difficult to use effectively, like most chemical weapons, but it isn't hard to produce. The Aum Shinrikyo sect was able to synthesise Sarin in a few months ("in 1993, the leader Asahara directed his cult members to begin the mass production of Sarin, and in November 1993, they had succeeded"), while trying to hide it from police. The difficult part is to use it as an effective weapon on your enemies.
No, like it was never proved that Assad used nerve gas. It seems that only ISIS was held culpable of using prohibited chemical weapons in Syria (mustard gas).
I wasn't talking about the Pan Am Flight 103 incident, that happened decades before the attack on Lybia. I was talking about the propaganda that was fed to the public opinion in 2011.
But I know that nothing that you say to a "false flag conspiracy" theorist will ever be listened to.
It's funny (or sad) that you say that, while you're trying to support your point of view using the same "false flag conspiracies" you seem to disdain so much: the Khan-al-Assal chemical attack was perpetrated on Assad's Syrian positions, killing scores of soldiers and loyalist civilians.
The official rebel claim on the issue: "Qassim Saadeddine, a spokesman for the Free Syrian Armys Higher Military Council in Aleppo, [...] accused the government of attacking its own people in order to smear the opposition". That's a flase flag in my vocabulary, perhaps yours has different words depending on who is accused.
Amazing how the rebels keep bombing themselves with chemical weapons while never hitting Assad-controlled areas with them.
They did. The first reports of usage of chemical weapons in Syria were about the rebels using them against Assad.
Moreover the manufacturing of dangerous chemical components is quite easy. The difficult part is to use them effectively against an enemy. It is far easier to use them in false flag operations, than directly hit your foes.
And how they keep simultaneously destroying their hospitals at the same time. Silly rebels!
The rebels sold all the medical equipment they found to hoard money for their war. Those hospitals were already destroyed.
Putin and the people working for him are very good at asking that sort of "question" and that is where this one comes from.

That this is a bit disingenuous: the statement "GStreamer, a media framework that by default ships with many mainstream Linux distributions" is true, but the mentioned exploit does not requires just GStreamer, but a plugin from the "Bad" set, which is usually not installed by default in Linux distros.
According to the Ubuntu manifest only Base and Good plugins are installed by default, like in most distros by the way.
