I can't wait for the bullshit liberals will use to spin this asshole liberal wanker
Your wait was short. The shooter is already a hero to some... To the hate-filled enemies of the Republic — perfectly willing to kill the ideological opponents after losing in debates and elections.
?? The guns of his police detail were very good for the injured Congressman's health. They also simply killed the asshole shooter, saving us millions of dollars on his trial — which is an (anecdotal) example of how they can be useful for the economy, not just personal health.
If, by sabotage, you mean they report what he says and does, then I concede the point
No, by "sabotage" I mean publication of falsehoods and innuendo, which, without stating an accusation, masterfully create a perception of the impeachment-worthy "high crimes and misdemeanors" having already been committed by the President.
he should stop giving them so much fodder.
What "fodder" did he give anybody to accuse him of treason? None — but for months weweretalking about it... Indeed, Comey, of all people, knew perfectly well, the charges of "treason" are so baseless, there is not even an investigation about them — but still maneuvered to have a special prosecutor appointed to investigate something — even though no one can even state a coherent accusation, much less prove anything.
That is done to sabotage his agenda — there is no other plausible explanation — an undeniable and objective fact...
The actual winner spends a far portion of each and every day sabotaging himself.
Whether this is true or not, it has littled-to-nothing to do with my point. Which is that major newspapers and TV-channels do try their worst to sabotage him. Your attempts to change subject from that to Trump's own actions are just that — attempts to change subject.
Now, we may disagree on judging such sabotage — whether it is commendable or despicable for these guys to slow down the President's fulfilling his promises — but you can not deny the fact of it.
I mean seriously, one would think that if he were concerned about it at the time, he (or rather, his administration) would have at least informed the IT folks over the affected systems so that they could at least try and remediate and harden things?
Washington elites were so sure, Hillary would win, they didn't want to publicize the hacking attempts for fear of delegitimizing her.
Now that she lost, they are sabotaging the actual winner with this unending allusions and unstated allegations and innuendo — to slow him down and prevent him from implementing, what the voters voted for.
The problem could waited twice longer — giving the 32bit iPads time to break down and die of old age on their own — but somebody wasted an entire bit for the possibility to return -1 somewhere...
Any time you pick ssize_t over size_t, for example, you are making the same decision...
Not true. Though neither is proof, an actual copy is more convincing than notes taken by someone, who claims to have seen the document. Or, for another example, the posted scan of a copy of Obama's birth certificate was less convincing, than a scan of original. And so on — the further away it is from the source, the less convincing it is.
I can certainly see, how the methods being researched could help the good guys. But to better publicize the project, a much more compelling poster-boy or girl is needed than Ms. Winner — a supporter of Iran, who sincerely believes, American President is the vilest person in the US (if not the world)...
You could argue just the same that we should deny clearances to anyone that is or was opposed to the invasion of Iraq
Not quite. Opposing the invasion is one thing, promising to "stand with Iraq" — against the US — in case of any such invasion — is another...
Same goes for the other examples — you don't have to agree with anyone's opinion, indeed, it is unclear, whose opinion it would be — but you must not be willing to sabotage your country's efforts...
But telling your leader he's full of shit is a requirement to be a citizen in America.
If he really is full of shit, it certainly is a duty of the rest of us to say so — unless he is Black or some other minority, of course. But that's off-topic.
Try it, got up to Putin
Even further off-topic.
"Your full of shit."
You are doing this on purpose, aren't you? Having lost on substance, you are just posting this grammar-challenged nonsense to annoy me? I think, we are done here...
has 31.8 million followers [...] What do you think of Trump's tweets?
What does it mater, what I think of it? I, for one, don't even have a Twitter account...
People annoyed by the tweets don't have to follow him. As long as such following is not mandatory (as subscription to "Pravda" once was in a galaxy far and far away), why is this question on Slashdot's front page?
You could actually publicly be a communist or an anarchist [...]
That's kind of sad — as if the Rosenbergs' case has not taught us any lessons...
Other than that the main emphasis of a clearance investigation seems to revolve around whether or not someone could blackmail you.
Yes, it makes perfect sense to check, whether an otherwise loyal citizen can be compelled into treason by an asshole... But one should still be even more suspicious of actual assholes — like our "heroine"...
It is not proven, but it is perfectly plausible — does not contradict anything we already know. We know, the Democratic Party has local operatives in major cities — certainly those, where the local government is Democrat-dominated — who are ready, indeed enthusiastic about inciting riots and commit other crimes to "win this motherfucker".
Why is it such an outrageous stretch to suspect, there are a few people, who are willing to commit actual murder — or pay a cynical someone for same — for the Greater Good(TM)? And we do know, that killing President would be considered Ok — what's so unbelievable about it seeming Ok to kill a lowly DNC-staffer, if he is deemed a traitor to the Progressive cause?
We also know, the very "heroine" of this story is afraid of being "disappeared" — despite being in government's custody. Is it because she would've approved of such "disappearance" of her political opponents? And if she can be afraid of being killed by government employees, why is it so unbelievable, that a Party's operative could kill someone on a street in bad neighborhood — political assassination masked as a botched robbery?
Which means, he is one step ahead of the folks demanding "Trump investigation" and "Russian connection". Those not only have no proof, but can't even state the charge...
Are you that worried it might delegitimize your guy?
Yes, that is a valid concern. The constant talk of "treason" — despite no one being able to even state a coherent accusation, much less prove it — slows down his agenda and keeps him from fulfilling his promises. You know this and quite deliberately keeping up the talk and the shitposting on the subject.
we're so partisan we can't repel a foreign invader
What "illiberals"? This 25 year-old progressive, for example, who "resisted" Trump by, apparently, leaking this very story to the press. She is, obviously, more interested in "repelling" Trump, than Putin...
The only demographic that voted leave were pensioners, while every other worker voted remain
Stipulating your unsourced statistics is true, you are, once again, exposing yourself as undemocratic. Because, in your "sophisticated" opinion, pensioners are less equal than other voters.
This was a perfect opportunity to offer citations, but you missed it... I wonder, why...
Same as the trump voters on the dole in the us.
Stipulating this is true — and you offer no citations for some reason, people voting against their own selfish interest for the betterment — real or perceived — of the country, are to be applauded and celebrated, not condescended to.
Once there are actual policy changes due to Brexit.
Once again, when? Need not be precise — you can be off by 1-3 years. Name the year...
slightly more sophisticated democracy [...] reversing course to remain in the EU
Wait, wait, wait... I have not studied the issue personally, because I'm not British, and so have no opinion, whether Brexit is good or bad for that country (or the EU). But I do know, what "Democracy" means. The elite's intent and/or ability to go against the will of the people — the will, that, for better or worse, was clearly and unambiguously expressed in a nation-wide referendum — is the opposite of Democracy. I sure hope, they will not, in fact, be able to do it, nor are even planning to try...
But whether or not they do, you have been forever exposed as an arrogant anti-Democratic snob, who pretends to know better than the "unwashed masses" and only appeals to the concept of "Democracy" when it suits you, ready to abandon its principles, when that cantankerous Demos rejects your ideas...

About as well as Obama's hashtag diplomacy did...
Citations?
?? The guns of his police detail were very good for the injured Congressman's health. They also simply killed the asshole shooter, saving us millions of dollars on his trial — which is an (anecdotal) example of how they can be useful for the economy, not just personal health.
False — already rebutted by cayenne8. And irrelevant anyway.
?? Of course, weapons have very productive uses — indeed, one such use was demonstrated by the police this very morning!
Two false statements out of two... But nice try, anyway.
He learned it from the El Presidente.
FTFY.
Only if every auto accident is an argument to ban automobiles...

It is much harder to prove authenticity in this case. Like rewriting the text by hand — it just is not as convincing.
That said, when it comes to accusing Trump, authenticity obviously yields to outrageousness in importance...
Not quite. Opposing the invasion is one thing, promising to "stand with Iraq" — against the US — in case of any such invasion — is another...

Quite coherent...
The vigilantes at InfoWars have dug up the following tweets from the accused:
the most dangerous entry to this country was the orange fascist we let into the white house Because Trump is worse than Putin... I can't imagine having kids, i worry enough about the impact of #climatechange on my cats There are many Americans protesting US govt aggression towards Iran. If our Tangerine in Chief declares war, we stand with you! Because GOP are worse than nuclear-armed mullahs.How could she — after openly siding with the enemy and professing utter disrespect to the Commander in Chief — have received a Top Secret clearance?
At least, the GP is offering a coherent accusation .
Which means, he is one step ahead of the folks demanding "Trump investigation" and "Russian connection". Those not only have no proof, but can't even state the charge...
Yes. Until we can agree on what to do...
Yes, that is a valid concern. The constant talk of "treason" — despite no one being able to even state a coherent accusation, much less prove it — slows down his agenda and keeps him from fulfilling his promises. You know this and quite deliberately keeping up the talk and the shitposting on the subject.
Yes, we are. Such is the Illiberals' hatred towards Trump, it even made them switch their opinion of Russia.
What "illiberals"? This 25 year-old progressive, for example, who "resisted" Trump by, apparently, leaking this very story to the press. She is, obviously, more interested in "repelling" Trump, than Putin...
Now we are supposed to base public policy based on data Iran collected?..
But, hey, why not try this in Venezuela now? Surely, Maduro will listen to the foreign fans of Bolivarian revolution...
Stipulating your unsourced statistics is true, you are, once again, exposing yourself as undemocratic. Because, in your "sophisticated" opinion, pensioners are less equal than other voters.
I get it — screw the elderly and their outdated opinions... Living beyond 75 is unethical anyway...
