    Sophistry.

    Desperation. They'd rather incite a war with a nuclear power than admit that Hillary Clinton wasn't electable, something everyone and their mother tried to tell them a year ago.

    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.

    They're already suppressing it. The various hashtags talking about this were artificially blocked from trending.

    What is the next step they could take? Auto-hiding tweets talking about it? (They're already doing that.) Banning users for talking about it? Auto-removing discussion of his name?

  8. The virus writers went elsewhere and people forgot. The CIA didn't forget.

    But the 'feature' is useless if it's so easy to detect. Bet they never let it into the wide of their own secure networks, for fear of their politicians getting 'caught' and embarrassed.

    Embarrassed? They don't embarrass politicians they catch. They secure funding from politicians they catch.

    Hell, it's the same trick they used (via a broken flash plugin) in Operation Pacifier to figure out who was connecting to the FBI's child porn server on TOR. You know, the operation that caused them to repeal the 4th Amendment for anyone using a computer that has TCP/IP installed?

    Quite different points though. Sarah Silverman's point being about the grotesquery of Trump, and PewDiePie's being about "it's fine to be an antisemitic little shithead"

    No, his point for the clip that was taken out of context was:

    * "Youtube Heroes is an Authoritarian nightmare that is going to attract the worst kinds of people."
    * "The media likes to take things out of context to slander people."

    Free market at work.

    The same Regressive leftist trolls smugly stating that this is fair game to do to PewDiePie also raised unholy living hell when GamerGate did it to Gawker.

    One of the videos they cropped to make him look bad was LITERALLY about how the media likes to crop videos to make people look bad.
