I wouldn't trust data that can be politicized. However all the map data I've ever got from the US Geological Survey and the Census Bureau has been spectacular.
You can also expect homelessness to be mentioned on the news again. Oh and the anti-war protestors who were mysteriously silent during Obama's non-stop drone wars will suddenly freak out because Trump bombs ISIS.
South Park did an episode about this when Tiger Woods was caught banging whores, and all the ugly women and fags just for the life of them couldn't figure out why rich and powerful men were banging hot young women. Eventually Obama had to make up a story that it was aliens making them do it or something. You can't figure out the whole "women want to fuck rich guys" thing, so which are you, a faggot or a fat woman?
And from what I've heard Bill told them they were fucking up, and she needed to go to Michigan and Wisconsin and talk to workers and unions and they laughed at him.
Trump followed Bill's same plan from '92: It's the Economy, Stupid. So all Trump talked about was jobs, jobs, jobs (and some terror). But all Hillary talked about was Trump and minority pandering.
By providing an example of "acceptable" behavior via his constant personal attacks on people, I think he's going to signal to everyone that they no longer need to be civil to one another.
The left hasn't been civil...basically ever. If you have a difference of opinion you are shouted down as a racist, sexist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, literally double mega Hitler. Trump is just the first person on the right who found a way to fight back in a long, long time.
I would love to have polite, civil discussions, but the left is going to need to stop shouting down, deplatforming, and physically attacking everyone who disagrees with them, and understand that it's possible to disagree with leftist politics without being a seething wraith of pure hatred wrapped in human skin. I don't see this happening any time soon though.
That just makes him sound cool though. What's wrong with pussy grabbing, so long as they let you do it? Isn't that the entire reason men get rich and famous, is so women will let them grab their pussies?
I think it's the other way around. You started with the emotional reaction of hating Trump, and so you're looking for additional justification for hating him or delegitimizing him. Hence, you believe the completely known liars from the CIA who say bad things about him without presenting a shred of evidence.
Anyone looking at the situation with no emotional bias towards or against Trump would see the lack of evidence and the CIA's history as liars and manipulators and come to the conclusion the CIA was lying. It takes emotional prejudice, as you have, to believe known liars who provide you with no evidence.
You'll notice in polls the only people who believe the CIA are leftist/democrat partisans. Independents don't because they don't have the emotional prejudice against Trump necessary to throw reason out the window.
How is the minority of rural average Americans tyrannical? The tyrannical side right now is the property confiscating, censoring, thought-controlling left. Not the average rural Americans who just want to be left alone.
Trump called on Russia to release illegally obtained information on Clinton during his campaign.
And that means what exactly? I thought it was pretty good rhetoric highlighting Clinton's carelessness with her email server.
Trump's policies are definitely pro-Russian.
No, they're just not anti-Russian. There is absolutely no reason for there to be hostility between the US and Russia, but Hillary was dead-set on war with Russia over Syria so her paymasters in Saudi Arabia and Qatar could get their pipeline instead of Putin's Iran pipeline.
It's at least a reasonable line of investigation.
Not really. It's the DNC and their media mouthpieces ("It's illegal to look at WikiLeaks!!!" -- CNN) desperate to distract from the content of the leaks, and a convenient way for the CIA to smear WikiLeaks with black propaganda. Lefties on Slashdot are gullible as hell. Before this Russia shit if the CIA said the sky is blue/.ers would have looked out of their basements to check and now it's all "HOW YOU DARE YOU QUESTION THE CIA!!!!"
Nothing has changed. The CIA didn't suddenly start telling the truth. WikiLeaks didn't suddenly start lying. Lefties on/. are just grasping at straws because they're assblasted about Trump and can't deal with losing.
But nothing at all salacious. Assange said everything they have on Trump is the same stuff he says publicly.
The US intelligence agencies have said they found evidence the RNC was also hacked.
This is/. We don't believe things US intelligence agencies say here.
Trump is careless and no doubt has given ample opportunity to collect incriminating material.
Trump doesn't use email, and there's no evidence he's engaged in anything criminal.
You're buttmad about Trump so all of a sudden the CIA is good guys who we can totally trust with no evidence and Wikileaks is evil Russian bad guys because the CIA says so. Trump Derangement Syndrome has knocked an awful lot of/.ers' tinfoil hats off, and they really need to get those glued back on.
Because rehabilitation doesn't really work. The vast majority (like 85%) of people who have any contact with the justice system never again have contact with the justice system. Even a weekend in the drunk tank does it. They are scared fucking straight. So "rehabilitation" doesn't do anything for them...they don't need it. The other 15% are repeat offenders who are too stupid to engage in long term planning (we're talking IQs in the 70s and 80s here), so they go right back out and commit crimes because they are mentally incapable of thinking ahead to the consequences. So the best option is removal from society. Put them in jail where they can't hurt people. But you can't "rehabilitate" stupid.
Eh, the lefties on/. decided Assange is a bad man now that he exposed the corruption of the DNC and Hillary Clinton, allowing Trump to win the election. They loved Julian when he was exposing Bush era war crimes, but as soon as he exposed their corruption they got mad. So mad they're actually believing evidence-free claims from the CIA about scary Russian cyberhackers. Before this election those three letter agencies were four letter words on slashdot, but now if you don't with 100% certainty believe Putin personally hacked the entirety of time and space to elect Trump then oh my God who are you to doubt the conclusions of the US intelligence community?! I mean, would they lie to you?!
Used to be if the CIA said the sky was blue slashdotters would stick their heads out of the basement to check. But Trump Derangement Syndrome has got them believing anything the spooks jizz in their ears.
And what pray tell is Hillary going to be pardoned for?
Bribery. Selling political favors for donations to her foundation and speech money for Bill.
She's been investigated more than any candidate in US history, and if there was something to bring charges against her over, it would have happened by now.
You're begging the question that the only reason charges were not brought against her are because there's nothing to bring charges over. No, the reason charges are not brought is because politics, not because of innocence. There is an established pattern of companies and foreign governments who had business before Hillary's state department who gosh, never seemed all that interested in hearing any of Bill Clinton's speeches before, but suddenly felt like paying him 3x his going rate for some that fine, fine speechifyin'. And then as soon as the business was decided in their favor, they coincidentally never bothered to want to hear from Bill again. Oh and now that the Clintons are out of power the Clinton Global Initiative is shutting down. I wonder why? Wouldn't they have more time than ever for "charity work?"
That's enough to indict. You don't need a smoking gun, just a pattern of behavior. If you see a pattern of people pulled over for what would be a $100 speeding ticket who all get left off with a warning who then just happen to drive over to the police officer's daughter's girl scout cookie stand to buy $50 worth of cookies, I don't need a recording over the quid pro quo to indict for bribery/corruption, just the fact that pattern was followed enough times is plenty.
We have that pattern clearly established with the Clintons. And you can indict a ham sandwich. If this ham sandwich is not getting indicted, it's because someone is choosing not to indict. And you acknowledge this in your next sentence. If the Trump administration doesn't pursue her it won't be because she's sweet innocent Hillary who dindu nuffin: it'll be a political decision.
So we can absolutely keep with the Clinton Crime Syndicate rhetoric, because they are criminals, just like the Bush family is criminals, but they stay out of jail not because they're innocent but because the putrid, corrupt Washington political machine they're all part of won't jail them for fear of mutually assured destruction.

So you don't like the "alternative facts" meme. What's a better word for "the things the news media leaves out so they can lie by omission?"
For example, he claims that up to 42% in the US are out of work.
You sure he wasn't just talking about young black males?
Oh no! In what way did Trump lie about inauguration attendance?
But what about when the truth is racist or sexist?
South Park did an episode about this when Tiger Woods was caught banging whores, and all the ugly women and fags just for the life of them couldn't figure out why rich and powerful men were banging hot young women. Eventually Obama had to make up a story that it was aliens making them do it or something. You can't figure out the whole "women want to fuck rich guys" thing, so which are you, a faggot or a fat woman?
Wait, then where the fuck did my kids come from?!?
Violent crime is highly concentrated though.
And from what I've heard Bill told them they were fucking up, and she needed to go to Michigan and Wisconsin and talk to workers and unions and they laughed at him.

We know about the debate questions being leaked because they were in Podesta's emails you fucking moron.

Actually the last book I'm aware of Trump reading was Ann Coulter's "Adios, America." It's a good book. You should read it.
You realize that he paid the Clintons several hundred thousand dollars to be at his wedding, right, doesn't that make your little red blood boil?
No? Trump was a businessman buying favors from whore politicians.
You're going to be so mad when Trump Makes America Great Again and we add him to Mount Rushmore.
Butt blasted? Fanny flustered? Shitter shattered? Rectally ravaged? Anally annihilated? Any of that working out for you?
Wikileaks has said they have stuff on the RNC.
But nothing at all salacious. Assange said everything they have on Trump is the same stuff he says publicly.

So now Trump is an Assange puppet? But I thought he was a Russian puppet? Who's going to start WW3 with Russia?
I can't keep all the lefty conspiracy theories straight!
prison system focused on rehabilitation
Because rehabilitation doesn't really work. The vast majority (like 85%) of people who have any contact with the justice system never again have contact with the justice system.
