It doesn't matter, the point is that everybody including Trump knew that Russia was behind the hacks at that time and now some of us are pretending that was never the case. I personally don't care about the hacks, but at the same time I don't appreciate the pretend forgetfulness.
Ok, except Trump himself at one point publicly asked Russia to hack Hillary emails. So at one point Trump believed that Russia was behind the hacks, and I think many Trump supporters did too. Don't pretend that that never happened, own up to it instead. Your position should be: Yeah Russia hacked some emails, so what? I think that's a good honest position and harder to argue with.
A nationalist (of any skin color) simply wants government to put the interests of his nation first
White nationalist doesn't mean a nationalist who happens to be white and I think you know that. It means they are promoting a white nation, which historically has meant KKK-style antics. Black nationalism is different because, as a minority, they had to separate. There was never a black KKK that went around lynching white people.
I prefer to be optimistic, there's a bright side to everything. In this case, for example, think of the positive impact on the climate from all these people dying of cold and starvation.
I imagine Trump himself believes there's "some truth to it", if he didn't he could end it with a single tweet. Because why would he not want to do that?
We're talking about different things. I'm talking about the Russian effort to spread fake news stories that fed into already existing bizarre conservative conspiracy theories.
Real news gets it wrong sometimes. Everybody makes mistakes. That's what retractions are for. Fake news gets it wrong intentionally and that's what makes it dangerous.
Hmm, what exactly about that bothers you? That gay people are supporting your kids while you as a breeder are doing anything but? I guess I can see that.
Does a bakery, as a private company, have the right to say "No cakes that we don't like"?
If you're so anti-abortion, you should be giving gays free cakes.
Does a family-owned store, as a privately held corporation, have the right to say "We won't pay for medical services that we believe are morally equivalent to murder"?
Those childless gay couples are picking up the tab for your brood. They're paying for the schools while you get your taxes subsidized for each little rat you and the missus pump out.

Trump Tower though. It sounds like a super-villain's lair.
Who uses the word "illegitimate" to describe a phishing email?
When you're talking to non-techies you do, if you said phishing email to Podesta he would start looking for his tackle box.
Right, because of the poverty-crime connection. not because of idealogy. You really don't see the difference?
Hmm, the way I remember it, Hillary was against TPP too. In fact, I don't see much difference between the two of them anymore.
He agreed to sign it if they renamed it the Trump Pacific Partnership

The first amendment only applies to congress and state legislation, you dummy.

Under Obama care faceless bureaucrats will decide who lives and who lives and who dies.
Who decides who lives and dies under Trump care? Maybe it can be a reality show.

People who actually believe it are in the minority
Sure, but how about Conservative Facebook users who believe it? Are they in the minority?
My mouse doesn't feel right on Linux, I would switch if it weren't for that.

You're trying to compare whistleblowers like Snowden or Manning to the fake news effort. It doesn't work.
What part of "clear and present danger" don't you understand?
Shouting "Fire" in a theater is peanuts compared to Russia manipulating US elections.
You're wrong about that. People are dumb and they believe anything they see on Facebook. So get it off Facebook and problem solved.
If it happens once it's a mistake. If he makes a habit of it then it's fake.

I remember that Rolling Stone story, it wasn't fake news but it was bad journalism.
Please tell me you didn't just predict Trump still being in office in 2036.
nice job, frenchies. smart. real smart.
The US has thrown people in Gitmo for nothing more than wearing a Casio watch.
