    You know it, friend. That's what happened to Austin, it was destroyed by second-rate rejects from San Francisco and Portland. Poor city. It used to be cool.

    " . . . he said to me, 'where are you from?' and I said 'New York'...'ahh New York, it's a very interesting place... do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about wanting to leave but never do?' and I said yes, and he said 'why do you think they don't leave?' I gave him a few banal theories, and he said 'I don't think it's that way at all... I think that New York is a new model for the new concentration camp, where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates ARE the guards, and they have this pride in this thing they built, they built their own prison, so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are the both guards and prisoners, and as a result they no longer have, having been lobotomized, the capacity to leave the prison they made or to even see it as a prison.' . . .

    Those aren't real ads. After running the ad and concluding that no candidates came forward, the company is free to hire an H1B to displace an American worker. They don't actually expect anyone to answer the ad, it's just in fulfillment of a legal requirement.

    I didn't see it before. If it's relevant, then it needs to be part of the lore of the community. Rust going around policing its users with an SJW code of conduct is pretty exceptional for a programming language.

    That would never happen, it would deprive our journalist class of their power to define what should be paid attention to. We saw citizen journalism explode in 2016 and Google/Facebook/Twitter spent all of 2017 smacking it down and putting it on page 146 of the search results.

    The Democratic National Committee paid a law firm who paid Fusion GPS who paid a foreign spy who paid Russians for a dossier used by FBI for FISA warrant to wiretap Trump.

    Federal officials conspired to spy on a rival political campaign using information they had not verified from people they knew were untrustworthy. And these officials deliberately and repeatedly defrauded the judiciary by withholding key information.

    The most messed up part is that the Congressional committee is in charge of oversight of these intelligence agencies, not the other way around. For Rosenstein to threaten the committee because they're doing their job of oversight is stunning. These agencies have gone rogue and seem to feel they are unaccountable to anyone.

    The memo shows FBI used a partisan campaign document to get a warrant to spy on a rival campaign. And shows the FBI omitted crucial information from a FISA court. No spin can change those basic facts.

    It's official, Memo states FISA warrant could have not been obtained without Steele Dossier. The memo asserts that former FBI official Andrew McCabe stated in closed-door testimony that without the anti-Trump dossier, the FBI would not have been able to secure surveillance warrants.

    Can you in your wildest dreams imagine if the GOP had done that to Mrs. Clinton? Can you imagine the blood in the eyes of the media pooh-bahs if they found the GOP doing exactly what HRC and the media did?

    Fusion GPS was contacted by a GOP member for Opp research. The Steele Dossier was separate. The media / DNC are pushing that narrative, but itâ(TM)s flat out wrong. The GOP didnâ(TM)t ask for the Steele Dossier, they asked for separate Opposition Research. The DNC / HRC campaign started the Steele Dossier.

    We know now without a shadow of a doubt that the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, paid Fusion GPS and Steele to acquire this dossier, which required colluding with Russian operatives and Russian nationals. They used the information from this dossier to justify surveillance on Trump and his associates.

    Clinton Colluded With Russia To Smear Trump During Election Video by a leftist, no friend of Trump. The piss dossier came from the DNC funding a British ex-spy to go to Russia and get information on a political rival from the Russian government. They're getting negative research from the Russian government to smear a political opponent and throw an election inside the United States. That's literally what happened. Collusion between the Democrats and Russia. The very thing they accuse Donald Trump and the Republicans of doing with Russia we now know the Democrats and Hillary Clinton did.

    The US Congress is full of fascists. Modded up to +4. What is wrong with people? This is just an emotional rant. Dictatorship, LOL. If we didn't have a democracy then Trump would have never been allowed anywhere near the Republican nomination, much less the actual presidency. Look at the Democrats, they had a challenge from an outsider too, and they dealt with it the correct way - rigging the vote. Anti-democracy, but it worked and the right candidate won.

    Bill Kristol, the prominent Republican analyst who founded The Weekly Standard, wrote on Twitter, "Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic and constitutional politics. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state."

    The deep state, although there's no precise or scientific definition, generally refers to the agencies in Washington that are permanent power factions. They stay and exercise power even as presidents who are elected come and go. They typically exercise their power in secret, in the dark, and so they're barely subject to democratic accountability, if they're subject to it at all. It's agencies like the CIA, the NSA and the other intelligence agencies, that are essentially designed to disseminate disinformation and deceit and propaganda, and have a long history of doing not only that, but also have a long history of the world's worst war crimes, atrocities and death squads. This is who not just people like Bill Kristol, but lots of Democrats are placing their faith in, are trying to empower, are cheering for as they exert power separate and apart from-in fact, in opposition to-the political officials to whom they're supposed to be subordinate.
