    It might be "used by hackers" but that doesn't make it hacking per se. Otherwise you muddy the terms. Phishing is exploiting human weakness. Hacking is exposing computer weakness.

    It's probably a totally lost cause to get people to use the words in a meaningful way, but for those who don't subscribe to the Humpty Dumpty theory of semantics, it's important to use words correctly.

    Yeah, I love doing that kind of thing.

    I also convince the telemarketers that I'm putting them on hold and never come back. For example, the computer repair scam? Try -

    "Oh, I'm so glad you called! I have a HUGE virus problem and my computer is REALLY slow. Yeah, I'll turn my computer on for you. Just wait a few minutes, it can take 15 minutes to boot up with all those viruses. Do you mind if I put you on hold while we wait for it to finish? I'll be right back...."

    Now put them on hold or mute and wait for them to hang up.

    This part is funny, because Google puts a giant flag on messages that claim to be from Google saying "THIS IS NOT FROM GOOGLE DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFO" or something like that. I probably have a dozen phishing scams in the trash at any given time.

    See that FEC.GOV in the URL? Can you tell me who runs this site? Yeah, it's the FEC, who you said I "don't have anything from" just now.

    That data shows this lady being on the MoveOn.org payroll. You know, the person who faked all that crap at the Trump protests (which is *on video*)? And who bragged about creating violence at the rallies? But that's "nothing" right? Just because a completely independent video shows her acting and blocking the rally with a rented Lexus, creating violence, etc. Normal people would call that "corroborating evidence" of whose payroll she's on.

    By all means tell me how the FEC isn't the FEC, how this woman wasn't paid by the people the FEC says she was paid by, or how she's not clearly the same person in the videos. Go look at the FEC data and see who she works for. I'm not asking you to take my word for anything, just to look at the facts in front of your eyes.

    Democrat Operatives Caused Violence at Trump Rallies, Framed Sanders Supporters

    A new video has come out detailing how Democratic operatives created violence at Trump rallies. You may remember that they then framed Sanders supporters for those protests. This video is notable because one of the operatives, Zulema Rodriguez, can be identified in videos of the Arizona protests at 17:35 in this independent video as well as at 10:30 in the first video link. Furthermore, you look at the FEC records of disbursements to her and see that she was paid by MoveOn.org. Finally, this again can be corroborated with the Wikileaks dump, specifically this email. For those too lazy to browse all the links, you can see Zulema's appearance in both videos in this image and note that it's the same person down to the tiny mole on her chest.
