  1. Annnnd the liberal McCarthyites have mod points, it seems. There's just as much evidence to support Obama having a fake birth certificate as there is that the Russians had anything to do with anything last year. They've become what they hated.

    Jeff Jaffe, CEO of W3C said: "I know from my conversations that many people are not satisfied with the result. EME proponents wanted a faster decision with less drama. EME critics want a protective covenant. And there is reason to respect those who want a better result. But my personal reflection is that we took the appropriate time to have a respectful debate about a complex set of issues and provide a result that will improve the web for its users.

    Your fallacy is Middle Ground, Jaffe. Maybe after he's done driving web standards into the ground, he can go work for CNN.

    "The Democratic candidate for governor wants to push old blind ladies down the stairs, while his Republican opponent wants to push them down the stairs and then set them on fire. Why can't they compromise somewhere in the middle?!?"

    On the contrary. The w3c is making itself irrelevant by forcing issues. Their own charter [w3.org] states:

    Consensus is a core value of W3C

    Who knew the W3C was written by Debbie Wasserman Shultz? The DNC charter mandates neutrality in primary races, but they put their thumb on one side of the scale as well.

    Sigh, you don't learn, do you?

    Lulz. You are speaking to your bathroom mirror, yes?

    Once more with more partisan cowbell

    FTFY. Can you name a single McCarthyite that has named an actual law that Trump actually violated? If you can stop moving the goalposts for five seconds, the subject is rigging an election. Which Hillary indisputably did, with the DNC. As opposed to Trump, who's supposed collusion with Putin's hackers rests on bullshit so batshit crazy even Alex Jones would be distancing himself from you.

    So back to the point, if you have a problem with election rigging, skip the non-sequiturs and focus on the person who actually rigged an election, and not conspiracy theories as batshit insane as the idea Obama's parents used a time machine to plant a fake birth announcement to back up a fake birth certificate.

  5. Okay, lets go with that. The 486 was released in '89. If an iPhone-sized phone came out in 1995 that had comparable processing power, would that not have been impressive?

  8. It's hilarious that Trump, who spread that racist lie about Obama's birth place is a stone cold traitor.

    No, what's "hilarious" is that after putting up with asinine right wing bullshit from Republicans (birth certificates, Vince Foster, running heroin through Arkansas) Democrats have decided its their turn to engage in fact-free partisan buuuuuuuuuuullshit.

    That's what wingnuts said about the Clinton's, for the same brain dead partisan reasons. Before you start up with that "Ivan" shit again, you must have been one of those assholes running around in 2003, saying anyone who questioned the Iraq war of loving Saddam.

    How cute....copying and pasting the same elementary school platitude. Except, as we all learned in elementary school, these platitudes are frequently complete horseshit.

    Like right now. Hillary's collusion with the DNC to rig the primary was known loooong before the DNC or Podesta emails were leaked. Slashing 20 debates off the primary schedule, and putting up the few that were left next to football games to minimize the exposure that would be granted to the challenger. Loading up the start of the primary with conservative southern states to give her an early lead - states that all voted for Trump in the general. Whereas for Russiagate, there is no evidence and never will be, because the entire story is completely moronic on its face. Putin was smart enough to dig up dirt on Hillary (which was all true) in order to change the election, yet was dumb enough to collude with Donny Tiny Hands, which meant all the U.S. spy agencies would have known about it. Which mean Hillary would have known about it too, as the election was still her's to lose right up until she lost it.

    So, to get back to the starting point, if cheating in an election is the problem, why aren't you starting with the person who is in fact a cheater. Instead of a conspiracy theory as dumb as the one that Obama's parents stole a time machine to plant a fake birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper to back up his fake birth certificate, and pretending the two are somehow equal.

    Besides all the other plotholes in the Russiagate McCarthyism, we're supposed to believe that Putin was clever enough to dig up dirt on Hillary (which all happened to be true) to swing the election, but at the same time was so stupid as collude with someone as stupid as Trump. Which means the NSA, the CIA and the FBI would know all about said collusion. As would President Elect Hillary, as the race was still hers to lose until she decided to take the Rust Belt for granted and not campaign in that region of the country, because reasons. The same Hillary that campaigned on shooting down Russian jets in Syria.

    And as I see there's already one "go home Boris" asshole in this thread, do show how you guys have more evidence than the antivaxxers, the Birthers, the chem trailers, or the people who think the Clintons had Arkansas State Troopers running heroin for them throughout the state when he was governor. The same jackasses who accuse anyone of being on Putin's payroll because they question any of this bullshit are the same people who ran around in 2003, accusing anyone who questioned the Iraq lies of being in love with Saddam.

Some of those rejectionist hardliners are in powerful positions, and it is likely that they are doing this to sabotage relations between America and Cuba, and possibly even get rid of Raul and the Castro dynasty.

    You seem to have this weird capitalist blindspot, where you think such people couldn't go for a conventional bombing/poisoning/assassination if they wanted to do such a thing. Not use some high-tech spy weapon developed in a lab in the base of a volcano by a guy with an eyepatch.
