You see that is generally how fact checking works, it isn't purely an opinion, it is an opinion based on cited sources.
Except that when a west-cost employee of a large Silicone Valley company, where the corporate culture is actively very left-leaning in its politics and where employees who question the bubble-like ideological echo chamber are fired, is in charge of scoring your social media post as Fake News, and YOU DON'T KNOW WHY, it's not based on cited sources. But you're just as disappeared, while those supporting the opposite position are rewarded with more visibility. We're not talking about fact checking, we're talking about supporting an editorial position in favor of certain politics, and doing so according to rules supported by company bosses who wear their left-leaning politics on their sleeves. You know this, we all know this. SJW cubicle dwellers are going to be deciding what is, and what is not fake-enough news to qualify as deserving a ban.
It's every bit a crime, if for no other reason than demonstrable intent. You're exactly the troll I was expecting, here. If there was a "flaw" in the point of sale area at a walk-up Lowes location, which manifested itself as a particular cashier always forgetting to look on the bottom shelf of your shopping cart... and you realized that and specifically went there to exploit that weakness so they could rip off a bunch stuff to sell... you'd be a thief. For the same reason they are thieves. So, this isn't you playing dumb. What is it? What's your agenda, trying to wish away the obvious, here?
Even TFS tells you the details. They found and continued to exploit a security vulnerability on the Lowes web site, and were busily shipping tens of thousands of dollars of stolen goods to themselves and trying to fence it. You know, crime.
I clicked to read more so I could see how many people would be saying that it's not really theft if Lowes didn't prevent it from happening. You know, like if a shoplifter walks out of their store with a $20 impact socket in their pocket, and Lowes didn't notice him doing that, then it's totally Lowes' fault that he stole that.
This. And of course, the copypasta Clinton shill, here, is also carefully ignoring the Clinton campaign's work with the government of Ukraine explicitly to try to find dirt on anyone even loosely tied to Trump, or the Clinton family pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the immediate wake of Clinton's State Department granting Putin a huge favor in the nuclear energy sector. The hypocrisy on the left, as usual, is quite spectacular. The Clintons have spent years in the thick of international involvement in US politics and enriching themselves and their political operations with foreign cash and favors.
Those running down a list of entirely legal interactions on the part of a few players in the Trump universe, while dutifully ignoring actually insidious stuff on the part of their Queen In Exile, are showing what they're really all about: they're mad that their party has lost nearly a thousand legislative seats, both houses of congress, most of the governorships, the White House, the Supreme Court, and the good will of millions of two-time Obama voters disgusted with Clinton and the DNC. Since the liberals are furious that they've been steadily losing political power for the past eight years, and have essentially no coherent, compelling case to make for why their world view should make people tired of them suddenly love them, they've embraced full-on unhinged fabrication and fake news as their party's central organizing principle.
Her "company" is the federal government, which operates offices like hers because that's where the people it serves are concentrated. Do you really think that having a couple of large employers uproot from SV and move to, say, Omaha, would make the need for a federal bureaucratic presence in SV go away?
You won't get Antifa throwing bricks through people's windows because of who they are - that's the territory of Nazis.
What? The whole violent antifa fashion is to hate people and exhaustively plan and carry out violence against them because of who they are. People who don't think like them, who are from a different culture - smash their property, beat them bloody on campus, and otherwise carry on exactly like the fascist brown shirts they treat as their historical inspiration and mentors. The left's pet enforcers, the antifa thugs, are the current incarnation of exactly the thing they childishly pretend they're against. They're not against fascism, they champion it. They WANT it. They love the idea of thought-punishing, force-using, authoritarian control over other people. It's what they live for. They couldn't have been happier than to have had one of their ideological soul mates pick up a rifle and start hunting congress members because of who they are. Quit pretending you don't understand this.
So let me get this straight... asking you to at least acknowledge the brown shirt destroyers, beaters, and killers in your own ranks so that your shrill, hyperbolic attempts to paint everyone who didn't vote Clinton as Nazis... makes me a Nazi? So far, all I'm seeing is you trying really hard to avoid admitting that it's the left that is by far the most hateful, vitriolic, and violent - and that it's the wide swath of liberals across academia, the media, and in the Democrat establishment that tacitly approve of the planned and executed assaults and destruction flowing regularly out of the wannabe totalitarian progressive circles that actually do the most threatening, harming, and murdering. Your attempt to describe everyone who decided not to provide support and votes for your violent ideology as "Nazis" is hilarious. The group that most commonly acts out in perfect mimicry of history's fascist thugs are the ones you cheer on. You LOVE watching them show up at rallies wearing black clothes, masks, helmets, and carrying clubs - because there's nothing the least bit peace-minded or tolerant or anti-hate to be found in the ranks of the liberal enforcers that crow about their destructive and murderous exploits.
The handful of idiotic racists standing around in their bathrobes chanting stupid racist crap represent a tiny fraction of a percent of society, and are best ignored and starved of the social oxygen they want. Your personal pet violence crews on the other hand, the types that actually bash people's skulls for not obeying college groupthink or other unforgivable sins against far left ideology - they not only are at least as common in numbers, but they march in the street calling for the murder of cops (and aren't the least bit upset when one of their members actually kills five cops there to protect your fools from themselves), and get no criticism from people like you. Why? Because you LIKE them that way. You won't even admit they exist, because that would require you to reconcile your phony outrage at other people with your hypocrisy about a far larger and more threatening source of actual, repeated violence coming from your own camp and endorsed, applauded, and financed by mainstream liberal groups. There's one actual fascist in this conversation, and it's you. The more you try to pretend your pet hate-soldiers don't exist, even as we can all watch them running whole web sites where they plan violence and then actually show up and destroy things and seek out people they attempt to kill for their thoughts, the more laughable you are. Or would be, if your sort of poison wasn't the real, large-scale problem here.
And there you go! No sign of any awareness of months and months of lefty violence and destruction, including interrupted plans to use chemical weapons, and routine calls for the deaths of the people they hate. And of course you're not at all worried about one of the left's violent little pets ranting online about needing to "take down" the people that he's so furious won legislative elections over his preferred liberals, and... off he goes to hunt and kill Republican congress members, only failing to kill a bunch of them because he was a bad shot. I like how you're wishing away the violent rhetoric from the left, the actual masked fascists the left sends out to destroy people's events and businesses, and the murderers they cheer on in the interests of actually killing political opponents. Thanks for exactly, perfectly making my point for me.
The difference is that the vast majority of the people who refused to award the Clintons with the power they demanded (including millions of people who voted twice for Obama) are quick and happy to register their disgust with that tiny number of idiots that make up the neo-Nazi types. But the people who desperately wanted to make Hillary's coronation happen won't even talk out loud about the violent thugs that spend months organizing to smash and burn things on their behalf.
No, by "antifa" you mean, "People who deliberately plan and carry out violence and destruction to intimidate and silence those who don't share the ideological groupthink of their masters and defenders on the left." And, "People who are applauded in campus newspaper editorials for beating other people bloody and unconscious for wanting to attend an event featuring a speaker that isn't slavishly obeying every SJW edict and requirement."
Only disingenuous liberal tools consider anyone who isn't a violent antifa thug or their cheering section to be a Nazi. The antifa thugs are the very embodiment of classical Fascist brown shirt enforcement, and they know it. The left LIKES it. Just like they still think they're being cool by wearing their Che t-shirts, since even though he was a mass murderer, he was their mass murderer.
The fact that you believe this drivel is astounding.
Why is it amazing? It was a perfectly accurate observation. That you're trying to wish away the reality of the situation, and were either blind to the lefty/media nonsense we've been suffering since long before the November election, or know you're lying but are hoping everyone else is too dumb to notice... tells us all we need to know about your understanding and agenda.
Yes, is IS exposing things. The political left has come completely unhinged, shrieking for months about completely fictional things (Hillary lost because Trump worked with the Russians, not because she was an awful, corrupt, serially lying candidate who didn't even VISIT places like Wisconsin while campaigning, though she still blames Trump and Russia for that - hilarious), and displaying a parade of incredible hypocrisy at every turn. The left's childish tantrums in such areas is grandly on display because of who they're railing against. One doesn't have to be an actual Trump supporter to be very glad the liberals weren't rewarded with the Clintons being handed, again, the power they so crave.
So sure: he's confronting issues. He confronted Clinton's casual assertion that she wanted to use the Supreme Court as a surrogate legislature to make up for the fact that her party has lost nearly a thousand legislative seats, most of the state governorships, and both houses of congress. Trump named a rational, strict constitutionalist to the court, confronting that peril with perhaps the most important thing he could or will do.
He's already swung a big, sharp ax at the insanity of counterproductive, redundant, stupidly expensive federal regulations. That confrontation alone was worth his annoying personality. But it's nice that he's also confronting illegal immigration - which has dropped enormously just because of the change in enforcement priorities since he took office. There are things he can't gracefully confront in short order. Like, say, those charming black-masked "antifa" thugs who like to smash and burn things and beat people bloody in order to muzzle impure, insufficiently lefty thought and speech. He confronts it, but of course the lefty media immediately calls anyone who condemns planned, organized lefty violence a racist.
Female engineers, could you please revisit this topic on Slashdot, yet again, to generate a big spike in ad traffic? In a week, we'll ask male engineers to say what they thought about what the female engineers thought. Because this definitely hasn't been discussed yet, and female engineers certainly wouldn't have participated earlier, not until they were asked to.
Who, that guy who condemned Nazis and white nationalists? Yeah, he is such a Nazi. You can always tell the Nazis because of how they condemn Nazis - dead giveaway!
Pretty sure no liberals have actually committed genocide
To the extent that "liberal" is now being taken over by the statist, collectivist, centralized power instincts of the far left, then... yeah. Liberals have killed untold tens of millions of people in the name of economic justice, social equality, and controlling impure thoughts. Leftist sensibilities nearly destroyed eastern Europe, slaughtered intellectuals across Asia, and are currently starving people into walking out of Venezuela into neighboring countries where they hope to find something to eat besides liberal aspirations for a strong, but it's-for-your-own-good nanny state.
All you have are accusations from the DNC, of course!
And an odd refusal on the DNC's part to allow the FBI to ever even touch the infrastructure in question. The only people who've had their hands on the server from which the information was copied were hired (and reliably partisan) consultants who scrubbed for malware and insist it must have been a hack. The people clinging to "Trump and the Russians hacked the DNC!" have reached the laughably delusional stage of this. Well, it would be laughable if the consequences of this phony narrative - as it relates to wasted hours and tax dollars when there are real things to work on - weren't actually a serious matter. All of this is meant to distract from why the Democrats have been steadily losing political power for years now - and confronting that head on is so uncomfortable for that establishment that they actually are more comfortable being demonstrably unhinged, in public, at a completely delusional level. It would be fascinating if it weren't so ugly.
So what you're saying is that, so you can sound ranty and outraged, you're deliberately going to pretend you don't have the reading comprehension to actually follow up on this and understand the amount of time elapsed during the transfer of the data.
Not that you probably need reminding, but your completely phony outrage - all meant to distract from why the Democrats have actually lost nearly a thousand legislative seats, most of the governorships, both houses of congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, and a couple million two-time Obama voters who turned their backs in disgust on disingenuous, smug liars just like you (the ones running the DNC and the Clinton campaign) - is exactly what caused the most recent several Democrat-power-destroying elections, and which will once again surprise the gosh-we're-so-shocked liberal media pollsters when 2018 doesn't go the way they demand that it does. All because people see right through nonsense like yours, and see it for what it is. Please, do carry on.
Clinton-loving people throughout the federal law enforcement and intelligence communities have been leaking information the absurdly trivial to the treacherously expository on classified information have been spewing anything they come across with impunity and with breathless, drooling encouragement from outlets like the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, etc. Are you saying that despite all of that, the fact that exactly ZERO evidence of "Trump is so clearly connected to Putin" is... a sudden display of incredible discipline in the ranks of the same leakers who gleefully spill on the existence of grand juries, the verbatim transcripts of six month old phone calls, and the like? Hilarious.
Yes, it does change everything. Because the entire fictional liberal delusion that Trump was "working with the Russians" was based on the deliberately mis-represented circumstances surrounding the DNC leak, which was in-house. Or, are you saying the Russians were working inside the DNC? You know, Russians right there, colluding with Hillary? Sounds absurd, doesn't it. But that's the level of absurd you want everyone else to believe so you can stop asking yourself why Clinton and the Democrats have been losing political power for years, culminating in even more losses in November.
As for your quote... again, so? Please explain, in detail, how a meeting with a Russian lawyer that lasted for minutes before anyone related to the campaign walked about because she was rambling about international adoption law... somehow resulted in you having your mind controlled and voting for Trump. Please! Details. What did it feel like when you were brainwashed? Were all of the other millions of people who were forced to read about the DNC's cheating on Sanders and tipping off Hillary on debate info slipped to her by CNN... did they all feel the same way as they were magically compelled not to vote for the person all the pollsters said was going to win in a landslide? What happened during that lawyer's discussion about adoption law, before everyone walked out, that actually impacted millions of people? Can't wait for your specifics. Thanks!
Well on the Russian side, they hacked the DNC servers and found information that they then provided to the Trump campaign and released on WikiLeaks.
Actually, no. Whoever stole that information from the DNC's mail server(s) provided that information to EVERYBODY. But it was an inside job, not a "Russian hack." Here you go, have a nice thorough write-up about the details, provided to you by a very liberal outlet and author both of whom hate Trump, but who are increasingly embarrassed by people like you who have taken the bait from the left-leaning media and their DNC handlers. The DNC hasn't even allowed the the FBI to look at those servers. Gee, I wonder why? Assuming you've got the attention span for it, do yourself some homework:
I see. So, during the "collusion" you're describing, what happened, exactly? Please describe the events of the 20-minute meeting, and what was achieved in terms of the Trump campaign working with the Russians, and what actions both parties then took during their collusion efforts. You obviously have information that nobody else does, so this is going to be big news! Can't wait for you to explain to everybody. Please, do go on with your specific details and the impact of those actions on the minds of voters in places like, say, Wisconsin, where Hillary Clinton never even set foot to campaign... because of that meeting with the lawyer, no doubt, right?
Oh so by "phony" you mean the true narrative about the Russians that's been confirmed by all the intelligence agencies?
You mean, the one where the Russians kept doing the same thing in 2016 that they've been doing for decades? That one? What does that have to do with the pure fiction about the Trump campaign colluding with them as they somehow controlled the minds of Hillary Clinton and DNC officials into doing the things that made people not vote for her, or for all of the legislators and governors that the Democrats lost?
And the true stories about how the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians?
Oh, sorry. I didn't realize this was the "make stuff up" thread. It is fun to see you throwing that sort of thing around with exactly zero attribution, of course. Hilarious! Even top Democrats have stopped trying to pull that one, because it's become embarrassingly obvious that there's a complete lack of anything there, and always has been. But please, do carry on. The juvenile story telling is great - it's exactly the sort of histrionics and BS that cost the Dems so many millions of two-time Obama voters in the first place. Please - do more! Just keep repeating your un-cited fiction - the rest of the voters will do, again, what they did last time. Turn their backs on that nonsense, as they should.
No, the "phony" in the "phony Russian stuff" is a reference to the phony narrative being continually pimped by CNN and MSNBC and the NYT about how the Trump Campaign was working with the Russians to run some massive, secret operation that filled the media with false stories. Which is hilarious, considering the bulk of the media spent the entire pre-election period working FOR Clinton, rather than against her.
Ah, I see you've never actually owned a business or been smart enough to understand that your paycheck (assuming you earn one, and aren't living off of other people's taxed income) is actually tied to the prosperity of business ventures that - in order to prosper - have to compete. Competition includes, among other things, communicating to prospective customers about why your product or service might be more attractive than the next one. I presume you think that a someone running a brand new start-up that's never had a single customer should be "executed on the spot" for trying to tell you about what they're offering. Idiot.
Because he was voted in by people who are too dumb to see through deceptive ads, you mean?
Or, because millions of people who voted twice for Obama got tired of the Democrats', DNC's, and Clinton Campaign's deceptive behavior (ads and much), and turned their backs on them and their extremely poor choice of a serially lying, corrupt candidate. Doesn't matter what you think of Trump. Ads on FB didn't cause Hillary to somehow forget to even set foot in Wisconsin, a state she took for granted as supporting her coronation despite labeling a sizable portion of its residents irredeemably deplorable people. And it's not just about Clinton. It's just part of the pattern that saw the D's lose nearly a thousand legislative seats, most of the governorships, and both houses of congress, too. All of the phony Russia stuff and blaming FB ads (as if the only phony crap seen there was aimed at only one end of the spectrum - please!) is just a lazy way to avoid confronting the real reasons why the Democrats have lost so much traction over the last eight years.

All because people see right through nonsense like yours, and see it for what it is. Please, do carry on.
Clinton-loving people throughout the federal law enforcement and intelligence communities have been leaking information the absurdly trivial to the treacherously expository on classified information have been spewing anything they come across with impunity and with breathless, drooling encouragement from outlets like the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, etc. Are you saying that despite all of that, the fact that exactly ZERO evidence of "Trump is so clearly connected to Putin" is
Yes, it does change everything. Because the entire fictional liberal delusion that Trump was "working with the Russians" was based on the deliberately mis-represented circumstances surrounding the DNC leak, which was in-house. Or, are you saying the Russians were working inside the DNC? You know, Russians right there, colluding with Hillary? Sounds absurd, doesn't it. But that's the level of absurd you want everyone else to believe so you can stop asking yourself why Clinton and the Democrats have been losing political power for years, culminating in even more losses in November.
... again, so? Please explain, in detail, how a meeting with a Russian lawyer that lasted for minutes before anyone related to the campaign walked about because she was rambling about international adoption law ... somehow resulted in you having your mind controlled and voting for Trump. Please! Details. What did it feel like when you were brainwashed? Were all of the other millions of people who were forced to read about the DNC's cheating on Sanders and tipping off Hillary on debate info slipped to her by CNN ... did they all feel the same way as they were magically compelled not to vote for the person all the pollsters said was going to win in a landslide? What happened during that lawyer's discussion about adoption law, before everyone walked out, that actually impacted millions of people? Can't wait for your specifics. Thanks!
As for your quote
Well on the Russian side, they hacked the DNC servers and found information that they then provided to the Trump campaign and released on WikiLeaks.
Actually, no. Whoever stole that information from the DNC's mail server(s) provided that information to EVERYBODY. But it was an inside job, not a "Russian hack." Here you go, have a nice thorough write-up about the details, provided to you by a very liberal outlet and author both of whom hate Trump, but who are increasingly embarrassed by people like you who have taken the bait from the left-leaning media and their DNC handlers. The DNC hasn't even allowed the the FBI to look at those servers. Gee, I wonder why? Assuming you've got the attention span for it, do yourself some homework:

I see. So, during the "collusion" you're describing, what happened, exactly? Please describe the events of the 20-minute meeting, and what was achieved in terms of the Trump campaign working with the Russians, and what actions both parties then took during their collusion efforts. You obviously have information that nobody else does, so this is going to be big news! Can't wait for you to explain to everybody. Please, do go on with your specific details and the impact of those actions on the minds of voters in places like, say, Wisconsin, where Hillary Clinton never even set foot to campaign ... because of that meeting with the lawyer, no doubt, right?
Oh so by "phony" you mean the true narrative about the Russians that's been confirmed by all the intelligence agencies?
You mean, the one where the Russians kept doing the same thing in 2016 that they've been doing for decades? That one? What does that have to do with the pure fiction about the Trump campaign colluding with them as they somehow controlled the minds of Hillary Clinton and DNC officials into doing the things that made people not vote for her, or for all of the legislators and governors that the Democrats lost?
And the true stories about how the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians?
Oh, sorry. I didn't realize this was the "make stuff up" thread. It is fun to see you throwing that sort of thing around with exactly zero attribution, of course. Hilarious! Even top Democrats have stopped trying to pull that one, because it's become embarrassingly obvious that there's a complete lack of anything there, and always has been. But please, do carry on. The juvenile story telling is great - it's exactly the sort of histrionics and BS that cost the Dems so many millions of two-time Obama voters in the first place. Please - do more! Just keep repeating your un-cited fiction - the rest of the voters will do, again, what they did last time. Turn their backs on that nonsense, as they should.
No, the "phony" in the "phony Russian stuff" is a reference to the phony narrative being continually pimped by CNN and MSNBC and the NYT about how the Trump Campaign was working with the Russians to run some massive, secret operation that filled the media with false stories. Which is hilarious, considering the bulk of the media spent the entire pre-election period working FOR Clinton, rather than against her.
Ah, I see you've never actually owned a business or been smart enough to understand that your paycheck (assuming you earn one, and aren't living off of other people's taxed income) is actually tied to the prosperity of business ventures that - in order to prosper - have to compete. Competition includes, among other things, communicating to prospective customers about why your product or service might be more attractive than the next one. I presume you think that a someone running a brand new start-up that's never had a single customer should be "executed on the spot" for trying to tell you about what they're offering. Idiot.
Because he was voted in by people who are too dumb to see through deceptive ads, you mean?
Or, because millions of people who voted twice for Obama got tired of the Democrats', DNC's, and Clinton Campaign's deceptive behavior (ads and much), and turned their backs on them and their extremely poor choice of a serially lying, corrupt candidate. Doesn't matter what you think of Trump. Ads on FB didn't cause Hillary to somehow forget to even set foot in Wisconsin, a state she took for granted as supporting her coronation despite labeling a sizable portion of its residents irredeemably deplorable people. And it's not just about Clinton. It's just part of the pattern that saw the D's lose nearly a thousand legislative seats, most of the governorships, and both houses of congress, too. All of the phony Russia stuff and blaming FB ads (as if the only phony crap seen there was aimed at only one end of the spectrum - please!) is just a lazy way to avoid confronting the real reasons why the Democrats have lost so much traction over the last eight years.
