I believe the HP to be "left leaning" and I knew that when I posted the article but that never stops Gipper from posting material from his far right sources... However.... it doesn't seem that they are writing falsehoods and just plain making things up or I would not have used the article. Political public track records are pretty well known and mostly irrefutable. It's quite political to ignore damning evidence by dodging the subject and shifting the focus to something else.
Once again the response is "far right source." When the facts are against you trash the source. Actually Yucca Mountain only cost $17 so far and the Obama administration has been planning to store nuclear waste in Las Vegas.
Sometimes it seems as if political debates caused by differing opinions are like saying "hey.... did you see my team play so great in that one game?" .... forget what you saw the rest of the season but by God that one game tells you everything you need to know! 8) :wink:
question. What exactly was 'hacked' in the Russian hack scandal. Don't give me this 'tried to influence' ******** because the USA has tried to influence every election on this planet for the last 200 years. I want to know what, exactly, the hack was. Are they referring to the Clinton emails? Are they referring to tampered voting machines? Which is impossible, especially in those recall rust belt areas. I have yet to see it spelled out what the exact 'hack' was.
Obama was just on TV saying that there is no evidence that election results were tampered with. I notice a lot of mass hysteria from the left over Russian hacking. And Hillary tried to float that turd at her big lavish $2 million dollar bye-bye party at the Plaza Hotel last night. But they never deny the content of the leaks. Only that there were leaks. It is incredible to watch this mass hysteria, this complete meltdown of the uber rich progressive left and of those who worship at their altar. I laugh every time a Lebron James or a Madonna makes another asinine staement.
The claim is that the DNC and Podesta's emails were hacked. Their bitch is that someone aired their dirty laundry. They apparently feel that people seeing what they're really like cost them the election. I love the claim "well the RNC wasn't hacked so it had to be someone who was on the Republican side" At least 2 other possibilities 1. the RNC had much better cyber security than the DNC or 2. The hackers like the left actually bought that ******** from the media and pollsters and didn't wast their time hacking the soon to be losing side. While Clinton was Secy. of State Russia managed to gain control of 20% of the US uranium production. Seems like she doesn't mind helping them gain material for nuclear weapons. They already know she can easily be bought.
:idea: :arrow: 1. The Russians did attempt to hack the RNC, but the cyber security held up and they couldn't get in. 2. Julian Assange says that Wikileaks did NOT receive ANY hacked emails from the Russians. The leaks appear to have come from inside the Clinton camp itself...
Vrrrrooom...... https://www.thenation.com/article/this-political-theorist-predicted-the-rise-of-trumpism-his-name-was-hunter-s-thompson/ How else do you explain a billionaire's appeal to the average masses?
Well, if you're going to assume something that hasn't happened yet (that Trump is a fascist dictator type) and even though I am a fan of Hunter S Thompson, I hate to tell you this but the subject was handled in much better books a loooooooooooooooong time before Hunter took his first whack of a keystroke at the typewriter.
How do explain the appeal of a communiity organizer with average means to the wealthiest 1% of the entertainmen, businesst and media sectors? How does a guy win the Nobel Prize for Peace before he was finsihed unpacking his belongings when he moved into the WH? How do you comprehend a new President's first order of business to span the globe apologizing and bowing to foreign despots for perceived transgressions on the part of the US through history while actively stonewalling our #1 ally in the mid east? Politics makes starnge bedfellows.
And lest we forget, as always the hypocritical Obama administration keeps pointing the finger at Russia accusing them of influencing the past election. But: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/12/obama-admin-sent-taxpayer-money-oust-netanyahu/
LOL.... I'll bet there are a lot of liberal profs who are digging it out now and adding it to the curriculum to make sure the snowflakes are terrified of their coming doom... :wink:
Scott, I am sure they are, without ever seeing a fair amount of Buzz Windrip in Obama but seeing all of him in Trump. Allegedly. Dave, I have a friend who writes for HuffPo and I love my friend. He's an idiot, but he's my lovable leftist idiot friend. I am not even sure leftist covers it. He's way the hell out there. I reminded him of Obama's platform in comparison to Windrip's platform and he just wouldn't hear it. My poking the bear must have driven him to read the book because now he's quoting it left and right to me. It's all about the Minute Men and Trump's paramilitary support who will suppress the people. Blah blah blah. So the other day, he asked me 'What will America do to her first Dictator, I think we're about to find out.' My answer was, honestly, we'd kill him. This is the country that shot John Lennon and Abraham Lincoln. We have no shortage of nutballs who will stop at nothing to do that. If our new traffic cone orange President thinks he can hide behind fascism, he's got something else coming. But my question for him was, "If he doesn't turn out to be a Fascist Dictator will you a) shut the f*ck up but first b) admit you were wrong?' And his answer was predictable, he just said 'no. I will never stop opposing him.' So there you go, I think most in the far left count themselves in that camp. They will spend the next 4 to 8 years rooting for fascism in America just so they can say they were right. Do you see the flaw in this logic, Dave?
I am very practical.... I hope the hell I'm wrong about Carrot Top. If everything turns out well for Trump and he does a good job that generally would translate into good times for the rest of us. I'm always down for good times.....
The 1st year is going to be fascinating. You can bet that unlike every President before him, he's going to be up late pounding his critics on Twitter. Libs and the Media will absolutely go nuts.
