He asked the Russian's to hack his opponent, did he not? His own words convict his. The penalty for treason is death. Trumps deep financial ties to Putin will be exposed, and he is done for, and will have zero credibility as president. He CANNOT become president.<br /><br />12/11/16, 2:40 AM<br /><br />OK, wipe it off and zip up. IIRC treason requires the US to be in a state of war. The Russians are our friends. President Lightworker has said so. (Now, Obama supporting Islamofascism, THAT's treason, but I don't think AUMF counts as "war" so he should be OK.)Bad Lieutenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091901464339059169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-28707222487606196932016-12-12T15:29:27.768-06:002016-12-12T15:29:27.768-06:00Big Mike said...

While brushing my teeth for bed tonight I did think of an answer. What if, based on reading her Email traffic during her stint as Secretary of State they reached the conclusion that she was more likely to involve Russia in a nuclear war with the United States? That would not be inconsistent with her starting a war on Libya for no good reason, would it.<br /><br />12/10/16, 11:38 PM<br /><br />Remember those civil defense drills Russia was having earlier this year? The Russkis, according to my sources, were actually really concerned about Hillary starting WWIII. She was perceived really, really badly by them, which would be too bad if, in fact, nuclear war did break out. Probably none of us would like that, especially as Obama suppressed missile defense.<br /><br />Funny, once upon a time, we were eager to hear from Europeans what they thought of our candidates, and to value that in our decisions.Bad Lieutenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091901464339059169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-58730794726907963662016-12-12T07:32:23.369-06:002016-12-12T07:32:23.369-06:00Unknown said...

He's a decent guy who stands up for what he believes, makes decent points, and guards against falling prey to overreach or missteps or painting with an overly broad brush. It's what mature people do. He's a decent guy, veteran IIRC, but smart and honest enough to avoid being blind partisan fodder for internet flame wars. You could learn from him. I do. But that's the kind of respectable example that you have no time or use for. Sad.</b><br /><br />Don't get all crazy. I had pretty solid plans to tear things apart had Hillary won. I still have those plans but they are only useful against a very closeted and geographically isolated urban population. <br /><br />I gotta break this next one down. Not to be a nit but use more paragraphs.<br /><br /><b>But the problem is a lot of right-wing partisans believe that Trump represents the revival of the GOP. I think the GOP is just as dead and ineffectual - well maybe a tad less at the moment - and they are hanging on to his default win of one election for dear life while pretending that it breathed the animating force of Frankenstein back into them. I think this is a mistake. Their fortunes are now tied in lockstep with his, and there's no guarantee which direction he'll go in let alone how it will go over.</b><br /><br />The GoPe is gaining some relevance because when you staff something that has grown as massive as the executive you can't start from zero. The entire federal government needs to cut down to a size to where a new president can staff it completely in 3 months. All of that bureaucracy needs to be at the state level.<br /><br /><b>If he finds the allies he needs on the left for a progressive economic agenda and less interventionist foreign policy, I think it will invigorate the progressive left and secure his legacy. If he just parrots the sycophancy of the same GOP policies that became wildly unpopular with the country, the opposite will happen to him and the party he mutinied.</b><br /><br />Agree. We need less cronyism, less bank bailouts, fewer regulations written by the megacorps to suppress competition, and sanity brought to our immigration system.<br /><br /><b>The GOP has power in a lot of ways right now. Just not in a way that resonates with the actual public. And his skipping out on national security briefings is as frightening as anything we worried Hillary would do.</b><br /><br />The GOPe dos not resonate with the american people just as the DNC does not resonate. This is because the GOPe and DNC were/re owned by the donors. Trump's message does resonate just as Bernie's message resonated. I think he actually cares and will maintain his independence of thought for better or worse. <br /><br />Achilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109507896997459818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-41837745771385177272016-12-11T13:54:18.545-06:002016-12-11T13:54:18.545-06:00"Glenn Reynolds is a fucking amateur."

Ya’ think? <br /><br />Track record: The CIA has failed to predict ANY nation’s nuclear capability, beginning with being totally surprised by the USSR way back in 1949, and continued being surprised by the Israelis, flummoxed by the Brits, France, China, etc. – in fact EVERY single nuclear nation. <br /><br />Being wrong a few times is understandable. Being wrong EVERY damned time means some low-level CIA info-gatherers were ignored and reports and assessments were changed to fit the politically correct narrative favored at the time. <br /><br />Also, let’s not forget who brought Nixon down. Deep Throat was a disgruntled FBI higher-up who was passed over by Nixon.<br /><br />My point is that US intelligence and law enforcement agencies are not immune from political hackwork. <br /><br />So … I am suspicious when I read in the NYT this bullshit:<br /><br /><i> American intelligence agencies have concluded with “high confidence” that Russia acted covertly in the latter stages of the presidential campaign to harm Hillary Clinton’s chances and promote Donald J. Trump, according to senior administration officials.</i><br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/h2bem5w<br /><br />Wow. The CIA has been able to conclude something about a hack which is very, very difficult to figure out, especially if some time has passed after the hack before it is discovered and the hacker is good – which is: WHO did the hack? <br /><br />If the hacker is good it is difficult if not impossible to pinpoint where the hack originated or who originated it. Keep in mind that the fucking CIA knows about the hack AT ALL is only because the hack was published on Wikileaks. Before that the “American intelligence agencies” didn’t know shit.<br /><br />And oh yeah, the CIA has also been able to read the mind of the hacker and determine the motivation(to harm Hillary and help Trump) of this Russian hacker who they had not a clue about until the hack hit the front pages. <br /><br />This is fake news. <br /><br />gracklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138997480493469444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-38480995308158091062016-12-11T12:00:37.398-06:002016-12-11T12:00:37.398-06:00Fen is delusional.
