    When you deride Hillary Clinton the image is always the same: totally corrupt and inept. The situation in Syria, the uranium deals, the Foundation controversy, her deplorable blunders during the campaign. These all paint a consistent picture that was so prominent it prevented her from winning. Trump meanwhile? One day he's an oblivious buffoon, the next he's a megalomaniac, then he's conniving enough to adjust policy to benefit himself, then he's a moron again...

    It's tiresome. The left can't beat this guy because there's too many chefs spoiling the broth, and none of them can cook to begin with.
    who cares, go start a separate thread about it. /begonethot

    Where's the conviction then, Atticus? Are you going to be reciting this same narrative in another six months too, when your arch-nemesis is still running the country?

    Hell, even a conviction wouldn't get rid of him. Bill Clinton, a man factually found to have committed a crime, was allowed to continue as president until he was supposed to go.

    Feel free to post what you claim is them targeting Russia. I am sure Russia gave them something benign, so Wikileaks doesn’t seem like pro-Russia, just like they asked Trump.

    Bullshit! You are, again, not presenting the correct representation... because you already did that and it has been routinely outlined why you are wrong. Now, you don’t even bother? Nice!

    While the surveillance of communication traffic is a global phenomena, the legal and technological framework of its operation is different for each country. Russia's laws - especially the new Yarovaya Law - make literally no distinction between Lawful Interception and mass surveillance by state intelligence authorities (SIAs) without court orders. Russian communication providers are required by Russian law to install the so-called SORM ( Система Оперативно-Розыскных Мероприятий) components for surveillance provided by the FSB at their own expense. The SORM infrastructure is developed and deployed in Russia with close cooperation between the FSB, the Interior Ministry of Russia and Russian surveillance contractors.
    It's actually really interesting.

    Look at the thread title... your argument is off topic. That’s why he is telling you to start a thread on it. Otherwise, it’s nothing, but being beholden to Trump to create a distraction. You care about it enough to bitch, then do it so it can be a discussion, not going off topic to protect Trump.

    Uh, what? His poor image is VERY consistent among literally anyone that isn't a Trump supporter. Also, I have no idea why you alt-righters have a nasty habit of using whataboutisms to keep deflecting to Hillary. Even if she's convicted of anything, who gives a shit? She's not the president, so you guys can continue on your hopeless tirade to prosecute her all you want.

    You, like many on your side, seem to have a big misconception that the whole anti-Trump movement is cheering for literally anybody on our team in a game of political football. However, most of us want justice no matter who commits the crime. It just so happens that one of the biggest criminals is currently sitting behind the resolute desk.

    But that's not even remotely true! https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/t...s-65ecd7c2468f

    Because the atlantic article is a cesspool of malpractice, I don't see why I should take it at face value, so I've decided to take a look for myself directly at the communications.

    I've been following Wikileaks closely for years now. This is a common practice for a journalistic investigation, even more so when it's related to leaks.

    Yes, just like it was in 1995... This isn’t something new and fits exactly what I said and what Wikileaks asked Trump to do. How is this, something they list as being from 1995, starting before Putin, any different than what Wikileaks asked Trump to provide, to not seem pro-Russia?

    This picture remains relevant and I have a feeling it will remain relevant for the next 5+ years.

    I'll take this ad-hominem as a sign that your whataboutism has crumbled and you can't put up any actual rational argument. Thanks for playing!

    I'm waiting for you to provide even a single source to support your argument. I've posted more than five in this thread alone.

    Could it be your non-arguments are based entirely on opinion rather than evidence?

    Why not address everything else? Why are you whining, instead of presenting a case for why he is wrong?
