And she embeds Ben Norton, whose Wikipedia says: “At The Intercept, where he has contributed, Ben Norton published a report with journalist Glenn Greenwald criticizing PropOrNot, a group of anonymous people with no publicly disclosed credentials who compiled a blacklist of news outlets which purportedly spread…
What I don’t get is that Katherine Krueger quotes Hillary writing “the Russians are coming” and then is all, “AHA! It turns out that this is a pre-existing phrase!!” and... no shit? Maybe it’s my age, but yes, I’ve heard the phrase before, it was a common Cold War thing used semi-sardonically. What a tossed off…
These posts remind me of visiting Gawker and Jez in say...September 2016.
“BREAKING NEWS: Hillary Clinton existed today and that pissed me all the way off.”
Well, attempts at Grandma Humor or no, she ain’t wrong. And yes, Trump is not doing anything about the issue at hand— thus the Admiral’s extremely visible & audible concern. Trump is doing what Manafort sold him for: don’t punish Russia, don’t add any sanctions, don’t improve your cybersecurity, don’t do anything to…
I was just thinking. It should certainly be within the expertise of someone at say...Gizmodo, to write a story with a headline like this:
It is getting to be very Bizarro World up in here sometimes. Liiiiike, WHY are we glossing over this news item about the desperate warnings of our cybersecurity & intelligence communities? Because the news was tweeted by Her Email Evilness or something?
Seconded. So sick of it. Hillary is a politician with flaws, like any other, but her election loss was due much more to misogyny, Russian interference, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and media credulity than it was to anything she, personally, did or did not do.
I’m working madly to help register new voters because I am so, so nervous about what this portends. After the Blue Wave hits Congress, can we get Cheeto Hitler on Dereliction of Duty, too, for sitting on his hands and whistling while the FSB tries to swing the midterms to the Republicans?
My hobby is to guess which commenters are russian bots—or might as well be. Posts like this are how I test my hypothesis.
This.
It’s not even all that dumb. She was deliberately alluding to The Russians Are Coming, obvs, as a punchy way to frame what’s definitely a serious problem. Our intelligence community isn’t being given the tools or latitude to beef up our cybersecurity infrastructure or go chasing after the Russian entities who are…
It’s laughable. I mean, I wish I was in the mood to laugh more about it, but still, it’s pretty rich— a self-styled #resistance blog doing everything in its power to rain shit and derision on Clinton. Both sides are equally bad!1!!
It blows my mind that a site that spent an inordinate amount of time shitting on HRC since 2007 and actively propagated and courted the “both sides” narrative thinks of itself as some bastion of the #resistance.
She’s not wrong though? Literally everyone but Trump expects another incursion against the US. The last one looks more like a probing attack than the full force that Russia could bring to bear with their pseudo-army of hackers and trolls.
Well, she tried to warn us before, during, AND after it happened. Everybody too busy being smug to bother listening. I’m always surprised she doesn’t just tweet “BYE BITCHES” and swan off to a private island where she brews beer and grows orchids... but for whatever reason, she still seems to care about this shithole…
Too Many Cucks?
It certainly makes sense that the person who created Full House AND Fuller House is a complete monster
