It is not nonsense, because Michael Jackson specifically stated he was proud of being black and would never want a white person to play him. He had vitiligo, an actual skin disease, and the truth of that is well documented now via his autopsy and historical photos of his patchy skin. He lightened his skin with…

Yes. That is totally the same thing.

But HER EMAILS!!!!

I think it’s fair to say that the report doesn’t really deliver a smoking gun, but that’s partially because most of what is in the report was already leaked. This makes it official, though, and forces Trump to respond one way or another. (Ignoring it or pretending it didn’t say what it said is a response!)

Jesus fucking christ if you don’t know anything about how Intel reports are written, maybe look into it before writing this shit. Terms like “high confidence” and “moderate confidence” ARE ACTUAL TERMS WITH SPECIFIC MEANINGS. It doesn’t mean “maybe”. It is also a DECLASSIFIED report, which means you don’t get to see…

I certainly get your point. I too, tend to try to be as diplomatic as possible with family, friends, and with what’s left of the Kinjasphere. But this piece really was slipshod and I’m glad that so many members of the commentariat have articulated with great specificity how wrong its premise and conclusions were.

But Russia is sponsoring other means - not just hacking - to propagandize to Americans.

I am amongst the last to be critical of a writer here. On the one hand I have too much invested (much like with my dysfunctional family I don’t like airing grievances publicly) and on the other, not enough (it’s just a website/blog). But this article was extremely disappointing. I don’t expect nor want an echo chamber…

And expose both their motives and our methods of tracking them, which would NOT be good.

This is embarassing.

Evidence details would almost certainly include information that could endanger covert operatives. We know Republicans love to unmask covert operatives for political purposes.

Bernie Panders would never have won the general. Republicans wanted him to be the nominee because they had so much to attack him on and knew he would lose. Your white male savior Bernie lost the primary because fewer people voted for him and more people voted for Hillary. Just because you don’t like the facts doesn’t…

There is zero factual proof of this, and it pains me to know so many butthurt gullible morons live on my side of the political spectrum who believe it.

If you believe all that garbage about HRC you’re as big a rube as those who voted for him. You bought the right wing propaganda hook, line, and sinker. The fact that the DNC pushed for an actual Democrat as opposed to an independent should shock no one, unless they’re stupid. It became clear early on that the Bernie…

Someone remind me

That wasn’t the point I was making. Sanders was uncompetitive enough in the early primaries that it torpedoed his chances from the onset. (Enter complaints about money funneling and debate scheduling and superdelegate existence that Obama 2008 had little problems overcoming here.) There’s an alternate universe where…

Yeah, the people who thought Hillary Clinton was a socialist would have absolutely voted for someone who calls himself one.

The DNC didn’t anoint her as anything. The Democratic Party voted for her.
She was the chosen candidate of the DNC in 2008 too and she still lost. If Bernie had run a better campaign and Clinton hadn’t spent 30 years creating a network of political pros at her disposal, he would have won.
