“...what purpose would it serve to disable the brakes on moving cars?”

“I love how you keep repeating that they hacked our election like its the same as hacking the democrats email servers.”

I didn’t say that they hacked the election. The agencies CLAIM that Russia hacked the DNC and leaked the emails in an effort to tilt the election for Trump. Obama claims that the press paid too much attention to those emails and it hurt Clinton. That is social engineering, aka hacking people. Saying that agencies…

Is social engineering not a form of hacking?

They hacked multiple organizations central to our election, and selectively released information with the intention of swaying the results. This point is agreed upon by every non-partisan agency that has reviewed the evidence. It doesn’t matter whether or not they achieved their goals. If you hack a ATM it doesn’t…

absurd hearings aimed at debunking consensus on global warming

His buddy/co-worker Marc Caputo is having a twitter tantrum right now, claiming he doesn’t understand how anyone could have a problem with this. It’s bizarre.

Nixon had the recording equipment installed himself. Sort of backfired on him though.

Mike Allen, because-of-fucking-course it’s Mike Allen. Everyone in that picture needs to be put on a media blacklist shot out of a cannon into the white-hot sun.

I hate to say it, but this story is actually about Ethics In Journalism.

Iranians are Persians.

Iran went from a liberal Arab country

I am strongly pro-Planned Parenthood, and don’t believe that telling the true, complex story of the woman who started it all diminishes its work or importance at all. I think some people believe that.

Quite frankly, it’s the complexity and contradictions that make her especially interesting — not to mention her achievements.

I didn’t get a sense anyone is trying to explain anything away. She is a product of the era in which she lived, although in one key area (i.e. birth control) she was ahead of her time. The argument being made is that her significant accomplishment in the latter area is overshadowed by the unfortunate espousal of ideas…

Can we agree that she was a somewhat flawed woman that ended up doing great things for women despite those flaws?

Her misfortune, her tragic mistake, was taking up with those who were racists and not seeing where their policies led. But here’s the rub. The men who touted eugenics have not gone down in history’s hall of shame. If you do an online search of Teddy Roosevelt, or the African-American civil rights activist W.E.B.…

Before the comments turn into an echo chamber of how racist she was, I hope people will at least look at the article linked above here: http://www.politifact.com/new-hampshire/statements/2015/oct/05/ben-carson/did-margaret-sanger-believe-african-americans-shou/

That's unfair to the French. Outside of Serbia, France had the highest military casualty rate of the war. The Nivelle Offensive failed to win the war like Nivelle had promised and pushed France's total war deaths over a million. At that point the troops got fed up. The socialists among them were internationalist…
