If we’ve learned anything, it’s that these things are alarming beyond the immediate implications. Already, through social media mining and wide net govt surveillance, most of what you do online is available. Now the government will look directly at individual activity. Even those of us who have nothing illegal to hide…

The simple answer is, yes this is alarming.

Seriously? The article is talking about immigrants, greencard holders and naturalized citizens. None of those groups are in the majority.

Also he’s just so goofy looking. I mean, I know we are all sexual beings, even the very ugly among us, but I always thought it was strange that his particular proclivity is sharing pics of himself when he’s such a totally nerdy goofy looking weirdo. I mean, he looked at those pics first and then decided, yes I’m going…

Or if the Democrats had realized it was a bad idea to run one of the most polarizing figures in American politics who carried decades of baggage and relied on algorithms and coastal policy nerds to tell her how to related to people and which states to campaign in.

Well it was a little confusing because you are talking about the military. I can’t think of an example post-Marshall Plan where the US has rebuilt any civilization. I just don’t know how it can be done. If it were just a matter of repairing a damaged infrastructure, ok, but it looks like it was a barely functioning…

Yeah but it’s not a long-term plan to just keep dropping supplies. They have to rebuild that island from scratch- infrastructure, hospitals, power grids, sewage and water treatment, plumbing, all the roads, all the homes, etc. Decades of development. It can be done, but the US military has been a complete failure at…

To be fair, there are places that are too low lying to be rebuilt anymore. I have no sympathy for arguments like we should abandon entire countries or cities, but it’s disingenuous to compare what’s going down in PR and what went down in NOLA to what happened on the Texas Gulf Coast. It’s only been a month and…

Nowhere is safe. You can’t run from all the shit that is going down. This is our new reality, and it’s just going to get worse.

Yeah, it’s the same story everywhere we’ve sent the US military since the Marshall Plan.

Invading is easy. Providing services, infrastructure and security for millions of people is difficult, and if Iraq shows anything, it’s that the US military has been a total failure at it.

Dude. No one is arguing with you about consensual dick pics. Obviously all adults trade naked photos. Or at least most.

Most of it was consenting adults. I remember there was a poker player and a porn star and lots of other women with whom he was having consensual swaps.

What? Clinton started her primary campaign in 2015, less than a year after the biggest Weiner scandal. And by that point, he’d been in and out of sex scandals for four or five years- causing both the destruction of his own Congressional career and of his attempt to re-enter politics as a mayor.

No you just are either young or have a short memory. The first pic scandals-the one made fun of by Jon Stewart etc that initially led to his Congress resignation- were years before that, back in 2011 I believe.

No, you are misremembering. The first dick pic was long before that. I think it was 2011. There was an investigation because he’d also been talking to a minor and the investigation came clear that he’d not done anything wrong with that conversation. But the reason it started in the first place was that a different…

Gay men can enjoy what gay men enjoy. More power to them.

The point isn’t that lesbians should write about gay male sex parties.

Look, I’m not defending him for being a creep. He’s a creep, and obviously has a mental health issue around this shit too. He’s going to to go prison for child pornography probably. Someone should’ve intervened and gotten him help in the very beginning. He’s destroyed a lot of people’s lives. So yea.

What do you mean send them out indiscriminately? The very first scandals about Anthony Weiner were him sending pics out to college girls who followed him on social media. Unsolicited. Just he saw college girls on his Twitter and sent them pics.
