lol “Its not meant to be literal,” interprets analogy literally as a rebuttal.

Still not a funny bit. Desperation is a stinky cologne Becky.

Thanks Becky. I’ll keep that under advisement.

Stop. You had me at “Of course, the President can do anything he/she wants as long as it doesn’t violate the Constitution.”

No, it was plenty dumb. So that wasn’t the issue.

So… Not only is none of your first paragraph true, but your second one contradicts the basis of it.

You didn’t read the EO or either of the court appeals… Did you?

“… there is no religious test within the text.”

In terms of percentages… Belief in organized religion is on the decline in most liberal/Western countries. The USSR is an outlier because religion was more or less banned there for a long time. After the fall of the USSR that ban ceased to exist so belief in organized religion it had only one place to go. The…

Sadly, in the vacuum left by the collapse of the Left and the torrent of neoliberal nihilism, religion is the final refuge for those seeking grounding and a sense of themselves and a better time.

lol Putin molests little boys, kills his own citizens and robs them blind = Hillary is a corrupt old lady.

If the missing word between “power” and “even” is “changed,” I fully agree. If it was “influenced,” then by your standard we need to be looking at China, Iran, Israel, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and a whole host of other states as well, both allies and adversaries.

Its funny because he’ll never tell his citizens that he murdered 300 of them in 1999, privatized all their infrastructure to make himself rich, has sex with little boys and runs the biggest state run propagator of lies on the planet. Well, second biggest outside of NK I guess, but its makes a better impact if you…

That’s a good selfie, but who’s the little kid standing behind him?

Its not my job to educate you Gus. I don’t have to source this for you to make it true. If you want to sound like an uniformed idiot… That’s your bag. Not mine. If you even cared as much as you’re pretending to care, you’d have all that information already. These things aren’t really up for debate, so if you want to…

You must not be an American. Because it doesn’t matter if it was THE THING that cost Clinton the election. If foreign power even one single of our votes… That’s not fucking okay. That is 100% unacceptable, in every possible way.

Jesus. Over here too?

1/ Most of that is unrelated straw men. Email servers, etc can be bad choices on Hillary’s part but that’s in no way related to Russian meddling. Multiple factors are at play, more than one singular thing influences the outcome of a national election.

I’m not really interested in explaining active measure espionage to you. If you don’t find it necessary educating yourself on such matters and would prefer to be ignorant, you’re allowed to do that.

I don’t understand the difference between the direct hacking of our physical electoral machines and active espionage efforts that Russia has executed here as well as in a dozen other different countries.
