In any case he seems to be doing ok so far, unlike reporters and their families who have done nothing wrong. 1. He was certainly threatened with doxxing, which is what I said. I don't see any other way to read this: "CNN is not publishing “HanA**holeSolo’s” name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same. CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change." How does that not give you the creeps? It's Orwellian. 2. I'm obviously against harassing or threatening CNN employees. There is no excuse for it, and I sincerely hope nobody gets hurt. 3. This is pretty funny though: The right wing meme game is strong, and the left keeps feeding the trolls. Who would have guessed trying to repress people you disagree with could backfire?

It would have been a protest that cost you NOTHING, yet you chose to be counted with Trump supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching this play out I think CNN should have just outed the jackass. It would have been justifiable as reporting news and they would have had less negative reaction than they have gotten from the way they handled it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Busch1724 said: Well Kasich seems like someone who would like to unite both sides of the aisle and work bi-partisanly on nearly, if not all, major issues. His speeches during the campaign and since the campaign seem to reflect that, especially when he talks about health care. What separated him from the other republicans was his ability to channel Obama, maybe less effectively. When I say channel Obama, when you hear him speak, he seems motivational, aspirational, and wanted to do good; whether you agreed with him or not. The others did not have that ability. He was not as deeply rooted in the core conservative principles as much as Rubio, Cruz, or Bush. He seems to be much more grounded in common sense. He has displayed positive leadership skills. Bullying negotiations (Cruz and Trump) is not a positive leadership skill. He was the most competent in the republican race. So you're saying he has no chance in hell.

Not to crap all over the rest of your points, but this is bs. Those governments and financial systems cannot be trusted on any level and everyone knows it. China and Russia are not filling a power vacuum. We, as the US, will suffer from the era of trump, but they will not replace us. Everyone knows how corrupt and not trustworthy those countries are, and our ability to withstand trump as president will actually prove how stable and trustworthy ours is.

I believe total jobs created was worse than the same time a year ago for the first 6 months of the year but I'm being to lazy right now to confirm it. That's fine. I just swear the numbers ive seen have continued to get better. I think new housing starts and builder confidence is going back and forth, but is explainable by lumber prices and the existing home market's condition, and generally is still improving. I'm not an economist but I would expect total jobs created to decrease as unemployment decreases. 7 hours ago, LadySkinsFan said: People aren't spending Where are you getting this from?

I'd bet you can think of at least two or three ways that's wrong. Maybe. I just think that calling them the "thought police" and the line about how they would punish him for anything "that they deemed inappropriate or objectionable" was silly. Like, oh so now genocide is objectionable just because CNN says so? Also, the only reason CNN is the enemy is because the President tell his goo of mindless, mouthbreathers to hate them for not agreeing with the God Emperor 100% of the time.

It is but if you engage them with thoughtful posts they will return the favor. You'll have to wade through hysteric bs at times but generally speaking it's a low bar to a good conversation. You just have to make a little effort. 23 minutes ago, RedskinsFan44 said: You (and I) hope. The mere fact he is in power undermines your premise that we are stable and trustworthy. We are not, and are not close to, what we would expect any other country to be had someone like this taken power. The man is on the level of a North Korean dictator. He's that dumb, petulant, and vengeful. Is there really any doubt at this point about what his character is? But we have a strong court system, a system of checks and balances, and generally speaking honorable people throughout various branches of government to prevent us from turning into what trump would prefer (media/disidants locked up, military enforcement on the streets, shows of power, etc) As soon as the gop realizes they can't get anything done with him in charge they'll remove him. As bad as he is as a president (in terms of knowledge and character) we'll get through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 At this point I'm surprised at how surprised people are at the Russian hacking attempts. I guess I just forget the rest of you don't pay attention to the cyber war/crimes/darknet/ whatever else dumb name for this stuff there is. Heads up - this **** has been going on for 10 years and if you think what they were doing with our 2016 election is scary, then you should maybe consider looking into the hackings circa 2007/2008 of our defense contractor systems (cause that **** was weird and shady) and the last 15 years of hacking into corporations stealing R&D from other countries. And now I'm watching Rachel madow talk about how she didn't know printers leave unique fingerprints on documents That ****s been around since serial killers and such started leaving printed things laying around.
