Trumpkin! Gary Johnson! Carter page! fisa! Orange man!


lol. You guys. 

Maybe you should prove that the source has not been fully vetted.   Lulzers.

Y’all do realize that Trump tweeted that racist video to distract from the Russian bounty news right?

Yep, I said as much in post #19328.  Also, President Trump needs to die in September as the simulation has scheduled.  

Having said that, it's gotta be tough for immamac to not trust the Intelligence Community.  We are here for you sir ;)

I found it interesting that British Intelligence confirmed the story. Of course they're "allies" but that doesn't always mean shit in the intelligence world. Also I would expect the Russians to pay the Afghans to kills us. Hell who hasn't paid the Afghans to kill their enemy?

Terrible analogy and exactly the opposite. We assume the null until decisive evidence based on sound methodology is presented to reject the null posture. Jumping whole whole hog on unsourced anonymous reporting is like data presented in a letter to the editor without any control or control for confounding factors. I think you have this one backwards.

Mistrust of the IC, while sometimes being warranted is definitely a huge deal with Trump and his supporters. I know the way you are saying to be wary of IC without blindly accepting it is good intentioned and rooted in logical decision making, but you have to understand the optics dude. 

I don’t much care about the optics. I have been consistent in my skepticism since Iraq, through the patriot act, clapper lies, Snowden revelations, as well as recent events. 
 

if this thread is not the place for critical questioning of anonymous source reporting that appears to coincidently be intended to throw a wrench in peace talks and amplify tensions in Syria and other places we are engaged with Russia so be. Orange man bad. Real bad. And we’ll leave it at that. I guess we will figure out the implications of all that other shit out after Biden is sworn in.

So your theory is that we can't believe Russia put a bounty on US soldiers until . . . when, exactly?  The IC wouldn't cooperate with requests for information.  UK sources corroborated the story.  All of this was laid out in the NYT article -- presumably the same happened in WaPo (I have a subscription but haven't searched) and the WSJ (for which I have no subscription).

You did question it, I'm letting you know why your line of questioning is falling on deaf ears. This is the thread discussing Trump (seems like mostly bad, but also good things) and you are going hard on this IC line. Everyone is willing to accept some level of suspect IC, the topic at hand is the complete and blatant constant disregard to ANY intelligence that doesn't fit into Trump's already existing agenda.

I’m happy to discuss this further in a new thread.

News comes out that Donald Trump is a verifiable traitor, but we should really be talking about the IC.  Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

What a cesspool. 

Welcome to ground zero for geriatrics who are seriously getting it on.

It’s a Thursday night at one of a half-dozen hot spots at the 20,000-acre Central Florida complex called The Villages, the largest gated retirement community in America – and one of the most popular destinations for New Yorkers in their golden years – where the female-to-male ratio runs 10 to 1.

It’s a widower’s paradise, and the word on the street is that there’s a big black market for Viagra.

Though The Villages – which spans three counties with 40,000 homes and more than 70,000 residents – boasts 34 golf courses, nine country clubs, two downtown squares and a slew of restaurants and bars, getting lucky is one of the residents’ primary pastimes.

The huge complex began growing rapidly in the mid-1990s, and reported cases of gonorrhea rocketed from 152 to 245, of syphilis rose from 17 to 33, and of chlamydia from 52 to 115 among those 55 and older in Florida from 1995 to 2005.

The state’s sexually transmitted disease rate among those over 65 is one of the fastest growing in the country, one report claims.

In 2006, a local gynecologist reported that she treated more cases of herpes and human papillomavirus at The Villages than she did when she worked in Miami.

“I get offers for sex all the time,” brags Dave, 70, who, like others who spoke about their sexually active set, asked that his real name not be used, “especially by women in their 70s. They say, ‘Are you busy tonight? I’ll show you a good time.’ ”

Because the risk to deployed troops doesn't really matter to the voting public at least in relation to the possibility that we may lose face by backing down.  Leaving now would just be giving the dirty Russians and the Taliban what they want and we can't have that.  

The public largely despises Trump and has no idea what’s going on in Afghanistan. And very few people want to see Trump as a wartime President.

The story is not doing jack-shit about Russia’s interference in our election and now their bounties on allied forces.

The solution is to get people under oath and get Trump and other scum out of the White House.

What deal? As soon as we're gone they'll go right back to being who they are and always have been. That was a foregone conclusion when we invaded in 2001. They'll say whatever they have to in order to get us to leave. But we're the infidels and their only covenant is with God. If we pull out entirely then any deal we made won't be worth the paper it was written on.

To the extent the Roman Catholic Church represents Christianity, you may be right.  But not a whole lot of Catholics support Trump.

Trumpsters, this is your God.  His consistent, repeated defense to failure after failure is "I'm not evil....just breathtakingly fucking ignorant."  You have made a God of this man, and it's the stupidest fucking god in history.

Trump really broke y’alls brain when it comes to accepting a critical posture wrt the IC warmongering and surveillance. I sincerely hope that you guys recover when he is gone in January. 

Take it to InfoWars, Carter.

I feel like I've heard this question since before he won the R nomination.

In a sane world the answer would have been "yes" before he ever became President.

This isn't unique to fascism or Christianity. Historically, organized religion and the state have always been married, the concept of separation of Church and State was a novel concept for humanity.

@Anastasisis part of that subset of the populace that is comprised almost wholly of IT guys and people who think Dilbert is funny, and harbor a wildly irrational view of what the IC is and what they do, with all sorts of half baked Libertarian theories. It's an unintentionally hilarious group that thinks they have cottoned on to some subtle truth that everyone else has just conveniently missed, even those of us who have studied this sort of thing in depth.

I love the White House response to the taken down white power tweet:

“White House spokesman Judd Deere said the president "did not hear the one statement made on the video" but saw "tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters".”

Ok.  But what about the low hanging fruit?  It’s just another instance where this administration essentially admits it supports and accepts the support of white supremacists.
