Considering he very rarely tweeted and then goes ham with RT's of Russian troll's, it's not all that difficult to connect the obv dots.Quote:

He's fucked, and cooperating to keep his son out of jail...lol The chances that he was doing this rogue are basically slim to none.
Sure, and Hillary Clinton will win the 2016 election....
News flash, they are all dirty.

A lot of people invested in those companies. People got appallingly rich off FB stock. And being an investor rarely equates influence.
Just saying, people are flipping out about this like its a smoking gun but I dont see how its relevant. You know, yet. 100% possible I'm misreading this somehow.

Just like the Manafort and low level coffee boy arrests, a big nothing burger right?
In life sometimes a singe part is not important but a sum of all the parts, end of day after this puzzle is put together, they all ridin dirty. No politician has a right to throw a rock at another, for example watched Nancy Pelosi this morning ramble on about Trump and taxes and how middle class suffer when her and her husband used inside info to buy land and profit. ALL dirty
What's ironic is she used the fact her inside info she used wasn't technically a crime for her and she was protected makes her accusing Trump of collusion when it isn't even a crime technically a real hoot. If karma was real and as in youtube videos instant, they'd all fall down.

I can tell that you totally missed my point and are just going to do your mintjewlips routine for whatever comes next so I'm taking a pass on reading further.
The Trump thread is more your speed, its right over there. Just wade right in.

Interestingly there was quite a squabble a few months ago regarding Zuckerberg's wish to get all philanthropic with his billions yet retain his voting rights. So it's a thing and its important.
Votes and voting blocks matter and it enriches the discussion.
Putin believes we meddled with his 2012 "election" and other matters. He is getting even. He fucked around with Brexit. He fucked around with French and other Western elections. That Facebook and Twitter hold great influence is not lost on him.
Facebook and Twitter were called testify to before Congress on Russia and the 2016 presidential election. Zuckergerg sent sharp lawyers who were expertly evasive. Simultaneously (I shit you not) Zuck was on his quarterly conference call reporting record earnings.
Zuck will have to make an appearance cause this ain't over. This will make great theater.
Signed:
someone who was dismissive of Facebook and did not get appallingly rich. Was unable to remain amoral and unbiased and it cost me. I harken back to the stock thread 4 years ago where I was shitposting about FB with Chaps. I can't bear to look back.
Edit:
Yeah, I'm of the opinion Trump is cooked. But shit takes time. The current indictments won't see court til next year. Justice ain't swift and rule of law is so not a thing anymore.

Fucking fascinating, thank you. If there was any of this involved, I agree thats a huge deal.
If I were Trump, I'd have Kushner executed on TV and pretend I had nothing to do with it and pretend that I was mad about it
I don't read politics as much as you but I swear the only Western election Putin didn't meddle with was Germany.
I think I read that from ex Obama defense secretary Robert Gates.
Now that's fascinating.
Finally. A voice of reason.Quote:

In a move that would seem unimaginable in the United States, the campaigns for the major political parties entered into a “gentleman’s agreement” this year not to exploit any information that might be leaked as a result of a cyberattack.
Germans also still largely trust their mainstream, traditional news media sources and, unlike Americans, tend to be wary of information disseminated on Facebook and Twitter.
In other words, these days Germans as a whole are more intelligent and tend not to be fooled easily.Quote:

Oh the irony.
Trump taking his road show to Asia. Can you imagine the dismissive amusement and how differently Chinese must perceive capitalist democracy these days.Quote:

The capitalist failing of the 2008 crash and the shitshow that is US politics. China has moved from collective leadership and back to single person rule. lets just call it what it is - dictatorship with no plan for succession - a swing as far from democracy as a country can get.
"No thanks, we're good."
You want to talk about US influencing elections? The US has done a jolly good job through example.
It may have simply not been in their interests to alter the outcome, of course.Quote:

fps_jewlips is going to want to clear his schedule for the rest of the day because real talk, carter pages testimony was ... whats the legal term... oh yeah; 'fucking bonkers'.
The gift that keeps on giving.
He's got zero connection to the President, he's no real threat, but i think he should be suicided on principal. My only critique of President Trump is that he doesn't go to clinton levels when it comes to this shit, but hey, thats why he's the prez...
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017...-tower-meetingQuote:
“Looking ahead, if we come to power, we can return to this issue and think what to do about it,’’ Veselnitskaya recalled Trump Jr. saying. He allegedly added, “I understand our side may have messed up, but it’ll take a long time to get to the bottom of it.” (A lawyer for Trump Jr., Alan Futerfas, told Bloomberg that the eldest Trump son had no comment on Veselnitskaya’s interview.)
After Veselnitskaya presented her case to Trump Jr., she says he asked, “This money the Ziffs got from Russia, do you have any financial documents showing that this money went to Clinton’s campaign?” When she conceded that she did not, the meeting quickly unraveled. “The meeting was a failure; none of us understood what the point of it had been,’’ the lawyer said. Now, Veselnitskaya wants to share her account with the Senate Judiciary Committee on the condition that her testimony be made public—a condition that the committee has not yet agreed to, Bloomberg reports. She added that she would also speak to special counsel Robert Mueller. (The Clinton Global Initiative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.)

We have our first runner!
The guy who sold the Russian email dirt narrative to Pap and orchestrated his relationship with Russia is literally on the fucking lam.
This is easily the most calorie rich 'nothingburger' in recorded history.
When are you going to come to grips that asking and even receiving hacked emails from Russia on Clinton is not a crime? Collusion is not a crime. There is no way Trump will be impeached. You would need a majority in the House, and a conviction in the Senate by a 2/3rd majority.Quote:

All the media and left wings loons do is rally the Trump base.
Nixon was threatened to be impeached and convicted because crimes were committed, many of them and the Dems had an overwhelming majority in both houses, and the left wing controlled all the media in the 70s. None of those elements are in place now.
Do you not realize CNN and their Trump obsession is the the best thing happening for Trump? If the economy is good in 2018, the Republicans coast. I mean like 5-7 seats in the Senate and net neutral in the House.
Someone please pick up a history book, and try and not act so stupid. TIA.
or what, gonna cry?
Yeah it really rallies trump's base, that's why all the steadily republican-leaning and swing areas in NJ, VA and even GA voted Democratic yesterday.Quote:

It's true Trump won't be impeached, but his presidency is crippled already and it's due to his own incompetence and corruption.
And BTW selling the policy of the country to foreign interests in exchange for dirt on a political opponent IS a crime. But he won't be impeached.
In the end Trump will be the best thing to happen to the democratic party since President Obama became president
Seriously who the fuck cares about impeachment?
The GOP has been exposed. They cant govern. They spent the last 8 years playing 'undermine the black guy' and without that theme song to unite them, they are exposed as the only thing worse than criminals; criminals who cant get anything done.
The politician who authored the anti-trans bathroom bill just got unseated by a fucking trannie. That's on the GOP's tombstone, forever.

I love that the corncobs are now hinging their entire arguments on the definition of collusion.
