I suggest everyone brush up on Nord Stream-2 and the impact it will have if/when completed. As I understand it, it's a mostly unneeded project that will give Russia a large amount of leverage over European energy and cut Ukraine/Poland out of the picture. Undermining these two countries is a priority for a Russia bent on reclaiming dominance in Europe, and especially dominance over post-Soviet states.

I'm ordering this book to learn more about the subject of this tweet, thought I'd share.

It looks like he's lying in OP's video. According to the NPR article putin as unable to attend the pageant and sent a gift to Trump instead via the daughter of Agalarov.

Unless Trump means they spoke on the phone he's blowing smoke here.

Steve Schmidt, one of McCain's campaign managers, talked about how they picked Palin with almost no vetting, a decision he claims he wasn't part of. In a recent interview with Preet Bahara, he mentions having a realization moment, something like "Holy shit she doesn't know anything about anything!"

how many of those do trump supporters cheerfully check?

> Assuming that anyone who joins a cult is stupid doesn't help you stop people from joining cults or to deprogram them.

but it does absolve me of a need to understand the specifics of the cult. i don't ask scientologists why they believe <x>, because it is a cult. i don't need more than that at this point.

Well, for what it's worth, Signal is as safe as it gets. And the more people that use encrypted messaging, the less suspicious anyone using it is.

If you’re into reading or audiobooks, I’d recommend:

Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062878816/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vDpcFbS5XR9A6

Not promoting Amazon but wanted to reference the book.

Trump’s credit is shit. No established bank in the US or most of Europe will give him a loan or line of credit based on his long history of Bankruptcy and failing to pay contractors.

The only way he can get loans is through the following: (high level explanation)

Cash from shady sources —> deposited in bank located in shady country —> Shady BOD approves loan —> loan either directly sent to Trumps account or loan diverted to shell company overseas.

Also on Fox News, Senior Legal Analyst Napolitano:

>Effectively, what Bob Mueller said is: 'We had evidence that he committed a crime, but we couldn't charge him because he's the President... The President can't be indicted, otherwise we would have indicted him.'&quot;

Most mainstream VPNs (and any worth anything) don’t allow you to connect to Russia (checked Nord, Express, TunnelBear, and Proton) because Roskomnadzor demands server logs and content filters, which goes against privacy standards. Same reason there aren’t any in China.

I have been studying definitions of fascism written before 2016. One of my favorites mentions "actions for actions sake". I didn't know what that meant until I realized it's people who do exhaust dumping out of their trucks or headbutting cameras.

Thanks! Did you actually read it though? It doesn't read favorably to Trump.

What has he done, policy-wise, to credit him with any economic gains, the trajectory of which was already up under Obama. Remember how we had a recession and have steadily improved for years, both stock market and unemployment?

Pretty much everything listed is at best interpreted as mood change because speculation in the stock market presumes deregulation and tax cuts for the wealthy. I say the wealthy because it's 1) obviously true, and 2) only like 50% of Americans have any money invested in the stock market (including 401k). So using the market as an indicator isn't very useful anyway.

Snopes isn't actually liberal in their application of facts, they're pretty objective. There's some selection bias with Snopes and fact check that means they decide what to check. They could for example ignore a Hillary Clinton lie, then fact check every Trump lie and it would skew coverage. I don't believe you could find many examples of them not objectively applying facts to what they do examine, however.

I'm glad Trump hasn't accomplished much. His policies would make things worse. We've tried trickle down before, why are we still defending this? The market likes tax cuts for the rich and corporations. They destroy the economy, and it doesn't create jobs. Corporate profits and cash on hand are at record highs, yet wages are stagnant for decades for everyone but the wealthy. So what would it mean for Trump to accomplish anything? You'll know it when things get even worse.

Income inequality and deregulation led to the great depression, the last recession, and that's where Trump wants to go. Let's hope he never accomplishes anything. This is just economics. The moron is pushing coal in 2017. We're an embarrassment globally.

Here’s one article

Dude... same crap here. The governor signed an NDA with the FBI, so again, this proves nothing aside from forcing us to trust the authorities, because the only evidence I’m seeing here are IPs tied to spear-phishing attacks.

The attackers had Russian IP addresses, I’m writing this post to you with a Canadian IP address, but I’m in Pennsylvania. This is possible and very easy to do with a VPN like TunnelBear or NordVPN.

Amateur drug dealers and sex traffickers use TOR along with a VPN to hide their trail which is impossible for the CIA to trace, because TOR was developed by the CIA. and the NSA said in the leaked Bradley Manning document that “TOR Onion Router Stinks” because the NSA cannot establish a man in the middle attack to check out what your browser history is.

Again, zero proof of any collusion.

Feel free to post the proof.

Feels are not proof.

"pleading guilty about lying to the FBI"

the communications with the russians, after the campaign was over btw, was not in any way illegal. He shouldn't have lied to the FBI, but that is on Flynn, not Trump or the campaign. Its also not proof of any sort of collusion, as even the FBI said the communications were not illegal or even out of the ordinary. Whatever punishment Flynn ends up with is fine.

Again, if you have any evidence of actual collusion, feel free to post it.

You're just a paranoid xenophobe.

I wonder what the excuse the left will have when Trump starts his second term.

I hope you have a wonderful evening.
