  Re: Where have you been the last seven years?

  You are projecting. You are under some illusion I like trump. I won't even capitalize his name.

  Re:

  We did that. Yay. Unfortunately, it sent his approval rating up, and now fewer people support impeachment now then before it started. The clueless morons are getting him reelected with their fake nonsense. Again.

  Re:

  Again, I know what's going on because I read up. The Ohr connection is pretty damning. The DNC literally paying for the fake dossier should be enough, and is for anyone unbiased.

  Re:

  This makes sense to me. It's like the old telecom tradition of lying to customers about outages so they don't have to pay fees associated with breaking their SLA. Telecoms got so used to lying to people, they'd do it when they didn't even have to lie. It just became standard practice.

  Re:

  They literally lied about paying for the fake dossier they had the FBI pretend was real, and the FBI literally lied about the DNC paying for it, despite knowing they did. They knew they'd never get their FISA applications approved without lying about the disposition of the fake DNC dossier. Come on.

  Re:

  I just did it this time. Me knowing is enough for me. The real mind bender now is waking up and realizing it was all just a con from the DNC and FBI, with help from the news media. It's realizing you live in that world, where both sides are badguys.

  Manafort is still screwed. He was corrupt before trump, when he was working for the Clintons and Podestas.

  Re: Re: Amazing

  They fabricated evidence. Yeah, he's going to sue and he's going to win. They ruined his life. Manafort is still screwed, but Flynn will walk now, and Papadop will get his record wiped, and he'll likely also sue and win now.

  Amazing

  It's like all the people that said it was fake were right this whole time. Nuts. Now all those people convicted will walk free, or get their records expunged. Oh, and it looks like Carter Page is going to sue the heck out of the FBI, and win.

  I'll be watching this one closely

  About half my closet is teespring. Would be a shame to have to stop buying from them.

• On the post: Be Careful What You Wish For: TikTok Tries To Stop Bullying On Its Platforms… By Suppressing Those It Thought Might Get Bullied

  Distilled, it comes down to this:

  1) Do I placate the wishes of a tiny fraction of my users, and change the entire world for them?
  or
  2) Do I identify the handful of overly sensitive people and hide the world from them?

  I'm really leaning towards two now. Imagine how much better twitter would be.

  I'm going to have to spend some time processing this one.

  On the face of it... I mean, the folks that are overly sensitive make up a very tiny portion of any social network. Is it right to give that tiny fringe minority cancelling power? Doesn't it make more sense to protect those sensitive people by shielding them from the real world? Wouldn't that be about ten times easier?
  It still feels like I'm missing something about how elegant that all seems, and much easier than doing the opposite.

  Potentially illegal surveillance program?

  Do you mean like illegally spying on a presidential candidate with the FBI by using forged documents? That happened much more recently. We should probably deal with the FBI's illegal harassment of an American citizen for political reasons before we hop in a time machine to attack someone.

  I just felt a disturbance in the farce

  As if a thousand childish haters and braindead shorters cried out in childish jealous and were suddenly louder.

  They are so dumb

  Why make laws when google and twitter will do it for you and call it content moderation?

  What's normal procedure...

  What's normal procedure when a company tells provable lies about you repeatedly? How are you supposed to react to that? He has proof they told lies. What should he do?

  The important thing

  is to continue to shame people pushing fake russian conspiracy theories at this point, when we know the Media made most of it up whole cloth.
