I'm still loving the cognitive dissonance required of Trump supporters to both extremely distrust and loathe corporate shills and CEO's, and yet vote one into office.

Then take it to QCS. I don't want to see a bunch of rules-lawyery bullshit in every thread across the forums just because we're trying to be more flexible about language. I totally get disagreeing with hard-and-fast rules about slurs, and guess what, mods and admins have lots of nuanced opinions about them. That's fine, and there's tons of spirited discussion in QCS right now. But I don't want it derailing threads across every forum.

'Russian operatives' claiming to have damning personal and private information on Trump (how could it be worse than what we know already?) and the article also mentions Trump surrogates going back and forth with Russian intermediaries during the election.

I read about a lot of this stuff during the election from reporters, but here's the first confirmation that the IC finds the poo poo credible and is investigating. I keep finding unsubstantiated rumors about a sex tape being used as blackmail :barf:

I really don't see Trump as worried about a sex tape. Maaaaybe if it was something 'icky' to his base like gay sex. Anything else he would be able to spin to his base as Bigly Strong Manly Sex Haver Macho Alpha. I'm of the opinion that Trump's businesses were miserable failures over and over and he was basically broke until Russian oligarchs bought his rear end start to finish and that's what he is afraid of releasing.

Sex with underage beauty contestant? Like age less than 15 underage? I'm fairly certain no matter how dumb or lovely the republican base is, I can't imagine them taking too kindly to video proof of kid diddling.

Still don't buy it. Him perving on naked underage beauty contestants was already put out in the public, they've inoculated themselves against it (but not measles or mumps because gently caress them all I hope they die cold and alone without infecting the innocent). It would either be a good thing if the Great Orange God says it is or it would be false flag psyops main stream media conspiracy lies and faked evidence.

I'm not boggled that they still want to go after porn, because of course they do. I'm just amazed that they exist in such a perfect bubble that they think it would actually do loving anything to ban porn in Anno Domini 2017. How would you even attempt to go about it?

Orrin Hatch is from Utah, a state that had a "porn czar" a few years ago, and considers pornography a public health crisis. That state IS a bubble and until about 15 years ago you there were no smut shops. You went to Wyoming for that.

You can't reason with those fucks, might as well make fun of them and hope demographics change soon enough. Their only real loyalty is to culture war issues that reasonable people aren't willing to compromise on. Might as well twist the knife when the guy who promised them everything their AM radio tuned lizard brains wanted screws them.

You still have to give them something to move toward otherwise you're going to push them farther into the "insane" camp, where they will continue to vote for citrus fruits out of spite.

This story has been oppo for a while, apparently, but no reporter could verify it enough to actually run with it during the election, because I mean, come on.

CNN discovered that the Intelligence Community found the British ex-spook's poo poo credible enough to present to Obama/Trump, so there's your second source. Out comes buzzfeed.
