I mean the "epic sci fi" genre is toast. Like the Wachowskis put out that weird one with Channing Taters as space wolf man that no one liked and that's pretty much it.

Watch "On the Silver Globe." Its old, Polish, and unfinished but is still one of the better space operas.

Thy did everything in their power to not let Trump win, including nonstop propaganda media polls but he won anyway. What those leaks reveal is that the very first step of this Russian narrative can't be trusted since it could have been a separate actor that did the hack, if there was even a hack at all. Perhaps it was Poland hoping to cause NATO to impose more restrictions against Russia. There is absolutely no way to tell who it was since these tools have been available to 3rd parties for some time.

There are, of course, issues with the many meetings between President PoopiePants' surrogates and Russian officials that tend to lend credibility to the cyber-espionage allegations. You must admit, Poetic Justice, that it does paint a rather interesting picture of collusion (albeit with a somewhat wide brush!). From my perspective--and it is admittedly just another opinion--it does seem that President PoopiePants may be sufficiently narcissistic to have allowed himself to be "owned" by Russian business/government interests in exchange for winning the biggest beauty pageant of all--the American presidential election!

How dare they publish polls not showing that everyone loves Trump! It's like the fake news about the huge crowd during the inauguration!

Hillary, Obama and the CIA are doing everything they can to hide the fact that everybody loves Donald. But the Truth will eventually come out

they spent the entire campaign denying russian connections - eg here's paul manafort - and now they're going "oh yeah uhh I guess we did." not just sessions or others who have plausible reasons to meet with members of foreign governments, but people like carter page and JD gordon, who met with kislyak a day before the GOP convention platform on Ukraine was amended. or there's the steele dossier predicting the sale of a 19% stake of Russian oil company Rosneft in return for lifting economic sanctions back in July, then that sale actually happening on December 7th to an unknown buyer.

like, I won't pretend to be a genius here. but "evidence is lacking"? surely that could be shown by trump releasing his taxes or whatever. smoke is pouring out of every hole in the white house, the admin shouts there's no fire and refuses to open the front door to show anyone. what is an observer supposed to think?

im a brokebrained autistic manchild, so once it is explained to me in short, simple sentences how I'm an idiot for thinking there's anything to be suspicious about, I will slink away with my tail between my legs + tears in my eyes and the thread can focus on crushing the real enemy, the insidious Poles

What the heck you chucklefucks, were was it posited that the vault 7 leaks are legit? Are we just assuming that wikileaks is the honest source of truth (like Trump)? This can just as easily be conflated by the russians as by the CIA itself, and is likely somewhere in the middle.

The same NPR bit I mentioned earlier had an InfoSec guy on it from some IT security firm and he said he thinks it's real. Something to do with the open-source stuff in the leaks that they could go and independently verify.

That she had 3 million more votes and still lost points to the Republicans having a huge loving advantage somewhere.

And it's on the electoral map.

Both sides cry about the college when its not on their side. Hillary was a poo poo candidate with a muddled platform and the only clear message most people got from her over the sound of frothing idiot identity politic pushers was "lol donald trump."

two opposing sides both being critical of the same system doesnt automatically invalidate either group's criticism. presumably, one must investigate the rationale behind the criticism.

The healthcare plan was already destroying every insurance company not massive enough to weather the storm

The plan was for only the juggernauts to remain, where they could monopolize the market and jack prices up
