Because the fraud was so blatant, a RUSSIAN laywer reported her. In Russia. And was arrested. Like, you couldn't make it any more obvious something was going on.

It's really saying something that in the age of trump, the dumbest sounding conservative commentators are the "intellectual" never trump guys, the kind who ran the house in the bush years. Case in point: https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1082296110432047105?s=21

I saw it written somewhere last year or so that if someone had said Trump poo poo himself on national television and then threw it at people, your natural reaction would be "gently caress me I have to see the video", because at this point why the gently caress not.

Someone didn't tell Manafort's lawyers that you don't redact documents by putting the words in spoiler tags. https://twitter.com/dmartosko/status/1082706075491667969?s=19 Seriously, go to the documentcloud and copy/paste the redactions. poo poo like: https://twitter.com/awprokop/status/1082709608991547392?s=19 FYI - Kilimnik was tied to Russian Intelligence as recently as 2016, so the Trump Campaign was literally sharing polling data with the Russians, through Manafort

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46788751 The french government is considering making unsanctioned protests illegal, and making attending 'sanctioned' protests with a face covering also illegal. They are very not-shook and this will work great, right?

Oh god, I was bored so I did some rough calculations on the border wall (my arithmetic is awful so I might have missed a zero somewhere). If you built it out of strakes the advertised height and depth (8.2M) and they were box steel sections 10cm x 10cm that were 0.5cm thick (seemed sensible and my local foundry makes them), you need $4B of mild steel (going by the local rate in my city in the UK, I live in steel central) and ~3% of your total mild steel output (on 2017 figures) for a year to do it, covering the official length of the border. That was a really naive, conservative, back of the envelope calculation though. I've just started going through the definition of the USA/Mexico border - the "Treaty of Limits". Borders and map making are really interesting and also complex as all hell, and the fractal nature of measuring them is something you get taught as a young budding mathematician. For problems like that I generally bump up the naive value by like 3x to compensate for the on the ground routing and nature's hatred of people like me making simple estimates. Basically the raw materials alone would cost you a NASA, and the construction cost is going to be 10x that minimum. I didn't even look at the cost of concrete, fuel, shipping, wages and buying all the land you don't own. Lol, jesus. You literally can't build this thing even if most of you wanted to.

It's almost like clockwork that one of my old soldiers or one from my old company will add me on Facebook and within a day or two they will share some hosed up, racist conservative meme and I'll be like " god drat dude you are a piece of poo poo". One good thing about being an S4 is most logistics soldiers are minorities so I can freely talk poo poo about Trump and Republicans and not have to worry about it. Combat arms branches are full of dudes with loving awful opinions.

Eej posted:https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/1082687287983595520 The biggest concern I have about this is the natsec angle. You could use my phone to track my comings and goings, and it doesn't even have to be a smartphone, a 20 dollar AT&T burner can be tracked just as easily, and I'm sure you can track OnStar just the same, as it has a cell modem built into it. You can establish a most likely route for my daily travel and my routine of being in and out of the house (the data request includes the home address of the account!) and then plan an intercept of me or my family for whatever nefarious poo poo you were planning to do, like pressure someone into becoming an insider threat. Thanks to the government shutdown lol this will be water under the bridge before the FCC gets back in office, and nothing will happen because we live in hypercapitalist hellworld. orange juche fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jan 8, 2019 |
