Like I said before, with all these competing news agencies telling different stories someone's gotta be the fake, I'm sorry you blindly trust corporate media even though they've been caught lying innumerable times

ditty bout my clitty posted:It's important to remember that free speech isn't just about getting to say what you want, it's also about being protected from persecution like lawsuits for saying or writing things.Even defamatory things, and even if you have an interest in defaming the object you're writing about. By this logic the UK should be incredibly low on the list, since it is infamous for how easily you can abuse its defamation laws. Yet it's higher than the US. So obviously that cannot possibly be a factor.

ditty bout my clitty posted:This is a german thing and it's them overcompensating for what other people did during WW2. I understand that, and I'm not even saying it is necessarily bad, I am simply saying that I don't believe Germany is really 5 slots ahead of the US on the "who has freer speech" scale and just measuring "press freedom" isn't revealing the whole picture in terms of that bc that is just one aspect of free speech in general. Otherwise yeah their press is probably better/freer than ours which is just a corporate suck off most of the time.

Both sides are shoveling poo poo. Who started it? Who loving cares, Democrats are doing the same loving petulant foot dragging that Republicans did with Obama. The only thing we can all agree on is we certainly prefer name-calling to problem solving. I still hate you GBS but that's ok, you can hate me too, it's only fair.

man I was already all hyped about the russian money laundering ring being run out of trump tower and deutsche bank laundering russian money and poo poo now the AP is reporting that they have even more proof of manafort being a putin bagman or whatever the hell. even a line in there about manafort scamming a billionaire friend of putin's out of $19 million dollars, then said billionaire dropping the case when trump got nominated. good poo poo Spunky Psycho Ho posted:Dude, the democrats are great people that just want to help you, and the lovely republicans are loving everything up because they're evil close, the democrats are also evil but willing to throw you scraps to get your vote. refer to the following helpful chart by noted political genius Tim Kreider

There's a problem there: you can't actually prove Manafort did any of the work, especially considering the article itself points out he scammed the hell out of that billionaire. I thought scamming Russian billionaires out of their money was good?

I mean it's not proven in a court of law yet but that's what investigations are for. so what's the impossibility? besides FAKE NEWS I guess but you know

Irrational, like 3rd world failed states like Mexico to have it as part of "their national identity" to escape Mexico lol News here bud it's not our loving problem Mexico sucks a fat one and it's not our job to dictate Mexican policy, just our job to keep illegals the gently caress out of our country and this causes a conniption fit among liberals because laws existing long before trump was president are now enforced and the ultra wealthy may have more problems exploiting a vulnerable underclass but as usual the solution here to liberals is to scream racist at people not lockstep thinking correctly and then as Mordor does, unironically wishing genocide and death upon everyone who didn't vote for Hillary lmao

dude nunes himself in that article says it looked like incidental collection in which the trump team communicated with the actual targets of the surveillance. and it turns out the targets of said surveillance were a russian money laundering ring operating out of a trump tower penthouse suite three floors below trump's. so uh
