Aramis posted:Anti-hacking laws are weird, but this is not outlandish. The law doesn't care how good of a job you do at securing your system, it only cares about whether someone intentionally bypasses whatever measures you have in place. It's kind of stupid from a technical level, but it at least makes things very clear from a legal standpoint. This was literally the case that established the precedent question about whether public URLs that were easily available but not linked consisted of enough of a security system to pass that test. weev became a cause celebrate because of it with a lot of EFF types signing on to defend him because of the precedent the case was setting. He lost and so now it is!

How is this possible? I was under the impression that anytime the president travels anywhere there’s an advance team, lots of preparations are made, etc. I realize the current administration is not exactly a well oiled machine, but I would think that institutions around it, such as the secret service, would take care of some of this.

SocketWrench posted:I'd take this with a grain of salt. It's from August, Trump hadn't launched a coup yet. Trump and the Republican Party has been gutting benefits to service members but just awful, terrible, myopic rear end backwards foreign policy decisions that absolutely no one likes from the dumbest marines to the oldest crustiest Generals. There's some good reddit threads on more specifics but the military is absolutely not a fan of Trump.

Tibalt posted:It does indicate a general decision by Republican congressional leaders that trying to shield Trump isn't worthwhile. A lot depends on whether there's another attack at any of these state-level nazi rallies or if there's innocent blood spilled at the inauguration. If they blow up a school bus or something, I can see republicans voting to convict.

When your entire party is basically a rehash of the last seditionist movement that cursed the country, why should sedition matter? The Party of Lincoln is also The Party of the Confederacy.

Freudian slippers posted:It sure looks like him and Norris is a confirmed ultraconservative. Anyone who hasn't should go to youtube and search for 'Chuck Norris 1000 years of darkness' It's an infomercial that aired nationally where he says that electing Obama as president will bring on the end times and destroy the world. That's pretty much when I stopped considering conservatives rational.

It's hard to say. Once inauguration passes, this trial becomes the ultra focus of the entire planet; with everything else going on, there may actually be less attention on the trial prior to inauguration, and McConnell would have no control afterwards.

He can never be wrong. If he every shows contrition for anything he always walks it back moments later. Can we end the gaslighting. Why doesn't this tweet just, 'reporting' his words include a statement saying he's full of poo poo? So, loving exhausted of amplifying lies and hatred by giving it equal weight.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Today they are, yes, but the Confederacy was largely Democratic and Lincoln was the only good Republican ever. Yes and no. The party swap in the 1960s made that untrue: The Dems of the Civil War are the Republicans of today. This was the same argument that the GOP likes to throw around, but they themselves largely know where they came from.

I swear, if any elected official ever again utters the words "Many people" as an excuse for their actions without a single citation... It's the one thing that's been pissing me off throughout the past 4 years. Why press haven't been just constantly following up every "many people" excuse with a loving simple "Like who, exactly?" will be forever beyond me.
