I mostly just engage with the LP side of this place so I'm not Hip To The SA Culture DND and CSPAM are both current events forums. Several other forums have their own “chat” threads that discuss current events through the lens of that forum’s community.

“Democrats would’ve impeached Lincoln” gets a “technically correct” rating so I can’t do anything but laugh. Blago should’ve added something about Trump tower Chicago to really get on the fast track for a pardon.

Just to be clear here, was this Iranian general in Iraq officially on a state passport doing official state business in a country that diplomatically recognizes the government he worked for? At least when we violated Pakistani territory to assassinate OBL he was generally recognized as an outlaw and Pakistan basically had to say “oh uh thanks for taking care of that!”

Untagged posted:Might as well get rid of most of the indoor shooting ranges while we're at it... quote:B. It is unlawful to operate an indoor shooting range in any building not owned or leased by the Commonwealth or the federal government unless (i) fewer than 50 employees work in the building or (ii) (a) at least 90 percent of the users of the indoor shooting range are law-enforcement officers, as defined in § 9.1-101, or federal law-enforcement officers, (b) the indoor shooting range maintains a log of each user's name, phone number, address, and the law-enforcement agency where such user is employed, and (c) the indoor shooting range verifies each user's identity and address by requiring all users to present a government-issued photo-identification card. Is this saying that shooting ranges are fine for anyone if fewer than 50 employees work in the building? I'm really confused by what this is supposed to accomplish.

Feels weird to me I guess, never been to Virginia but in Kentucky it seemed like all the ranges were standalone buildings that were outside urban areas (zoning and property values trump the 2nd amendment you see)

Airplane mode still lets you have WiFi and Bluetooth on. Modern phones periodically use both of those radios if they’re not explicitly disabled and I’d imagine that’s incredibly useful SIGINT.

I’m really surprised they were allowing flights at that time. Since it’s the wildest timeline I’m half expecting something absurd like that valujet flight that went down in flames because they loaded a bunch of oxygen canisters next to the wheel well.

BUG JUG posted:Forum current event: what the gently caress is going on with CSPAM? Write your reply in the form of a brief the CiC can understand. A nazi was modding D&D and was banning some CSPAM posters. Several posters got discord logs/screen shots of the nazi saying nazi things on the nazi discord. These people were permabanned for "doxxing" and "mod sass". The nazi mod eventually put up this "defense" which was basically that they were totally an undercover spy guys, all the nazi stuff was just ironic to fit in. Because you know, you can't just idle and lurk on a discord for forever. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3909802

Internet Wizard posted:As someone who was a member of the intelligence community in 2016, get the hell out of here with this “Russia did nothing wrong” poo poo Of course they tried to exert their influence. And hell, they even had some successes, the largest of which is probably taking over the NRA. The core point however is that if you can assign any "blame" to Russia for Hillary losing it has to be some minuscule fraction of a percent at fault. The responsibility for that election cannot be placed with Russia.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Honestly I feel that the problem with the 2016 election for the dems was that it was so close, any individual factor could have been the turning point - which has allowed people to pick and choose what they think was the real reason why Hillary lost. Russia, Comey, 'Bernie Bros', the campaign's strategy in the Midwest (or lack thereof), Clinton's personal likeability, emailghazi, trade policy, racism... flip any one of these individual factors and more likely than not, Clinton wins. Had she lost by more, we may have seen a deeper level of introspection. But instead, we get constant re-litigation over issues that still exist and are getting worse, because everyone thinks it's someone else's fault. If you want to give one proximate cause that is counterintelligence related then go with Comey's announcement in the last 2 weeks. Theres a lot of evidence in elections that only the last 2 weeks of tv ads and news stories really "work" as far as people making the decision whether to vote and who to vote for. However, you can also point out that Hillary did not campaign in any of those states that went Trump that were critical (Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania) in the last 2 months, let alone last 2 weeks. Bernie actually was doing multiple events per day for Hillary in those states in the lead up to the election and thats one of the reasons that "berniebros" are furious with the party insiders that blame Bernie for her loss.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:As much as Russia did meddle in the 2016 elections, does the US really have a leg to stand on here? There are probably more third world elections the US meddled in than we didn't over the last half century or so. Iraq and Afghanistan are still only nominally democratic US client states in a lot of ways. We clearly chose sides in Iran, Egypt, Bahrain, for the autocratic side in the latter couple of cases. And let's not even get into the dozens of direct coups we have sponsored or supported. Was it "democracy" that the CIA or DoD or someone officially defined as "aligned with US interests"?

Internet Wizard posted:Bernie straight up denying that he told Liz that he didn’t think a woman could win looks really bad when everybody else is saying that conversation did happen. He should’ve said yes he said that but what he MEANT was blah blah and contextualized it It was a private conversation. The "confirmation" is asking 4 different people Warren told the same story to. Its a pretty strong indictment of what passes as media research today.

A Bad Poster posted:I think the intent of it was that being a convicted criminal does not take away your right to vote. Really nothing should aside from being incapable mentally, or denouncing citizenship. They include people in prisons on the census. quote:No. 4 Constitutional Amendment Article VI, Section 4. Voting Restoration Amendment This amendment restores the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole or probation. The amendment would not apply to those convicted of murder or sexual offenses, who would continue to be permanently barred from voting unless the Governor and Cabinet vote to restore their voting rights on a case by case basis. "All terms of their sentence" is in what was voted on.
