Originally posted by creekster View PostI feel like we are talking past each other. I agree that it is news. I agree that it must be discussed and analyzed. But that can all take place in an adult fashion, giving proper weight to actual evidence and arguments, without adopting the 13 yo style we both apparently dislike. This is more obvious on topics dealing with the Russian investigation, but applies everywhere.Last edited by BlueK; 02-13-2018, 11:22 AM.

I mean, they couldn't even tolerate George Will when he had a contrasting opinion, and he is like the poster boy of tempered, sane discussion. Am I wrong?"I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

All of the Above.
No doubt about it.We all trust our own unorthodoxies.

Originally posted by BlueK View PostI mostly don't. I read articles sometimes from their site. When they get particularly crazy, like their hosts equating the FBI with organized crime and saying members of Mueller's team should be arrested and sent to jail for basically just doing their jobs, it's kind of hard to avoid when other outlets show those clips and comment. To say it's mostly just the fault of the anti-Trumps who are overreacting to Trump's clown show, just doesn't square with my view of reality. Trump is the President, so his behavior is news and it does matter, especially when it comes to national security. I sense that to Trump's cult following, which includes Fox and the far-right Breitbart types, ANY disagreement with anything Trump says or does is equated with "hysteria.""There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I also refuse to read anything from BuzzFeed because all they used to have were slideshows designed to generate clicks. That still may be the case.

I think there's a weird segment of the right wing that for whatever odd reason really like Russia and have no problem with the idea that they'd be messing in our elections. I used to work with someone like that. He wasn't Russian but he was evangelical and would talk about how they're becoming a "Christian nation." I think a lot of it was their strong anti-gay laws since this guy is also very anti-gay. Naturally he is also a big Trump fan as well. The only Russians I know who live in America are not fond of Putin though. Go figure.
Most of the rest of conservatives I think really aren't paying much attention to the story.Last edited by BlueK; 02-14-2018, 11:16 AM.

Of course they are attempting to meddle. They don't like us. We are a threat to their international ambitions - a geopolitical foe, if you will. It is our job to have systems in place that will prevent their attempts from having any effect. I'm not shocked that they're trying to attack our system. I just want each jurisdiction to have systems and audit trails that protect the integrity of the vote as well as ballot privacy.
