"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I'm right there with you brother. Much ado about nothing... except when the Russians hacked our power grid (and C-SPAN).
You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay Almost everything you post is snarky, smug, condescending, or just downright mean-spirited. --Jeffrey Lebowski
Anyone can make war, but only the most courageous can make peace. --President Donald J. Trump You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war. --William Randolph Hearst
My t-shirt and mug suggest otherwise. Dude is a pimp!
OK, he may be slightly evil. Or very much so.
I once believed exactly as the Dude, but a close friend, an immigrant from the Ukraine, tried to shy me away from the pure evil perception. He's an opportunist, a nationalist, an FSB agent and dishonest. Yet he recommended that we need not treat him as "evil" and an "enemy" because he can be convinced to engage in Realpolitik. The guy knows Putin from an angle I don't, so it gives me pause for thought.
"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

Your friend sounds like a Commie and should be tried for treason. He probably loves fluoridated water too.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Listen, I am not condoning or commenting on the various conspiracy theories out there regarding Trump. I tend to disbelieve that Trump is in bed with the ruskies or that he is any kind of a puppet. But I wouldn't put anything past Putin. This is a guy who was willing to sacrifice the well-being and the future of thousands of Russian orphans, many of them in need of medical care, to score a cheap political point and protect corrupt Russian officials. He routinely poisons or otherwise executes his political enemies. There are countless examples. It would be like Tony Soprano being president of the US, except without that pesky constitution to worry about.

Which is exactly my point. When you are at the point that you will believe anything, you will be easily deceived (e.g. people shredders, baby incubators, et al).
Consider this... the new "normal" is that anyone that even speaks with a Russian Ambassador is under suspicion for treason. That is seriously fucked up.

I didn't say I believe everything I hear about Putin. I said that Putin is capable of just about anything. Takes a little nuance to parse that, but I am sure you can get it.

I'm enjoying the internet rumors that, in the wake of Trump declining to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner, Alec Baldwin will appear in the role of Trump. Won't happen, but it'd be immensely entertaining.

Sounds like eventually Trump's going to have us all believing we should help the Russians invade somewhere like Lithuania or Poland and nuke the Germans while we're at it.
