Deranged Rhino

It's all going to come out.

Yeah, it's 50/50 right now but trending the right way (per the last I saw). I guess the issue isn't over the launch site, but the Atlantic where they'd need to splashdown/be recovered should they need to.

Buckle up...

They had a preference -- for chaos 1, and Clinton 2. Think it through. Why would they prefer Trump (we know for a fact now there was no collusion/blackmail reasons to want him) who was a complete wildcard and unknown over Clinton, a person they already worked well with for many years? Then there's the record while in office. Everything Trump's done since being elected has been against Russia's geopolitical goals both long term and short. He cratered their economy by making the US energy independent, he literally ordered the destruction of 200+ Russian mercenaries in Syria, and he's re-armed NATO and the US military.

This isn't a gaffe -- it's honesty

3:30 and counting til the launch. Should be a good show.

And what if the "market" decides that it will censor and ban certain information, while supporting/elevating other information? I presume, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that your personal values and principles (which are left of center/liberal leaning) value the protection of freedom of thought and expression above most all else. History shows us that nothing is more fundamental to not only advancing society, but preserving civil liberties, civil rights for all people. Keeping people ignorant has long been a tool of oppression. I grant you that when it's a private board like TSW (as an example), that's not very problematic. SDS can, and should, run this board however he sees fit. But very few people, if any, rely on TSW as their primary source of information (for news, not Bills). However, Google as an example, is a different beast due to the omnipresence of its services and how intertwined it is with millions of people's consumption of information. If Google censors information, that has a tremendous ripple effect that filters down into actual media coverage and reporting, let alone individual news consumption. I'm not trying to be pedantic or trap you at all, sincerely. I've always enjoyed our interactions and your posts even when we disagree. This is an issue that goes well beyond any partisan lines.

Meaning what, in regards to information and speech?

He tries to throw the gun at you, but ends up hitting himself in the nuts instead.

What's the new reality in your mind?

Sanctions next.

We could, but that does nothing to address the issues from within our own borders. Plus, putting up barriers to information, regardless of its quality, seems deeply problematic to a country like ours which values free speech, expression, and thought.

Welcome to PPP.

He keeps underlining his passion for tyranny and fascism while thinking he's pushing hippy love. Because he's not bright enough to understand history, let alone spell his own name. He's a fascist, Joe. He's just too stupid to realize he is one.

Laser pointer. Again, Joe has a rock solid libel case to bring against Trump if he chooses. Yet, he won't... why? He's afraid of discovery, because he knows -- and Trump knows -- that there's dirt here. And it's really bad.

You're talking to a man who spent a week down here posting CCP talking points as if they were his own. And a man who posted the literal mantra of every tyrant and dictator throughout history as if it were aspirational: He's not even smart enough to realize he's an idiot.
