Tiberius Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 No kidding?!? A new study from the Oxford Internet Institute concluded that Trump supporters are more likely to share “ideologically extreme, conspiratorial, sensationalist and phony information” on social media. Although the study found that “junk” news was available on both sides of the American political aisle, supporters of Donald Trump were more prone to sharing posts from the non-mainstream outlets on Twitter and Facebook. Lead researcher Philip Howard told McClatchy that the results suggest that “a small chunk of the population isn’t able to talk politics or share ideas in a sensible way with the rest of the population.” Howard went on to say that the fake news environment was contributing to the country’s increasing polarization.

Cinga Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 And it takes more oil to make ethanol than we get in return. Farming and transporting as well as converting the corn.... But even worse, why the hell are we wasting good farmland for this asinine scheme while we could be you know, growing FOOD and feeding starving people?

This is damning stuff. And we're STILL in the opening phase of this roll out. 1
Deranged Rhino Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 Update on the batting order: Grassley just drove a 3-1 pitch off the wall, Nunes walks to third. Goodlatte at the plate with IG Horowitz on deck.
Deranged Rhino Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 2 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: Grassley's memo is now (partially) unredacted... https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-02-06 CEG LG to DOJ FBI (Unclassified Steele Referral).pdf Page 7 - second to last paragraph, last sentence - lays out what Grassley is really up to. It's what I expected, and noted in previous Grassley posts: Quote "Thus, the FISA applications are either materially false in claiming that Mr. Steele said he did not provide dossier information to the press prior to October 2016, or Mr. Steele made materially false statements to the FBI when he claimed he only provided the dossier information to his business partner and the FBI." (One more bit, next paragraph) Quote "Mr. Steele's information formed a significant portion of the FBI's warrant application, and the FISA application relied more heavily on Steele's credibility than on any independent verification or coororation for his claims. Thus the basis for the warrant authorizing surveillance on a U.S. citizen rests largely on Mr. Steele's credibility." Grassley is calling the FBI's bluff. Grassley knows elements within the FBI and DOJ were coordinating with Steele and Simpson to bolster the dossier in the press. He knows this because he's seen evidence from the upcoming IG report. We've seen some of this evidence already in the released texts and various other documentation. Enough to know at the very least Bruce Ohr, his wife, some still unknown at the State Department (still redacted though it's assumed to be Winer) were helping feed both Steele and the FBI while knowing in turn Simpson and Steele were feeding the media. By posing this question, and framing it in this way, he's calling the FBI out directly to either admit the entire pretext for the Page Title I FISA warrant was concocted with help from the DOJ and FBI or go on the record as saying Steele lied to them. He KNOWS they can't say the latter because Wray and others have seen parts (if not all) of the IG report as well. We know this because it's what lead to McCabe's forced resignation the other week. One last bit from the memo. Grassley spells it out directly: Quote "The Department of Justice has a responsibility to determine whether Mr. Steele provided false information to the FBI and whether the FBI's representations to the court were in error." This is going to keep getting bigger. 2 2

3rdnlng Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 No thinking conservative wants to give the partisan Schiffslls any excuse to claim a cover up of the Trump/collusion investigation. Even though it appears that the basis for the investigation was trumped up by the Clinton crime family illegal shenanigans let the investigation complete its course. Don't let the shills off the hook by giving them a reason to cry cover up.

You are seriously arguing that Clinton is behind the Russia investigation? Why didn't she just do something before the election to throw it?

I know what DR promised... I'm not sure they "under-delivered," as much as they and everyone else over-hyped the ever-lovin' **** out of the thing. (I still think the Democrats' best move would have been to say "Go ahead, release it. It's nonsense." Fighting it tooth and nail like they did gave it way more credence than it deserved.)

She did campaign in swing states. Before the FBI--yes the same FBI you losers say is working for Clinton--came out and said they were investigating Clinton, she was trying to turn Arizona and blue, and the she was in Pa, Fl and Ohio.
