I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

Congress doesn't need the rule change to do the first thing.

I need to get some congress connections so I can threaten these Patent examiners.

I know I attacked you for linking to your blog cites, and encouraged you to make original content, but you do need to let us know what the fuck you are talking about.

Boy, there's just no winning with you. Trump tweeted a threat to Toyota for making cars in Mexico.

We just started watching "Man in the High Castle." Not so agreeable to Japanese "investment" here at the moment.

Usually I leave the funk to the expert here, but spent last night enjoying some classic swiss zen funk and thought I'd share. They're heading from here to NYC.

Yes. MC5. Listen to their live records. The lack of cohesion makes early Black Flag sound like it was produced by Phil Spector.

Stooges were more traditional, but still punk.

The rest of us live in a world where things can have more than one cause. Maybe Hillary lost because she did things wrong AND because the media did a shitty job AND because James Comey is an ass AND because Russia was doing what it could to get a friend elected. The margin was super-close -- all of these things could have been material, and probably were.

That's a fair quibble. So let's quibble. Those fake facts were a drip in a waterfall of other facts. You do not want to get into an argument of degree here, as it's almost the entire Wikileaks dump of 40k plus (Podesta alone) emails versus a handful of doctored emails.

And I never said there weren't multiple causes. That's your strawman. I agree there were multiple causes. I just highlighted Hillary's shitty campaign as a primary one. But yes -- the shittiness of her campaign far, far outweighed the impact of Russian hacking. And yes, her aggrieved supporters are now trying to blame a disproportionate amount of the loss on Russia, which makes them look like clowns.

This response is total bullshit. I'm not going play this game of "show me" with you every time. The paper was nearly 100% in the bag for Hillary from the start. You can find endless criticisms of its bias with cites to its slanted articles from a simple google search.

This whole exchange is total ferret shit. Calm down. Fuck you.

I think it absolutely made a difference. What did it do? Again, this "show me" shit is irritating. You have google. But here's just a taste: http://nypost.com/2016/07/22/leaked-...rewed-sanders/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0b3bb4b0800bd

How did it impact Bernie? Well, of course, no one can empirically measure that. But he lost. And he lost in a close race. And so applying the same logic on which you conclude Hillary would've won but for Russia, Comey, and media attention to her emails, I can say with exactly the same level of credibility, but for the DNC working against him and for Clinton, Bernie'd have gotten the nomination.

Yeah, this is a great investigation right here, with excellent DNC cooperation: https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/05/...ss-to-servers/
