    Please tell me you know Candace's history.

    She didn't believe any of this shit until she realized that people like you REALLY, REALLY like a black person who says things they agree with, and used that to become famous.  She's following the Dershowitz playbook and laughing all the way to be bank because you stupid motherfuckers can't see through it.

    Why would you resort to slander instead of attacking her argument?

    To the other posters who aren't obvious trolls... It's not exaggerated at all. There are a lot of otherwise intelligent people that have turned their brain off and believe this. They'll believe the next ridiculous scam too. This shit doesn't get traction if it's just Cletus from Alabama following it on their intertron machine. You are hearing about it now, because a sizable percentage of our population believes this to be true.

     

     

     

    I haven't seen anyone promoting the Q conspiracy shit on this board and personally don't know anyone who believes in it.  I think it's roughly the size of the flat earthers or at most 9-11 conspiracy nutjobs.  There is probably substantial overlap.  It's the fringe, not the base that is promoting this stuff.

    Now if you want to talk about a large segment of the population that has turned their brain off, look at the Russia conspiracy nonsense.

    And at this point, 4chan trolls know perfectly well that they're performing for an audience of journalists and boomers who don't understand the weirder corners of the internet. 

    I think this perfectly sums up what Q really is. 

    I think the numbers of Q believers is exaggerated.

    Why don't we start small like getting rid of loopholes and tax shelters?

    This is what the article says:

    Apple set up some Irish subsidiaries a mere four years after it was founded. Foreign sales, which account for 60% of Apple’s profits, are routed through these Irish subsidiaries and taxed nowhere. How is this possible, when the intellectual property that supports the value of Apple’s products is in the United States?

     

     

    Like I indicated earlier, they only refrain from paying income taxes on income/EBITDA generated in foreign countries and that too when kept in foreign countries. 

    The US is one of the few countries out there that actually try to claim taxes on earnings made overseas.  For example, an Italian, German or Canadian working in France would only pay taxes in France while a US citizen working in France would be taxed by France and the US.  You can write off quite a bit though.

  5. Let's set the record straight on one thing.  It wasn't simply that Gunn made a joke about Pedos.  It's that he was making those jokes back and forth with his buddy Huston Huddleston.  Huddleston just plead guilty to possession of child porn.

    So that's why those old tweets are getting brought up now.  It's also wrangling in the Rick and Morty creators.  I've been a fan of that show and it kind of makes me sick because it totally makes sense in hindsight.

    The funny thing is that Al Gore is still 6 years younger than Bernie and 2 younger than Trump and the same age as Hillary.  He ran in 2000. They ran in 2016. Dems need someone the age of Obama or Gore when they ran. 

    Dems need someone like Gore ASAP.  I would gladly vote Gore to restore the balance alone and I think he'd be a better President than Bush/Obama.  It would also pull the party away from this flirting with overt socialism stunt and that would be a good thing.  Going too far left really weakens the party and by extension the entire US government.

    You are missing the point. There were known and admitted trolls violating the rules of the board. Registered multiple usernames specifically to troll. Other posters were negging their posts so they could no longer post.

    You were trying to keep them alive because instead of thinking you just reflexively assumed that they were being negged for their political positions versus the reality that they were being negged for being trolls.

    It's kind of hard to tell why people are actually getting negged.  I've been negged 3 times in this discussion by Horn Under a Bad Sign for engaging in this discussion with you.  I am sure it has everything to do with the content of each of my posts right?

    Also.. if someone is trolling, negging them doesn't fix the problem.  They just come back even more determined.

    According to CBS poll, only 21% of Republicans disapprove of how Trump handled the Putin summit.  Torbush.

    More importantly...  The American public doesn't give a shit about this Russia nonsense.

  10. Back on topic...

    I'm curious how anyone can sit here and say our intel community is totally awesome given recent history which includes providing bad intel that lead us to invade Iraq.  The death toll from that fuck up is pretty awful.  Even if you don't get into most recent incidents, it's hard to argue that wasn't a huge knock against the credibility of our intelligence agencies.

    Did everyone completely forget about that or has the decision been made to ignore it?

    You can do better than using your sock UdayDanceParty to upvote your posts.

    Or maybe you can't.

     

    I will upvote his posts simply because you are acting like a moron. 

    He has a different opinion, deal with it.

    Uh, you obviously haven't ignored them considering you have to see their posts to rep them.

    Maybe I am missing something but when I block someone and they get banned, when they come back in 15 minutes their new screen name is not blocked.  I'm not spending all day on this board so I will admit I'm ignorant about how that works.  I also don't follow posters from board to board trying to figure out if I agree with them on every topic or what they said in X thread.

    And yes.. I've definitely blocked some unhinged individuals. 

    If you want to keep running in circles, by all means, keep doing it.  I believe my way is much less stressful though.

    Maybe you should take a moment to self reflect on why you are trying to keep admitted trolls who registered four usernames on the same day specifically because they intended to troll alive. 

    The sock problem takes care of itself if you just mute them.  I've said this repeatedly.  I've ignored the unhinged posters on here and it's made things much more pleasant.

    People troll to get a response.  I've only mass up voted people when I think they are getting picked on.

    It's pretty instructive to look at reputation points.  Look at the poster UDayDanceParty's reputation. 

    The poster "Annie"  gave the poster UDayDanceParty five upvotes in two minutes time on four different boards on Monday, from 9:43 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.  I suppose it's possible that Annie just thinks that UdayDanceParty is brilliant beyond belief, but my guess is that they are the same person.  Then Annie was banned from the board.   

    Look at Clob94's reputation.  The poster UdayDanceParty has given  Clob94  11 upvotes in the past 11 hours, oftentimes within a minute or two after Clob94 posted.   Again, UDayDanceParty may think that Clob94 is the most brilliant poster ever.  But my guess is that the only reason UDayDanceParty is giving Clob94 upvotes is to inoculate Clob94 against downvotes.  

    I wish there was some way to stop the bullshit. One way might be to make it so that, if somebody gets banned by the board, all their upvotes get removed from people's reputation points. 

     

    Okay Jessica Fletcher, so I guess next you are going to claim you think both are my socks. 

    We instituted the option of banning people based on rep and it's resulted in certain posters acting like kindergartners.

    People like brian fantana (and others) can unload 10+ negs a day on a single person and do it on a regular basis.  Not a peep from you because he's on your team.   In response, people on the other team, +rep those posters to prevent them from getting banned simply for having a different opinion.  And you seem to have a problem with that?

    Keep in mind that some posters on here know eachother IRL and are willing to "inoculate" those they believe are being cyber-bullied.  If that really bothers you, maybe you need to take a moment to self reflect why that is...

    Fucking shit, the IC and the “witch hunt” which has only laid out a couple dozen indictments and isn’t focused on Trump ARE NOT THE SAME.  

    Best not to cite the indictment of foreign nationals that have zero reason to ever respond to them.  The last time Mueller did that they actually showed up and he was so unprepared that he begged the court for more time.

    I think we give the Russians far too much credit.  In terms of coordination, amount of resources, methods, production quality, willingness and ability to manipulate, domestic & global reach, and every other factor that is relevant to influence and manipulate public opinion, we are far superior to the Russians across the board.  Would you go to a Russian advertising agency to create advertisements for the American public?  The fact is that Russian media does not even come close to ours in terms of sophistication, tactics, or production quality.  Even if we limit to just the internet,  have you ever seen a Russian troll be very effective or convincing?  Have you seen them effectively influence a group or are they more or less pretty pathetic and non-convincing?  Now compare them to American based astroturfers and influencers; they are more difficult to spot and far more effective overall.  

     

     

    I think it's much more likely that the troll farms were private parties in Russia acting in their own self interest.  That's why they weren't concerned with covering their tracks.

    Interesting point but what if Russia is coopting our own PR machines? Like Fox News, which is very, very effective. I think before all is said and done, there will be a connection established between Murdoch and Putin. 

    If Putin is the mastermind you are making him out to be, you wouldn't be seeing it all figured out by the 6 degrees of Putin crowd.

    The reality is that both states and private special interests have always exerted their influence on our media.  It's usually not a controlling relationship but rather a situation where they share common goals.  

    Republicans/Fox/Russia  having favorable opinions of Trump.  While Democrats/CNN/Iran/China much preferred Clinton.  Even within the EU, you have different countries having a different preference.  Italy/Poland prefer Trump in general.  France/Germany preferred Clinton.  Britain is pretty much split based on #Brexit lines.

    Everyone has different reasons for having their preference and it doesn't mean that there is some grand conspiracy.  Putin flat out said he didn't want Clinton because he was worried it would hurt relations.  Well if his goal was to improve relations, I think his master plan failed miserably.

    Not my wife but someone’s wife.  Figured that still applies.  

    Im playing golf this evening at Crystal Falls (Leander).  Hole #6 has a pretty big downslope and you can’t see about 40% of the fairway from the tee box.  I know there isn’t anyone playing in front of me so i go ahead and tee off.  I drive down the hill and notice there is a woman WALKING WITH HER BABY STROLLER ON THE CART PATH.  I stopped and let her know there are still people playing and she needs to be careful as she was walking right in the landing zone (my ball landed about 20 ft from her).  She proceeds to tell me she does this all the time and has never had an issue.  Also mentions that I need to be aware that people use the course for reasons other than golf...
