You have GOT to be kidding me. I took his juvenile obviously false statement and said it straightforwardly about President Obama to show how fucking stupid it was. They both can fucking read you nimwit.

My apologies. Given your posting history I did not realize you were capable of treating anyone with respect and dignity and I jumped to conclusions.

You weren't wrong.

I feel like we were just talking about this yesterday. Everything you write before (and after) this statement doesn't matter - because now you're in the wrong. All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice.

Smoove_B wrote:Again, I can't comment on what others say to you - but if your response to what others say is to immediately jump to telling people to fuck off, etc... then I can guarantee nothing will change. You are very clearly a "I'll do it myself" type of person and normally that probably works out great. On a discussion forum? Not so much. Be nice.

Smutly wrote:So how many times have I told people to fuck off here? Any clue?

Is this a pattern of behavior with me?

Or just are you just saying that I'm the asshole because I'm mischaracterized by others?

Apology accepted, Archinerd.

Max, fuck off. I've been accused of saying things I didn't say (ala Papa Smurf exclaiming that I said I wanted HRC in jail) and being someone who I am not (a racist). I am not a racist nor have I ever been. I do more for underprivileged whites and blacks than most of you. I have friends of most races, creeds, and sexual orientations. While you broadly paint everyone with the racist brush, THIS should be a time for you to carefully consider what you thought was true. Just because people disagree with you, you fucking baby, doesn't mean they are homophobes, Islamaphobes, or whatever kind of -phobe you want to label others unfairly. Grow up.

Is that something you want to advertise? "Hey, the last time you turned over total control to us, it was immediately followed by the worst economic meltdown in our country's history!"

Of course, you might remember that Ann appears to have forgotten that the Republican Party was given total control more recently - from 2003-2006. Right before the second worst economic downturn in our history!

I could totally see Hillary pointing that out. Why is Ann pointing that out?

US President-elect Donald Trump has said his planned wall along the Mexican border could be partly fence. In some areas, "a wall is more appropriate", he told US broadcaster CBS, but "there could be some fencing"

People are complaining that focusing and reporting on Trump moderating his views is dangerous because it lulls people into a false sense of safety. What a load of crap!

At the end of the day, Trump's actions as President are what really matter. If he wants to moderate now, we should all be embracing that, regardless of whether we think he's actually a racist and a bigot and the antichrist.

I suppose one way to drain a swamp is to fill it with garbage and by all accounts that seems to be what's happening.

Cory Doctorow wrote: The Obama administration asserted the power to raid the massive databases of peoples' private, sensitive information that ad-based tech companies have assembled; the Trump administration has promised to use Obama's powers to effect the surveillance and deportation of 11 millions undocumented migrants, and the ongoing, continuous surveillance of people of Muslim heritage.

Companies like Google and Facebook have 67 days to minimize their data collection and retention before Trump is sworn in. That's 67 days during which they can take a hard, close look at how much of their data they actually need to do their jobs, and how much they're storing because hard drives are cheap and someone might have a cool idea down the line somewhere.

Dutch governments used their registers to record the homes of ethnic minorities in its border; these files could have been used by the Nazis to figure out which doors to break down. That's why, on 27 March 1943, the Dutch resistance set fire to the municipal records hall, why the firefighters who responded made sure that they kept watering the building long after the fire was out, destroying any records that survived.

What will Googlers and Facebookers tell their children in ten years when they ask about the databases that Trump asserted the right to raid?

President-elect Donald Trump is so disgusted with Chris Christie’s handling of the Bridgegate scandal that he’s kicking the New Jersey governor out of his inner circle, The Post has learned.

“Trump thought it was shameful that Christie didn’t take the fall for [convicted aide] Bridget Kelly,” said a source close to the transition team. “Trump is really angry that Christie is sending a soccer mom to jail. He believes 100 percent that Christie was behind it all.”

Christie’s former deputy chief of staff was convicted in federal court earlier this month along with former Port Authority executive Bill Baroni. They were charged with causing dangerous traffic tie-ups on the George Washington Bridge in September 2013 as political payback for Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich not endorsing Christie.

Kelly testified that Christie knew of the shutdown of several lanes of traffic, a charge Christie has repeatedly denied.

The former aides could face more than 20 years in jail.

“Trump really doesn’t like it when married women with kids get hurt in politics,” said the source. “Trump was pretty disgusted with Christie.”

Christie’s failure to take responsibility for Bridgegate was the final straw in an already eroding relationship, said a second source, who is close to the Trump campaign.

“She was a factor in the decision because Trump didn’t like seeing her crying,” the source said.

When Christie again denied all responsibility for Bridgegate in an interview with Charlie Rose on Monday, Trump’s frustration grew, the source said.

Tensions had been building for weeks between the two men, with some Trump insiders questioning Christie’s loyalty in the last month of the campaign, when it looked like Trump would lose.

Christie canceled appearances on Sunday shows after the Access Hollywood video of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women was leaked on Oct. 7, the source said. He also failed to attend the second debate, and canceled campaigning with Trump in the last weekend of the race, the source said.

Christie was formally pushed aside Friday as chair of Trump’s transition team and the job given to Vice President-elect Mike Pence. Tech billionaire and loyal Trump supporter Peter Thiel, also added to the team Friday, will have a leadership role, the first source told The Post. Christie retains a token title of vice chair but no real role going forward, sources said.
