You do know one of Trump's campaign slogans is "drain the swamp," right? Do you have any idea what that refers to?
God you have such a crystal clear memory when it comes to pulling up posts about how people disagree with you but not when they agree with you. Of course I know what it was. The biggest application was him putting limits on congressional terms and creating a "black out" period for congressional members to lobby for foreign interests.
Also doesn't seem like he got far with that : http://www.npr.org/2017/04/26/525551816/trumps-efforts-to-drain-the-swamp-lagging-behind-his-campaign-rhetoric
That is aside the point.
Why not take a trek through my post history and find all the times I supported Trump BECAUSE he was the better option than Hillary.
Furthermore this issue with Winner isn't necessarily an administration issue but rather a light in a relatively dark place that you still refuse to acknowledge.
I'm not even sure what you are arguing anymore because you are going in circles. Feels like you are yelling, just to yell and establish dominance. No one is signing this issue off with Winner as fact nor are they saying immediate action needs to happen from it. We are taking it as it is.

Furthermore this issue with Winner isn't necessarily an administration issue but rather a light in a relatively dark place that you still refuse to acknowledge. Which is, what again? That the federal government is corrupt as hell? I thought I already stated as such. How can I refuse to acknowledge when I keep repeating what I just said?

No one is signing this issue off with Winner as fact nor are they saying immediate action needs to happen from it. We are taking it as it is. This, my friends, is what is called "projection."
See, eliroo is projecting his own style of debating against another (in this case, me) demeaning such behavior, with or without realizing that it is he who is doing such behavior.
Also, calling it now, another misuse of a logical fallacy to come from eliroo.

Quote: There is no hardcore public evidence as of yet tying the Russian government to the attacks on the DNC, and the facts presented by private security firms Crowdstrike and FireEye are by and large circumstantial.
Read your own links.
Here is the article about what was leaked. Actually even I was wrong this report indicates that the GRU set out the cyber attack and the wording of the report is extremely confident that it was done. It is not confident about whether it was successful or effected the election.
But it is OK, in your delusional world your initial thoughts are always right and can't be questioned. If you are wondering, that was an ad hominem.
Quote: Why are you defending her so much?
Please, get your glasses, where did I defend her?
Quote: But honestly, this type of act would have happened under any administration or with any job. She had access to information that was deemed private and she leaked it to a news source. We can call her a hero because we feel like she is championing our cause but in reality(lol) she mishandled information that she was entrusted.
All I said that if her leak provided insight on government corruption then she should be considered a whistle blower and have some form of protection, not that she should now.
Quote: If she was a whistle blower, she would have gone straight up the chain of command.
Yes because the chain of command is the right place to take evidence that could implicate them. If you did have information about our governments out right corruption, the media is the best place to take it because the people will hold our government accountable(Theoretically the people are the chain of command but that may be too hard for you to grasp).
By eliroo 2017-06-06 09:51:31
Ok, so you admit that you have no idea what it means. Got it.
I swear you are like an elevator that will never reach the top floor. I literally linked you an article that listed all the things I said, which are the same things Trump said when referencing how he would Drain the Swamp. He even had a promise that said those exact things on his webpage and mentioning draining the swamp there.
Not even going to bother responding to the rest of the garbage you posted.

But it is OK, in your delusional world your initial thoughts are always right and can't be questioned. If you are wondering, that was an ad hominem. So, wait, are you saying that it wasn't until May (when the intelligence report in question was issued) that these "intelligence" agencies figured out that Russians attacked voting machines (or, in Vic's case, "election software") when the rest of the nation knew that in January? Hell, the article I linked showed what we knew and when.
But hey, if you want to continue with the defense that our intelligence agencies are that stupid, by all means, go for it.
Please, get your glasses, where did I defend her? A little over an hour ago
2. This is why leakers will remain anonymous. They lose their jobs and go to jail. I think this is a two fold problem. Classified documents should be classified for the safety of the people, not to hide dirty secrets but if you are given access to classified documents then you should keep them classified.
In case you haven't figured it out yet, you tried to justify her actions. You even did it again less than an hour ago.
Seriously, do you even defend your own statements?
Yes because the chain of command is the right place to take evidence that could implicate them. If you did have information about our governments out right corruption, the media is the best place to take it because the people will hold our government accountable(Theoretically the people are the chain of command but that may be too hard for you to grasp). My mistake was to forget that whistleblower laws only effect private business, not government.
She still broke the law by releasing top secret classified material. She doesn't have the authority to do so.
But please, keep defending the actions of a criminal. It's always fun to watch.
I literally linked you an article that listed all the things I said, which are the same things Trump said when referencing how he would Drain the Swamp. From NPR? You do realize that "article" is 100% opinion, and 0% fact.
Hell, the link I showed even stated that Trump's goal was to make government honest again. You know, honesty is the antithesis of corruption.....
Not even going to bother responding to the rest of the garbage you posted. Ok Flavin.

Literally read what you quoted. Read the last few words. I know its hard and I know it may skew your narrative about what I said, but try. You can do it. I believe.

Who is the "we" here? The people or our Intelligence agencies? Because this is the first time that the general populace has some absurdness that there was an attempt. Before we have speculation.

The Articles links the Intercept articles that discusses what was mentioned in the leak and that is what I was referencing not the opinion pieces. Reading sources helps though. Aren't you the one that always goes on about that?
If the rest of your posted wasn't a lame attempt at a an ad hominem, I wouldn't have ignored it.

I have a filter that anything related to Russia I ignore. So about 90% of the posts.

The general public who receives information.
Great opening for an ad hominem attack though. I mean, it was pretty obvious.
Because this is the first time that the general populace has been assured that there was an attempt. Again, you don't even read the links I provide. But yet, you profess knowledge (or knowledge enough to respond to) in such subjects.
Go home eliroo, you're drunk.

Aren't you the one that always goes on about that? You keep proving that you don't know what Trump meant by shouting "drain the swamp" and you keep going roundabout in your own defense.
I'm starting to get dizzy by all of the circling that you are doing. It's like watching a Simpson's gif.

Let me put it to you this way Vic.
You committed wire fraud, a federal crime, but I do not need evidence to convict you of this crime, according to your own assertions.
Should I notify the FBI, or do you need a couple of hours to gather your stuff to get out of the country?
By Nausi 2017-06-06 10:24:38
"Hacked the election" is going to go down as the BIGGEST example of goalpost shifting in history.
From "Russia changed vote totals". To "someone in Russia made a phone call".

Probably a bit more nuanced than that.
If I was forced to vote this past election, I would have voted for Trump. I definitely don't think he is doing the best job and I think that he has contradicted himself several times. In general, I don't like many politicians. I think that Clinton would have been more corrupt and a lot less apparent and that scares me a lot more than Trump who is great at contradicting himself and admitting his corruption.
Quote: Great opening for an ad hominem attack though. I mean, it was pretty obvious.
That wasn't even an ad hominem, nor do I see how you would think it was. It was a legitmate question. You are saying "we" knew about it and then referenced the intelligence agencies where I was talking about the general populace. I'm lost at your conclusion here.
Quote: Again, you don't even read the links I provide. But yet, you profess knowledge (or knowledge enough to respond to) in such subjects.
I straight up cited the article you linked to disprove your statement. Maybe you didn't read what you posted?
Quote: You keep proving that you don't know what Trump meant by shouting "drain the swamp" and you keep going roundabout in your own defense
From left field, already disproved this point. So either you have no idea what he meant or you are just arguing a moot point to "win".
You can even got back to my post history about being optimistic when he mentioned how he would drain the swamp.
Quote: I have a filter that anything related to Russia I ignore. So about 90% of the posts.
Russia is an interesting topic. The far left want to treat them as enemies and the far right used to call people russians to insult them. I'm not sure what I think about them. If the government did try to influence our election then that would help formulate my opinion. I think that pre-election the left used them as a scare tactic to steer people away from the right. Really weird how the tables turned there. My recent post history my contradict that a bit, but only because there is a bit more building in regards to that and the truth is something we should aim for. Before I have expressed my resentment to the russian topic, especially during pre-election.
Not editing all of this enjoy the errors >_>

So, nothing new from KN. Like I said, he would spin his wheels.
In other news, Trump with another twitter tantrum this morning, talking about those Middle East cutting ties with Qatar and how its going to help end terrorism. Problem here, the United States hasn't cut ties with Qatar, in fact, we still have a huge base there. Thats gonna be awkward.

You are saying "we" knew about it and then referenced the intelligence agencies where I was talking about the general populace. I'm lost at your conclusion here. No, I mean that you gave a great opening.
I mean, I could have said the following:
Quote: The general public who receives information. Unfortunately, that precludes you, who try to stay away from any information at all.
I just didn't want to make an attempt at an obvious ad hominem attack, that's all.
I straight up cited the article you linked to disprove your statement. Maybe you didn't read what you posted? The NPR opinion piece? Yeah, I read it. It was very flawed, trying to take Trump's words literally instead of figuratively.
Hell, my own source did the same, but at least they admitted that Trump's meaning was "honest government" not "destruction of local ecosystems."
From left field, already disproved this point. So either you have no idea what he meant or you are just arguing a moot point to "win". You alluded that "drain the swamp" refers to Congress. It doesn't. It refers to government. Congress does the federal government not entirely compromise. You are only looking at 1 of the 3 branches.
It's in your own, very words.
