That said, even if the emails were "leaked" (the word is "leaked" not "hacked") by Russians, then who cares? Why isn't the issue what exactly is *in* the emails? "Hacking" implies that somebody modified something to say something it wasn't intended to. All of this is just leaked crap that the DNC spewed for years and years.by Jib - OT Board

You're not a simple conduit if you can use critical thought processes and can also understand that nearly every piece of information provided to you via any type of media arrives with some level of bias attached whether it's intended or not. Most of the smarter people like who are on this forum understand this for the most part I'm sure. More information is fine, as long as theby Jib - OT Board
Conceding that we're probably somewhere between: we've nudged the needle only very slightly if at all ourselves, or, we've made a small non-significant nudge toward hotter and that even we need to slow down or we're doomed in 1000 years.

QuoteQuas The platforms don't have a real desire to play thought police. It costs them resources to do and doesn't bring in revenue (in fact it cuts off sources of it).

Interesting. That actually makes sense. It's almost like you guys don't want folks to scam the system over there. Also, what does it mean that the passports "get upgraded when we reach 40"? Do you get to join some special club and get more benefits?by Jib - OT Board
My father-in-law is ex-marine (well, marine, I think you're always a marine from what I gather), and tough as nails.

They missed pretty much the entire outcome of what is happening. And the reason is mostly because they had this message they wanted to jam down our throats, day in , and day out. Now, on to the self-censoring of distribution platforms I have a couple theories: 1) This is a ploy by the mainstream media in a last ditch effort to save their asses (believe it or not, many people are beginningby Jib - OT Board
Sure, they may filter out actual false news, but in reality it gives them more power to try and tell us what is actual news and what isn't. If they really want to do it right they filter out CNN and Fox and all that crap along with the false websites from Estonia or wherever.by Jib - OT Board

Naw, it's not anywhere near that point. It's just that it's been 8 years since we've last had a major change so there are a bunch of under-25 year-olds throwing tantrums about the process who have essentially never seen something like it before with adult eyes. And that's a lot of the demographic you see being loud on the internet and in the streets. Since the voteby Jib - OT Board

I haven't been to the polls in years-- only sent in via mail. Can anyone just go up and vote, even if not registered now?

I think he's going to be more reasonable than most skeptics (i.e. 50%+ of America) think, and, the expectations have been set so low that it won't be difficult to pull off. Plus he was smart to put Pence as VP so that's our fallback if he is impeached. Nobody on either side wants that. That said, if he does do something crazy, then impeach his ass.

The thing is, you have to dig yourself, and pretty much ignore the mainstream media reports on things in order to get any real info-- because make no mistake, it will never, ever get reported in today's media.
