Question of the Day, Jan 5
In light of all the fake news about Russians hacking the election, the question is, if a source reveals a series of crimes and misdeeds going on by a party or group, do you care who the source is?
What are you talking about? Oh, you mean like the CONTENT of all the emails (HRC, DNC, Podesta, Etc)…..naw, NOBODY mentions THAT stuff anymore.
YES, so the source can be considered a hero to society.
So long as the content is legit I don’t care if it’s martians, some guy in his mom’s basement, an SJW, the KGB or Wikileaks.
Wikileaks has a better track record than the US Govt so in this case the answer is a resounding f*ck no, I don’t care.
I don’t care either. I damn sure wouldn’t be defending anyone if this kind of thing came out. Shady shit deserves to see the light of day. This kind of thing could be a powerful motivator. Hopefully seeing the aftermath of this shitshow will serve as a constant reminder. You will get caught, eventually, if you engage in this kind of nefarious behavior.
Did liberals give a shit that the Pentagon Papers were stolen? Of course not. Facts are facts.
But did you really have to show pictures of Hilloser, DWS and the Blind Buffalo? Damn! At this age hardons are tough enough to come by. Have mercy.
Assange: hero. At a minimum, truth-teller.
Isn’t it funny that not one motherfucker in the media has asked Hillary point blank about being given debate questions ahead of time. There’s a thousand more wikileak revelations that could be made into good investigative reporting. Media sucks donkey balls, and everyone knows it.
If it was the Russians and they were dishing up some dirt on Trump do you think they would have been this concerned? Didn’t think so.
If you want a real picture of what these losers think about telling the truth just look at the picture of Hildabeast above. The Honorable? Yeah right.
No. Tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may.
I don’t care who tells the truth, I care that the truth is being told.
Ann attitude I’m sure is not shared by those that recoil from the truth the way a vampire recoils from the cross.
Nope, not one bit. The reason is that a criminal under one administration or regime is a hero in another. Think the American colonists. What the founding fathers did to the British crown was punishable by death. Thus, they were criminals, however they exposed and rebelled against authoritarian monarchy control to create a republic.
Remember, the definition of criminal in many cases depends on who has the authority, not necessarily on whom is righteous.
As long as the info is accurate and does not endanger the lives of people who are on our team I don’t care what the source is.
Do I care who the source is?
Fuck and No!
They’ll use Wikileaks for mass deception eventually:
How about James Mother Fucker Clapper at the Senate today, some serious Twilight Zone shit there. I mean this asshole swore on the bible and then lied through his teeth to the Senate before, and now he expects to be taken seriously. Fuck him and the rest of them for letting him anywhere near the place.
Clear evidence of how far our institutions have fallen.
We only know because an unauthorized ‘source’, Snowden, informed us of his absolute lies.
So for QOTD, do I care if I get info from unauthorized sources?
HAhahahahahahahahahahaha, yeah I care, its the only sources I have an inkling of trust in.
What is up with the 14 and the fish on Podestas hands?
Why, he went fishin’ and a buddy emailed him and asked how they did. Of course you believe this and BTW I got a bridge…
Assange,hero.
Almost the definition of a hero.
1) I do not care about the source
2) I do not believe we can make hacking legal. The hackers do not discriminate in what they hack.
NSA has Hellerys emails. They are using them to blackmail her.
Assange is a hero because he brought us the truth. Snowden and Manning did likewise. We need many more of them. They’re the modern-day Patriots.
Only the Useful Idiots give a shit about the Democrats witch hunt for the real killer (their designated usual suspect is Russia in this hacking case). It’s a leftist tactic to accuse the victim of some offense even if it’s a fabricated lie to bias the jury and get attention off the actual criminal and crime. And if the MSM ignores the actual crimes (that were exposed by whoever) by dwelling incessantly on the “red herring” Russians (you know their routine: trust US experts, the weapons of mass destruction are there somewhere somehow so we must destroy Iraq); the whole purpose is to obfuscate the Democrats crimes and delay delay delay until some other crisis comes up and the public never learns the truth and finally gives up on the actual crimes and criminals. It all gets swept into the Warren Commission Report, the Waco and Twin Towers Hearings etc dust bin of Closed Cases.
I know Vodka is going to say I like eating crow. The Republicans are going to be eating it in spades.
The Putin put to place il pagliaccio in the presidency is paying off.
The Republican’ts will have to reverse themselves and confess, like Palin, that spies are good for the country, the Ruskies are our friends and crashing the economy is a worthwhile goal for a president to pursue in his first 100 days.
Assange might make a good Supreme Court nominee, am I getting ahead of Trump’s tweet?
Hmm, if spies are now good, intelligence agents like SSS must now be bad.
Hey Maggie, how long before you or somebody steals my Putin put?
EC,
I never would have made the “eating crow” remark if I knew it was going to so vex you. TBP comment threads have always been a biker-bar, not an Applebees on a Tuesday.
I’m too tired to respond much tonight but did you notice that the main counter-espionage agency (the FBI) wasn’t invited today? I wonder why? Comey’s thoughts on matters obviously didn’t align with the preferred narrative.
Peace, my friend. You’re gonna love the coming MAGA program.
Nothing vexes me except stupid jokes where the punchline is California or Mexico. I just wanted to give you credit.
Trump is the gift that keeps on giving. His presidency, even in its nascent stage is shaping up to be a doozy, it is as if America had elected an Ignacius J. Reilly.
Iska thinks I hate Trump but I have enjoyed some imaginative moments in my car where I indulge the strangest of ideas. One such idea could be titled Tyranny by Tweet. I haven’t skipped old Melania the Alien Faced.
Folks got the wrong idea with my Trumpie Tweets parody. Maybe I will do a more positive parody.
Cheers, Vodka!
Assange, Snowden, Putin – Heroes to the middle class
The only politically involved person shown with any credibility is Assange . The rest are all hacks full of shit and have proven so
I’m beginning to sense a pattern worth noting.
To the power structure, the truth is The Narrative. They tell a parable-like story of the world they inhabit and that serves them as the blueprint for whatever advances their plans. If something comes along that contradicts it- facts, data, reality- those things are the problem, not The Narrative. The Narrative is a bigger more important truth than actual details.
To those without power, The Truth is the great leveler. It doesn’t matter if the elites have good intentions or are evil because what they are doing flies in the face of reality. Their motive is secondary to facts.
I look at what has happened to agriculture as an example of these opposing world views. In the post WWII era The Narrative became “America shouldn’t have to spend as much labor or money on providing food for their families but concentrate on more important things like participating in industry” so the Department of Agriculture did everything in their power to shift Americans away from providing sustenance for their families by industrializing food production. The costs were lower at the checkout, but that’s because they were shifted over to subsidies, thus you paid just as much, only through increased taxes. The food isn’t the same because all we have to do is look at Americans today versus then and see that we’re fatter, have more diet-related illness, pay more for health care, have depleted soils and poor water quality, spend less time gathered together as families providing for our sustenance in the garden, in the kitchen, at the table and spend more time atomized, eating alone in cars and cubicles and bedrooms.
The Narrative- the bigger “Truth”- is propped up by a hundred smaller fictions and thus becomes an Emperor’s New Clothes type of outcome.
The Narrative is that we are the good guys and they are the bad guys so wherever it comes down to any story- even if it details rampant corruption and criminality within our own political classes- the details are irrelevant to the bigger picture of “but is was the Russians!”
@Hsf,
The Narrative!
I love it! What you say can be applied to near any situation in modern life that bureaucratic processes have shaped or designed, which I would say is every aspect of modern industrialized societies.
The source of factual, verifiable evidence should be considered when weighing the validity of the evidence but shouldn’t dictate whether we ignore the evidence or not!
For example, the Chandra Levy case comes to mind in light of recent developments that the jail house snitch testimony that was used to convict the guy who still sits in prison for her murder has been found to have been fabricated so the snitch could get his own sentence reduction.
