Secret communications with politicians that are covered, running stories about Fusion GPS without disclosing personal or business ties to Fusion GPS, and other sorts of material conflicts of interest.

This is actually perfectly legal as this substance is not scheduled. That person would also want to do substantial research on dosing, side effects and supplements to take that will mitigate those side effects.

Fair-weather riding is a luxury reserved for Sunday afternoons and wide boulevards.

This is a rider who loves the work.

About half way through the ride, I met another rider who was walking her bike and getting ready to call for the wagon. Together we made it to within 3 miles of the finish, where the ride got washed out due to thunderstorms, about 5 feet of visibility, and standing water on the roads.

Speaking of obsessional… good grief, these people are completely and utterly obsessed with Trump, and there is no talking point too vapid or substanceless to be trotted out as evidence of Trump’s unfitness and incompetence.

Wait- did that chicken ‘come home to roost’? What does Sugar Free know and when did he know it
So, is the Russia collusion thing basically a known fact now? I mean, collusion requires quid pro quo, and the only quo I’ve really seen batted around is having the White House ease sanctions, and the only real evidence provided is the meeting with the Russian Lawyer Chick that was given special permission by the Obama DOJ to enter the country. For that to be collusion with the Russian state, RLC has to be a representative for the Russian state.
Now, RLC is also known to have hired Fusion GPS, specifically in order to spread smears and propaganda to corrupt journalists assist in removing Russian sanctions. In other words, whatever corrupt shenanigans the Russians were pulling, Fusion GPS was acting as their agent. Which means that the Clinton campaign paid an American agent for Russia (Fusion) to use Russian intelligence sources to dig up dirt on the opposition. And the Obama administration (who gave special privileges to Fusion’s Russian handler) used that Russian-supplied opposition research to surveil the opposition and illegally leaked the results to attempt to undermine the transition of power.
R C Dean
on January 11, 2018 at 1:47 pm
the only quo I’ve really seen batted around is having the White House ease sanctions
Which is weird, seeing as Trump signed new sanction on Russia into law last year.
He’s also clearing the way for more oil exploration and drilling, which is absolutely the worst thing that could happen to Russia economically.
If you want to know what the quo for a Russian quid might look like, I would direct you to the Obama administration’s policies on oil, Russia relations, and the Middle East.
Dr. Fronkensteen
on January 11, 2018 at 2:00 pm
The thing is that Russia didn’t need to collude with Trump to interfere with the election. The e-mail hacks* didn’t need the Trump campaign to release the information. The Facebook adds were done on Russia’s own initiative. The only things Russia would need to collude with Trump on would be if the Russians lifted Hillary’s strategy with the e-mails and gave that to Trump, and there is no evidence that they did. Or to make it appear that there was collusion so they would have leverage over Trump. And if they had leverage over Hillary as well perhaps through Uranium One deal then from the Russian’s point of view it wouldn’t matter who won as they would have leverage over whoever won.

I’ve tried on both my home and work computers and my phone and it says “Profile Updated” but the avatar never changes.
I had a picture of my truck when I first signed up, but somehow it changed to this thing.
See SF’s 1:00 pm comment above.
But I’m not in Rochester
*Willfully misses the point*
Cruel – but hilarious.
Can you change your avatar or do you have the same problem.
Hmm… It let me change mine and you aren’t on any sort of provisional commenter list.
Log out and back in and try again. If there is still a problem, I’ll poke the sleeping bear of web admin.
Tried that before and did it just now, no luck.
It’s not a huge deal, just mildly annoying.
I think it’s because they hate you. Which would explain that article “73,440 Reasons Why We Hate Ron” that HM posted a little while back
I remember that now, it was definitely the Nick Gillespie of articles.
Careful you don’t complain too much, or you might find your avatar is a catbutt that only She Who Admins can change.
Couple possibilities – how large is the image file, and is it a .png, .gif, .jpg, or something else.
It’s a JPEG 4.23 MB 5312x 2988with 72 dpi resolution
That’s pretty huge. Might want to reduce the size a
bitlot.I took it down to 213×120 and got the same result.
Right under where you upload the avatar, what rating is selected? I remember mine having an issue until I told it that it’s G.
Maybe that’s it, mine has x checked, I’ll try that
Fixed, thanks
And that’s how the site keeps its family friendly rating… look at you trying to put up a rated X avatar.
I do think my truck is sexy
I love this: “the chicken cometh.” It’s very existential: why did the chicken cometh? will it return? what did it want?
Wait, is the chicken like Ancient Aliens?
If it’s the libertarian chicken isn’t the answer “None of your business, am I being detained?”
Did the chicken cometh? Or did it just wander in and back out again without any sort of, umm, release?
*narrows gaze*
Why did the chicken cometh?
Cause the
cockRooster was hitting all the right spotsFowl fact – roosters do not have the body part named after them.
Poor, emasculated birds.
“why did the chicken cometh? ”
So that the road could feel whole by being crossed.
It doesn’t matter whether that road was wearing concrete, blacktop or even stripped down to the bare dirt that does not mean it was just begging to be crossed
Because I’m stupid, and have no life, I have a Morning Joke replay on in the background. They started out by “lampooning” Donald Trump’s “obsession” with Hillary. The Joke Himself repeatedly hammered the Hillary-won-the-popular-vote thing. Needless to say, the Electoral College is a racist anachronism which must be abolished.
Speaking of obsessional… good grief, these people are completely and utterly obsessed with Trump, and there is no talking point too vapid or substanceless to be trotted out as evidence of Trump’s unfitness and incompetence. Boo hoo hoo Trump is destroying democracy and has ruined the Republican party for centuries to come.
*Scarborough is totally not a democratic socialist, he’s just a Republican driven in tears from his philosophical home.
This is probably not psychologically healthy. IANAP.
Wait- did that chicken ‘come home to roost’? What does Sugar Free know and when did he know it
The People demand answers!

Need moar duckface.
Being Rochester can be very comforting to people
That’s so racist.
So, is the Russia collusion thing basically a known fact now? I mean, collusion requires quid pro quo, and the only quo I’ve really seen batted around is having the White House ease sanctions, and the only real evidence provided is the meeting with the Russian Lawyer Chick that was given special permission by the Obama DOJ to enter the country. For that to be collusion with the Russian state, RLC has to be a representative for the Russian state.
Now, RLC is also known to have hired Fusion GPS, specifically in order to
spread smears and propaganda to corrupt journalistsassist in removing Russian sanctions. In other words, whatever corrupt shenanigans the Russians were pulling, Fusion GPS was acting as their agent. Which means that the Clinton campaign paid an American agent for Russia (Fusion) to use Russian intelligence sources to dig up dirt on the opposition. And the Obama administration (who gave special privileges to Fusion’s Russian handler) used that Russian-supplied opposition research to surveil the opposition and illegally leaked the results to attempt to undermine the transition of power.the only quo I’ve really seen batted around is having the White House ease sanctions
Which is weird, seeing as Trump signed new sanction on Russia into law last year.
He’s also clearing the way for more oil exploration and drilling, which is absolutely the worst thing that could happen to Russia economically.
If you want to know what the quo for a Russian quid might look like, I would direct you to the Obama administration’s policies on oil, Russia relations, and the Middle East.
The thing is that Russia didn’t need to collude with Trump to interfere with the election. The e-mail hacks* didn’t need the Trump campaign to release the information. The Facebook adds were done on Russia’s own initiative. The only things Russia would need to collude with Trump on would be if the Russians lifted Hillary’s strategy with the e-mails and gave that to Trump, and there is no evidence that they did. Or to make it appear that there was collusion so they would have leverage over Trump. And if they had leverage over Hillary as well perhaps through Uranium One deal then from the Russian’s point of view it wouldn’t matter who won as they would have leverage over whoever won.
*assuming the e-mail hacks were from the Russians.
Look at you, trying to be logical.
I don’t see how any of this results in Trump being removed from office.

I see the USA Hat arrived.
Fuck that guy.

Jim Acosta: Where did she get this from? This wasn’t on the list of talking points for the day?
Wolf Blitzer: My talking points just say “literally Hitler”
Jim Acosta: She’s a conspiracy theorist. Only Nazis want to stop government spying
One of the few true journalists left which is a shame.
little girl who started “shitty media men list” outs herself before Harper’s writer can out her. says she lost her job after creating the list. i’ve read elsewhere that her former employer TNR denied she lost her job because of the list. anyway, set the clock to 15 minutes. counting down 14:59.. 14:58..

Good chance that she gets more than 15 mins, given that libel cases take a while to put together.
Not to be like whatever, but wasn’t she treading awfully close to libelous grounds there? Assuming that it’s possible not every single entry on the spreadsheet is something that would stand up in a court of law, say?
Oh, yeah. Spreading false rumors is pretty much defamation, full stop.
I can’t imagine she is worth suing, though. But I also can’t imagine why anyone would hire her after that stunt.
It was a group effort, right? I imagine the process of discovery alone might make a lawsuit worthwhile, since you might find out that a fellow contributor had far deeper pockets.
