    Funny advice given what you pull around here. My apologies to Riptide. I was being too lazy to look up who said it first, but the term fits you quite well.

    Claiming I'm trying to make friends that way just makes you look stupid. Give it up.

    This is the most important question out there.
    Why, I wonder, would Mr. Perfect need any protection?

    Because even if he can throw a touchdown pass to himself, he still needs an offensive line to protect him.

    Interesting article, if lengthy. The URL just brings up a picture. Google "Trump Russia dossier key claim verified". It's a BBC article via BBC Canada. No idea why I can't cut and paste the addy, sorry.



    ""This is a three-headed operation," said one former official, setting out the case, based on the intelligence: Firstly, hackers steal damaging emails from senior Democrats. Secondly, the stories based on this hacked information appear on Twitter and Facebook, posted by thousands of automated "bots", then on Russia's English-language outlets, RT and Sputnik, then right-wing US "news" sites such as Infowars and Breitbart, then Fox and the mainstream media. Thirdly, Russia downloads the online voter rolls.

    The voter rolls are said to fit into this because of "microtargeting". Using email, Facebook and Twitter, political advertising can be tailored very precisely: individual messaging for individual voters. "You are stealing the stuff and pushing it back into the US body politic," said the former official, "you know where to target that stuff when you're pushing it back." This would take co-operation with the Trump campaign, it is claimed.
    "If you need to ensure that white women in Pennsylvania don't vote or independents get pissed in Michigan so they stay home: that's voter suppression. You can figure what your target demographics and locations are from the voter rolls. Then you can use that to target your bot."

    This is the "big picture" some accuse the FBI of failing to see."

    Why do you think the GOP wants to legalize the sale of browsing histories by ISPs?
