12 people could be involved in a treasonous scandal yet it's the leakers we should focus on.
Time out, isn't this whole thing about leaking and trying to influence and election? Wiki leaks DNC info (oh no!!!). Obama admin leaks names of unmasked (who gives a fuck, the Russians leaked some shit). Get your talking points straight. Either leaks matter or they don't.
"Unmasking" is non synonymous with "leaking." They are not even remotely the same. This is a shameful smokescreen put forth by team Trump with zero evidence.
False equivalency again. Rice did her job. She wasn't out there rogue leaking names (to whom?) She must request the information from the intelligence community, then they decide if the name is provided to her. Which is what she did. Furthermore there is a paper trail that shows how she followed protocol. Hardly something anybody would do who was breaking the law. That's about it. I guess the GOP can waste millions in tax payer money to "investigate" this if they want. They'll come up with nothing as usual.
The eagerness for right wing media outlets to go along with this distraction is almost treasonous in my book.

Steve Bannon removed from National Security Council role.
I wonder why he did that.

Don't expect an answer. They've been running away as of late because they can't reconcile the conspiracy theories that they "know" with actual evidence.
wow, rice has so many holes in her story. Not doing well with Andrea Mitchell.
I wonder if we watched the same interview.
What exactly is it that your think she did wrong?
Trump is in a world of shit right now, as is his cohorts, and this is supposed to be something? Are you guys kidding?

Here’s what we know so far about Team Trump’s ties to Russian interests
Here's an interactive graphic by the Washington Post, incredibly thorough

You keep babbling on about 911, what in the world does that have to do with the difference between public/private sector that you quoted me in? Nobody is talking about 911 other than you.
What question are you talking about? I've already asked before, but you just insult me instead.
You seem more angry than normal lately...
#1027 Re: Management » Turning off Karma » 476 weeks ago
OK, just to appease you crybabies, I looked at the negative karma I gave. Four in total to buzz including this thread...in the last 22 weeks. Four negative karmas in 22 weeks, and this guy starts a thread over it.
Here is an example of one I said sucked for his (repeated) personal insults:
Should I award positive karma for this rude post? As not to hurt his feelings? If this forum has a negative karma feature, and somebody acts ummm, negative, then guess what?
This is a user whose majority of contributions include personal attacks and insults towards others. He accumulates 4 negative karma in 22 weeks and then declares publicly that he's being treated unjustly.
In the last 32 weeks I have awarded 1 negative and 2 positive to Flagg, yet apparently this ratio isn't enough to keep him happy either.
In all fairness to myself, I also awarded 1 positive karma to Buzz, but also told him he needed a hug and was a putz (because he does and he is)...but some people just see the negative in life I guess.

Never said private businesses were perfect, but they manage to make money in most cases where the gov't operates at a deficit as a whole.
As if the way a business and government generate revenue are the same at all. Imagine if you had a board of directors screaming at the shareholders about the CEO running a monthly deficit, yet refused to allow additional revenue streams at all costs, all while trying to pacify their stockholders who simultaneously demand growth/dividends.
I noticed you didn't deny anything I said about the industry was the truth. Good move.
Again, the weakest move yet. A republican favorite: attacking silence, or perceived silence. So lame.
Just like somebody who makes a claim and refuses to source it with data...except themselves. 
#1029 Re: Management » Turning off Karma » 476 weeks ago
Karma is fun. I give good and bad. If you say something lame, or suck as a human being, I click on "bad karma." If you make me laugh, or used your brain I give you "good."
Some people take things way too seriously...

Wait didn't you say their opinions "mean nothing"?
Isn't this the point where I should say "triggered"?
The irony is you have your karma turned off. So instead I have 4 hand written letters for you which proclaim your excellence as I see it...still waiting for a mailing address.
