give me a break on the birtherism. It wasn't just Trump, and I actually think he gets too much credit for him. It was just one symptom of a large group trying to deligitimize Obama. I think the same is happening to Trump. Dont mistake my words as thinking there are not unfair attacks on Trump. There are. But the never seen before is a sham. It's always more intense when it is your guy. Obama love him or hate him had it just as bad. He just handled it differently.
1. im trying to keep up here but i had thought we (and most) were in agreement that hacking is really really bad - and yes i even think it is many times worse when someone else does it to us. the fact that we bug/wiretap our euro allies or china hacks our gov databases or isis hacks the ohio gov homepage, etc etc etc also changes the reality of the attempted russian election (amongst many others i assume) hacks. does not make them right, but at least properly alligns them.
2. i dont mean never before seen as in no one ever said bad things or worked to deligitimize, im saying never before seen as in liberalism owns hollywood, academia and the media (largely) so the trump stuff naturally has a bigger stage. there have been a few "studies" comparing the pure hours certain topics have received on the popular networks. the results are as i am stating. i will try to dig some up. actually i wont, too busy, but they are there.
i gotta get some stuff done so i gotta bow out of whatever this is here (i assume useless, baseless argument and faux outrage as that is what the internet is for - and rightfully so). would be nice to have a smoke sometimes and talk in real life. alas, until then, have a good day.
