[Apologies for another overdue sandbox.  Boy, they sure fill up fast.  I would personally enjoy readers' thoughts on airport massacres, the new venue of choice for terrorists and madmen to carry out mass shootings in highly crowded environments where the shooter is guaranteed by the federal government to be the only one armed (save the readily identifiable and evadable security personnel).  And the best part of such exchanges is to once more hear the pinhead progressives conclude that too many CCWs are the real problem.  gjr]

    Ahhhhh, fresh kitty litter!
    It was interesting to hear the FBI had to rely on a division of Google for details on the DNC hack since they were not allowed to actually inspect the servers in question. They relied on a report by the friends of madam liar liar pantsuits on fire. πŸ˜‰

    Two points, both revealing the Alt-Left mindset, inspired by the torture of mentally disabled man in Chicago.
    1). Only white people can be racists.
    2). The Alt-left said Trump winning would lead to violence. They forgot to mention it would be coming from them.

    Well…..I suppose we could have you ask them lots of questions……that leads to other questions……that leads to other questions……that leads to other questions……that leads to still more questions…..until the urge to kill deserts them and they turn the gun on themselves!

    Oh, here we go. Paul wants to know how we keep guns away from crazy people. As the newly self-appointed expert on libertarianism, I kinda thought Paul would have an idea or two. Instead, it’s just the yapping poodle demanding that everyone answer his questions.
    I’ve got a question for Paul – how do we keep anything that can be used to kill one or more people away from anyone who might now, or at some future date, decide to use said object for that very lethal purpose?
    The more obvious question is how, as a free society, can we most efficiently equip our citizens with the means to stop crazies, terrorists and other sundry thugs and miscreants from wreaking havoc on innocent victims?
    Yes, that is your Friday pop quiz.

    Paul at 3:39 – no Paul, you can’t get a free nose job. Worrying about the size of your nose actually reveals anti-Semitic tendencies and would render you a bad person. You have to have a current politically correct problem that the tax payers will be made to pay for – in this case the male prisoner has a problem being a man. A white male, if you will. And goodness knows, white males are THE problem in the world. That’s most likely the reason the killing was done in the first place. So – in order to fulfill his delusional fantasy, you tax payers have to pay up. If his fantasy was that he was Napoleon, it would be no go.
    Of course, after all of the nips and tucks and snip snips, he’s still a white male.

    Topic: How do we catch homegrown Islamic Terror Cells in this age of No Profiling?
    Answer: seemingly unrelated bits of information from social media, electronic
    payments, e-mail addresses, and other internet communications pieced together to form a picture. Dated article, but I am hitting it from the social media angle in this connected age and how LE is catching some of the bad guys. Article sheds light that Wa-Po and newsfeeds did not at the time .

    “And the reason is very, very obvious, which is that it has become exceptionally important to Democratic partisans to believe that the reason they lost this election is not because they chose a candidate who was corrupt and who was extremely disliked and who symbolized all of the worst failings of the Democratic Party. It’s extremely important to them not to face what is really a systemic collapse on the part of the Democratic Party as a political force in the United States, in the House, in the Senate, in state houses and governorships all over the country. And so, in order not to face any of that and have to confront their own failings, they instead want to focus everything on Vladimir Putin and Russia and insist that the reason they lost was because this big, bad dictator interfered in the election. And anyone who challenges or anyone who questions that instantly becomes not just their enemy, but now, according to their framework, someone who’s actually unpatriotic, that if you question the evidence, the sufficiency of the evidence to support this theory, that somehow your loyalties are suspect, that you’re not just a critic of the Democratic Party, you’re actually a stooge of or an agent of the Kremlin.”

    Looks like Greenwald is figuring out the MO of the libertarian par…….errr…….of the “progressive” left!

    Thank you SFTA – good reading.
    “We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.
    We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump. We have high confidence in these
    judgements.”
    Why – what better way to undermine Americans’ confidence in the US democratic process than to show what the DNC was actually doing?
    Was Bernie also guilty of the same exact thing by crying foul? The report is strangely silent on that point. Did they accuse Putin of spreading false information about the election or it’s process or any of the candidates?
    It appears that they claim that Putin wanted Trump to win. Certainly Obama has never in any way whatsoever shown any preference for any certain person to ascend to the highest office in any nation. Ever.
    “…denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.”
    Any number of folks have done that, including Obama.
    Ah, but this was a foreign entity. And the US has never, ever tried to influence a foreign country’s free elections. Ever. Except, of course, starting with Obama. But that’s different.
    If there is anyone out there in the WWW that thinks this would be an issue if Hilary had won, please let us know.
    I have a moderately priced bridge to sell you. Cheap.
    Just remember – the only reason you voted for Trump was because Putin put the whammy on you.
    We know you really wanted to vote for Hillary.

    fish 448pm – Stipulate that your citation is correct re the Democrats’ loss (BTW, one that I agree with). Given that, why would anyone opposed to those losing leftwingers go to the trouble to dispute their self-destructive arguments – especially on these pages? Why don’t we just let them wallow in their losing ways and, perhaps, even encourage them? Would it not serve the greater conservatarian purpose to have them learn nothing from this go around and then repeat their mistake the next time?
    I submit that if you don’t believe this, then we must conclude that our left-leaning commenters are indeed ropa-doping those of us who get worked up over their outrageous claims.

    Saudi Arabia funded 20% of the I Am With Her Campain. Great Britain to New Zealand and about every Arab, European, and other nation on Earth (including their leaders and government officials) tried to influence the election for My Gal. Our neighbors to the north and south. Our President, First Lady, Vice President, Wall St, Silicone Valley, the MSM including the NYT, Hollywood, academia, and more all tried to influence the election for Hillary. Oh yeah, add The Pope and his millions of followers. Add most all the billionaires. Quite an assembly of the best, brightest, most powerful, most influential people and institutions on earth, including the full muscle and might of USA government and its institutions.
    Now, are you saying one 2nd tier country name Russia influenced and swung the national election to Trump and out smarted every power on Earth? Hmmmm? Do you realize how ridiculous that agrument sounds?
    The Alt-Left talks incessantly about why Hillary Coldclam Clinton lost. Reverse the question and ask yourselves why Donald J Trump (a totally crude unpredictable political novice) beat Hillary and all the King’s horses and all the King’s men???? I dare ya. Ask not why Hillary suffered the most embarrassing loss in US political history but ask why Trump won. But Trump is crazy!!! Yep, crazy like a fox.
    The pundits said that Trump was the only Republican that could lose to Hillary and Hillary was the only Democrat that could lose to Trump.
    I am not so sure. I think now that Trump was the only one that could beat Hillary as well as any and all Democrats and all Republicans. All of them. Sure, it didn’t hurt that the nation rejected the Lefties and their message. Oh, their message got out alright. The voters gave it the thumbs down. Don’t call us, we’ll call you. Ask not how Trump won, but why Trump s officially as of today our President-elect.

    Then I guess Russia has more respect for what America stands for than LIBS. Since the world revolves around the U.S., and didn’t want to see a collapse of world trade, which would in turn plunge them into turmoil. After watching shit happen for the last 8 years, enough was enough. They knew full well Hillary would finish the job.
    “O” and the left have decimated our military. Trump says he going to ramp up. Now why would the Russians want that? The Russians are kicking MidEast ass. That give THEM influence in the sandbox. Trump wants to go back guns blazing. Again Why would Russia screw up a good thing?

    PaulE 710pm – There are no quick solutions to crazies doing what they do, be it with guns, knives, or other implements or methods – that happens in countries and cities with the strictest gun laws. Here in America the Left focuses on gun confiscation because it knows that’s how a free people most effectively stay free from the Leviathan of the elites (no A21 future as long as we have guns). And so as most of us today know, freedom is not free.
    Paul, Mr Tozer’s 607pm is an excellent summary of how other powers in the world attempted to sway Americans for Hillary. Your responding to that viz the Russians would most contribute to this discussion.
