[Well, Happy 2023 everyone and we might as well start the new year off with a fresh sandbox.  In the 19dec22 Sandbox Mr scenes offered an intriguing suggestion (830am) in an attempt to eliminate the detritus of TDS and things gratuitously Trump from continually contaminating practically every other topic with yet another boring lap around the Trump barn.  He suggested that RR add a Trump category and restrict posting of Trump-centric comments to that category.  I envision it being structured like the Sandbox with dated, and perhaps even topical, labels so that the comment streams don’t become too long.  I need to noodle on this and invite readers’ ideas about how it would work.  gjr]

    The amount of time you spend on others sexuality and tossing the perv term comes across as some type of projection, as in you protest too much.
    None of my business I suppose, but it also likely helps keep this site a predominately far right echo chamber with a few posters being the exception.
    Maybe that’s the goal, I dont pretend to know what’s desired.

    Wow, that’s a really good point. So when you hurl, racist, sexist, homophobe you are really projecting your hate for these groups. How revealing! Maybe that’s the goal, I dont pretend to know what’s desired.

    Yet the conservative right, so unburdened by intellect, is ever eager to use Biden’s troubles to lift their fallen orange hero by any means necessary. Even three children in a trench coat could see that Biden’s crime doesn’t compare to Trump’s, but facts bear no weight in this country, as the near-cultist right stopped listening to reason long ago. Because the most basic facts of the case use the same three words as Trump’s staggering treason pared down for an illiterate audience (“classified,” “documents” and “criminal”), we now have to litigate Biden’s actions in the same way reasonable Americans could only hope to ever litigate Trump’s … if he ever stopped kicking long enough for FBI agents to get a hold of his legs.

    The Loudoun prosecutor’s office has also been at odds with Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R), with Miyares accusing Biberaj of having a “criminal-first, victim-last” mentality to her job.
    Biberaj also allowed the release of a male student wearing a dress who raped a female student in a Loudoun County public school. The office simply put the male student in another school, where he violently sexually assaulted another student.
    Since then, school district officials involved have been indicted by a grand jury that continues to investigate.

    ‘By Enabling Leftist Misinformation, Twitter Helped Democrats And Their Media Allies Peddle Another Russia Hoax’
    Democrat Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Sheldon Whitehouse soon issued their own missive to Twitter, even though the internal communications released on Thursday revealed attempts by Twitter executives to warn senator staffers that the story of a Russian influence campaign didn’t stand.
    “We find it reprehensible that Russian agents have so eagerly manipulated innocent Americans,” the senators wrote, also relying on ASD’s view that the trending of the hashtag represented a Russian influence operation.
    But internal communications from Twitter made public in the latest Twitter Files thread by independent journalist Matt Taibbi reveal the #ReleaseTheMemo campaign was organic and Twitter had concluded that ASD, the only source for claims that Russian bots and trolls were behind the trending of the hashtag, had used a “flawed methodology.”

    A Russia “hoax” this was not.
    The indictment — signed by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and announced by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, both of whom Trump has at times mused about wanting to fire — reveals that the scope of Russia’s alleged efforts to help Trump defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was extraordinary.”

    The Russian Hoax, to me, refers to The Rooskies colluding with Trump to steal the election from Hillary. Or, if you prefer, Trump colluding with Putin to steal the election from Hillary.
    No one says that the Russians did not attempt to meddle in our 2016 elections, nor the Chinese, North Koreans, and even some of our allies.
    The Russian Hoax refers to, generally, the Collusion. Spygate refers to the Obama Administration spying on a political opponent and the hold overs of the entrenched politicized-weaponized Surveillance State continued to spy on a U.S. sitting president.
    It was all a Hillary campaign rouse to take the public’s mind off her e-mail scandal(s). That is what has finally came out.
    It does get confusing with the foreign actor hack of the State Department server, not to be confused with Hilary’s private unauthorized server in her home linen closet which she did her State Depart, Clinton Foundation, and personal business.
    We would know about the hackers IF the DNC, the DCCC, Hillary’s computers were REFUSED assess by the FBI. Guess we have to take the Perkins Coie hired Crowdstrike’s word for it or the Atlantic Council’s word for it. The FBI was refused access so critical evidence will not be forthcoming.
    It’s really hard to quantify if even one vote was swayed by the Russian Meddling. Of course Russia always tries to meddle in our elections going back probably 50 years. RT (Russian Television) even hosted the Jill Stein and Green Party debates in 2016.
    Mueller’s report did not find one single US citizen who colluded with the Russians….thus the “Hoax” was a indeed a hoax. You should be a public defender.
