A pretty great read that breaks down the actual information that we have, good links and whatnot.

This in particular gave me a bit of a chuckle, I must admit:

The Soviet Secret Police aren't what they used to be...

The internet age has all intelligence agencies a little behind tbh.

the internet fills their role without the false sense of credibility. i mean espionage has always been a "lets find enough rumored info to fit our narrative" game, now its just been turned up to 11 for all to see.

It just goes to show how difficult a game it really is to play. There are just so many little ways that technology is ready to betray a false narrative.

Sad that we have to rely on Russia to deliver on transparency.

Like when Rubio said "We could be next. It has to stop." I'm like, fam, just stop fucking people and engaging in ethically questionable horseshit and it won't matter what leaks.

Yet people get mad at Snowden instead.

i mean i agree to an extent. and yet crass comments meant as a joke can be posted out of context. Someone in the DNC calls bernie "grandpa" and all of a sudden its a headline. The important thing is to realize we all say things that can be put in a bad light by a motivated editor, unless you're ghandi or something. Reality tv shows have TEAMS of editors. teams.

Yeah, completely agree with this. Putting every single thing someone has ever said completely on blast to be carved up and taken out of context is shitty. Much, much shittier is specifically targeting only one side for that shit because you know you'll be able to make America your bitch if Sweet Potato Saddam ever takes power, as is obvious from the fact that Putin's already making bolder moves.

Trying to spin this shit as just 'transparency' is actually stupider than the both sides fallacy, tbh, which is impressive.

Why don't any of you liberal weetards talk about the massive voter fraud on the dnc side? Like regions with upwards of 150% voter turnout all for the dnc joke running? What about the dnc, media and Clinton family stealing the primaries from bernie? You realize how many Republicans woulda voted for him over trump? You idiots coulda changed the world. Now you get trump and I hope it makes your shit watery

I think you're talking about Detroit having 37% of their precincts (20) having more votes than they had tallies in their record books?

How the fuck can you be so bad at reading that you translate that into 150% turnout?
