In other news: Maria Butina, Russian "gun rights activist," working with the NRA, is arrested for spying. The other Russians indicted will probably never see a trial, but she's right here in an American jail.

WAIT… WHAT?
Trump’s ‘Missing DNC Server’ Is Neither Missing Nor a Server
The president can spout conspiracy theories all he wants. But the DNC turned over all its key data to the FBI after it got hacked. And that info wasn’t stored on a single server.

Trump’s behavior at Nato, in London, in Helsinki, is so inexplicable and so against the interest of the United States, so against what all of his advisers have told him that Americans are scratching their heads and saying, if that’s not the explanation, that Putin has something on him, then what is it? What the heck could it be? It could be Putin says flattering things about Trump, so our president, a walking bundle of insecurities, likes him. Further, his liking of Vladimir Putin triggers the libs. But the libs have evidence enough that Trump acts this way because the Russians have dirt on him. The spectacle in Helsinki proves that Putin has something on the President, personally, financially or politically. Which one? I suggest Congress waterboard Trump to find out which. Trump said waterboarding is an okay way to gather evidence:

Bullshit

You have not once - NOT ONCE - explained the interests of the United States, or explained WHICH United States interests you feel have been crossed.

You've wailed long and loud about the poor illegal Hispanic migrants, the poor downtrodden Syrians, the poor fearful Eastern Europeans who need protection from Big Bad Russia, the poor poor around the world .... but NOT ONCE have you actually posted about AMERICA's interests. It's like you conflated our interests with every foreign victim subgroup, and act like we're supposed to swoop in and fix everything for everybody. (Yanno, like that worked so well in Vietnam.)

So, since you brought up American's interests, maybe NOW is the time to tell me what our interests are that have been crossed?? Not Canada's, not Britain's, not the EU's .... not Mexico's, not Syria's, not Ukraine's .... ours.

I'll bet you that you can't.

I predict that you will, once again, evade explaining an actual basis for your giant temper tantrum, and with nary a pause for reflection will continue to stomp your feet and bang your head against the floor and troll.

Because that's what adults do in a real world discussion board.

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.

In order to understand what happened when one must examine THE ACTUAL HARD DRIVES AND LOGS.

What REAVERFAN fails to understand is that data doesn't go into a "cloud" somewhere, it goes into an actual server, or set of servers, which are controlled by software which maintains, among other things, log files of every requested access. Somehow, I doubt the FBI got THAT information.

I find it emblematic that the FBI simply took the DNC's word for it that they were "hacked" without once examining the actual system files and hard drives. Furthermore, and more importantly, the FBI has apparently deliberately blocked any attempt to discuss the issue with the one person who knows FOR SURE where the files came from, and that is Julian Assange. THAT particular fact is hard to explain and impossible to get around. It would be the SECOND thing that a genuine investigator would do, after taking possession of the actual hard drives (for forensic examination) and closely examining the log files. So, why wasn't either action done?

I see our local "computer genius" RF is such a whiz that he double-posted. Again.

Someone should teach you how to use the internet.

Top Voting Machine Vendor Admits It Installed Remote-Access Software on Systems Sold to States
Remote-access software and modems on election equipment 'is the worst decision for security short of leaving ballot boxes on a Moscow street corner.'
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/mb4ezy/top-voting-machine-v
endor-admits-it-installed-remote-access-software-on-systems-sold-to-states?utm_source=reddit.com


In a letter sent to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) in April and obtained recently by Motherboard, Election Systems and Software acknowledged that it had "provided pcAnywhere remote connection software … to a small number of customers between 2000 and 2006," which was installed on the election-management system ES&S sold them.

The statement contradicts what the company told me and fact checkers for a story I wrote for the New York Times in February. At that time, a spokesperson said ES&S had never installed pcAnywhere on any election system it sold. "None of the employees, … including long-tenured employees, has any knowledge that our voting systems have ever been sold with remote-access software," the spokesperson said.

ES&S did not respond on Monday to questions from Motherboard, and it’s not clear why the company changed its response between February and April. Lawmakers, however, have subpoena powers that can compel a company to hand over documents or provide sworn testimony on a matter lawmakers are investigating, and a statement made to lawmakers that is later proven false can have greater consequence for a company than one made to reporters.
