WikiLeaks takes the address of the stolen emails and transmits it to American media outlets. The Trump campaign uses the stolen emails to rob the United States of America of a free and fair election.

How can more information/better informed electorate result in "stolen elections"?

Today the mold is set.

Time to start unsetting it then.

Stop blathering opinion pieces. Just post the global daily temperatures. Opinions are unnecessary just the data suffices. While 2018 was the 4th or 5th hottest year (downward trend) I bet January will not even record within the top 5. Yes it may still be a very warm year but the trend has been down the past years solidly defying the hockeystick curve. If you can find and link a site that has the daily raw global data for 2019 that would be a solid start of a data driven discussion. TIA

"a roughly 2-to-1 ratio. And that’s just in the U.S."

"Globally, the ratio of record highs to lows was about 20-to-1, with new all-time records in Namibia, Chile, and Reunion Island."

This is quite hypocritical for those pushing the "human CO2 emmissions MUST BE STOPPED" narrative, as those individuals usually say a set of temperature readings from a region on the Globe doesn't count towards Global anything...

If you READ the article, the cop told the guy he was driving fine. The ticket was literally just for eating and goes under a very broad “distracted driving” law.

I wonder how many people in Chicago are cursing global warming right now? I’ve waited too long for GW to deliver. Moving to Phoenix, because as usual, if you want something done, you have to do it yourself.

Fuck you GW, you’re all tease!

CNN runs 5 (FIVE) anti-Schultz headlines in one day:

Howard Schultz kicks off potential bid to unseat Trump… by attacking Democrats
Howard Schultz is objectively bad at Twitter
Howard Schultz deletes tweet about column that contained smears on Warren and Harris
Schultz deletes tweet of column smearing Dems
Cooper presses former Starbucks CEO about deleted tweet
See that? Three … three pieces covering the exact same story about Schultz’s tweet delete.

As far as that “scandal” goes, all Schultz did was tweet out a Pajamas Media column written by Roger Simon titled: “Howard Schultz Could Actually Win the Presidency.”

Typical. They condemn the five percent of good priests because of all the rest.

Wasn’t everyone already accused of that in America?

Nobody can proclaim Free Shit like I can proclaim Free Shit! Let the Free Shit Olympics begin!

Was he eating it out of his girl friend's tweetie?

It's good they don't ticket for cutting the cheese while driving, I'd be in big trouble.

Last time I "cut the cheese" while driving, the car behind me stalled out.

Lucky it didn't explode.

I use an electric shaver every morning on my way into work. Been doing so for over a quarter century. Time saver!

Me too. One time, I dropped it in my coffee because of a lady putting on lipstick in the mirror while talking on the phone drifted into my lane.

I must say I feel a little criminal eating a Cheese Burger and driving.

If a Cop were to pull up next to me the last thing I would go and do is take a big ole chomp out of a quarter pounder, whilst driving my car with no seatbelt and my car reaking from the hit off the bowl I took at some point earlier.

I'll say it again, people have lost the Art of being on the Down Low.

Can't even come close to the hatchet job the conservative pundits did on Trump when he folded on the "wall".

All I remember is Coulter whinging as usual.

I do note the government is only funded until later this Month, and that we are hearing more and more about militarizing the border as a national security issue.

you mean President Coulter ?

‘It smells dirty’: scandals loom over Bolsonaro after first month in office.

Far-right Brazilian president plagued by scandal and disaster – not that the bolsonaristas mind. (Just like the 30% in this country)

ietro Sambugaro wept with joy when the far-right firebrand Jair Bolsonaro was confirmed as president of the world’s fourth-largest democracy. A month into Bolsonaro’s reign, he remains on cloud nine.

“The mood is of immeasurable satisfaction,” the diehard 28-year-old bolsonarista gushed this week.

“It is wonderful to be able to count on the government, to be able to believe that politics can change, that politics can be more honest, that we can trust [our leaders],” Sambugaro continued, heaping praise on Bolsonaro’s early relaxation of gun laws and vow to eradicate corruption.

“The contentment Brazilians are feeling is just gigantic, thank God.”

But as Bolsonaro marks his first month as president on Friday – an anniversary overshadowed by a mining disaster that has claimed at least 99 lives and left 259 people missing – not everyone is so sure.

Bolsonaro built his populist assault on the presidency on a Trumpian pledge to drain its political swamp after the worst corruption scandal in its history.

His appointment as justice minister of the corruption-busting celebrity judge responsible for jailing the former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva enraged Brazil’s left but thrilled many citizens desperate to halt the thieving of public money.

In his inaugural address, Bolsonaro promised to lead an anti-sleaze crusade that would forever free his homeland “from the yoke of corruption”.

But already those vows are starting to look shaky as suspicions of political shenanigans and ties to organised crime hover over one of Bolsonaro’s politician sons – and some supporters begin to fret over their leader’s disorderly opening act in power.

“It smells dirty,” one rightwing activist, Guto Zacarias, grumbled last week after Bolsonaro’s international debut at the World Economic Forum was overshadowed by a snowballing scandal linking his son with a Rio de Janeiro death squad.

“I have about 60% confidence in them. I’m definitely wary,” said Verena Schultze, an anti-corruption campaigner and one of the 57.8 million Brazilians who propelled the former paratrooper to victory. “Bolsonaro is not new on the political scene – he’s been around for some 30 years. And we know how old politics work in Brazil. So I have my doubts.”

Bolsonaro, a far-right nationalist known for his hostility to minorities and his affection for authoritarian rule, swept to power last October with a huge mandate from voters to do away with the old.

Speaking of Bolsonaro’s kid and that pesky scandal of his...

Brazilian top court judge reopens probe into Bolsonaro's son

BRASILIA (Reuters) - A Brazilian Supreme Court justice reopened a probe on Friday into suspicious cash payments involving President Jair Bolsonaro’s son Flavio, reviving an investigation that has dogged the president’s first few weeks in office.

In a decision that revoked an earlier injunction blocking the probe, Justice Marco Aurelio Mello also ruled that the immunity from prosecution enjoyed by top elected officials should not apply to the investigation. Mello said the alleged crimes were committed before Flavio Bolsonaro took office as a federal senator.

The decision to reopen the investigation is a blow to Jair Bolsonaro, who took office last month after surging to victory in elections last year on a promise to clean up years of graft in politics.

The Supreme Court decision, which can be overturned at a later date by the full panel of justices if Bolsonaro appeals, comes on the same day Flavio Bolsonaro is sworn in as a senator, and as Brazil’s new class of federal lawmakers begin the 2019 session.

Oh, we ain't seen nothing yet. This Fall is going to be a hoot. The Dems are going to dig and fling so much dirt on each other, while MAGA Country sits back and enjoys the show.

Oh, and Dems, you already made it clear HS is fair play, this is college and Med School, so don't even bother with the "only a boy" BS.

Democrat party is the refuge of all the worst racists in America.
Ironic, but so true.

Might be prudent to wait until the promised jobs actually show up before declaring mission accomplished again - the last time a Potus did this, it didn't work out so well now did it ?

Damn, going to have to do some more work on blocking by country. The bots are all from Vietnam lately.

Ah the Urban dictionary the Snopes of phrases.

I've seen so much on Urban Dictionary those people don't have a fucking clue. I think words just come to people for the first time, and they run to Urban dictionary to define them.

Not for me. I live in an area that is half Black so I heard that "down low" phrase for years. I just used that Urban Dictionary as an easy reference.

Well California Liberals obcese over what Black guys do with their Dicks and to each other.

"I'll tell you something but keep it on the DL or down low, but word is the Manger Ryan is going to get fired and replaced."

"Hey can you get me some weed?" - "Yes but keep it on the Down Low, don't tell anyone I got you pot. I don't want people to know I smoke."

But yes it also works for the black pickle smugglers in California as well, and the White Liberal Dinks that obsess over them.
