"The double standards applied to Clinton for her benefit goes beyond hypocrisy. Many have claimed that constantly metamorphosing allegations of Russian interference represents an insidious effort to silence dissent and anti-establishment political discourse: for example, by turning third-party, anti-establishment or conservative voices into “Russians” by proxy of their opposition to Clinton. By converting legitimate American free speech into insidious “Russian bots,” a pretext is created to silence dissent across the board. Without the Russian interference circus, the efforts to breach the First Amendment would be overtly authoritarian and would be inexcusable even by the most corrupt establishment media standards."www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-16/muellers-investigation-farce-files-joke-indictment-against-russian-trollsIt would appear that Mueller is a 'useful idiot' for the Russians - they want to sow discord and yet off he goes trying to bring down a president based on the _ Russian_ misinformation

thefederalist.com/2018/02/17/worlds-largest-science-organization-gives-top-honor-conspiracy-monger-michael-mann/Rather than offer thoughtful, persuasive arguments for why climate change is a legitimate threat, Mann instead excoriates anyone, including so-called climate deniers and fellow scientists, who does not conform to his ideological worldview. “The AAAS has sent quite a message to the public by giving a communications award to Michael Mann, who made multiple false claims about being a Nobel prize winner, including to a court of law,” Steve Milloy, author of “Scare Pollution” and publisher of junkscience.com, told me. “Mann has conspired with others to silence critics and prevent opponents from being published in science journals. He has sued his critics but, ironically, spends a great deal of time making ad hominem attacks against politicians and scientists with whom he disagrees.”

......... "If so, it is the most perilous political scandal in modern American history, and the most detrimental to American democracy. And if so, it does indeed, as zealous promoters of Russiagate assert, make Watergate pale in significance........ "www.thenation.com/article/russiagate-or-intelgate/

So ... veni vidi vici (I came, I saw, I conquered) would become veni vidi visa (I came, I saw, I shopped)? Boy, I am in trouble (quoniam tribulor).

My opinion of Stanford went down a notch after reading her essay. Curious she had to let everyone know she was cum laude from Harvard, as somehow did she feel I wouldn't be impressed with just her degree from Harvard. [/quote] Code, I take it you clicked the link above?

There was a total failure of law enforcement in the shooting. It is a strange coincidence to have such a coordinated nexus of ineptitude one could almost think it was planned - especially the speed with which CNN appeared with a cast of disaster extras all scripted. Police, Sheriff's department, FBI all knew the school shooter by name and that he wanted to shoot at the school and all claim to have done nothing about it, then when the shooter actually implements the plan, the Sheriff's 'protection' officer hides in bushes and three more 'men' do nothing until the shooter stops shooting and the police arrive. They all then rush to CNN with coordinated talking points that it is the NRA's fault most vociferous in this was the Sheriff. I think I need a tinfoil hat The fact remains that had the shooter been making racist tweets - he would have been arrested. Threatening to shoot people at school to the level that all the children knew it, the Sheriff and police knew it and the FBI knew it - nothing - not even intervening when he was shooting children. Yes definitely tinfoil hat time.
