This is not a new revelation. After the election I thought congress would hold an investigation to find out what happened in the election. Did Russia influence by social media? How did they do it? What can we do to curtail their influence going forward? Were other countries involved? What can citizens do to avoid being hoodwinked again? Was the voting system tampered with? Is the voting system hard enough to withstand hacker attempts? If not, fix it. Instead we spent 2 2/3 years trying unsuccessfully to nail Trump's hide to a wall. Meanwhile another election is coming up and we're going to be caught with our pants down (again) because we didn't take care of voting bidness for 4 years and instead investigated which resulted in nothing. Maybe these types of activities have been going on and we just haven't heard about it?

What ever happened to ballot box 13? https://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/11/us/how-johnson-won-election-he-d-lost.html?mtrref=duckduckgo.com&gwh=9F839AC102F4D29D85DC077567EED4C8&gwt=pay

I hope you're right. I'm not so sure. To the bolded part, this is a phenomenon I noticed around 1988 with email. The company I worked for had a global network at that time (seriously). We had a VAX developer/engineer from California that when we would send him an email with a question he would answer back very nastily. Talked down to us. He came to our office to give us a class and we were nervous, but he was the nicest guy, sweet as pie. But in his office behind closed doors he was brave and said things he never would say to us in person. But it was not just him. A lot of people do that in email too. This is exactly the same dynamic we see in social media x 100. With email you at least know the person and know you may actually meet them in person some day. Not so in social media. It would take a lot of people to come to the realization that this is not right and change their behavior when they're addicted to it. Good luck. I don't see it happening. Again, I hope you're right.

1984 - where they went out and updated all the old newspaper stories to fit the present Double Speak.

I stumbled across this video yesterday. The woman is nuts. Her answer to Pastor Latasha Fields describing not getting an abortion at 17 and then finishing high school and going to college and she and her husband learned trades and now own their own businesses. Ilhan's response is a 5 minute non sensical racial screed. You gotta watch it. Craziness.

No, same as why Trump doesn't pay taxes. It's because I'm smart.

No doubt. I have fallen into this trap a few times myself in the past year. NO MORE. From now on I just say "that's bad if true, but I'm waiting for the other side of the story to come out first before castigating anyone."

Hotrod is their plan? I like it!

I don't look at snopes very often. But I have noticed that they sometimes take a "myth", then kind of define it in a way that is a little different from the common usage, and then "disprove" that.

I watched the Publix security video. While you can't hear anything or see what happened before, it appears that the dude had already checked out. I had thought he was behind her in line but he wasn't. He has his bag in his hand so he already checked out and just stopped to tell this lady she had too many items for the express lane. What is he, the express lane monitor? Who appointed him as such? I would have told him to buzz off and mind his own business too. That said, they both were aggressive with each other. This is the kind of thing that has always happened and people may have been upset for 10 minutes and reasoned that the other person is just a A-Hole and move on, but now with social media we have other options. Looked to me like what often happens in things like this is 2 a$$holes run into each other and they both behave badly causing a much bigger dust up than needed. He didn't have to stop and she didn't need to go after him back.

Sadly this is the new normal and I suspect it's here to stay. Even post Trump.

I call him Wonder Boy because he has a lot of hype but has not really accomplished anything beyond being 6' 5" and being able to throw a football a country mile. He wasn't great in high school and was lightly recruited. He didn't have a great college career either. I know, he had bad talent blah blah blah. Last year for us he showed some good things and some bad. Yet hype and hope are through the roof. I hope he turns out great, but I don't call guys great until I see it ON THE FIELD CONSISTENTLY, so far of which I have not. And if he indeed does turn out great, it will still work. Go BILLS !!

I have changed my avatar to Roger because he is the greatest QB in the history of football IMHO. He's what I want Wonder Boy to be. They have some similarities like their leadership and burning desire to beat the heck out of the opposition. Roger ran too much earlier and settled into be a great passing QB. And Wonder Boy played well late in games like Roger did. Wonder Boy's last play pass to steel hands Clay in the EZ was what I'm talkin' about. Go BILLS !!

Megan McArdle dubs it “the greatest own-goal in political history.” No, there is another: I'm S I C K of this Twitter outrage nonsense. Over the last 6 years of so I can think of 5 other Twitter outrages that turned out to be total BS. The Benghazi thing was due to a spontaneous demonstration to an internet video on September 11. The dude in Furgeson got shot running away from the fuzz with his hands up. Hands up don't shoot. Jussie Smallett. The high school kids came up to an Indian man peacefully singing his song about Peace when the high school kids surrounded him shouting Make America White Again. The lady at Publix. From now on when confronted with this stuff my response will be "That sounds bad if it really happened. I need to hear the other side of the story first." I admit I'm sold school and think there are 2 sides to every story.

I did and did. He was #12 in 2016. Now I have Wonder Boy as my keeper/starter. I hope he does even better.

My point was that running QBs score well in imaginary football? Do you dispute that? Russell Wilson, DeSean Watson, and Can Newton were in the top 5 in 2018.

Hotrod was good at Imaginary football too. Running QBs usually do well.

Twitter and social media know no age. It's stereotypically millennials and young people,, but really it's everybody.

What makes you think we don't do that already? https://www.globalresearch.ca/big-brother-is-watching-you-pervasive-surveillance-under-obama/14249 This was what we were doing 10 years ago.

It's a quadrennial thing. Every 4 years people run presidential campaigns as if they are running for King as opposed to President of the United States of America figuring we won't know the difference.

2019

it's a good strategy for the Dems too evidently. Or at least they think it is. Amen!

They're being replaced by robots and independent contractors.

it's like the NBA draft lottery.
