At least Rush and the rest butter their bread with right wing hate and paranoia, I'm not sure what Trump gets out of it.

The Next Bill Clinton
I know this is old, but it's starting to get traction.
Here are a few dots that are beginning to look suspiciously connected:
Last summer, the Mayor Mark Sokolich of Fort Lee, N.J., was expected to follow a lot of other mayors in the state by endorsing Republican Gov. Chris Christie in his easy run for re-election. Mr. Sokolich, a Democrat, refused.
A short time later, two of Fort Lees three access lanes to the George Washington Bridge were mysteriously shut down. The traffic jam was horrendous. Short trips it was the first day of school took as long as four hours. The town of Fort Lee was a parking lot.
Mr. Sokolich suspected that there might be a connection between his failure to support the governor and his towns sudden traffic nightmare. Mr. Christie appoints key members of the board for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the routes to the G.W., the busiest bridge in the world.
At a hearing Monday in Trenton, witnesses testified that a close friend of Mr. Christies who works for the Port Authority ordered the lanes closed. Bridge workers were told it was part of a traffic study. And they were also told to keep quiet about it.
Five days later Patrick Foye, the Port Authority executive director (appointed by New Yorks Governor Andrew Cuomo), learned about the traffic study. He was reportedly outraged, since there was no such thing, and he ordered the lanes re-opened.

I imagine there's more of this kinda of dealing in his past.
I wouldn't be shocked at all
It is shocking to me that the man didn't go to jail, but I guess it's okay to lie to congress unless you do it about PEDs.
But what we should really focus about is that Snowden went to OMG RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!!

Clinton's economy killed the dreamcast
I care more about the vita though.... Its not doing well but it seems to have support, at least from indies. The ps3 and ps4 indies are saving it. I wish there were more console game ports though (<- why i don't post on gaming side, my opinions are not welcomed over there)
lol
If anything it's the Republicans fault, they've created a world where guns are more fun than Mario
In case anyone can't tell I'm joking

Clinton lied, institutionalized sexual harassment survived.
Shahid lied, Vita died.

Did anyone read the AP CIA/Iran story?
The CIA lost an asset to Iran without even knowing he was an asset...
Real life James bond stuff. Would make a thread if I wasnt on my phone
This and the NSA stories shows how post 9/11 lifting of oversight have really not lead to better intelligence and have often lead to more problems (I should caveat that I don't know much about post church pre9/11 intelligence).

They need to bring out the Vita TV in the West, i think it'll do good here.
I've heard argument that 9/11 killed the DC

I don't think it will do 'good' but it can move some units and be a profitable niche product. Its not gonna change the market for vita games. That ship has sailed
Oh, and you think your opinion are welcomed here?
You came to the wrong neighborhood, this is Ouya territory.
Anyway, something something, Bayonetta 2 will save the Wii-U.
And by save, I mean I'll probably have to go and buy one against my better judgment.

Wasn't there a graphic depicting the political slants of the then three consoles, Wii, 360, and PS3, and weren't Wii fans the most liberal?
The CIA was getting pissed that the NSA is getting all their fucking-up glory.
And the CIA was fucking up and undermining American interests since before Osama Bin Laden was born.
Edit: yeah, someone should probably make a thread about it.

Of the three companies I'm most aligned with Nintendo (former Sega fanboy) and I'm pretty liberal, so I'd believe it.
There's enough about each company that you could probably contort their policies to be liberal or conservative.
Incidentally I think Reggie is an Obama supporter.
For real, fuck the CIA, I don't like what the NSA is doing, but there is at least a level of competence there.
The CIA?
What the fuck do they even have to show for?
Their biggest "successes" (Iran, Chile) have ended up undermining american interests, they got bitchslapped by the KGB throughout the cold war and got the US into a bunch of stupid ass unnecessarily wars because they didn't understand the world, oh, and they were caught by surprise by pretty much every big geopolitical change.
Fuck that shit, burn it to the ground and start from scratch, maybe this time you should get some people who know what the fuck they're doing instead of a bunch of ivy league liberal arts grads.

Congrats on beating cancer; that's awesome
Hope the new plan works out for ya.The link.
Maybe the vine too. Haven't decided.
Though I'm curious. Does politifact do two different "Lie of the Year" type awards, one decided by the Politifact staff and another decided by readers? Cause it seems that this one was selected by a poll of readers, not Politifact themselves.

It's literally one of the best things to ever happen to me. (the plan, that is. Beating the testicular cancer too, but that was WAY easier than fucking insurance bullshit. I can now work for myself and build my business without wasting my time needing an employer to deem me worthy enough to insure)

You'll be happy to know the american people agree with Politifact
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2013/dec/12/lie-year-readers-poll-results-2013/
I'm still confused how a statement from 2010 could be the lie of 2013
Awesome!

Yeah, one of the worst things about tying insurance to employment is that it really discourages entrepreneurship and small businesses.

Why is it that when one faction of House Rs get together to pass a bill, the other seems determined to fuck it up? Senate Republicans are determined to make Harry Reid get sixty votes for the budget bill.
She's going to double down.
I was playing the clip in my office yesterday for :lols, and my coworker was nodding in agreement (mainly about the Santa/political correctness argument).
