We have to move on to "better things" than Russia meddling in our elections? Why does that sound so ominous?Trump released a statement on Russia hacking (though he never mentions those terms in the statement!):

I've never heard the term "hot war", since I think most people just call it "war"...
I'm REALLY bad with Cold War history but I remember learning that it was called a "Cold" War because neither side had formally declared war on the other. Not that there weren't hostilities fought that involved American and Soviet soldiers and war-like acts committed but rather that neither side took the step to actually declare war and directly fight each other. I don't think it was a common thing to do before WWII.

On one hand it's fun to expose Russian Trolls.
On the other hand it's kinda sad to then realize that GAF isn't immune to the problem of Russian Trolls.

Shit like this just makes me think of an alternate universe in which we actually do a Marshall Plan in the Middle East instead of just spending all the energy choosing whether to back religious rebels or secular dictators.

Why won't Trump use the phrase "Russian Hacking"? I mean, lots of people are saying, folks.

Cmon, Kevin was badass af as that uberatheist professor in the first gods not dead. He redeemed that movie imo
Nah, you're thinking of Dean Cain. Keven Sorbo was in the second one.
No, he's right. Kevin is the teacher in the first one. Dean Cain was also in the first one.

Sorbo is the one that gets killed by a car, I don't think anything happens to Cain.
It's amazing to look back and remember my evangelical friends going nuts for that movie, it was so popular.

Ding Ding. We have a wiener.
During the Cold War we never declared war on the USSR directly or took overt military hostile actions against Soviet soldiers. It was still a war, but it wasn't a war where the two principles attacked each other directly.
As for World War III, I think for anything to qualify as a World War there needs to be active hostilities in multiple fronts and countries in at least two continents. And all the conflicts need to be interconnected in some way due to an aggressive power or entangled alliances.
Our NATO alliance is suppose to be a deterrent, but it also could be a spring board to a larger conflict especially if our NATO allies in eastern Europe start to fall under Russia pressure or aggression.

if we're being honest, the first time I heard about them I thought about NeoGAF OT's political threads.

No one said "Oh Well" to Crimean invasion, except Putin/Republican Alt-Right fanboys.
No one said mistakes happen when Russia shot down Malaysian Airline MH17, except Putin/Republican Alt-Right fanboys.
No one is saying restart the coldwar, and no one is saying John Podesta fell for a simple, context-free phishing scam from a 3rd party. Except Putin/Republican Alt-Right fanboys.
They actually used a picture of a duck to bash Obama and his administration.

Russia invades Crimea and shoots down MH17: *Obama imposes sanctions that destroy Russia's economy*
Putin steals private information of major government figures: Trump: "This is Actually Good for America and Hillary is trying to start WW3 by saying that Russia was bad for doing this."
I bet you someone within his inner circle is going to advise him not to remove the sanctions the instant he enters the white house.

So since Hillary is out of picture now, he's making it blatantly obvious this was never about his hate for Hillary. It was about his hate for American interests.

Hmm, I was going to tell you "stop arguing with Nazis" but instead it's a bunch of edgelords who like to pretend anti-semitism doesn't exist in America anymore even as Trump's last ad was "PEOPLE STEALING YOUR MONEY" *Shows picture of Jewish person*

Edgelords that apparently like playing dumb.
"No it's fine cuz the article writer was Jewish too."
"No it's fine because it was only worded that way for CLICKS. That totally makes it okay."
"No it's fine because technically the jewish part is relevant in literally only the very last paragraph."

Those responses are actually reassuring, and a lot more positive than I would have imagined. Almost half wish they had voted (!!), and many of those who didn't did not because they had ostensibly legitimate reasons. I can ignore the both sides/my vote wouldn't matter idiots for now, and I would like the democrats to focus on clearing the way for the apparently numerous voters who had roadblocks from casting a ballot despite wanting to.
There's a lot of work to be done but the future isn't bleak.

I feel like you'd have to take out all the deep red/blue states to get any real picture of "my vote won't matter" means.
Hell, I voted but I didn't feel my vote mattered, either. I'm in IL.

These actually can be ignored because ostensibly they could be correct in practical terms, even if it is a terrible attitude.

Only if by "in practical terms" you mean people who look solely at outcomes and ignore circumstance, sure. The guys talking about how Obama's basically a Republican because he didn't get to their laundry list of issues while conveniently ignoring that the Republicans have blocked basically all government work for the last 6 years. Which is the sort of thing that shares a zipcode with "correct" but not an address, y'know?

He means the "don't matter" people, not the "both sides" people.
