This dramatic story puts the news media in a jackpot. Absent independent verification, reporters will have to rely upon the secret assessments of intelligence agencies to cover the story at all.
Here's a great article in RollingStone on how the media is buying this "Russia Hacked the election" story hook line and sinker without any evidence.
WMD anyone?
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/features/something-about-this-russia-story-stinks-w458439
Already has been covered in the OT. Some key details you missed:
1) The author is a rapist who has worked for Russia
2) No, the CIA did NOT claim with certainty that Saddam had WMDs.
3) It's not just the CIA that says it was Russia, the FBI and 16 other agencies all agree with CIA that Russia hacked the Democrats.
but something tells me you were just doing another drive-by post....

Worked in Russia, but not for Russia exactly.
This is a bad article and you should feel bad for sharing it. The Bush administration pushed the WMD narrative because it was a great risible pretext to invade Iraq, which is something they wanted to do regardless. This was in the face of evidence to the contrary from intelligence sources. In this case it is the intelligence agencies that are waving the red flags, the administration is making it known because it is important to know, there is literally no other end game beyond that at this point.Here's a great article in RollingStone on how the media is buying this "Russia Hacked the election" story hook line and sinker without any evidence.

literally no one is claiming thisHacking the Dem's is a very different thing than hacking the electiion.
you post an article complaining about "no evidence" then post un-sourced conjecture that runs counter to the assessment of over a dozen intelligence apparatuses. Got it.Personally, I I think the DNC hack was more likely done by an insider upset at their treatment of Bernie.

Also, is there a source for the rape charge or Russia?
The writer of the article wrote in Russia for over a decade.
He spent most of that time abusing Russian girls while his partner threatened to murder Russian women who didn't want to get an abortion.

I think he just spent a year abroad in Russia while in school.

Former CIA Operative Robert Baer says if the CIA can prove that Russia interfered with the 2016 election then the US should vote again.

From the NY Times: Obama Strikes Back at Russia for Election Hacking

Aren't Democrats part of the electoral process? You are making a semantic and rather fruitless argument. Plus it detracts from the actual issue. A foreign entity intervention to undermine the Democratic elections process as a whole and tilt the elections to their endorsed candidate.From the NY Times: Obama Strikes Back at Russia for Election Hacking

I think that's the actual issue.
That could be it.Since conservatives don't believe Democrats are real Americans or that they're entitled to participate in the political process, it makes sense that they support foreign powers hacking them

Finished all of my Ph.D. applications. Hopefully will be starting a Ph.D. in Economics at one of these schools next fall...
MIT
Princeton
Stanford
UCLA
Michigan
UCSD
Cornell
Texas
Rochester
Virginia
MSU
Pittsburgh
So many applications to schools that aren't useful politically, I'm sorry D:
Hopefully some interesting political work going on in each area though.
Noooo run away Ph.Ds aren't worth iiiiiiiit
Of course they aren't, but I need the pain.
And I like economics research papers.

I'd like to know if any of you are actually elected officials. I ran for a small local district this November with the Dems and won. I can say that without a doubt, local politics are spicy, maybe even spicier than national.
Lol!
1. Ask around about your prospective advisor and find out what percentage of students they graduate, how stingy they are about primary authorship, how long their students take to graduate and whether students like working with them. If you get a bad personal vibe from interacting with them, RUN. Your relationship with your advisor will be the most important one throughout grad school.

I've thought about it before but decided against it for two reasons
1. My fiance would hate it
2. lol I'm a communist, I'm not gonna get elected to anything
Local politics is where things actually get done... and where corruption and shit people are actually taken to task. I respect anyone who runs for a local office and can get important things done.
Number 1 messed me up most. I was doomed to fail in grad school. I got into it via the backdoor with an advisor who didn't know what he was doing. Then I changed advisors. The second advisor was great... in the beginning. Then we lost our lab tech and our most senior grad student and it all went to hell. I floundered and got super depressed because my advisor became so hands off and didn't care.
This is why the advisor thing usually is the first thing I mention to prospectives. Students often have no clue what havoc that one person can easily cause in their lives and it sucks to have watched minor variations of "shitty advisor relationship" drop so many friends into pits of despair. (Oddly, few seem to understand that they CAN quit and lead happy, fulfilled lives.) It sounds like you escaped and moved on, though?

Hey now, there's, uh, Kshama Sawant who is pretty radical. Seattle is different than New Jersey thoI've thought about it before but decided against it for two reasons

If you don't mind me asking, what was the position and did you face any meaningful competition? How did that go? I worked on a state legislative campaign but I'll probably end up doing local work in 2017 if I'm not too busy trying to make sure I graduate lolI'd like to know if any of you are actually elected officials.

Are you going to like writing them, revising them 10 or more times, trying to please your advisor and coauthors and fucking bitchy egomaniacal anonymous reviewers who make opaque and unreasonable requests of you?
(I spent today working on a manuscript. I love writing, love the research process but fuck publishing. Fuck it so hard.)
Eh... I was in graduate school for 6 years thinking I would get a Ph.D. I ended up with a Master's. Crippling anxiety thinking I wasn't good enough caused me not to be able to get through my comps. It took me two years to find a job, even with a master's degree.
I will say, though, the day I told my advisor I would take a master's instead of a Ph.D, I felt the world lift off of my shoulders and I felt so goooooood.

Oh, and I'm in a swing county in a red state

Why the hell is this a big deal? Literally every person under 35 I know watches (or reads) porn.Josh Marshall is trying to tweet through it (it=posted porn by accident on Twitter) and I don't know how well it's going.
Man, I just realized I didn't tell y'all the good news.
2016 may have been a shit year, but for me, it ended in one very positive way, at least. I got a job at a major liberal network (which I will leave undisclosed for the time being).
I'm in the big leagues now, boys.
Don't forget your friends now that you're a bigshot bliv
