When you're camping in the woods and a bear comes for your food, there's always one shithead in your group who decides that now's a good time to swipe your snacks, even though the bear will kill them eventually, especially since they didn't bother to help fight the bear in the first place.
Now we just hope that there's still enough people to wrestle the bear.

Yep, It's gonna be a mixed bag for the time being.
fanfic time: what if it turns out Obama's been playing chess while Trump played checkers? What if the IC has known something legitimately treasonous but have been sitting on it for some period of time, maneuvering Trump until it's the optimal time to spring everything on him right before the inauguration?

What did MSNBC do?
Cringe worthy. Do they really think we can't verify this stuff ourselves? I mean, i guess some people will not go and buy it as fake.
Damn. I'm not even 2 minutes in and... I'm about to rage. Is the stuff with Carl Bernstein part of the video? I want to watch him as well based on posts here about it.

This lady is a Russian agent and needs to be banned from the media. She's lying all the time. Seth fucking Myers? Get her off everything.
This 25 minute conversation(Russian Propaganda) goes on way too long. As I said before these Trump surrogates need to stop being regulars(paid). Pull in generic Republicans of the day to get the right's(Russian's) view.

Individuals that Putin considers a threat have a tendency of being shot 50m away from the Kremlin without any traces or end up getting a suden case of lethal radiation poisoning in the middle of London.
If the Ex-MI6 agent makes himself public he will end up on top of the GRU and FSB kill lists.

Maybe he just woke up?
Yeah these official statements really need to be included one by one in the OP. From McCain, Clapper, CNN, etc.

Did you really quote something 3000 posts ago to say this?

Interesting. Also, one last question - Trump's stance on energy independence (gas and oil) and military improvements and nuclear armament increase - wouldn't those things hurt the Russian economy / be antagonistic towards Russia?

Well, he better have some really good bodyguards and live at an undisclosed location or be under MI5/6 personal protection then.

I cant believe the amount of times she told CNN that they better clean house for reporting this fake news but couldn't specify what was fake about it. She started to sound threatening about the 5th time she said it towards the end; where she said that while the Trump administration is in favor of freedom of the press that there is also some responsibility they should share.

Really, what was he supposed to do? Republicans still go on about how he's a secret Muslim trying to replace the constitution with Sharia law. He's not wrong to think people would have blindly accused him of trying to sway the election. And as long as there's no "hard proof" to these claims, Republicans would have ignored them even harder than they are now.

I thought that juniors change after 6 months or 500 posts.
TBH, any opinion of them or favor to freedom of the press is all good, but saying that they should probably clean office to have a better relationship is all bull. People will disagree with polls, but its no concern of theirs to see who they hire or fire. Just like in any other media or even business. Crazy how they are trying to deconstruct the media.
Also, they did say that she is really smart trying to link both Buzzfeed and CNN news together to make it stick. *sigh. its really alarming.

So if this is all true, Trump has ties with Russia, because they wouldn't have presented him and Obama with this report unless it was true like people have been saying.
How come nothing is happening?
Wouldn't they just give it to Obama, arrest Trump for treason or whatever charge?

If you're going to be fucked either way, do what's right.

Bernstein: "And that is what she(Conway) is. A propaganda minister."

They're still investigating.
15 minutes in and I had to stop.
I've seen tons of Conway interviews and they all go the same way, I don't think I've actually seen her answer a single question, all he does is try and move the conversation elsewhere.
Also, I like how she is still blaming Hillary for shit. 4 years from now, when she has to make up some bullshit for the dumb shit Trump did that day, she will still bring up Hillary.

Ah OK, I thought they'd known about this for months, I guess it takes time.

Obama wasn't trying to get Mike Pence/Paul Ryan in the Oval Office. Obama didn't publicize this for the same reason sane folks justly criticized James Comey for publicizing his VERY IMPORTANT ongoing investigation into Huma Abedin's duplicate emails. There's no there there yet. It's still an ongoing investigation.
Sure, that's fine, but as to the poster I replied to, I wouldn't call that "playing chess."
This is where I'm at right now. I don't want to get my hopes up because the crash is literally depressing.

My problem is that the absolute worst case isn't that nothing happens, it's that Trump destroys the intelligence agencies after being inaugurated and the fascist nightmare begins. I'd rather not dwell on that possibility too much...

Those three piss me off so much. So much rage builds up.
The whole Trump conference (and appointment of Tillerson etc) seriously gives me 1984 vibes, particularly the theme of an adored leader implementing "Transferred Nationalism".
Per Wikipedia:
Although it's taking slightly longer than one sentence, Trump is pulling off the transfer of nationalism from anti-Russia to pro-Russia.
There is mastery at work, here, and it's unsettling and dangerous.

Even Fox News is defending CNN. http://mashable.com/2017/01/11/shep-smith-backs-cnn/#IjUvhhGjQaqH

the timing is very important
if it was after the primary, i don't know what he could have actually done without it coming across as using the US intelligence apparatus to get an unfair advantage in an election
if it was during the primary, i guess that in theory they could have gotten away with releasing info. the question is how accurate it would be at the time.
and then there's that whole story of Democrats actually wanting Trump to win the primary because it would be easy to defeat someone who was 'unelectable', but i don't know the truth/fiction behind that angle. i would not be too surprised if they were playing a dangerous game and essentially gambling with the country's future in order to make Hillary's path smoother
That is not going to make it easier for him or his administration to hide from the truth.Doing that will force intelligence community outside the US to find the truth about trump's russia connections which will make it's way to the American people eventually.

Was listening to BBC radio 4 just now. Found out that Hustler and Penthouse magazines in the US have offered a $1,000,000 reward for any compromising video.
Will a disloyal FBS officer in Russia deliver?
Will a disloyal FBS officer in Russia deliver?
By which point Trump and his administration will have stripped the American people of their ability to do anything about it.
It's time to start thinking worse case scenario, folks. I mean, our president-elect is a fascist. Why keep trying to look for a silver lining?

I skimmed the top 50 Tweets of his Twitter account and just felt all kinds of sadness and frustration. Sucks to know that some fellow GAF members are like that.
God, I hate this asshole of a human being. She's consistently infuriating, just endless obvious bullshit.
May she drown with the rest of the ship.

So it seems that's not just Shep's stance, but the Fox News organization's? At least based on the phrasing. Too bad Fox is just as much to blame for this - the whole reason Trump can so effectively shut down media criticism is due to Fox themselves cultivating distrust for the media and delegitimizing it among their conservative followers all these years. It just took them until now to realize how at risk they are for it all to be turned against them as well (which has already started happening).
