Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[rjs246]

Every brainless backwoods hick who doesn't like the elite, every intellectually lazy moderate who complains about government waste, every conservative who thinks that the government doesn't do anything of use... they're all about to get an object lesson in institutional incompetence. Wide spread saturation of cluelessness from representatives who work in government despite having no idea how government is supposed to work. From heads of departments who believe that those departments should be shuttered. All directed from above by the most flamboyantly elitist con-man in our culture's recent history.

I'd like to think that the slavering masses will learn something from the debacle of the next four years but I'm pretty sure their capacity to learn was long ago sapped by religion and Ronald Reagan hero worship. All we can do is wait for the baby boomers to die and hope that they haven't permanently farged the rest of us in the ass.

Solid plan.  My mother cancelled her newspapers and declared she would no longer pay any attention to political life, no longer vote, etc.

i have a house in ticonderoga...central ny sucks...not that the town im in isnt super ignorant but im on the vermont border and go there all the time for day trips and shtein...burlington is an amazing mini city

Solid plan.  My mother cancelled her newspapers and declared she would no longer pay any attention to political life, no longer vote, etc.

minus the voting part im pretty much in the same place right now...havent read the front page of the post or watched any tv news shows since the result...part of it is depression and hopelessness but its mostly anger...anger at the mainstream media treating trump like a normal peotus and refusing to call him on anything...when maher returns ill probably watch that but im not even sure

[smeags]

I go there for one reason, fishing, but yeah, other than that, it sucks up there as far as the political/human mindset.

if I could ever find the pic of the billboard that used to be on the side of i81 outside of Syracuse, you'd see a prime example of it.

Spot on.

What trips me out about the Reagan deep throating is that he hated the Russians and communism. But those same people are a-ok with The Fuhrer being BFF's with Vladdy.

because they will wrap their lips around any cock that helped get the dems out of office.

Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility, showing risk to U.S. electrical grid security, officials say

A code associated with the Russian hacking operation dubbed Grizzly Steppe by the Obama administration has been detected within the system of a Vermont utility, according to U.S. officials.

While the Russians did not actively use the code to disrupt operations, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a security matter, the discovery underscores the vulnerabilities of the nation's electrical grid. And it raises fears in the U.S. government that Russian government hackers are actively trying to penetrate the grid to carry out potential attacks.

trump is such a disgrace that hes ruining us without even trying or anything being his fault....because hes all anyone wants to talk about i feel like everyone is focusing on him and his relationship with putin and not at all on how vulnerable our infrastructures are

[Diomedes]

How does today's revelation of Russian state hacking into the utility grid of Vermont change things?

It doesn't, but it DOES illustrate (to us and the rest of the world, friend and foe) just how vulnerable we are. I would have thought that the 2003 NYC blackout would have urged us to action but hahahahalolololhahaha we're incapable of learning anything ever. USA! USA!

You guys are depressing me.
