TRUMP SCANDAL! No, not that one. Or that one. Or that one. Or that one. The FBI and CIA are investigating an attempted hack on the Trump Organization. According to a report from ABC citing unnamed officials with the intelligence agencies, it is believed someone overseas attempted to breach the President's international real estate holding company. The report claims that officials and …
"Attempted" hacks happen to everyone. I see a bunch of hits at my desktop's SSH port every day.
The consequences if Trump were successfully hacked would be a lot worse than if I was successfully hacked, of course, especially if they were able to find something to hold over his head. Of course, that may have already happened, and might explain his love for Putin and all things Russia!
... might explain his love for Putin and all things Russia!
But totally Fails to explain why The Donald in spite of this manly "love" has loaded his administration to the max with cold-warriors, military blow-hards and security-state cronies? Oh and The Flopping (since he didn't even get to "Flip" first) on every, single, issue in his campaign.
Unless .... whoever "has something" is pretty much the same lot that ran Hillary Clinton.
.... "They" didn't mind much Hillary selling off all that Uranium to the Russians, so we can expect The Donald to get a break too by the people that matter - which are not the whiny dims and their now obsolete party machinery. Obsolete because The Donald runs The Graft now.
Nuke - Because that was what Craazy Killlary would have done.
He hasn't flopped on every issue from his campaign. Merely those that promised to benefit ordinary Americans, like cheaper/better health insurance, infrastructure spending, bringing back factory jobs, draining the swamp. If you voted for him on those grounds - well, the more fool you.
But some issues he's been steadfast on. Cutting taxes for the rich, specifically himself and his family, he's pretty firm on that. Appointing a conservative to the Supreme Court. Being anti-abortion. Increasing military spending. Basically, everything the Republican party orthodoxy is into, he's right there beside them, because he knows he needs their support.
"The consequences if Trump were successfully hacked would be a lot worse than if I was successfully hacked," ... but would they really be? Trump is such a disaster that in theory the hackers could go in and unintentionally cause improvements. Like deleting files for stupid ideas. Or dumping a huge porn collection for him to watch at 3 am instead of twittering. Or planting a fake Obama birth certificate from Kenya, which would get him so excited the resulting explosion of his head would be HUGE.
Or it could just be Putin checking up on his "investments."
It wasn't Russians who hacked the DNC's emails: Seth Rich gave Kim Dotcom the DNC emails, so he could forward them to Wikileaks, then he died in mysterious circumstances, just as the Russian Hackers conspiracy was rolled out by the DNC to undermine Trump’s Presidency.
Proof that Trump was not a russian Puppet was delivered fairly convincingly when he used Cruise missiles against a Syrian Airfield also used by the Russians. He did give Russia warning so they could avoid losing their planes and pilots, but that was to avoid starting WWIII.
If Seth Rich gave anything to Kim Dotcom, then Dotcom would have published it to the world himself, and he would have done it months ago. Now there's a man who doesn't know the meaning of the word "shy".
And if Kim Dotcom has any actual evidence, he could be a lot more convincing.
Apart from him being a semi-literate real estate developer who behaves like an elephant in must in a porcelain shop full with progressive and necon false idols (idols that are squamous yet ruguous), as well as having a definite lack of oily suaveness / fake coolness expected in high-pedigree presidential material, I still don't see what is so douchebag about him. (Well, I wouldn't let my daughter near any of that, true.)
Of course, one is expected to behave like we are told, and we ARE told. All the time via throwaway lines....
In the months following the election, the FBI and Congress have launched investigations into just how much (if anything) the Trump campaign knew of the Russian meddling.
Especially as said "Russian meddling" is still , in spite of more than a year of overheated talk and innuendo, generally by necon/globalist outlets like the NYT, not apparent.
On the other hand, nobody is looking at the bizarre killing of Seth Rich, DNC ex-leaker.
(Here is a link on how Trump and Putin may be connected though: The Happy-Go-Lucky Jewish Group That Connects Trump and Putin: Where Trump's real estate world meets a top religious ally of the Kremlin.. Pretty good.)
...idols that are squamous yet ruguous...
I will give you an up-vote for the attempt at a Lovecraft reference, though the latter is spelled "rugose" (see The Shadow out of Time).
@John Brown (no body): he's not. He's never been concerned about that, and the USA has never applied for it.
What he's concerned about is having to do jail time in Sweden. Everything else is just a blind, because - and brace yourself for a shock here, I know it's hard to believe - Assange is a born poseur.
To a first approximation, and probably a further refinement or two, the reported action is not materially different from the attempt by the FBI in late 2015 to alert the Democratic National Committee that their servers had been penetrated. The main difference seems to be that that the Trump organization paid attention, rather than ignoring it for months of repeated FBI contacts as the DNC did.
> "Well now the CIA and FBI have a legitimate reason to rummage around in the Trump organization systems..."
Oh? You really believe that it's okay that a failed intrusion attempt on a private company should trigger a full-scale FBI/CIA fishing expedition, complete with hip-waders? I hate to burst your bubble here, but reality is calling and it says no.
Besides, there's new management coming in, so you can easily blame any inaction concerning this wish-fulfillment fantasy of yours on "obstruction." ;-/
Are we sure it wasn't the FBI/CIA/... in the first place just using a VPN so that they *appeared* to be in another country :)
BTW: have to wonder if the rest of the organisation is still using out-of-date (and more importantly out of security updates) software like the campaign team were....
Hey John, I hate to burst your bubble here, but reality is calling and it says you are a fool. The Orange idiot that you elected is a Russian stooge.
Wake up and smell the coffee.......

Hi, I see you are currently on fire - would you like me to put it out?
"On Fire? That's crazy, I am not on fire, I am.... my parents lived... and that's why Islam is.... and it was the biggest arms deal the US has ever done, it was the greatest, much better than any deal that has been done before... and that's why I am not on fire...."
Uh... OK - but I can literally smell your flesh burning and see the actual flames....
"Flames? No... that's fake news - I have the best words - I have the best people - I have the best intel, I have people that would tell me if I was on fire..."
---
I imagine this is very close to how a conversation about Donald Trump being on fire might play out....
You all hate a president that you think is "racist" because he took a stand against Islamic Terrorism whilst there are 22 sets of parents in Manchester burying their children, whilst their Mayor repeats the false narrative "It's nothing to do with Islam", especially as he relied on the Muslim vote to get into power.
...and yet almost every US terrorist act has been carried out by white Christians.
You pillock
Yup, always suspected 911 was really done by the Quakers, it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for
... but in your defence at least you're not blaming the Jews as usual. Now wonder why Trump will be re-elected.
- what's going on with the Reg suffering an infestation of Guardian-types recently ?
9/11 was a big, very big exception.
I'm so sorry yes it was a one off... just like the other Quaker terrorist attacks in the US:
- Fort Hood army base massacre by Nidal Hasan
- Waltham throat slashing murders of three Jewish men by Ibragim Todashev
- Boston Marathon bombing, by Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev
- Vaughan Foods sharia beheading attack by Jah'Keem Yisrael
- Chattanooga recruiting centre massacre by Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.
- University of California, Merced stabbing jihad by Faisal Mohammad
- San Bernardino massacre by Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik
- Nazareth Restaurant, Ohio machete jihad by Mohamed Barry
- Ohio State University car jihad by Abdul Artan.
- Orlando gay nightclub massacre, by Omar Mateen kills 49 people and injures 53 (in the process breaks the record for the largest mass shooting in U.S. history)
Definetly Quakers the lot of em ! .. Keep reading the Guardian and then wonder why someone like Trump can become President.
Well done, over many years you have found 11 examples of Muslims causing atrocities in the USA. Now then, maybe we should talk about the approx 30,000 gun related deaths in the USA every year?
Or, should you choose to define a "mass shooting" as 3 or more victims at one event, the practically daily occurrence of said shootings?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34996604
Sure you might not like the BBC as a politically neutral news source, but you can check up on the facts and report any that are actually incorrect.
Terrorism is defined an act of violence for a political or religious motive.
And yes .. those wicked Quakers have topped the US League with more than 11.
2016 - 44, 2015 - 79, etc..etc..etc.. I'm tempted to LMGTFY, but meh
https://www.newamerica.org/in-depth/terrorism-in-america/part-i-overview-terrorism-cases-2001-today/
Repeating question again: How is it possible a reality TV host like Trump can become President of the US ?
Answwer: It's when the Jezza/Belsen-Burnham leftist solution is .. "Hug-A-Jihadi you proletarian chavs; so when the bomb goes off it'll shield the blast"
"Answwer: It's when the Jezza/Belsen-Burnham leftist solution is .. "Hug-A-Jihadi you proletarian chavs; so when the bomb goes off it'll shield the blast"
You're still either completely ignorant or deliberately trolling. Jihadi/terrorist often are Muslim, but few of the many many millions of Muslims are jihadist.. Same applies to Christians or any other religion.
@ Yamal Dodgy Data
Terrorism - that's nothing, the so called "Islamic Terrorists" are completely ineffective, We Americans are much better at killing Americans than they are, "Islamic Terrorists" are rank amateurs when compared to the NRA sponsored "2nd Amendment Terrorists" ...
"Yup, always suspected 911 was really done by the Quakers, it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for"
They key word you missed was "almost".
"... but in your defence at least you're not blaming the Jews as usual."
Feel free to peruse my posting and history and quote even one single instance of that. Your statements seem to be ignorant and bigoted.
There was another terrorist attack in the US, a white supremacist stabbed three persons, two to death.
It came a few days after a 22 year old black student was stabbed to death by another white supremacist.
Two terrorists attacks in less than a week, and not a word from Trumpy to condemn these actions or address the right wing terrorist threat in his own country. And you would made us believe he is not racist? And pigs fly too.
I dislike Trump because he's a disingenuous, divisive, self-centered, short termist, thin skinned narcissist and a political imbecile. Trump is using his newly bestowed power to further enrich himself and his family. He's also using his power to seek revenge against anyone/entities who wouldn't capitulate to him in the past whilst providing opportunity and a platform for his already rich buddies to further enrich themselves. He is the epitome of an autocratic super villain and is despised as such. Luckily leaders of other nations, not our cuckold lily-livered PM, don't suffer that fool gladly and are teaching Trump he's only the centre of his own world...
Funny, I like Donald Trump for pretty much the same reasons - the true nature of USA needs to be exposed, America taken down a notch or three - their stupid wars need to be stopped or at least carried out at home. The Donald is The Man for fixing all that!!
And More:
In only one meeting with Donald Trump, the notoriously slow-on-the-beat Angela Merkel realised what was obvious for a decade or more, one cannot rely on the US (or the UK), one has to think and act for oneself:

Like magick that guy is!!
You all hate a president that you think is "racist" because he took a stand against Islamic Terrorism
Arming Saudi Arabia is NOT "taking a stand against islamic terrorism", it's "aiding and abetting". Like the UK providing air support for the very same bunch of monkeys turning up in the UK claiming asylum and - lo and be hold - returning the favour by committing terrorist acts. What was wrong about letting Ghadaffi kill a bunch of Jihaddis?
script for "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, World" that was rejected for being too far fetched.
As each day goes by he seems to be morphing more and more into the George C Scott character from Dr Strangelove.
"Do as I tell you and F**k Congress and the Senate, I'm the effing President and what I say goes or else....?"
This does not bode well for the future of the planet.
"Do as I tell you and F**k Congress and the Senate, I'm the effing President and what I say goes or else....?"
Well, I am sorry, but, the yanks should have thought of all that a long time *before* making the presidency into a bad cross-breed between a God-Emperor and an Letherman tool. The US president can do almost whatever (except porking an intern?) on executive orders alone and he/she/it controls the nukes. It is how it is.
One limits government power and spreads it between competing bureaucracies deliberately breeding inefficiency and sloth - *because* some real cunt just might be elected and that will buy us some time.
...till the powers that be have pushed a few more nasty Exec orders for him to sign then they can throw him under the bus as they planned all along.
Trump was a real gift. A guy who has zero political experience or ambition other than to tick it off a list. He has no real authenticity or bedrock support in Congress or the Senate. He's not really a Republican or a Democrat. I think the hidden elite realised he was the perfect choice for implementing the biggest range of nasty legislation and theft from the US population that no one established politician would ever dare put their name to.
He can be disposed of with little comeback to the Washington clique. The biggest political patsy ever. He and his parasitic family will in the end probably walk away with a billion dollars though and that's the hard part to swallow.
"Well it was all Trump's doing!"
TRUMP IS THE PORTUS and THERS NO way HES BEEN HACKSD. IF he's BEEN HACKED THAN HOW COME the LEFT wing HATERS OF THE USA don't know what he's GOIN TO TWAT about NEXT?? THATS HOW U DU POLICYS - Make them up as YOU GO ALONG tomSTOP THE HATERS. WE have A saying in MY TOWN: ""only. A Fool wears WHITE GLOVES to,wipe his ASS!""
Trump And lady MANILOW will SEE US RIGHT. He came AND HE GAVE WITHOUT TAKING.
There have been so many lies from all sides for so many years, no one knows or even cares anymore what the truth actually is. Most people will (and can) believe whatever they are told. This is the kind of world our so called leaders have created (for us and for themselves).
I do not worship at the alter of any politician. Nor any 'captain of industry' for that matter. I do not see Trump as a god that can do no wrong anymore than I see Steve Jobs that way.
However, I am sick to death of getting a steady stream of lies from politicians, major media outlets, and various think-tanks.
The vast majority of anything that can be labeled as 'scandalous' regarding Trump amounts to nothing more than made-up lies created out of hate by power hungry people that only wish to see the destruction by self induced implosion of the American way of life.
I can't see a single reason for the Russian government to prefer Trump over Clinton. If anything, Putin would have preferred Clinton. Trump was elected by the same rules that gave us eight years of Obama. It does not matter what the Russians think. Clinton lost because of what Clinton did. Crying about it is not any more productive than crying about Obama. What bothers me so much about all this is that everyone wants to be so against Trump while no one seems to care at all about the criminal activity (that has been proven beyond all doubt) of both Clintons. People cry about trump 'not being fit' while completely ignoring how unfit Obama was. People seem to have forgotten how Obama completely lost all control over Airforce1 as it flew over New York...........During HIS first 100 days. People have also forgotten how Hillary welcomed the Russians into American nuclear facilities with open arms as Secretary of State. The list goes on and on.
Politicians are worthless. Open your eyes and see the truth. See for yourself how you are being lied to.
"People seem to have forgotten how Obama completely lost all control over Airforce1 as it flew over New York"I wasn't actually aware that the US President controls all military aircraft remotely, no.
Pretty damn sure he'd not have any direct control over the flight of AF1 either.
But if that's the worst they can accuse him of.. Now that I think of it, I've made mistakes that bad in my life as well - I must be a really bad person. Why, several times I've been on an aircraft and I've COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL of those planes as they flew over various cities. So bad in fact I NEVER HAD CONTROL IN THE FIRST PLACE. Does that make me presidential material, since I make presidential-level mistakes?
