LOL

Technically he'd only get sued for the slander. He'd go to jail for abusing executive power in an attempt to intimidate the people suing him.

If @RepMarkMeadows, @Jim_Jordan and @Raul_Labrador would get on board we would have both great healthcare and massive tax cuts & reform.

BBC: Trump Russia dossier key claim 'verified'

It's been posted, but this article goes into a lot more detail about microtargeting and Cambridge Analyticas role in it. Definitely worth reading.

ahhh so when trump said, "if the election was for popular vote then i would have campaigned differently", it's because he was fully informed about russia's plan to rig the election. nice.

It seems there's enough **** swirling around, we just need to get Riverman to place a bet against impeachment and finish the orange idiot off for good?

Sourced from 'officials with knowledge of the matter' but...

Flynn offers to testify in exchange for Immunity

****ing awesome

The hilariousest response would be "**** you we're subpoenaing you no immunity" and then make him take the 5th a few dozen times

*orders more popcorn*


btw, this Senate Intel Committee hearing is something else (1 hour in, so far)

I'll likely read that, but everything I've seen about Cambridge Analytica is BS hype. It's like someone making the right move even though they leveled themselves.

However, Mercer did make billions data mining then-unknown statistical correlations in market variables and he's clearly intelligent when it comes to such things, particularly in a pre-deep learning form. (He was working on machine translation for IBM using similar tech in the 90s, which has been entirely eclipsed by machine translation via deep learning, though some of the underlying methods and data handling/processing, I believe, are similar.)

So, Cambridge Analytica can surely tell you that a 25 y/o unmarried or "it's complicated" woman in NE Ohio who likes basset hounds and gin rummy only has a 48% chance to vote (assuming they can get real names and cross-reference them to voting rolls) and a 35% chance to support Trump (assuming they can get that % via some other demographic data, like exit polls, which aren't accurate at such a granular level. They can't get who you voted for from the state or any other source).

So, great, maybe you know where the non-voters are who are likely to support your candidate, but actually getting them to vote or persuading others to support your candidate is the same old problem that campaign managers/workers/supporters have faced for the last 100-200 years.

There is nothing that I can tell that gives them a significant edge other than puffery and confusing clients and journalists. This is just standard silicon valley-type hype that hopes to explain the "conspiratorial" election of Trump.

Well, I have news for you, Trump was elected because people are racist idiots who down know how government or public policy work, don't understand law or history, are easily mislead by propaganda and flattery, and their own overly-simplistic emotionally-based self-justifying understanding of reality. That will be $1M dollars, tyvm.

lol wow ISIS really let trump down here. i mean, they totally left him hanging. he gave them the alley-oop, and they just ****ing sat there getting airstrikes called on them in mosul like dopes

And there it is. Get ready for more crazy actions and scrambling in Washington.

EDIT: I still think this is what Nunes learned the night of the secret WH trip.

Flynn gonna testify.

I saw the letter to the intel committees today. How is the Trump WH openly allowed to interact with the very people investigating them? I don't get it.

wasnt flynn's son the guy who ran his mouth a lot?

Well yea, if you didn't commit a crime you probably wouldn't ask for immunity.

Yes. Pizzagate in particular, iirc.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38231532

ya just checked his twitter.

some gems as early as today on there! including calling the cnn source from like yesterday fake news for saying flynn is flipping

ps: I hope flynn has an army of bodyguards right now...

Bernie Bros were played too

I vaguely remember a profile on one of the Trump team's analytics company or whatever, and they were bragging about their voter suppression efforts.

and trump was always very careful to play nice with bernie voters! i've remarked on this many times including when it was happening live. trump is so deeply connected to this russian intelligence campaign, i'm gonna be pissed af when he pardons all these people and rides off scott free
