"In fact, Mook took [Trump] so seriously that his team's internal, if informal, guidance was to hold fire on Trump during the primary and resist the urge to distribute any of the opposition research the Democrats were scrambling to amass against him."

"Rubio's high-profile crumbling was the first inflection point: the Trump threat was more real than ever to Clinton's operatives, who stepped up their paid research efforts and began more seriously discussing how a Trump electoral map would differ."

politico.com/magazine/story…
Note that this article suggests that Rubio's "high-profile crumbling" was him losing the debate on February 6, 2016.

"By the end of the night, the narrative was set: Marco Rubio had just lost it all on the debate stage."

"but who is in charge of the Trump swift boat project? Needs to be ready, funded and unleashed when we decide"

pewdiepie won't.
I just watched the clip and it's Baked Alaska doing the Hit or Miss song, but it's Alex Jones voice clips. That's it. But yes, pewdiepie will now be declared a Nazi again by the media.

"Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab turned Harold T. Martin III in to the NSA after receiving strange Twitter messages in 2016 from an account linked to him".
"Martin used an anonymous Twitter account with the name 'HAL999999999' to send five cryptic, private messages to two researchers at [Kaspersky Lab]."

"After each researcher responded to the confusion messages, Hal blocked them."

politico.com/story/2019/01/…
August 13, 2016 was the first message to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.

"So... figure out how how we talk. With Yevgeny present."

"Shelf life, three weeks."

In the Equation Group dump is a module known as "m12000000", or TADAQUEOUS, which does not have a Listening Post (LP) attached to it.

"It can only be loaded and unloaded through this interface, not controlled, and it will spit an error message."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
What apparently TADAQUEOUS does is cripple or disable IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security.

"Most of the symbols are not standard Linux symbols but specific to the TOS/Fortinet implementation."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
"I read this to mean that the hardware or software of the system running IPsec was compromised, causing it to send valid protocol ESP packets, but creating those in such a way that these could be decrypted without knowing the ESP session keys (from IKE)".

1/ BASED GRASSLEY

"...an entirely different kettle of fish."
2/ On election night 2016, Chuck Grassley must have looked back at the previous year and considered how wild it was just up to that point. A surprise opening on the supreme court put Grassley and Mitch McConnell in the position where they refused to take up the Garland nomination
3/ That decision led to much heartache among the democrats and castigation aimed directly @ Grassley

Not to mention the Clinton email saga which he played an oversight role in and all against the backdrop of a nasty presidential campaign season. Nevertheless, Iowa re-elected him

Interesting on its own, this story about how Russian trolls pushed vaccine debates in the US includes several other key points that are worth examining. THREAD
www-m.cnn.com/2018/08/23/hea…
First of all, it's fascinating to me just from the standpoint of how even the most absurd propositions can draw wide audiences, when thinking people should be able to dismiss them out of hand. 2/
Second, the fact that we will argue ad inifinitum about subjects that don't deserve a second look is a serious indictment of something - either our inherently American contrariness or the ground-leveling effect social media has. 2/

I have just spent a week with a man I have met over 35 years ago, who is today a Trump supporter.

He & I were like brothers back then. We went on a short trip together & talked about America.

It was fascinating, I'll write a few highlights of our conversation below.
#resist
The first thing he asked me was whether or not I like Trump.

I wasn't interested in a pointless confrontation, so I instead returned the question to him.

He said he doed. I asked him why and he told me about his achievements. And THAT is when it got interesting. 2/?
#resist
He wasn't stating numbers/actions. He said things such as "jobs are back, America is safer, the economy is good, no more terrorism, no more illegal immgrants."

I could've debated him. But he was an opportunity for me to have non defensive responses to any questions. 3/?

Those who have followed me for a long time can vouch for the fact that I remained neutral to positive about Bernie long after many others had taken on more negative views.

And I maintained strong relationships w/ persons most would now call 'Bros' well into the Fall of 2015. 1/
I'd sent small donations to the crank from VT several times over the years. Like many, I found him endearing, especially since so few seemed to take his far-left tilted rhetoric overly seriously.

He was that embarrassing uncle whose heart always seemed in the right place. 2/
And though his criticisms of the Democratic Party were often pointed, it felt as the years went on, like part of his schtick that he didn't know how to let go of. His own Linus's blanket.

I wasn't even put off by his inclusion in the Dem primary at first, for a few reasons. 3/
