Comment Re:we already know about the DNC hacker... (Score 1) 210

It looks like all they have shown is the files were probably copied to a USB drive AT SOME POINT. Didn't really show that the source system was the DNC servers unless I missed that part. When moving files between volumes it's very difficult to preserve time stamps, you end up with times stamps for when the copy between volumes occurred.

Comment Re:IP addresses mean jack shit (Score 1) 210

So what you are saying is that a non-Russian hacker was able to mask his IP address to an IP address used by Russian intelligence? That's still suspicious as hell. If we are talking IPv4,TCP then you need a good source and destination IP address to set up a session handshake. If I make a connect to your system but put a bad source IP in the IP header there is no TCP connection and we can't talk anything that relies on TCP, HTTP for example. When you say it's easy to mask your IP you are right you can VPN to a different system or NAT to a different IP address. That is not what we are talking about in this case. Russian Intelligence was the last known hop for this traffic. Where the connection went from there is unknown. But the fact that was the last hop is very significant.

Comment Re:Ideology is no way to govern (Score 1) 481

It looks to me like they are picking and choosing which deductions/credits to keep or remove. What was their process for deciding which to remove or keep if it was not ideologically based? I don't think the argument that this credit is mostly used by the rich is wrong. The models of cars where the credit is no available (over 200k have been sold) are in the middle class price range. I would have no problem tapering off the credit at a certain car cost.

Comment Re:The subsidy is a wealth transfer to the well-of (Score 1) 481

This can be said about any credit besides the EIC. You actually have to have the liability to use it. There are all sorts of things we subsidize if you earn enough money. I think all credits need to be eliminated or made refundable like the EIC so they are useful to other income levels.

Comment Re:undocumented immigrant (Score 1) 440

This is not a fair argument. The problem is not with religion as a whole, it is that the religion being talked about or being displayed is a very thin slice of what religion is. The is the very definition of respecting an establishment of religion. If you value the constitution that display must go. Now if you wanted to have a weekly prayer choosing a different religion each week that would satisfy me, even as a rabid atheist. I doubt in the situations you are complaining about you would accept that.

Comment Re:Still pretty affordable (Score 2) 393

Is that all you got? During the same time the R's were all in favor of propping up the banks. Why were they not in favor of propping up the auto industry? Was it because the auto industry employed people with low incomes and had unions? You would have to do a lot to convince me otherwise. You can argue all you want the CFC was a wealth transfer but it kept a lot of blue collared works employed during the worst recession of my lifetime. But keep saying that both sides are bad. I know it's not true and I vote.
