Comment Re:The US still imports uranium from Russia (Score -1, Troll) 161

NPR does the typical propagandist thing and distorts the claim and debunks that. "Claim: Clinton played a key role in helping Russia gain control of U.S. uranium supplies." That wasn't and isn't the claim.

The claim is that her and Obama oversaw the Uranium One deal which sold Uranium to Russia, which is true. Both Clinton and Obama had oversight and authority over the nine CFIUS agencies that approved the deal, and they allowed it to go through. Therefore, the buck stops with them.

I love seeing boomers like yourself seethe and spit vitriol and then link to something as laughably propagandistic as articles like that, though. It's your own brainrot. You've lost the ability to discern reality from what your precious trusted MSM tells you to believe. I think it might stem from a lack of religion in your life; you need something to fill the hole.

I remember when they made that change too, and it baffled me, until I realized that their new goal was to abuse their users and that they were starting to decline. That was around the time of Google Buzz, if I recall, when Search started to act like it knew better than you (even though the results were always worse).

Also don't get me started on them buying DejaNews, integrating it with Google Groups, and then killing it--Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

I'm being an asshole because it's to underscore a point about how people like yourself engage with this conversation. You don't even have the basic facts and you mouth off like you're knowledgeable, but you're not. Look at the garbage you've spewed in just a paragraph:

> The prosecution was considering a no jail plea bargain, but MIT would not agree to the deal.

Wrong. MIT didn't WANT Aaron Swartz prosecuted from the get-go. It was Carmen Ortiz who pushed for charges, wanting a desirable conviction under that digital crime act.

>It's a fact that Aaron was facing a realistic outcome of 6 months or less, with a oossibility of no time

He would've had to have admitted that he was essentially a digital domestic terrorist. He wanted to fight the charges because he was innocent of what they were accusing him of. It was bullshit about opening a locked computer cabinet to download _public domain articles_ being equivalent to high-level wire fraud and CFAA violations. The maximum penalties were 35 years in prison and $1M in fines. These laws were not intended to prosecute someone who did what he did.

I'm angry because boomer retards have a certain synaptic failure where they're unable to process anything beyond "well uh if he had just taken that plea deal, he'd only have to serve a few months in tha prison [and pay just a few tens of thousands of dollars, plus a hundred thousand dollars in legal fees--never mentioned]".

>He's your martyr.

Wrong, and you don't know anything about me. And irrelevant to the argument. Fuck off.

>Your problem is that he's not our martyr. From your AI Yes, it is accurate that Aaron Swartz

Nothing pisses you off more than someone exposing that part of what you believe is wrong, and you're willing to lie and gaslight to try and squirm out admitting you were wrong. Boomer idiot.

>Like how the news in 2008 was saying NYC would be underwater by 2015? Is NYC underwater? Is the coastline of NYC any higher?
