And now in the "News You'd Rather Not Know" category ...

Weaponized AI Propaganda Machine loose.. Inventor Cambridge Analytica only accepts GOP coin!

ITEOTWAWKI and we all feel fine.

In the most truthful way I find this WAY scary.

How to combat it? Can you? Skynet anyone? Go dark now? Not so possible now that they can closely correlate everything about us from banking, voting, grocery habits, driving patterns, web surfing history, TV viewing habits, phone app usage and of course it all starts with keen analysis of Facebook Likes. Long, detailed story that is as fascinating as it is disgusting.


errr... power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

All while Facebook is profiting handsomely from permitting 'dark ads' to ever run in the first place... all while its stock soars.

The irony.

The game is "Screw the Consumer" and Cambridge Analytica wins with a Zuckerberg assist.

I suppose 'someone' was going to own us anyways.

Sean Doolittle, who has hosted Syrian refugees, will now be working down the street from the president that bars them from the USA.

Hahaha the LA Times just couldn't resist. Funny how all these sports writers fell asleep for 8 years.

 

Why is Ann "controversial"? Because she's not a leftist?
I don't even like her but give me a break.

 

Yeah I think that Rube is spot on, Ann is a raging attention whore and first class drama queen and has learned that inciting peoples wrath pays handsomely.

Don't get me wrong, after 2M+ air miles I think nearly all airlines suck at times. Delta & United more frequently suck filthy balls. American ever so slightly less. Only good airlines anymore are foreign. Emirates, Virgin, Singapore.
But as Rube alluded with the VD reference, shit happens.
Airlines sometimes contrive 'needs' to shuffle people around. (to accommodate exec platinum Me for example)
Most humans cooperate. Not Ann. No not Ann. Now if she spent the extra $30 for their twisted 'extra legroom option' then 'somebody was in those rows that did not. Unless tha airline oversold them. Again. Sort it out, you're in coach anyways. You want better service? Pay for it.

Shit happens. Deal with it.
Or show the world yet again exactly what type of an enormous whiny douche you prefer to be?

And since we've watched Bill Maher torch her numerous times I'm not thinking that they are terriblly close 'buds'

 

I've read excerpts of her books. I don't know which opinions are controversial. I can't speak to her personality. If she's an attention whore, fine. I trust you that she is. There are many other comparable political commentators, authors, and celebs who are ignorant blowhards but they aren't considered "controversial" because of which side of the aisle they're on.

 

Mr Ed was funny. Fail to see the humor in either Coulter and Maher.

 

The article/report called her a controversial figure. I didn't say anything about what YOU or anyone else on here said.

Upon a re-read, the article didn't say that exactly. My mistake. But either way I was referring to the article.

 

shes a bomb thrower and one of the first ever the republicans tossed out there so liberals especially hate her
guys like carville and dean have long been a part of the democratic party but don't get the same scrutiny
its an ugly game but the left started it and now its pretty even as far as i can tell
hooray for all of us
i personally don't think her approach is great but she gets the point across and the left HATES her because of it
she was on one of the comedy roasts recently and have no idea why but it was waaaaaay uncomfortable
still i respect that she did it
and it showed what a bunch of turds the lowlife leftists can be (like we didn't know)
they all got to celebrate what a bunch of cowshit they are after
to speak for conservative ideals will get literal shit thrown at you by the tolerant ones

 

Yeah I just looked it up. Thanks

Good for them.
He drives her Right
She drives him Left.
Whatever
good for them

Can't always choose who you end up being friends with. Time has it's own voice.

 

Absolutely true. She gets segregated treatment both preferential and discrimating. Valid or not, attention whore or not, she DOES get differential treatment. And many times not to her liking.

I think you're correct in that it's due to
a) Heavily Left biased MSM
b) She articulately argues against certain sweetheart progressive/liberal points
c) She self promotes soooooo much that she has become a millionaire so she see little reason to change

And we agree... So? Which one out there doesn't hype themselves and make outlandish statements? They all howl about each other to the extent of what you believe is who you believe. Maybe I'm leaning closer to Maher because I do like what he says. Most of the time. Everyone can be an assclown once in a while.

I find it telling to consider "Who" says what you were already thinking? Who resonates with your inner racist primal animal?

which sources do you cite?
or dispute?
which media bias do you prefer?

Tis that which becomes the color of your shades my friend

 

Yep.

Nope.

Umm hoss 'that' is as far as you can tell?? You call this obstructionist shit stew "even". Best clean them lenses.

Ditto. She defends herself well enough. You don't have to like her views but she states them clear and open enough and defends them as Few do.

Really bubba? Pot meet Kettle. Hello? Working up a little name calling lather from the 'high' grounds of the GOP? LOL??

"Low life turds" is the precise definition of today's GOP. We both know it.

Our (my) old GOP has been fully and completely highjacked.
Moral majority full of religious nuts with tax free $$ lining pockets on one side and and new corporate 'citizens' focusing all thoughts and profits towards lining of pockets on the other side.
Neither with a whit of concern about anything greater than the fleecing of America. Which is NOT what the GOP used to be.

Which you MUST admit is far worse than the softy liberal spending issues that we worried about 20-30 years ago when there was some precept of prudent fiscal spending. We're so far past trying to balance any given budget that I don't think it's even possible. By either side

Too much spending on Grandma already meager Medicare healthcare? or too much spending on tanks the military repeatedly says it doesn't want?

Too much spending on 3rd, 4th generation lifetime welfare recipients (my sore spot) or too much lost taxes to corporate off shore 'tax inversion' shell games enriching other countries?

FYI the annual tax losses with the corporate shell games is 10-100X the amounts of Grandma's healthcare. Taxing that US created wealth rather than arrange repeated "free return" periods pays a great many gubberment bills without killing the poor or Grandma.


If DC had ANY ethics, ANYWHERE then I wouldn't need to keep making these points
