Cool idea.
My first thought: I think you should find some sort of third party to arbitrate in cases where the owner of the site applies to be removed, or a site is submitted and it's a 'close call'. You need some evidence that your decisions are without bias. Giving yourself absolute power in which sites are on the list or not is a going to hurt the chances of this taking off. I would expect most sites that are aware they on the list to claim something like: "we're only on the list bc our competitors paid NotATether."
Any plans to develop a stand alone browser extension? It would be cool to have the option to add some sort of warning (a reference link would be nice also) stickied at the top of any site on the list instead of just blocking them.

PA and MI seem very likely to go Blue.
You hear about the protests at the MI capital in Lansing? All those people pissed and even protesting right in the capital building against the D governor while open carrying "assault" rifles? (Beautiful!) Michigan social media is just packed with posts hating on Gretchen Whitmer (D gov) over the lockdown.. DJT's signature is on all the letters for the $1,200 stimulus payments.. No bullshit marijuana legalization crap on the ballot this time (that I know of) to drag out all the stoners to vote for it and all the free shit they can while they are at it.. I'm thinking Ds are going to have a hard time in the next election in Michigan especially.. People are pissed about the lockdown.. Even D voters (bernie bros) I know are pissed at the D gov over it.. Even I'm pissed because I can't get the stupid fucking government to transfer my license plates from my winter car (down for maintenance) to my summer car.. Secretary of State offices are closed until the 27th.. No option to transfer plates online.. No option to make an SOS appointment, even on/after the 27th, to transfer plates.. Not taking phone calls or anything.. So screw them, I'm driving with the wrong plates on my car, and will tell them they can eat a bag of dicks over it if they want to give me a hard time about it.. If they pull me over I'm gonna cough as much as I can.. You're probably fine. I know in NY, NJ, CT all licenses and registrations that expired after March 1 are extended indefinitely. Maybe just carry around registration for the car the plates are supposed to be on.
You're taking this too personally LOL. I'm driving with expired temp tags, not too worried. By definition 8-16% of drivers will have some sort of registration issue after 1-2 months if shutdown so there is probably going to be some leniency otherwise local courts will get DDOSed with contested tickets.
P.S. Trump will lose. It doesn't take much to revive your hopeless fantasies does it? Another libtard pwnd. Nice one tecshare. |

This is a lie that's been getting more coverage than the actual allegations on right wing media.
Left wing media is actually criticizing bidens handling of the issue more than right wing media... You mean those endless choices of right leaning media on TV? Which ones? (other than your go to Fox) We are waiting... Media does not refer exclusively to television and neither was I. But if you're looking for right leaning media on television other than Fox, check out OANN, newsmax, skynews and most likely your local news (if it's owned by Sinclair). Of course you aren't! Why would you refer to media that reaches the largest audience on TV when you can bring up small companies that have little to no widespread television coverage? (except maybe Skynews, but I don't know how "right leaning that is)How could something like that effect public perception right? Lets take a look at the list of the largest left leaning media outlets on TV. CNN MSNBC ABC CBS Bloomberg Al Jazeera BBC CBC HLN Telemundo + all the other non news channels that shoehorn leftism into their coverage at any opportunity. I wasn't trying to argue with you. You asked me for a list of right-leaning television channels. I gave you a direct answer. You'll notice of the two left wing media sources I used, one has a television channel (cnn), the other is internet based (buzzfeed). |

What have I not proven. If we can agree that the above is true I'll move on to the false statements and omissions he made on is FARA filing.
...
I have to hand it to you. You've just proved that the BBC, XINHUA, CARE, AIPAC, RT, Al Jazeerra, and Fox News, and about ten thousand Chinese agents in universities need to register as a foreign agents. Including a couple Chinese agents who wrote Badecker's prize find report "Fire did not down World Trade Center Building 7". Not to mention John Podesta, Diane Feldstein's chauffeur, Hillary's bosom buddy Huma Aberdin, Valarie Jerret, and Debbie Wasserman's IT dickhead. In late 2016 he: 1) Registered as a lobbiest. 2) Did not register as a foreign agent. 3) Lobbied to support Turkey. 4) Was paid $500k by a Turkish company. In March 2017 he: 5) Registered retroactively as a foreign agent because of his actions in late 2016. Let's try to look at the whole thing objectively and put political views aside. Do you believe that these 5 things are true? I don't have any idea if they are true. Therefore, I do not "believe they are true." Ok. I'll give you some information so you have an idea. Let's start with #1, and I'll be more specific - there are 2 parts really: A) Flynn was the chairman and CEO of FLYNN INTEL GROUP INC. B) FLYNN INTEL GROUP INC. disclosed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act that they were going to lobby the federal government in early 2016.
A) Here's a letter submitted to the senate by Flynns lawyer. We'll get to the actual contents of the letter later, for now just notice the first sentence: https://efile.fara.gov/docs/6406-Registration-Statement-20170307-1.pdfWe write on behalf of our clients Flynn Intel Group and its Chairman and CEO, General Michael T. Ftynn Also notice that Michael Flynns last name is used in FLYNN INTEL GROUP INC B) Here's a lobby disclosure act filing, made by FLYNN INTEL GROUP INC 9/15/2016: https://soprweb.senate.gov/index.cfm?event=getFilingDetails&filingID=38f812b5-2692-449a-9f02-15ed82f4ec24&filingTypeID=1
So, do have an idea now as to whether or not Flynn was involved with lobbying the federal government in late 2016? |

Why would Flynn plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit?
To avoid being charged for the more serious crimes he did commit. Present the evidence to back this assertion. I already did. You think that a retired 3 star general lobbying America policy makers to support another country without disclosing the fact that he was paid $500k by foreign interest is 'a manufactured process crime'. Spendulus took a different route and pivoted to "he wasn't charged with the crime so I don't care stop talking about it" attitude. I could also prove that when he eventually did file as a foreign agent, he made materially false statements and omitted information he was required to provide, but honestly I don't think there's literally anything that would convince either of you that Flynn committed serious crimes. Trump said he's innocent - in your minds that trumps any actual facts. Plus you could always just google a bunch of articles defending Flynn. No, you really have not shown that he was guilty. I understand that you think you have, but you have not. You'd have to do quite a bit of research, and prepare a properly argued brief, to get half way where you think you already are. You'd have to cover the common arguments by defense in said brief. And defeat those arguments. There are many technical details in such a matter, and there are numerous standards to be met before a DA would take a case and bring it to court. He'd have to be pretty certain that he was going to win, right? In late 2016 he: Registered as a lobbiest. Did not register as a foreign agent. Lobbied to support Turkey. Was paid $500k by a Turkish company. In March 2017 he: Registered retroactively as a foreign agent because of his actions in late 2016. What have I not proven. If we can agree that the above is true I'll move on to the false statements and omissions he made on is FARA filing. Or, if you think it's not a big deal like TECSHARE I won't bother.

lawful behavior of investigators in collecting evidence
Care to show me what they did was illegal? Last time I looked at it, it wasn't. That's the fault of the crap laws involved and not the actions of the FBI. You can argue about the morality about it all you want, but as far as I know, it wasn't illegal. Granted I looked at it a few months ago so maybe something new has come to light. The main complaint seems to be that they didn't tell him that it's illegal to lie to the fbi. The agents notes were released, they discussed not telling him at first because they wanted him to be relaxed when they asked him questions that they already knew the answers to and would force him to either lie, confess or refuse to answer. |

Okay, so nevermind that the comment above is one of the dumbest things I've read all day, let's talk about Tara Reade. I look at it the scoreboard of sexual misconduct allegations: Trump 25 Biden 1 "Oh but Trumps were all false allegations." Sure... considering its the guy who admitted he liked grabbing women by the pussy, that makes total sense.  "Oh but its Trump, so, you know.. its fine!" There's a big difference between sexual misconduct and rape. What Tara Reade alleges is rape. What Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal allege is not. Telling someone they have a "pretty mouth" is misconduct, sticking your (uninvited) fingers into someone's vagina is rape. One is an ethical issue, the other is criminal. I'm not defending either, but they are not the same. I may be wrong, but as far as I know there haven't been any allegations of rape levied at Trump. Certainly none with evidence as compelling as Tara Reade's case. Regardless of what I just wrote above, the most striking thing about these cases is how the media reacts to them. They promote allegations against those with whom they disagree, while omitting those against their political favorites. That concerns me equally as much as whether the allegations are real or not. In a deposition during divorce negotiations Trumps first wife said Trump raped her and ripped out her hair. An author also accused him of raping her in a dressing room in the mid 90s. |

Imagine if Hunter Biden ....
No, not interested in playing that game. Are you through now bitching about things OTHER THAN what Flynn was charged and convicted of, with gross prosecutorial side malfeasance? Do you put any effort into being objective? I mean, you can't really think it's not a big deal for someone powerful to act as a foreign agent without disclosing it...and lie about it when you get caught....can you? Do you think this should be ok? I think you know it's really fucked up but you just can't bring yourself to say something bad about the guy. |

Ok so never mind the idiot above me. All of his questions can be answered here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegationsI feel like it's pretty likely that Tara Reades first accusations were probably true about her smelling her hair or whatever and then asking her to be a cocktail waitress. There are a bunch of other accusations that are similiar. The shoving her against the wall to finger bang her I'm having a harder time buying. The guys been in DC forever, if he was running around fingering his staff why are only the girls he cheeped out by hugging them for too long coming forward? |

....I feel like you're just looking for any possible way to rationalize to yourself that Flynn is a victim here. He's not a poor minority with a shit public defender. He's a retired 3 star general that's buddys with the president and he got a great deal considering he betrayed the country.
I'm thinking he must be confident that they won't be able to charge him for any of the crimes we know he did. I'm not sure how though. It just wouldn't make sense for him to do what he's doing if he thought it were possible he'd be charged again. The evidence is overwhelming even without the signed admission. His only option would be to....plea to a lesser charge lol.
Explaining to you the reality of plea bargaining is not rationalizing anything to myself. You seem intent on getting people interested in what he WASN'T CHARGED WITH, which puzzles me. There were some very, very wrong things going on on the Gov side in the items he was charged with, and if justice is to be served, those need to be corrected. Pretty much everyone acknowledges Flynn is a victim here, of improper actions by FBI administrators who have been fired for those exact actions. duh... How much can you be blind to ? Incredible that you see it that way. Imagine if Hunter Biden had been lobbying Democrats to push pro-ukraine policies and then it turned out he had secretly been getting paid by Ukraine and the rest played out similar to Flynn with the FBI. Would you consider him a victim? Of course not. And your head would explode if he ended up walking away and declared 'fully exonerated' by the president. The politics shouldn't matter when someone sells out their country. |

... We all already knew that. I think, or I hope we all did. So now we really need to focus on the entrapment and the charge of "lying to the FBI." Because that's what real. If you want to call him a "convicted felon", then that's what you got. No more, no less.
If he finds away to reverse his guilty plea, do you think he should be off the hook for all the charges he avoided by taking the deal? There seems to be enough evidence to go to trial. I would imagine that in a reversed plea deal the dropped charges could be brought back up, if within the statute of limitations. Prosecutors would have to examine that and decide what to do. It would be a new court case and a new trial. But he's already admitted he's guilty of several crimes he wasn't charged with. And even if he didn't, the 4 month late FARA filing was essentially admitting he didn't file within the 10 days required. And it's easy to prove the FARA filing contained false statements. The whole thing is just weird. He wasn't charged with any of the serious crimes he admitted to, and he most likely wasn't going to get any time. He plead guilty bc he got a good deal. It would be like if a cop pulled someone over for a DUI, the guy failed the breathalyzer, but decided to just give him a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. The guy says thank you, pays the fine and then goes to court to try and get the whole thing thrown out bc the cop was lying about his seatbelt. This is the VERY DEFINITION of plea bargaining. If it's weird, it's weird hundreds of thousands of times per year. Virtually all prisons in the US are full then of people, usually of color, who have gone through this "weird" judicial process called plea bargaining. Are you starting to "get it?" Oh, and by the way, the cop that gave him a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt when he failed the breathalyzer? That cop should be fired, and the guy should have the case thrown out. I feel like you're just looking for any possible way to rationalize to yourself that Flynn is a victim here. He's not a poor minority with a shit public defender.

Do you believe that Flynn was being paid by Turkey in 2016 while he was lobbying American politicians to support Turkey in 2016?
Do you believe he did not register as a foreign agent until March 2017?
Do you think it's ethical to lobby for another country that's paying you without being transparent about the fact you're getting paid? (On bitcointalk we call that shilling.)
Do you believe it would be wrong to make false statements when filing for FARA? If so, I'll explain the false statements he made if you need.
So you have some things that you think are illegal, that make Flynn a BAD GUY, and these are different than what he was convicted of? He was convicted of "lying to the FBI." After plea bargaining guilty. WTF? He accepted the plea deal so that he wouldn't be charged with all the crimes he committed. But that's the very nature of plea bargaining, to agree to lesser or fewer charges and move the case rapidly through the court system. We all already knew that. I think, or I hope we all did. So now we really need to focus on the entrapment and the charge of "lying to the FBI." Because that's what real. If you want to call him a "convicted felon", then that's what you got.

....But even if this was the actual case I would still vote for Biden knowing his VP would be somebody other than Trump.
This is true of both candidates. It makes sense if you read what he said before that: His only hope of winning now is to paint Biden as being bedridden with end-stage dementia. Frankly, it seems to be working to a certain degree. But even if this was the actual case I would still vote for Biden knowing his VP would be somebody other than Trump. |
