Nooooo Just because we are going down doesn't mean that we are going to stop going down. Buying in when you think you see the floor, sometimes is a little premature (ESP with BTC, it's just too damned volatile all the time). It's sometimes better to sacrifice a little profit, and wait til the reversal trend is a bit more definite. Id take a guaranteed 20 percent gain over a maybe 40 percent gain any day

Hey bro did they fix this for you? I'll start running my mouth off if they haven't

Poloniex, don't make me go full retard

OldmanKidd, help my friend, please. I'm pulling rank.

Shoot him a PM

We are of a similar mind about 9/11. The difference is, I won't go on record with my opinions.

Again, I did not mean to insult you, I was not aware that you are awoken concerning this topic.

Join me over here if you will sir, we are the only guys monitoring the news this morning it seems.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1966643.0

No one seems to be aware of this here, yet, I don't know how because this is the whole of the news, besides the UK burning and those escaped convicts.

More information coming in on the shooter:

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/gop-baseball-practice-shooter-identified-as-66-year-old-james-t-hodgkinson/

The man who shot at Republicans at their early morning baseball practice Wednesday has been identified as 66-year-old  James T. Hodgkinson.

The Washington Post reports that Hodgkinson is a resident of Belleville, Illinois and is the owner of a home inspection business. Records in St. Clair County, Illinois show that Hodgkinson in  April 2006 was charged with battery and aiding damage to a motor vehicle.

His Twitter profile shows that Hodgkinson is a left-wing supporter of Bernie Sanders who has also posted several memes on his Facebook page critical of President Donald Trump. He also called Georgia Republican congressional candidate Karen Handel a “b*tch” for saying she didn’t support a living wage during a debate with Democratic rival Jon Ossoff.

Charles Orear, a 50-year-old restaurant manager from St. Louis, tells the Washington Post that he and Hodgkinson met while campaigning for Sanders in Iowa in 2016.

Left wing terrorist, I'll call it. I'll have to add this to my domestic terrorism thread.

As a leftist/moderate, I have a problem with them not being straightforward and saying 'this was politically motivated'. I hate the way this looks for us, but call a spade a spade. Terror is terror. From the left, of the right.

It took 4 hours to release his name I bet this guy had died in custody before his name got out.

Why are they playing the cards so close with this?

Edit: posted in wrong thread, appended here and deleted that post:

Trump just gave a short speech expressing solidarity. Apparently, the shooter died from his wounds in custody. He asked one of the Congressmen what political affiliation he was, as he was leaving. He told him Republican, and the guy walks away..


...and comes back with an M4. Manages to shoot off at least 50 rounds, hits 5 people, two cops. One of the cops managed to return fire after being wounded, struck the suspect
 If high level Rebuplicans weren't present (leadership gets a security detail), I honestly think all these dudes would be dead. The cops were outgunned, no cops would have meant death clusterfuck.

I'm glad no one died, please keep these people in your prayers

Dude was a supporter of Bernie Sanders. That's the only ideological affiliation they have attributed so far.

Yes, Michelle Obama is a man with ovaries apparently, they work pretty well LOL.


I see you don't find Blacks all that attractive, huh? She looks like the average Black older mom. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to shit on.



The baddest bitch in the White House was Jackie O. Until we get another young, attractive fashionista that redifines style for her cohort, not trying to hear someone denigrate any of our FLOTUSes. You wouldn't talk about a women's beauty out in public. Don't forget your mother's face simply because we are anonymous.

Now, stick to the topic at hand, fawning over a women that wouldn't give any of us the time if day. I'm sure she would appreciate hearing how hot she is from random dudes on the internet

Ah, this is epic. What I want to know is how the fuck they were pulling this off. 3 people can't manage this many identies, even peripherally. I feel there was more people involved in this, they might have busted them when the full crew wasn't present.

If anything, these guys get a cookie. In my book, they weren't doing anything illegal, and effort of this caliber always deserves compliment

The data those guys used. Sweet Jesus the data those guys used.

Here, not even trolling.

https://9-11commission.gov/report/

Can't make jokes about this. Still leaves a poor taste in my mouth.

Edit: I just read your 9/11 thread, you made me curious. Ignore that, I won't insult you with this report, I can imagine how you feel about it.

Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics.

Go on.

Literally, my above post is evidence of Russian collusion. Defacto, absolute evidence (unless you don't believe intelligence agency reports, which is actually a fair amount of posters in this subforum).

What will it take? Putin even hinted that 'nationals' might have hacked the elections, he won't claim sfate actors because duh.

Breaking news (it's been a few hours now, since I've been up and seen this). Somebody decided to shoot up a Congressional baseball practice, a whip got hit along with two cops. Suspect was hit, is in custody.

WTF is going on folks? It wasn't like this 4 years ago, and I'll be honest. I don't like it like this. Fuck partisanship, fuck Pro/Anti Trump, we have to come together goddammit. This isn't what we want for our kids, not like this.

Rep. Brooks: Scalise crawled, left blood trail

Gunman opens fire on Congressional lawmakers

Rep. Brooks: 50 to 100 shots fired

Rand Paul: It would have been a massacre

Sen. Flake: Scalise lay alone in field

The shooting appears to be a "deliberate attack," sources tell CNN
Scalise is the first member of Congress to be shot since former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords
Washington (CNN)Rep. Steve Scalise, a congressional staffer and members of the congressional police force were shot Wednesday morning in Alexandria, Virginia, in what sources are calling an apparent "deliberate attack."

Scalise, the third ranking member of House Republican leadership as the majority whip, appeared to have been shot in the hip and it appeared two Capitol Hill police agents were shot, according to Rep. Mo Brooks, who told CNN he was on deck when the shooting occurred.
As of 9:45 a.m. ET, Scalise was in stable condition but undergoing surgery, according to a statement from his office.
"Prior to entering surgery, the whip was in good spirits and spoke to his wife by phone," the statement said. "He is grateful for the brave actions of U.S. Capitol Police, first responders and colleagues."
The shooting took place at a practice for the GOP congressional baseball team.
In a statement, Texas Rep. Roger Williams, one of the team's coaches, said one of his staff members was shot during the incident and is receiving medical attention. There was no information on the staffer's injuries.


They aren't releasing details. Watching the press conference with the police chief as we speak. He is declining to answer if it was an assassination attempt, or if this was a terrorist attack. Suspect is in custodtcustodt, white male us the only thing they have released so far.

It's gonna be many, many administrations before we see decent interest rates again Don't hold your breath.

But diversification is always a good idea. Bitcoin is like playing musical chairs with your money, to great effect (or detriment). Like all profit potential, the greater it is, the more risk you have to assume. You can do ALOT to mitigate the risk by doing your diligence, or by getting a basic understanding of trading before you take a serious stab at it.

Never put all your eggs in one basket. Shit, to hell with eggs, you are going to want a fruit salad

I'm always preaching this, you get a cookie, new sir

It took us all this time to get to this point with bitcoin. We are flirting with new aths each week, and the capitalization is off the chain (apparently the traffic at Coinbase is off the chain too, LOL)  Besides Ethereum, which was just so much when it dropped that it captivated all the old heads (the fork, the Slock it shit, Lord, everything L

There will be other coins. But bitcoin is king, and unless we do something stupid (like not scaling), it will remain king.

I do. He told the entire intelligence community to go fuck itself. If it requires finding Jimmy Hoffa to solve this case, I don't think that stone would be left unturned.

Meuller seems to be gearing up for some thing bigly :
https://www.axios.com/mueller-adds-muscle-for-russia-investigation-2439721714.html (I've gotta start reading Axios)

Special counsel "Robert Mueller has hired Michael Dreeben, on a part-time basis, to help with his investigation. Dreeben, a deputy in the Office of the Solicitor General, has argued more than 100 cases before the Supreme Court. His specialty has, for the last 20 years, been criminal matters and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law."

Be smart: Mueller is amassing the talent arsenal you'd build to bring criminal charges.

Why it matters: "[H]e is quite possibly the best criminal appellate lawyer in America (at least on the government's side). That Mueller has sought his assistance attests both to the seriousness of his effort and the depth of the intellectual bench he is building."

National Law Journal: "The move signals that Mueller is seeking advice on the complexities that have arisen already in the investigations, including what constitutes obstruction of justice."

Mueller's has had a spate of other high-octane hires, including Andrew Weissmann, chief of the fraud section of the Justice Department's Criminal Division.

We are going to terraform the swamp into a fucking desert, is what I read here


https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-orders-review-of-russian-hacking-during-presidential-campaign/2016/12/09/31d6b300-be2a-11e6-94ac-3d324840106c_story.html?utm_term=.30f976c54b25

“It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia’s goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected,” said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. “That’s the consensus view.”

http://abcnews.go.com/US/showdown-trump-tower-president-elect-set-receive-intel/story?id=44594917

Donald Trump will meet with the director of national intelligence and the heads of the FBI and CIA in his New York skyscraper to receive a highly classified report into Russia’s hacking of U.S. political institutions.

And this was Jan 2017.

So they told him this, before he even told office, because this report was generated while Obama was in office.

This means they also would have told him about Flynn

And Obama told him personally about Flynn.

And Sally Yates told him about Flynn..

How come everybody knew about Flynn except me?

And to put the cherry on the top of the clusterfuck sundae, so Trump would have known all that, before he tweeted this:

--Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!

Never mind, gaining traction, I had my search string a little fucked up

https://www.engadget.com/2017/06/13/report-russia-hacked-election-systems-in-39-us-states/

http://m.newser.com/story/244217/russians-likely-breached-your-states-voting-system.html

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/13/russias-cyber-attack-on-39-states-could-jeopardize-future-us-elections.html

https://www.cnet.com/news/russias-election-hacking-reached-39-us-states-says-report/

Sums it up again pretty succinctly:

Russia's efforts to hack the US electoral system last year were more extensive than previously made public, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

Voting systems were hacked in 39 states during the 2016 presidential election, sources told Bloomberg. That figure is nearly double the number previously reported.

The information comes just days after a leaked National Security Agency report revealed widespread cyberattacks on more than 100 local governments and a voting software firm leading up to the 2016 election.

So Obama knew about this, before he left office. I understand the weird ass sanctions now. But what is most intriguing to me is if Obama had access to this intelligence, so did Trump. It's part of the classified record, this is a specific power of the POTUS (along with the ability to declassify said information at will). If Trump knows this, why has he been saying this?

--Russia must be laughing up their sleeves watching as the U.S. tears itself apart over a Democrat EXCUSE for losing the election.

--Things will work out fine between the U.S.A. and Russia. At the right time everyone will come to their senses & there will be lasting peace!

--The Democrats made up and pushed the Russian story as an excuse for running a terrible campaign. Big advantage in Electoral College & lost!

That's a little off, for someone with access to this report, don't you think?

Hey folks,
 They haven't been reporting widely on this as of yet, I can't source it a whole lot as I track it back beyond Bloomberg. Another one of.the leaks that characterizes our political climate now. Neither Democrats or Republicans should want to see all these leaks, information this sensitive affect diplomacy, and has to be contained, in my opinion.

Waiting for this to get a little more traction with additional news outlets, but, from Bloomberg:

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-06-13/russian-breach-of-39-states-threatens-future-u-s-elections

Russia’s cyberattack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump’s election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported.

In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.

The scope and sophistication so concerned Obama administration officials that they took an unprecedented step -- complaining directly to Moscow over a modern-day “red phone.” In October, two of the people said, the White House contacted the Kremlin on the back channel to offer detailed documents of what it said was Russia’s role in election meddling and to warn that the attacks risked setting off a broader conflict.

The new details, buttressed by a classified National Security Agency document recently disclosed by the Intercept, show the scope of alleged hacking that federal investigators are scrutinizing as they look into whether Trump campaign officials may have colluded in the efforts. But they also paint a worrisome picture for future elections: The newest portrayal of potentially deep vulnerabilities in the U.S.’s patchwork of voting technologies comes less than a week after former FBI Director James Comey warned Congress that Moscow isn’t done meddling.

“They’re coming after America,” Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating Russian interference in the election. “They will be back.”

A spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington declined to comment on the agency’s probe.

Kremlin Denials

Russian officials have publicly denied any role in cyber attacks connected to the U.S. elections, including a massive “spear phishing” effort that compromised Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, among hundreds of other groups. President Vladimir Putin said in recent comments to reporters that criminals inside the country could have been involved without having been sanctioned by the Russian government.

One of the mysteries about the 2016 presidential election is why Russian intelligence, after gaining access to state and local systems, didn’t try to disrupt the vote. One possibility is that the American warning was effective. Another former senior U.S. official, who asked for anonymity to discuss the classified U.S. probe into pre-election hacking, said a more likely explanation is that several months of hacking failed to give the attackers the access they needed to master America’s disparate voting systems spread across more than 7,000 local jurisdictions.

Such operations need not change votes to be effective. In fact, the Obama administration believed that the Russians were possibly preparing to delete voter registration information or slow vote tallying in order to undermine confidence in the election. That effort went far beyond the carefully timed release of private communications by individuals and parties.

This may be fake news at this point, in this day and age (I'm being sarcastic, but only Engadget is reporting this beyond Bloomberg, and they source Bloomberg). So still not proven, but I think this firmly puts aside all that 'show me the proof' rhetoric we have been hearing from a certain political party, if true.

So if this is true, we actually have evidence of what actually amounts to voter fraud, along with the psyops campaign the Intel community concluded was conducted.

Thoughts?

I wanted to wait on this, til it gained more traction, but this has been consuming me since I read it, it's simply fascinating.

Meh, guess all that armor shit won't work so good unless it's explosion proof.

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/florida-neo-nazi-plotted-bombings-at-nuclear-reactors-and-synagogues-prosecutors/



A federal document filed by prosecutors this week alleges that a Florida-based neo-Nazi planned to kill civilians by planting explosives at targeted sites ranging from synagogues to power lines to nuclear reactors.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that prosecutors are alleging Tampa resident Brandon Russell had bombmaking materials at a garage adjacent to his apartment that he planned on using for the mass killing of civilians.

Officers arrested Russell after finding explosives in the garage at the same time they were investigating Russell’s roommate, Devon Arthurs, who is himself a former neo-Nazi who allegedly murdered his two other roommates after they mocked his conversion to Islam.

It's Sessions Confessions Day!

Fuck Christmas, it's been like my birthday the last few weeks

So today we get to hear from one Jeff Sessions, back on the stand yet again concerning his contacts with the Russians during the election. We are lucky we get to hear from Mr Sessions, we almost didn't have the privilege..

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/sessions-says-he-will-not-testify-at-congressional-budget-hearings-this-week/2017/06/10/e052be84-4e2a-11e7-a186-60c031eab644_story.html?utm_term=.3fc4cfa399f8

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who had agreed to testify this week before the Senate and House appropriations subcommittees about the Justice Department budget, wrote the chairmen of the committees Saturday and said he was sending his deputy to testify instead.

Sessions was scheduled to testify before Congress on Tuesday for the first time since he was confirmed as attorney general in February. In light of former FBI director James B. Comey’s testimony last week, Sessions was expected to get many questions from lawmakers about his contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 election campaign.

Sessions wrote to the two chairmen that he would testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday instead. A Justice Department official said that committee hearing probably will be closed to the public.

Imagine that Mr Sessions is reluctant, in case you forgot, because of all this:

In early March, The Washington Post reported that Sessions twice met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the campaign and did not disclose that to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing in January. The next day, Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation and said it would be overseen by his deputy attorney general, who last month appointed a special counsel to handle the probe.

Recused, but not so much so he can still write letters recommending the firing of Comey

So either he will step out and immediately say 'executive privilege', (he sooooooo doesn't want to do that), or we might hear something interesting today.

Why do you guys think he lied twice about his meetings with Russia? In front of Congress? It's probably a non issue, right?



And a little more food for thought, you can never go hungry with the administration:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/06/13/trump-is-considering-firing-special-counsel-mueller-friend-says.html

Christopher Ruddy, the founder of Newsmax Media and close friend of President Trump, told PBS News Hour Monday that he believes the president is “considering perhaps terminating” special counsel Robert Mueller, the man charged with investigating Russian interference in the U.S. election and possible collusion with Trump’s campaign.

The comments come amid increasing frustration at the White House and among Trump supporters that the investigation will overshadow the president's agenda for months to come.

When reached by Fox News after the remarks, Ruddy said, “while I am not claiming the president said it to me, I am confident of my sourcing. He is definitely considering it as an option.” .

This is on Fox, so it's quite obviously real news

You are screaming into the wind. This thread got off the rails a while back, it's easier to talk about armor than white supremacists. But dammit, the shit is funny, I'm surprised no one has posted some of the newer ballistic armour, we've been seeing a bunch of old stuff.
