Ok Conrad, Let's Face It.
Fact: You & I Do Not Share Any Commonality.
So let's Keep It Real & Agree To Disagree.
I would politely ask that that unless your
"Feed-Back" is requested or required;
you refrain from responding to the personal
perspective that I share in my posts.
There is nothing constructive that you can share
or have shared with me.
Your patronizing & somewhat demeaning feedback
is not welcome. Thank you.

What is your point?

That he is a homegrown, nut case with ,self esteem & marriage issues, that didn't get laid properly, by his 1st, 2nd & possibility 3rd wife.... so he got cranky & did a mass shooting, at a club that just happened to have 350 people who are or support an LGBT lifestyle.

ACH...NO.

He is an Islamic Terrorist.
Who slaughtered 49 Americans on American soil. Who hates the United States & homosexuals & probably women.

And most of the country knows it. And will not make excuses for him.
Or use wordplay to downplay &
will call a spade a spade.

Wakey Wakey

Exactly My Point!
You nailed it.

Calling this psychopathic loser,"A Terrorist" is giving him-
Way Too Much Credit! This bottom-feeder lacks that kind of dedication, focus, & commitment that most Serious Fanatics, Activists, Martyrs, or Terrorists must possess & passion to a cause

Mass shooter acted alone, inspired by radical Islam, FBI chief says
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article83474367.html
"The Florida man who massacred 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub was likely inspired by online “radical” Islamic extremism but there is no evidence showing he acted on orders from overseas, the FBI director said Monday.“So far we see no indication that this is a plot directed from outside the United States,” FBI Director James Comey said Monday.

The Mass Shooter was an American Citizen.
The Mass Shooter was more a severely mentally/emotionally ill psychopath desperately seeking "Attention",who self-selected the label, "Terrorist" to describe/justify his severely destructive abhorrent behavior.

However, in reality, he had no an active/working affiliations to any real Terrorist Organizations either domestically or overseas.
But, Everyone Knows that Buzzwords such as "Terrorists/Terrorism" will receive an abundance of media/press coverage & public attention! This public "attention or notoriety" is recognition
that this sick, twisted,despicable,& pathetic psychopathic doesn't merit. Honestly I abhor even giving this undeserving scumbag, any vocal or written attention or acknowledgement. In my mind, he is a sick, gutless, piece-of-sh#t Waster looking for his "15 minutes of Fame"...
Question: "Who is gunman Omar Mateen?"
Answer: I don't Care. A worthless poor excuse of the human species who had no rational excuse or purpose in even existing.

*
PS: Personally,I would find it more emotionally productive to chronicle & document the victims. Their legacies are so much more deserving of public media coverage than that of a sick, despicable waste of flesh.

Russian goverment hackers penetrated the Democratic National Committee and had access to the DNC network for about a year, but all were expelled earlier in June.

By Ellen Nakashima June 14 at 3:09 PM
Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee and gained access to the entire database of opposition research on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to committee officials and security experts who responded to the breach.
The intruders so thoroughly compromised the DNC’s system that they also were able to read all email and chat traffic, said DNC officials and the security experts.

[Russia wants to fly more spy planes over the U.S.]

The intrusion into the DNC was one of several targeting American political organizations. The networks of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were also targeted by Russian spies, as were the computers of some Republican political action committees, U.S. officials said. But details on those cases were not available.

A Russian Embassy spokesman said he had no knowledge of such intrusions.
Some of the hackers had access to the DNC network for about a year, but all were expelled over the past weekend in a major computer cleanup campaign, the committee officials and experts said.

[Watch: Ellen Nakashima discusses how Russian hackers hit the Democratic National Committee]

The DNC said that no financial, donor or personal information appears to have been accessed or taken, suggesting that the breach was traditional espionage, not the work of criminal hackers.

The intrusions are an example of Russia’s interest in the U.S. political system and its desire to understand the policies, strengths and weaknesses of a potential future president — much as American spies gather similar information on foreign candidates and leaders.

The depth of the penetration reflects the skill and determination of the United States’ top cyber adversary as Russia goes after strategic targets, from the White House and State Department to political campaign organizations.

[Russian hackers breach some White House computers]

“It’s the job of every foreign intelligence service to collect intelligence against their adversaries,” said Shawn Henry, president of CrowdStrike, the cyber firm called in to handle the DNC breach and a former head of the FBI’s cyber division. He noted that it is extremely difficult for a civilian organization to protect itself from a skilled and determined state such as Russia.

“We’re perceived as an adversary of Russia,” he said. “Their job when they wake up every day is to gather intelligence against the policies, practices and strategies of the U.S. government. There are a variety of ways. [Hacking] is one of the more valuable because it gives you a treasure trove of information.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has spoken favorably about Trump, who has called for better relations with Russia and expressed skepticism about NATO. But unlike Clinton, whom the Russians probably have long had in their spy sights, Trump has not been a politician for very long, so foreign agencies are playing catch-up, analysts say.

“The purpose of such intelligence gathering is to understand the target’s proclivities,” said Robert Deitz, former senior councillor to the CIA director and a former general counsel at the National Security Agency. “Trump’s foreign investments, for example, would be relevant to understanding how he would deal with countries where he has those investments” should he be elected, Deitz said. “They may provide tips for understanding his style of negotiating. In short, this sort of intelligence could be used by Russia, for example, to indicate where it can get away with foreign adventurism.”
Other analysts noted that any dirt dug up in opposition research is likely to be made public anyway. Nonetheless, DNC leadership acted quickly after the intrusion’s discovery to contain the damage.

“The security of our system is critical to our operation and to the confidence of the campaigns and state parties we work with,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), the DNC chairwoman. “When we discovered the intrusion, we treated this like the serious incident it is and reached out to CrowdStrike immediately. Our team moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network.”

[Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Worst Week in Washington]

Clinton called the intrusion “troubling” in an interview with Telemundo. She also said, “So far as we know, my campaign has not been hacked into,” and added that cybersecurity is an issue that she “will be absolutely focused on” if she becomes president. “Because whether it’s Russia, or China, Iran or North Korea more and more countries are using hacking to steal our information, to use it to their advantage,” she said.

A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign referred questions to the Secret Service.

DNC leaders were tipped to the hack in late April. Chief executive officer Amy Dacey got a call from her operations chief saying that their information technology team had noticed some unusual network activity.

“It’s never a call any executive wants to get, but the IT team knew something was awry,” Dacey said. And they knew it was serious enough that they wanted experts to investigate.

That evening, she spoke with Michael Sussmann, a DNC lawyer who is a partner with Perkins Coie in Washington. Soon after, Sussmann, a former federal prosecutor who handled computer crime cases, called Henry, whom he has known for many years.

Within 24 hours, CrowdStrike had installed software on the DNC’s computers so that it could analyze data that could indicate who had gained access, when and how.
The firm identified two separate hacker groups, both working for the Russian government, that had infiltrated the network, said Dmitri Alperovitch, CrowdStrike co-founder and chief technology officer. The firm had analyzed other breaches by both groups over the past two years.

[U.S. suspects Russia in hack of Pentagon computer network]

One group, which CrowdStrike had dubbed Cozy Bear, had gained access last summer and was monitoring the DNC’s email and chat communications, Alperovitch said.

The other, which the firm had named Fancy Bear, broke into the network in late April and targeted the opposition research files. It was this breach that set off the alarm. The hackers stole two files, Henry said. And they had access to the computers of the entire research staff — an average of about several dozen on any given day.

The computers contained research going back years on Trump. “It’s a huge job” to dig into the dealings of somebody who has never run for office before, Dacey said.

CrowdStrike is not sure how the hackers got in. The firm suspects they may have targeted DNC employees with “spearphishing” emails. These are communications that appear legitimate — often made to look like they came from a colleague or someone trusted — but that contain links or attachments that when clicked on deploy malicious software that enables a hacker to gain access to a computer. “But we don’t have hard evidence,” Alperovitch said.

The two groups did not appear to be working together, Alperovitch said. Fancy Bear is believed to work for the GRU, or Russia’s military intelligence service, he said. CrowdStrike is less sure of whom Cozy Bear works for but thinks it might be the Federal Security Service or FSB, the country’s powerful security agency, which was once headed by Putin.

[How Russian special forces are shaping the fight in Syria]

The lack of coordination is not unusual, he said. “There’s an amazing adversarial relationship” among the Russian intelligence agencies, Alperovitch said. “We have seen them steal assets from one another, refuse to collaborate. They’re all vying for power, to sell Putin on how good they are.”

The two crews have “superb operational tradecraft,” he said. They often use previously unknown software bugs — known as “zero-day” vulnerabilities — to compromise applications. In the DNC’s case, the hackers constantly switched tactics to maintain a stealthy presence inside the network and used built-in Windows tools so that they didn’t have to resort to malicious code that might trigger alerts. “They flew under the radar,” Alperovitch said.

The two groups have hacked government agencies, tech companies, defense contractors, energy and manufacturing firms, and universities in the United States, Canada and Europe as well as in Asia, he said.

Cozy Bear, for instance, compromised the unclassified email systems of the White House, State Department and Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2014, Alperovitch said.

“This is a sophisticated foreign intelligence service with a lot of time, a lot of resources, and is interested in targeting the U.S. political system,” Henry said. He said the DNC was not engaged in a fair fight. “You’ve got ordinary citizens who are doing hand-to-hand combat with trained military officers,” he said. “And that’s an untenable situation.”

Russia has always been a formidable foe in cyberspace, but in the past two years, “there’s been a thousand-fold increase in its espionage campaign against the West,” said Alperovitch, who is also a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. “They feel under siege.”

The Young Turk's Cenk Uygur goes balistic on mainstream media in their lack of any journalistic integrity with their complicitness in coronating Hillary Clinton as the presumed Democratic presidential nominee.
*


He points out the major gaps in reporting by mainstream media and actual facts.
Uygur further lambasts the Clinton campaign and the establishment for doing everything possible
to ensure a coronation instead of an election.



The half-hour spent listening to Uygur is well worth your time, as he exposes how manipulative and in cahoots the mainstream media is with the establishment, which is concerned with one thing, and one thing only.
He also calls out the Clinton campaign for wielding and abusing power.

Clinton Cash -- The Movie -- TRAILER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87vxRyWwFHE
Published on Jun 3, 2016

In 2000, Bill and Hillary Clinton owed millions of dollars in legal debt. Since then, they’ve earned over $230 million. Where did the money come from? Most people assume that the Clintons amassed their wealth through lucrative book deals and high-six figure fees for speaking gigs. Now, Peter Schweizer shows who is really behind those enormous payments.



In the New York Times bestseller Clinton Cash, he follows the Clinton money trail, revealing the connection between their personal fortune, their “close personal friends,” the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations, and some of the highest ranks of government.

Now, with Hillary on the verge of winning the presidential nomination, the questions it raises are more important than ever.


Schweizer reveals the Clintons’ troubling dealings in Kazakhstan, Colombia, Haiti, and other places at the “wild west” fringe of the global economy.

In this blockbuster exposé, Schweizer merely presents the troubling facts he’s uncovered. Meticulously researched and scrupulously sourced, filled with headline-making revelations, Clinton Cash raises serious questions of judgment, of possible indebtedness to an array of foreign interests, and ultimately, of fitness for high public office.
A new documentary to be released will continue to push the revelations in Clinton Cash.

Not at you Moe;}
Apologies -I didn't properly respond correctly with the correct "buttons"; maybe I should delete it & redo it? Maybe not...

"i feel trump is the better of the three idiots we have to choose from...hillary, the worst possible choice, hands down.."
*
Agree.
I believe that a Clinton[actually 2 Clintons["Slick Willie"] Presidency would be far more a danger to the American People than A Trump victory. Many People would think me, insane to have such a belief but facts are facts.

"Don't tell me what to do or say. Besides that I didn't PREACH ANYTHING....if anything YOUR diatribes are arrogant preaching.
Did I hit a nerve when I said if something YOU posted was true then Sanders would be a fool?
Often those who accuse other are guilty of their own accusations...be careful what you accuse me of."
*

I'm not accusing you of anything. Actually, you have just accused my expressed opinions as "arrogant diatribes". That's your opinion, right?
I agree, Sanders is a fool but so am I & many other folks that I admire who fight a hopeless fight for the principals, ethics, & morals that they believe in although it may be doomed for failure.

"in every presidential election, there's never a winner for the people, we just take what we feel is the lessor idiots..."
*

That is The Point! To feel that we're voting for, "The Lessor Of Evils" or between/against a couple of idiot candidates that are/were chosen For Us instead of those candidates who are By Us is indicative of a corrupted & broken political system system!
Who loses?
The people lose the most.

active as in how? to do what? my activeness would change hillary going to prison? i don't see how... if you're active in the bern's process, how is doing anything to help him when he's losing? i support trump, but me being active or not won't change anything... same as farting in the wind, it doesn't change the wind speed or direction, and dissipates very fast - in ten seconds, no one would ever know...
*
*Smiles* I knew[most people] supporting Bernie knew where he started & what he wa$ up against... The predicted outcome was not rocket science. That he even got as far as he was able to is a kind-of-win in it's own way. At least he exposed a great deal of "rottenness & decay"in the Democratic Party & Political System so on many levels, his efforts were not in vain. Why fight what seems to be a battle lost? Because I still have an [irrational?] faith in The American People or people, in general to change. Maybe I'm a deluded idealist but if that's so, than so be it. Take away some dreams & all hope & what's the point of breathing;}

"I vote...what else do you expect me to do?
And I've seen you complain about Hillary. Its ok to complain about a candidate... but not about the pool of candidates?
Or is this frustration about a joke or two aimed at your candidate?"
*
I do not "complain" about Clinton but merely seek to illustrate her past actions & political record. As to whether someone supports & trusts her to do right by her "promises" is than up to that individual.
I will confess to total confusion in thinking about the reason that someone, or anyone could support such an obviously corrupt & pathologically dishonest individual but... *shrugs* everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, I do resent when I'm told that I Have To Vote For Her[IT] because my candidate is not able to run.
Additionally, not only has there been a wealth of distorted media spin &
jokes aimed at Sanders, himself but also horrific, distorted, & demeaning mass-media hype on the the individuals who support Sanders.
*
Do I resent it? At first it would really piss-me-off but now?
It's just more pathetic manipulation by those who have the most to lo$e if their candidate[Clinton] is not elected .

"Both campaigns have already agreed. They are just waiting for the fee they are requesting that is 100% going to charity to be worked out. "
*
Totally Incorrect.
Please verify for yourself:
Trump says he will not debate Sanders
http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/27/politics/trump-says-he-will-not-debate-sanders/
*
"Nice try on the personal attack."
*
Again, Totally Incorrect.
If I had [any] desire to "personally-attack" anyone;
there would be no attempt on the action. I attack
very openly, directly, & deliberately.

"Bernie will do to the US what Chavez did to Venezuela!"
*
I feel that's totally incorrect.

What would be far more accurate would be is that Sander's ideology is
closer to that of Franklin D. Roosevelt than Chavez.
If requested, I would be delighted to provide documentation to
substantiate this opinion.

At this point "Democracy" is broken & we function in a political system best described as an oligarchy. The definition of oligarchy-1: government by the few, ]-2: a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes; also : a group exercising such control, & 3]-: an organization under oligarchic control.

Our economic system is best described as consumer capitalism which is a theoretical economic and social political condition in which consumer demand is manipulated, in a deliberate and coordinated way, on a very large scale, through mass-marketing techniques, to the advantage of sellers. This system while making "The Few"-much more wealthy has has had disastrous social & ecological consequences that will not be addressed in terms of the governmental policy that promotes profits over people.

Sometimes change is good. But if there one thing that politicians have proven is not all change is good,
especially change that is driven by ideologically rather than pragmatic logic.
And if the Franklin quote is true....Sanders would be a fool.

As an avid supporter of Bernie Sander; I make no effort to conceal my bias.
I have heard & read the many folks who complain about how sh*tty our candidate selection & the process is, so my question is in regard to those who complain yet seem to do nothing constructive to change the problem.
What is the point of this?
