He was stealing the phone service in order to have more online time to illegally intrude on computer systems and gather confidential or private information. But, all the articles in WaPo and such are suggesting that the Cult of the Dead Cow was just a bunch of funky punkers operating a bulletin board system, and by "hacking" they meant, like, you know, writing edgy stories, and being sort of "out there, man" you know, like being cool and hip. Hacking didn't mean, like, actual hacking, like breaking into computer systems -- their hacking was all good-natured, "hacktivist" hacking - that was to help groups lower on the progressive stack and to "teach microsoft a lesson" so they fix the easy holes in their Back Office systems....

Blah - blah - freakin' blah. lol
Oh so it’s not free long distance that’s the concern. Thanks for the goal post move.
Is theft a concern? You tell me.
I never claimed it wasn’t. But people steal and defraud for all kinds of reasons. Why is this one of particular concern to you?

It's not. I'm wondering why it wouldn't be a concern to you.

Robert O'Rourke is a joke. That's enough for me. I don't care if he hacked or stole telephone service, or was convicted of DUI and was alleged by a police officer to have attempted to flee the scene, or to have committed burglary..... these are youthful indiscretions. I bet he even got drunk and partied during high school and college.

Beto O’Rourke says Trump colluded with Russia ‘beyond the shadow of a doubt’ https://www.aol.com/article/news/2019/0 ... /23699152/ “You have a president who, in my opinion, beyond the shadow of a doubt, sought to—however ham-handedly—collude with the Russian government, a foreign power, to undermine and influence our elections.”

That's the one thread Mueller neglected to pull -- he should have subpoenaed and interviewed "Beto" -- you know - he has all the evidence.

Here is Beto now, talking about the evidence, and how there aren't even shadows of doubt about it!

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Why would it be a concern to me? I’m not a Beto supporter and I live in Canada. What I am wondering is why this would concern you, with all the evidence of Trump screwing over contractors time and again as that doesn’t seem to be a concern of yours.

Not sure why you bring up collusion accusations in this context either. I suggest for the sake of clarity we focus on the topic of theft and why Trump is a good president when he obviously steals from vendors for personal gain and Beto is somehow in a different category.

Hillary, OTOH, is a paragon of honesty and virtue, she'd NEVER steal anything. Ruskies give her money, she gives them our strategic uranium reserves. It's a value for value relationship.

OK I jest. A little bit. it wasn't our entire strategic reserve, only some of it. She's not a, you know, colluder.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

They are all slime. ALL of them. You're being played. Keep you all het up over The Donald and you ignore the real criminals looting the fucking planet and laughing all the way to the bank. That includes The Donald, Shillary, Slick Willy, Obama, and anyone else in public life. Actually, calling them "slime" is an insult to slime the world over. There is only one option - turn on, tune in, and drop out. Grab what you can while there's something to grab and Devil take the hindmost. You heard it here first.

Maybe, maybe not, but that has no relevance to the fact that Uranium One is a debunked conspiracy theory that was peddled by Breitbart nutters.

Eh?

Those two aren't even remotely similar. Trump-Russia was only "debunked" yesterday, and it wasn't really debunked, was it. All we've seen so far is Barr's summary. Barr, who just happened to be appointed to DOJ by Trump to protect Trump from DOJ's investigation into Trump. Funny how that worked out in Trump's favor.

Moreover, the Mueller "witch hunt" caught a whole lot of witches. 37 indictments, 7 guilty pleas, and some 200-ish criminal counts, and proof that Russia fucked with our election with the clear intent of helping Trump. And there are all the other off-shoot investigations that have been farmed out to other agencies. That all can't be swept under the rug.

Meanwhile, Uranium One was an actual hoax, and 4 years of Benghazi witch hunt and 2 years of Email witch hunt turned up jack squat. I wasn't crazy about Hillary, but there is absolutely no equivalence between her and Trump.

I would say it’s more like Benghazi, but with more substance.

$35 million, 2800 subpoenas, and their big claim to fame is they snagged a sleazy D.C. lobbyist/lawyer? Now there's a legitimate use of taxpayer money. Fuck me, walk into any Georgetown bar on a Friday night, swing a dead cat, and you'll hit 10 of them. I can get you any number of dead cats for a shitload less money.

They ain't got shit. If they had anything, anything, they'd be on it like Slick Willy on a new intern.
