anyone want to sum that article up? obviously i love great journalism but im not paying to read about some idiot giving his login password to a hacker pretending to be Comcast

I can cut back and paste.

nvmd, so yeah the laptop was not even connected. fake news

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald J. Trump, expressing lingering skepticism about intelligence assessments of Russian interference in the election, said on Saturday evening that he knew “things that other people don’t know” about the hacking, and that the information would be revealed “on Tuesday or Wednesday.”

Speaking to a handful of reporters outside his Palm Beach, Fla., club, Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump cast his declarations of doubt as an effort to seek the truth.

“I just want them to be sure because it’s a pretty serious charge,” Mr. Trump said of the intelligence agencies. “If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong,” he added, referring to intelligence cited by the George W. Bush administration to support its march to war in 2003. “So I want them to be sure,” the president-elect said. “I think it’s unfair if they don’t know.”

He added: “And I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else. And I also know things that other people don’t know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation.”

When asked what he knew that others did not, Mr. Trump demurred, saying only, “You’ll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.”

Mr. Trump, who does not use email, also advised people to avoid computers when dealing with delicate material. “It’s very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way, because I’ll tell you what, no computer is safe,” Mr. Trump said.

“I don’t care what they say, no computer is safe,” he added. “I have a boy who’s 10 years old; he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier.”

I also know things that other people don’t know

Classic. No one can see inside this black box, so no one can contradict any assertions made about it.

It's like a variation on his favorite phrase: believe me!

He's seizing power in just under three weeks - let the fellatio begin!

Speaking of fellatio, Josh Marshall accidentally copied the URL of the lesbian porn he was watching instead of something else he meant to Tweet.

hahaha sorry I love when that happens

He didn't delete it for a long time, either!

He hasn't deleted it.

@joshtpm Been reading you for 16 years since you were writing two blocks from my place on Q St, and looking forward to 16 more.

@ericgarland @joshtpm it's time for some "i came" theory

hahaha

there will be another great recession, huh https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/claiming-mandate-gop-congress-lays-plans-to-propel-sweeping-conservative-agenda/2017/01/01/9840338a-ceee-11e6-b8a2-8c2a61b0436f_story.html?utm_term=.2884bae4b41a&wpisrc=nl_most-draw10&wpmm=1

Well, the super-rich think these recessions are pretty great. After all, they get to pick up a lot of cheap deals during the crash and come out smelling like a rose when, in order to "stimulate the economy and promote job growth" the Republicans will cut their taxes even more, while slashing safety net programs, and the Fed keeps interest rates at zero. Hand them another Great Recession and life's a bowl of cherries!

less "a great recession" and more "direct corporate rule", maintaining general prosperity is for regimes that think there should be restraints on the cops

amazing to be capable of surprise abt how cynical ppl can be right now but the ethics office bill is just luminously craven

it's stunning, yes

OCE gutting proposal withdrawn following public outcry

surprised tbh

it's important to remember that many of the things this congress is pursuing are deeply unpopular. Making sure that the public understands exactly what they are attempting to do may work as a powerful deterrent.

one hopes

OCE gutting proposal withdrawn following public outcry

Will be re-submitted, and pass overwhelmingly, over inauguration weekend, while press is busy talking about who did and didn't attend parties.

out of all the things to kick off the new session with

yeah people are seriously dense if they think this is going away...

but speaking of seriously dense how fucking dumb do you have to be to do this in the middle of the night when they should just do what the honorable mr van gorp is suggesting upthread.

also important to remember that trump is unbelievably unpopular for an incoming president

would love to see this repeated in every single article about him

wow, 20-30 points behind Obama & GWB in every category, impressive.

too bad all the people who aren't skeptical are the ones whose votes matter

thread is almost at 7800 posts, we could use a fresh start.
