The question is not that it is happening, but what do you do about it. Doesn't matter if you are business that gets hacked or a government. There seems to be a lot piling up on The Dufus's plate as he hollers and screams about what everybody else didn't do. He is the commander in chief so he calls the shots. While his administration is rocked daily by scandal and incompetence and outright theft, he has no clue.

Like he blows up tweeter with his BS, blow up Vlad. Shame to pick on citizens and be afraid of another bully.

Blame Trump for stuff Obama lacked the intellectual capacity to address for the 8 years he was in office. Perhaps Trump was responsible for the Clintons via their slush fund/charity for paying millions of dollars to the Russians for what, fake evidence via the Dossier work of fiction?, And for Obama and Hillary selling 20% of our Uranium reserves to the EVIL Russians via Uranium One deal...yeah....clear how much the Libs really love the Russians, not hate them.

btw ;Jared's security clearance was downgraded to where he can only see secrets and not top secrets . That presumes I guess that he had that clearance before his was downgraded . Now I don't know how that will impact his ability as a foreign policy adviser. Honestly ;there is a bit too much nepotism in herr Donald's Administration than I like anyway .

When we interfered in Russian elections :

Paraclete your painting with that broad brush again. There are many of us older folks that do understand exactly what is going on. They are already tightening the strings to make the internet safer by insuring that all websites have the https heading or they will stop functioning. Much of the problem we have is the crickets chirping when something happens rather then announcing what had happened and when. Sometimes we dont hear about it for months. There was a major major breach with a information holding company and they almost covered it up. That is how these people and others are getting away with it for now. The next step is what is going to happen to crypto currency. Keep your eyes peeled for changes some of which you might not like.

For some reason I don't have a lot of confidence in governments regulating cyberspace. The tyrannies are forging that path and it looks a lot like censorship to me .https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.b337ef1e5c58

I am professional enough to use a 6" brush and not drip the paint. I have the opinion that crypto currency is a gyp so if it is banned that would be a good thing, I also think this Russian interference thing is a fishing expedition, a diversion. I keep up to date with the news that matters, the rest is a circus

It's a FACT finding investigation complete with circus. That's to be expected when you investigate clowns. Nobody paints a wall with a 6 inch brush anymore Clete. There are better ways to do that you know!

Tom your point on the China situation with its firewall only is going to apply for a short time longer. The new internet is going to come from space. The first 2 statlites were launched already and more are on the way. It wont be blazingly fast but it will function without and physicl lines or ground connections other then the user level.

Would you like me to use a two foot roller, no, I use the brush for cutting in and getting better coverage

I use a spray painter, but a brush helps put the finishing touches on a big job done rather quickly and easily, sometimes. I use to do it with brushes and rollers myself, before I found a better, easier way. You would be surprised at the savings to time, and material, but you will appreciate a lot more time for OTHER stuff.

Just an idea from the west. Another idea is don't be too distracted by the antics of the Dufus. he is good at changing the subject and getting an adverse reaction when he is caught in a jam.

I used spray paint when I renovated my house and everything was clear but you can't do that for just a single room with carpet and furniture intact.

Yes, I note Dump has changed the subject again, but he keeps shooting himself in the foot. He has forgotten there are trade agreements in place. He should repudiate all american trade agreements and start again, tariffs may be the way to balance the budget. Think of a US with nothing flowing in from outside, less vehicles on the roads, no Walmart...

you know my position about free trade . If there is a trade imbalance it is because the American consumer demands choice . We don't want one brand of coffee. We want a whole grocery aisle full of different coffees . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHIcmoY3_lE

Sure you can. Tape, plastic sheets, and drop clothes over the furniture works quite well, as for the Trump ideas on trade, PURE DUMB! Tariffs will only bring a rise in prices passed on to consumers that will have a domino effects across the board that will affect OUR best trade partners a lot more than it will China.

We love CHEAP choices for sure. I doubt the congress goes along with this dumb idea. Didn't we have this kind of nonsense back in the 30's that deepened the recession?

Dufus needed a huge diversion and he got it. Everybody's head exploded.

Love the videos Tom.

Yes but Dump doesn't have the same opinion, you know it is a little like the film Demolition Man, the poor people live underground and dine on rat prepared by an illegal immigrant, the rich dine in Taco Bell and live under the protection of a benevolent leader who has got everything worked out and sycophant flunkies to do his bidding. You can't drink coffee it is bad for you

I don't know why you don't relax, you screwed yourselves and now you don't like the outcome. It is poetic justice

Let me put it this way tal last time I saw that done we wound up using a roller to smooth out the paint after spraying, I can have the job done while I 'm stuffing about trying to make sure no overspray, etc. cutting in takes the time anyway.

You are right about tariffs, they are an ineffective mechanism for protecting industries but unions and inefficient manufacturers love them, but Dump isn't a student of history and as he only listens to his own opinion, he has made the same mistake as Bush. You have to target the dumpers with tariffs, but China is a small part of supply to the US, so Dump is definitely targeting his allies, particularly NAFTA. It just more of the beggar my neighbour philosophy that the US has relied on in trade for yonks
