In 2012, RSB Logistics Services obtained an export license to ship Uranium from the Uranium One's Willow Creek site.

Without googling the answer... How many departments are required to sign off to approve such a license?

I guess we can allow the Dims back in power so they can openly work with Russia, Iran, China, NK, and any number of hostile foreign governments to change America to the wishes of the highest bidder. We could also passively sit by and let the Dims import millions and millions of people from around the globe for their promise of voting Dim. Nothing like modern day indentured servitude. Vote Dim or else we won't bring you over from whatever unfortunate location you currently reside in.

HA!

I do miss weekend Firing Line with William F. before the Republican Party became more concerned with wresting control of the ship of state then steering it aground and ripping the bottom out. They remind me so much of Black Adder when his dream to become king finally comes true.

You sure about the no uranium has been exported out of the US? Or do you wish to change your answer? Hint, I would agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

What kind of double speak is that? "I agree with you but I know that's wrong!" Well at least you admit that you hold your opinion in spite of knowing you're wrong. Not to mention how loaded your comment is. Pretty sure you could argue the US exported uranium, in fact they've full on exported nuclear weapons (that they have positioned variously around the world). They've also sold it to other countries.

I guess we can allow the Dims back in power so they can openly work with Russia, Iran, China, NK, and any number of hostile foreign governments to change America to the wishes of the highest bidder. We could also passively sit by and let the Dims import millions and millions of people from around the globe for their promise of voting Dim. Nothing like modern day indentured servitude. Vote Dim or else we won't bring you over from whatever unfortunate location you currently reside in.

The Republicans are the ones trumpeting that we need to be working with Russia (did you forget that was literally one of Trump's key campaign points? not to mention, I take it you forgot that Reagan was the one that broke the Cold War animosity and reached out to Russia?). And uh, they're also the ones pushing the "highest bidder" bullshit, not to mention they're the ones that were happy to do all that you're projecting onto Democrats. Don't forget it was Nixon that started us working with China in the modern era. I know you just post the literary equivalent of diarrhea in order to spread FUD, but come on, you don't even seem to know basic facts with regards to your stereotypical partisan hackery.

I would have expected Russia to attempt influence no matter who was running. Whether that influence worked or not is more a sign of the weak minds of modern US citizens, too lazy and too short an attention span to think things through instead of just memorizing whatever nonsense is presented to them.

On the other hand it is to be expected. This is what we train children to do in formal school, throw info at them and demand regurgitation. It's become even worse at modern liberal universities where they simultaneously feign thought about the info but still demand you align with the politically correct agenda.

That seems to work because it's a bubble, funded by government and over a trillion in student loan debt. Idealism is easy when someone else is paying for it, then the older and further detached you get from that environment, the more you realize those who don't reap the fruit of that tree will get pissed off and vote for [Trump].

You expected Russia to literally infiltrate our election? You know they did that, right? They accessed computerized voting systems, among many, many other things (including, what appears to be direct collusion with members of the Republican, and more specifically Trump's, political campaign; which uh, is very clearly an escalation in "attempting to influence"). I was with you on their astroturfing/troll factory and their ability to influence Americans that way, until you got to the part about memorizing nonsense. I have no fucking clue what you're talking about in that respect with regards to this topic, as we're seeing that conservatives are choosing to straight up refuse to accept even some of the most simplest and basic facts and just throw as much shit at the wall hoping it'll lead to something (which for a while now has just been more shit). You seem to be arguing that somehow facts are to blame, because by people citing them as evidence of how shitty Trump and the Republicans have been, that supports and enables those people because I guess facts somehow make it so people can't think?

Your last point I'm not sure what you're actually trying to say. You seem to think that the ignorant people are justified in voting in an ignorant manner, as some sort of revenge for not getting to go to college and end up in massive student debt? Hell, you seem to be struggling with understanding the debt situation there, as student loan debt, above all types of debt in the US, is absolutely not "paid for by someone else" since you are held accountable for it and can't have it dismissed except under very rare circumstances.

Well at least your username gives some foresight into your post content.

In 2012, RSB Logistics Services obtained an export license to ship Uranium from the Uranium One's Willow Creek site.

RSB Logistics, a shipping company which sometimes ships for Uranium One, has a temporary license to transfer uranium to a specific facility in Ontario Canada for processing, after which, it must be returned to the US. This uranium cannot be shipped anywhere besides the US without US approval. Here's a copy of their license:

Wondering which website you pulled this piece of nonsense from. You couldn't have come up with it yourself.

Is that your way of saying you think my anecdote has no connection to what I was responding to?
Not at all. My feeling is that the sentiment behind a day off drugs and a saved starfish have in common that they are manifestations in different circumstances that arise out of the same enlightened perspective as practical instances of love.

Where I have a problem in this particular thread is that I think the reasons that people sleep to the dangers of Trump are mechanical. Humanity is asleep, living in a wrong world that is upside down to reality and the only reac cure is to awaken. Everything conspires to keep humanity asleep, the system, and I think it is only ith individual here and there who has or is exposed to the kinds of psychic shocks it takes to drive a desire to awaken. I think the forces that drive a system of sleep are at a high level and I think also concentrated in the Republican Party. That is why I wish it to die but nothing about my makes the slightest difference. Maybe another day the world survives Trump is a good day but when I read the news it speeds to me of escalating levels of damage.

The true self appears in the ashes of hopelessness. It can be lost but it can never be taken. The savers of starfish and those awake in the moment know this

Maybe World Nut Daily, Newshacks, Enquirer, Limbaugh, Alex Jones... a book by Jerome Corsi... So many possibilities. When they confirm each other's bullshit then brandonbull just knows it must be true. It actually is true but it doesn't mean what he thinks it does, of course.

I'm pretty sure he's never had an original thought in his life...

Russians messing with our minds... it works better on people whose minds are already a mess of right wing agitprop, of course-

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...tell-congress-they-spread-russian-propaganda/
It's a real problem when what having a messed up mind amounts to is having a mind that is messed up in a way that doesn't want to know it's messed up.

Perhaps some day a brain scan will be developed that can tell a programmed brain from one that isn't without it being a matter obvious to some and hidden from others, or a drug that will break ones programming and set people free. Such a drug, would of course immediately become illegal for causing people to go insane in the eyes of the programmed.

There's so much that needs to be done, it's a question of where to even start.

1) We *DO* need to get a definitive ruling on how involved the Trump campaign was with a hostile, foreign government.
2) All those involved need to prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. No mercy. No exceptions. LIFE IN PRISON. You don't fuck with our democracy. Period.
3) Every appointed official by this administration is to be removed. Purge the cancer and compromised people in office.
4) Remove every Executive Order that has been signed as they are considered compromised.
5) More accountability, transparency, and possible limiting of campaign funding needs to happen.
6) We need to inoculate our social media platforms to protect the stupid and gullible
7) We need to somehow as a society be less stupid and gullible
8) We address those and we can protect ourselves internally.

Then we figure out what to do with Russia. But ultimately we did this to ourselves because we are fucking dumb and gullible as a society.
So just this administration or any with a living President? As an example; If it were proved that Carter was aided by the Middle East should we apply the above list to that administration as well?

No one legitimately responded to anything I said. Insults and strawmen arguments, even when I was being reasonable. Exactly what I expected.

Cuck echo chamber confirmed.

This is why you don't argue with liberals. Oh well, we'll keep winning and screwing your girlfriends/wives.

Reasonable is you posting conspiracy theory BS? Your use of the term cuck is telling as well.

Have fun on stormfront or whatever nutter forum you typically hang out in.

It's likely he posted that while seething in the basement, playing video games with the music turned up so he can't hear what his mom is doing with the brilliant gentleman caller.

Brandonbullshit anymore to add to the story or is round #10382 of Duhflection from Trump's actions over?

I'm guessing the 2nd half of the story wasn't covered in the talking points you got from Hannity.

A statement about no uranium being exported was made. I provided proof to dispute that claim. I guess facts scare Team Banana.

Russian activity was largely center on denigrating Hillary prior to the election and then sowing discord about the validity of the election after Trump won. Their goal is to create confusion and dissent. And you're right...it works much better on people whose minds are already a mess.

But as usual your "proof" is only half the real story which is very different from what you were implying. Par for the course from brandonbullshit.

You merely offered a misleading statement that was intended to deceive. So either that was your intent or you were deceived yourself. Shipping uranium to Canada for processing & return to this country is immaterial to the charges leveled against the Clintons.

Their efforts after the election are apparently greatly reduced compared to the effort they put in during the campaign. Their success likely exceeds their expectations. They figured Americans were stupid but not as stupid as we've shown ourselves to be with the election of Trump.

Probably the result of being profoundly humiliated and or beaten as a child for having effeminate traits. The inner hatred expresses outwardly as a need to dominate. Not a good place to be when the real help he could seek in therapy would feel like an admission he's gay. Poor, poor manly men. Their manliness is intended to hide their desires for help from themselves. Stormfront is likely just the kind of cesspool to which such types gravitate for mutual support, a group think to mask male insecurity. It wouldn't be so sad if there were no men so effected that do not manage to get over this and lead happier lives.

I don't even know what to do about Fox news and the like. When some of your headliners (Like Hannity) start peddling absolute conspiracy theories (Seth Rich) you are no longer news. You are tabloid. Entertainment. Whatever. There needs to be some sort of massive disclaimer and banner around every story of that type saying this is for entertainment purposes only and has not been corroborated with any credible sources.

Not that it prevents the dumb and gullible from lapping it up. But it's a start.
Are you that dumb and gullible thinking Hannity or Maddow are a source of news?

I noticed you slipped in that Russia sowed "discord about the validity of the election after Trump won" as some sort of fact. Got any links to back that up?
