I'm with you on Colin, but that ship has sailed. Thiel??? No F'n Way. He doesn't believe in a free press. Substitute Mark Cuban for Thiel, and I'm there. Cuban will run for POTUS in 2020 or 2024.

If so and if he wins he'd damn well better honor Trump at least within his Heart as tantamount to a messiah, for making The Path for him. NO Way Cuban would have gotten anywhere even remotely close had we not walked the path we have in this last year.

On Thiel, "he doesn't Believe in a Free Press is a massive simplification", unimportant to clarify though and Colin...yeah I'd agree that ship has sailed, maybe that ship never even existed. At all.

Puzzling, that....if that ship (Colin Powell bid for Presidency) never existed though I have every confidence that he has very very VERY good reasons, why not.

Per Thiel, again he'd bring me so much wrapped up in one man....so much inroads to so different Vital demographics, it'd be incredible actually.

Whatever shortcomings Thiel has, philosophically, he'd be able to put those aside for A Much Greater Good.

Colin Powell? I'd like to have gotten at least a shot at talking him into being on the ticket, for just 4 years, then we go from there.


A bit late in the game now though, and to be totally honest probably just like Colin Powell, Thiel may very well have had no Interest in the job. He kinda has "very clear" ideas on what he wants to do and does not wanna do :):)

That "Free Press" deal, nutshell: GAWKER. later taken down by Hulk Hogan. Worthwhile to take into account the source of Thiel's aggravation there Guesser. Gawker paid The Piper, got what was due them.

Didn't run off anywhere, Idiot. There is no 30 day period where I didn't log in to the RX in the last year. An absolute lie. Just because I didn't post in your unreadable thread that you ruined, doesn't mean I wasn't "logged in", Idiot. No wonder you support the Idiot Drumpf. Your Brain stopped working. face)(*^%

Funding a legitimate lawsuit against a publication that prematurely outed you has absolutely no correlation to not believing in freedom of the press. C'mon Guesser.

Thiel gives to several journalist advocacy groups.

I understand Thiel's aggravation, and I agree that people should not be outed without there consent. But you don't seek revenge, and fund various lawsuits to try and put the Journalistic entity out of business, because you disagree with them, or what they did. That's what Dictators, like the Idiot Drumpf's idol Putin does, curb a free press. It's a moot point anyway, thankfully. Thiel was born in Germany, to German Parents. You'll have to get behind Cuban. :103631605

That is actually not how dictators curb a free press at all.

If they weren't doing anything wrong, they wouldn't have gone out of business. They had their day in a court of law.

Even if you disagree with his actions, thats a pretty thin reason to dislike someone. Why can't you just say the real reason you don't like him? Because he spoke on Trump's behalf at the RNC. Atleast be for real.

Sorry, but someone who believes in a Free Press doesn't do what Thiel did. It was an abuse of money and power, and a glimpse of what he would do, if given enough power to do it, with other media he didn't agree with. Someone like that should be nowhere near the oval office, and thankfully, he never will be.

I disliked him as soon as I found out he was backing Hogan financially in the Gawker lawsuit. I didn't know or care about his politics. Now that he's backing The Idiot Drumpf, of course my disdain for him grows.

Why do you care where Hogan's $ comes from? He either has a legitimate case or he doesn't. Someone having an axe to grind vs the publication would be completely useless if they didn't open themselves up to a lawsuit like that. And their rhetoric is awful anyway, shocker they made a few enemies.

If you have an issue, it should be with the courts for the ruling and putting that bastion of fine journalism out of business.

it's not an uncommon practice, although I'm surprised NY has so many parties endorsing Presidential candidates

We used to have the "Connecticut Party" at the top of the ticket when the POS Lowell Weiker was governor

He promised he was not going to implement an income tax, said "everyone knows that raising taxes now would be pouring gasoline on the fire that's a recession"

He then raised taxes and implemented an income tax within the first 30 or so days. He went to the Clinton school of honesty, have two positions and lie to the people. He didn't bother running for a second term and the Connecticut Party died.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. All politicians lie...all of them.

I care when a Major Media entity is forced out of business by someone with enough power and/or money to do so. It is very dangerous in a free Country. I don't care if that media entity rattled cages. That's a good thing. Again, I disagree with the outing. But a decade long crusade to put them out of business, because you can? Not in the America I believe in.

You keep saying he used his power to force them out of business like he is Tony Soprano.

He funded a lawsuit, they went to court and lost. What is so dangerous about that?

Unless you want some type of reform relating to invasion of privacy and personal rights laws? (Would have nothing to do with who funded the lawsuit)

If Gawker opened themselves up to being sued for doing something wrong, all he did was fill the vacuum that allowed it to happen. They probably would've been sued a lot more over the years if finances weren't an issue.

Oh Dayum.

New Item for my To Do List, I guess: Suppress, Wipe Away all Record of German Birth, get California Birth Record.

I hope this doesn't cause any "controversy."

Nice Catch, I did not recall that Thiel born in Germany.

not true, and some do such at a significantly higher rate than others who do lie, while still others are borderline criminal

they are simply not all the same, that's what people say to justify their support for documented proven liars

And yes, it is a good thing if a media entity rattles cages but it works both ways.

Citizens are free to rattle the media entities cage as well if they are not acting ethically or legally compliant.

haha, like that ever happens

Rigged?

Republicans have majority of the House, majority of the Senate, majority of state Governors, majority of the state legislative bodies, but the voting is all rigged against them.

And all the private polling companies are in on it too...oh and since states are in charge of their elections, all the state attorney generals are in on it. Donald Trump is a loser that cannot lose graciously.

On November 8th Trump is going to lose, but dozens of Republicans are going to win races for the Senate, House, statewide etc. Trump is feeding the notion that elections can't be trusted, so it follows that all these Republicans elected were also elected by a rigged system, especially in all those states with the GOP in control. The GOP has created a monster who is now casting doubt on their own legitimacy.
