Politics stops at the water’s edge … 2016 style
Rep Trent Franks (R-AZ): “If Russia succeeded in giving the American people information that was accurate, then they merely did what the media should have done.”
I find this disgraceful.

When Putin decides to stab Trump in the back and dump all of his secrets on WikiLeaks, we will see if the same things are said by Rep. Franks and by people like me. I will think it rather jolly but this will be tempered by the conviction that the dump should have occurred before the election and not after. Enter text right here!
The dump showed nothing but that party politics are party politics, and that John Podesta gets a lot of emails. Anyone trying to portray this as any grand anti-democratic scheme has serious blinders on. Did the Democratic Establishment not want Bernie as their candidate? Of course not! But anyone who thinks that Bernie would have done better than the winner of the election is freaking delusional.
On the other hand foreign interference in US elections should horrify us all. Franks is abdicating any pretense of patriotism to present this justification for undermining our country. If the shoe were on the other foot we'd be hearing the howling and rage to the moon and back.
Who knew that Trent Franks had such an expansive view of the First Amendment? I don't think the courts have previously ruled that the press is allowed to commit cyber-crime to uncover the truth, but maybe we need a test case. It may also be time to reconsider whether shouting "Fire" in a crowded theater is protected speech. I mean, what if the theater is hosting a hippity-hop musical with ethnic actors playing roles that should be performed by people of limited color? Or a play about AIDS? If the courts don't want to go against precedent, then maybe a good test case would be whether it's okay to shout "He's got a gun, and he looks pretty swarthy to me!"
Of course, in the present case, the press didn't have to steal the e-mails; Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear, abetted by Wikileaks, did the hard (and possibly illegal, if you're being all persnickety about it) work of purloining them. The good news for the press is that apparently the Russians have also hacked Republicans, so they don't need to do anything illegal. All they need to do is encourage the Russkies and Wikileaks (which may already have the stuff anyway) to release what they've got and let the press take it from there. I'm sure Franks would agree. Sunlight is a good disinfectant, but theft, chicanery and skulduggery are even better.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
