One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

I think you may need to edit that.

I suspect the chart has more to do with an emotional response to Amurikkan politics than real feelings about Putin.

Polling error margins were typical in the election. I don't think these are 50 points off.Turdacious wrote:Who did that polling out predict would win the election?

There has been a wholesale rejection of neoconism in the Republican party. And an embrace of isolationism. An actual reappraisal of history has happened. That accounts for the maj of that. But sure, there are dumb lugs who just like him now because their guy likes him.Grandpa's Spells wrote:Net favorability of Putin:

Within the next 4 years, the neolibs will implode as well and the Dem opinion will change radically as well.

From most reports, every bit of hacked information that Putin (or whomever) stole was true.
Many Dems are beyond outraged because they feel they lost an election due to the people being influenced by the truth that they wanted kept hidden. The truth that they wanted concealed.
And, even funnier, that truth was (possibly) disclosed by an evil Russian. In the 70's & 80's the more leftist Dems couldn't make enough excuses for Russian depredations. Now that their office gossip was stolen, it's an earth shaking event.
To twist it further, some formerly Russian hating Repugs have a secret man crush on Putin who really is an evil enemy of America.

Not sure if you're missing the minus signs or if I'm really missing something.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... r-of-shaleSometime in 2017, for the first time in 60 years, the U.S. will likely sell more natural gas to the world than it buys. Next year, capacity to export liquefied natural gas from the lower 48 states, chilled to –260F so it can be shipped by tanker, will more than double, to 3.2 billion cubic feet per day. That will add to huge increases in the volume of gas already being piped to Mexico and could boost exports to foreign countries to about 9 percent of total U.S. gas production.
A lot of those new exports will go to Latin America. Since the first LNG tanker left the Louisiana coast in February 2016, 34 cargoes have departed through early October, with two-thirds of them going to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. Colombia will be a new buyer in 2017; the country is on track to begin importing LNG from a new floating regasification vessel by the end of this year. Shipments to Asia are also set to rise as India increases LNG imports amid low prices.
Europe could be in play, too, with the U.S. trying to compete with Russia, which supplies 40 percent of the European Union’s gas imports. Turkey, Russia’s third-biggest buyer, took its first LNG cargo from the U.S. in late September. “The fact that the U.S. is actually exporting, and particularly LNG to places where Russia has almost monopolistic power, is a huge development,” says Majed Limam, a senior consultant for LNG and natural gas at ship brokerage Poten & Partners.

putin himself sneaked in and deposited extra ballots.
he's so short, he mostly went unnoticed. also, the cia says he wore a shirt, so he was incognito.
