    Paul Krugman, the biggest, most well read liberal Democrat mouth piece and most vocal, daily anti-Trumper at the Times just announced on Twitter someone has been using his IP address to download child porn on to his computer.

    He's currently on the phone with his "computer security team" and the NY Times internal investigation team is on it!

    He claims he's been QAnon'd and cautious everyone how crazy the world is...

    No Paul that's not how IP addresses work...

    • I forget that you're both and idiot AND a coward.garbage

    American Teen Gets 11 Year Sentence For Pro-ISIS Tweets That Taught People How To Use Bitcoin

    • I'm all for freedom of speech, but helping get people to Syria and helping people fund ISIS anonymously? Fuck him.set
    • I'm certainly open to another view point....set
    • ^
      I'm all for free speech until it's people I disagree with, so you are or aren't for free speech, what is it?
      GeorgesIV

    • read the fuckn article set,
      I'm getting really sick of your bs, you aren't for freedom of speech, read the fuckn article and come defend the 11 years he got.
      GeorgesIV
    • Making wild assumptions as usual, haha. There's no discussing with a fool.set
    • You've created a fictional persona for me in your head, and then make wild assumptions in order to fit me into your fiction and attack. It's fun to watch....set
    • I know it's makes you feel superior, attacking people who you think have different opinions to you, so by all means continue because it certainly amuses me.set
    • ooh stfu already, instead of always implying shit, just read the fuckn article or the attached pdf, but you rather as fuckn usual use ad hominem, you are so sadGeorgesIV

    • haha he's still telling me to read the article I read before I posted. Bless him.set
    • deserves 11 years of jail, even the writer of the article points out the slippery slope arguments, but you are weak, so you prefer to attack, please go awayGeorgesIV
    • haha, when did I say he deserved the 11 years in jail?

      I told you, you're filling in blanks to fit me in to the persona you enjoy attacking.

    • Start looking into amateur and professional taxidermists, butchers and deranged hillbilly veterinarians. The guy doing this has some skills.monospaced
    • Turns out it’s just scavengers and insects, which has been the case every time.monospaced
    • ^ If that was the case, this should happen as often as every year and it wouldn't have razor sharp cuts.Maaku
    • But it does. And the sharp cuts are the result of small mouths. It’s actually quite amazing. But if you want to believe it’s aliens fucking LOLmonospaced
    • Forget aliens mono. Farmers often report similar and in a few hours. The scavengers and insects line has been tested and debunked many times.fadein11
    • An animal is well and 3 hours later it's like those reported here. Bugs don't work that fast. It is a neat answer though so can understand why it is put forwardfadein11
    • lol@ sharp cuts = small mouthsGnash
    • I want to believewhatthefunk
    • Blog mode: I used to camp in this area pretty regularly, and there are free range cattle all over the place that wander from ranches to BLM lands.garbage

      garbage
    • @garbage - one talented guy then along with the other 100's of talented guys who mutilate animals in ways scientists can't understand all over the world.fadein11
    • I mean, this is remote territory where pretty much everyone has gutted their first animal by age 12. This is prepper country.garbage
    • I've solo-camped there multiple times, and this is 100% not an E.T mystery. Shit, it might even be a prank.garbage
    • I'm not saying it is E.T. Never have. But the level of precision often involved is not your average butcher or farm hand. It is an interesting subject thatfadein11
    • would've been put to bed decades ago if a simple explanation.fadein11
    • I didn't say alien, lol. Could be another super secret military project where they are testing a weapon? But like Fadein said, it's happened in other countriesMaaku
    • Ah, I hear you. Honestly I think it's a ploy to perpetuate a long-standing myth to gain media coverage.garbage
    • I've never gutted an animal but how can you puncture or cut skin, and remove internal organs without leaving traces of blood?Maaku
    • Or how can you drop a 2000 pounds animal without leaving clues? Oh yeah, maybe they used a weather ballon for that.Maaku
    • balloon*Maaku
    • @Maaku I don't think you understand how remote this area is. Tongue and balls removed, animal is hung to bleed out, placed to be found.garbage
    • Chupacabra turned into Chupavacauan
    • This is either a threat or attention-whoring, plain and simple.garbage
    • I want to believe it's a threat or a "prank", but this hard to believe when there is no proof, clues, witnesses, or traces of anything.Maaku
    • And again, similar cases of cattle mutilation have happened in other countries.Maaku
    • Yeah sure, but I'm telling you that you're way more likely to walk into a tripwire claymore than a Martian in these parts. Meth and militias rule this area.garbage
    • It's just northwest of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which a militia seized and had a shootout with the feds a few years ago.garbage
    • It WAS put to bed years ago, as it IS a simple explanation, but people LOVE a conspiracy. Ranches are thousands of acres, these weren't found hours after death.monospaced
    • @maaku, the animal dies, the blood stops pumping, and the scavengers start in. Blood is food and goes first. Cleanly.monospaced
    • I've seen a good amount of dead animals on ranch properties, some wild, some property. It's never, ever a blood bath.monospaced
