Important to note that the only source of information we have right now is the deported person's account of events.
He does say he was detained PRIOR to the picture being found. Being detained if far more relevant than being asked about a photo.
It's also important to note that Border Control will not tell you WHY you're being denied entry, so the person ascribing it to the meme is speculating based on being asked about it.
I'm share some skepticism. While I agree with their belief that prostates suffer from unappreciated "mechanical" issues, I'm less convinced of their method of resolution.
For my own worthless anecdote, I've noted that my (usually post-orgasm) prostate pain was significantly improved when I started taking Losartan - a anti-hypertension medication (angiotension II blocker (ARB)). The day after I started taking it, I could feel my prostate like never before (then that initial sensation went away), so there was very clearly an associative mechanism of action.
I'm not sure I understand your comment. Maduro/Chavez were Soviet/Russia backed, and have since not only wrecked the country, but have now seized permanent dictatorial power.
That would mean that the group that released the percentage, and thus calculated it, was a different group than the one that released the raw numbers. That doesn't seem likely since they seem to be coming from the same gov't body.
This is an official election release, not some PR post on their website.
What a failure of our western surveillance organizations that the only spies we catch are the ones that are so bad at their jobs that they get drunk and brag about it.
How do we fail so badly to counter foreign influence, sabotage, and espionage operations?
The examples of successful foreign operations in Western countries is so long and embarrassing - high level people operating for DECADES, changing MAJOR western policies, and sending back to their foreign handlers CRITICAL data and intelligence.
If this continues, we are absolutely going to get destroyed.
These fines DO discourage these behaviors. As some who handled fines at a very large bank, a fine would ALWAYS change the bank's procedures. ...and not only fines against us, but fines against ANY bank would alter procedures.
Germany was where Putin was stationed for decades - that's why he speaks fluent German and spends a disproportionate amount of time on German politics. His penetration of German politics makes US politics in 2016 look like test run.
Putin successfully convinced the Germans to abandon nuclear power and then pay him to build a dedicated pipeline into Germany - making all of Europe more dependent on Russia.
...and Germans fell for it. There must be dozens, if not hundreds of Russian operatives in German political offices.
Exactly - and it's important to make a distinction between the bots that post comments and posts, and the much larger and more influential bot farms that manipulate content (both promoting and demoting).
Personally, I'm fairly certain it's a difficult cat-and-mouse game, but there's no question that some very popular mods also use bot farms to promote the content they want on the subs they mod.
Even political and historical events that you would not think are controversial have become biased.
As an example, there are some Wikipedia editors that continually remove mentions of genocide from the opening paragraphs of Stalin's page, whereas they leave them there for Hitler.
People really enjoy pushing their ideology in their spare time. I really don't understand it.
