My favorite commercial was the return of the E*TRADE Baby. Not so much for the commercial itself (they should have found some way to sneak in some "Airwolf" themes), but just for knowing that I'll see more E*TRADE Baby commercials in the future.

I did appreciate the Anna Kendrick commercial. When it started, I had a solid WTF look on my face wondering what Mattel was smoking, then it became a lot of fun. I was also SUPER stoked by the "We should tell him the truth." line in the new Doctor Strange trailer.

I didn’t see the E*trade one. I’ll have to look it up.

It's regrettable that most republicans are home schooled and lack any formal or genuine education about Operation Ivy Bells - if they where they would understand that it's not "Russia" has nothing to do with "Russia" or though it does but doesn't if you catch my drift, it's actually about something else... But as they say in the intelligence game.. Mum's the word..

If they where actually intelligent as to what it's all about "oh glory, glory.." Let me put it to you republican retards as gently as I can, do you know why both a computer and a submarine go "Ping?" yes or no? An if yes what does it have to do with the Liberty Bell... Oh my goodness a real education how terrifying!

Would it be fair to say Trump was more right than wrong, though? When someone is targeted with high level, White House tech access, s/he does not know exactly whom is doing the spying. That unequal dynamic is one reason we intuitively disfavor warrantless or extrajudicial surveillance.

Yeah, he was right on the money caught doing the old value added tax fraud carousel, then he got caught and now he's looking at the remainder of his life in an orange jump-suit... With no Democratic Bank willing to handle his crap about being spied on... IUSS & SOSUS.. SURTASS moron, it's your own technology to counter "Soviet" aggression and collectively blow up "Soviet" submarines, no wonder Putin is M.A.D screaming "these are my enemies..." yeap, it was declassified in 1988 along with other cold war crap and handed over to the Public to maintain... It's a "HYDROPHONE" for a United States Submarine dip-shit...

Have you seen the Sussmann filing? A lawyer affiliated with Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC "provided data which he claimed reflected purportedly suspicious DNS lookups by these entities... affiliated with a Russian mobile phone provider... The defendant further claimed that these lookups demonstrated that Trump and/or his associates were using supposedly rare, Russian-made wireless phones in the vicinity of the White House and other locations. The Special Counsel's Office has identified no support for these allegations."
