Opinions/Editorials Title: The irrational hysteria over Trump and Putin The irrational hysteria over Trump and Putin By Steve McCann I spent a good part of yesterday watching the vast army of those incapable of generating an original thought – namely, the majority of talking heads on radio and television as well as politicians in both parties, droning on about the disaster that was the Trump-Putin press conference in Helsinki. Once the first narrative was proffered by one of this gaggle, the rest dutifully repeated the talking points as if they were ventriloquist dummies. The bottom line: Trump is a buffoon inalterably subservient to the puppet master, thus betraying his country. Having watched the press conference, I did not come away this inane version of events. I come to this subject matter of Donald Trump as someone, during the primary season of 2016, who was unalterably opposed to him, going so far as to write an article, "Why I cannot vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton." However, in November, when standing in the voting booth, staring at the ballot and the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency, I voted for Trump. I am still bothered by some of his mannerisms and, at times, his buffoonish governing style as well as his refusal to address out-of-control spending. But, on the whole I am gratified that he has successfully pursued a predominantly conservative agenda at home and an America First agenda overseas, despite the constant ankle-biting by the mainstream media and the Washington Establishment's determined use of its considerable arsenal to marginalize and ultimately obliterate his presidency. Regarding the Helsinki press conference and his performance, I come to that issue from the perspective of someone who has experienced firsthand the horrors and the travails of those who survived the most devastating war in human history and the travails extant in the immediate aftermath. I do not wish to see, in my lifetime or in the future, the world again subject to a conflict of that magnitude, made possible by a careless remark or insult or the egocentricity of a megalomaniac. There is no question that Russia and China are this nation's primary geopolitical foes. While the current Russian Federation is not as powerful as its predecessor, the Soviet Union, it is, nonetheless, a formidable adversary, particularly with Putin at the helm. There is little doubt that the Russians spied on the United States and attempted to sow the seeds of discontent during the 2016 election. Almost as soon as the old Soviet Union was born in the 1920s, it, as national policy, cast a wide net of espionage and destabilization throughout Europe and America. America responded slowly and did not fully reciprocate with its own espionage activities until after World War II and the dawning of the Cold War. This chess match is now approaching its 90th anniversary. However, it was the Obama cabal, including the hierarchy of the intelligence services, together with the now left-wing Democratic Party in alliance with the mainstream media that changed the understanding and rules of the game. In a planned and well executed strategy highlighted by shouting from the rooftops about fictitious collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign, the old rules were discarded as the special counsel, Robert Mueller, has been forced, in order to justify his existence, to criminally indict numerous Russian nationals who will never stand trial in the United States. This derisible tactic is not only unprecedented in the international spy and destabilization game, but foolish beyond measure, as similar retaliation for American spying is now on the table. Listening to the reaction of the rabble to Trump's performance at the Helsinki press conference, one would assume that the only acceptable course for him to take was to verbally punch Putin in the nose. Why are those so eager to see Trump humiliated and undermined so willing to denigrate and provoke this nation's historical rival? What purpose would it have served to gratuitously insult Putin in front of the entire world? Is destroying Trump of such paramount importance that the potential of Russian retaliation could escalate into further reprisals on both sides leading to a possible lethal conflict as Putin is first and foremost a nationalist and not the most stable of international leaders? Could Trump have chosen his words better regarding his confidence in the American intelligence community? Yes. But after nearly 18 months of unrelenting leaks and harassment, this same group, led by Robert Mueller, has made it exceedingly difficult to govern, and his annoyance and frustration bubbled out. It should not have, but, nonetheless, it is understandable, as 14 months of Mueller's investigations has revealed no criminal activity by the Trump campaign despite desperately seeking collusion under every rock. Unlike so many others, I do not want any president of the United States to gratuitously and publicly insult an adversary, be it Russia or China, but instead to hammer out difficult issues in private. Over the history of mankind, too many conflicts and resultant casualties have occurred because of the egocentricity of the leaders over minor issues. Regardless of the hysteria, the Russian attempt to sow chaos during the 2016 election season is a minor issue, as the attempt was not only largely unsuccessful, but amateurishly executed. Thank you, Donald Trump, for not succumbing to the rabble and instead leaving the door open for candid communication with Russia when and if a major crisis rears its ugly head.

#26. To: VxH (#25) Any right triangle must have sides and angles where the Sine, Cosine, Tangent, C-Tangent, Secand, and Co-secant correctly compute. If side a is 338 ft, and the angle of elevation of 14.7º rises to that height of 338 ft, side b will be 1264.283557 feet. So, the hypotenuse is impossible, and side b is whack by 26 feet. Please do demonstrate the trigonometry behind your childish Google Sketchup nonsense. Do the math. I will get you started.

You do the math. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As soon as you publish your proof for your mathematical formula c < b. Even a complete jackass, such as yourself, can see from your original play picture, from your #181 to which I linked, that you showed a hypotenuse of 1009' 4". Your original play picture shows part of a circle with a radius of 338'. Your second play picture displays the same radius of the circle as 338' on an up/down line. On a somewhat downward slanting horizontal line, you added a new measurement of the radius of that same circle at 324' 6". How the radius shrinks on one side by 11' 6" is not explained. It's a magic circle, or magic math. 1009' 4" + 338' is 1347' 4". 1009' 4" + 324' 6" is 1333' 10". Keep changing that side radius distance, make believe it was part of the original hypotenuse, until you get your math to work. What the magic circle with the changing radius is doing there is a mystery. The difference between level travel to end point and travel from elevation to end point is c - b, not the vertical distance of the elevation. The 338' up/down radius of the circle indicates the elevation of the shooter, and the circle indicates you had an irresistable impulse to draw a circle and make believe the radius was something other than 338' at another angle. 338' was a stated distance of elevation. 324' 6" appears to be a figure plucked from your ass. Given angles A (14.70°) and C (90.00°) and side a (338') — A = 14.70° a = 338.00 ft A + B + C = 180º b = sin(B) * a / sin(A) c = sin(C) * a

WRONG. Your claim of a radius of 324' 6" is just bullshit pulled out of your ass. Your incorrect hypotenuse is still 1009' 4" + the actual radius length 338' = 1347' 4". Your newly minted hypotenuse of 1333.83 feet, using data pulled from your ass, is still WRONG. If you change the circle to a 324' 6" radius, the 1009' 4" section of the hypotenuse would need to expand 13' 6" to 1022' 10" to reach the radius circle. In any case, I gave you the formulas and your "calculations" leave out any calculations and all your results are wrong. You still have both 338 and 324' 6" in your number puzzle. On the first line you list 338 and 114244. Nobody asked you what the square of 338 is. On the second line you list 1290.5833333333 and 1665605.34027778. Nobody asked you what the square of 1290' 7" is. You were asked to solve for side b, not pull the figure 1290' 7" out of your ass and square it. Use the trig function and discover that the figure 1290' 7" is mathematically impossible. An angle of elevation of 14.7° does not reach an elevation of 338' at a distance of 1290' 7". I gave you the formula. I can't help it if you are too dumb, stupid, ignorant, and incompetent to use the formula. Pulling 1290 feet out of your ass is not a mathematical solution to side b. On your third line you list the sum of 338 squared and 1290' 7" squared. This would be the hypotenuse if you had properly solved for side b using the trig formula b = sin(B) * a / sin(A). That does not give 1290' 7". The hypotenuse, solved with the formula c = sin(C) * a is not 1333.83. Indeed, your wacky diagram at the bottom shows the distance of 1333' 11" and at the top of the rectangle shows 1009' 4" and 324' 6" which adds to 1333' 10". Of course, this relied on you fudging the 324' 6" distance by 13' 6". Unfortunately, c = sin(C) * a does not solve to 1333 anything using the known, given figures of A=14.70°, C=90°, and a=338'. The three given figures dictate what the remaining sides and angles MUST be. Side a can be 338 or 324' 6", but it cannot be both. It is 338' as the given height of the window. 324' 6" is just a bullshit number, pulled out of your ass. It does not belong to anything but your imagination. You are a mathematically incompetent nincompoop. Trig, TRig, TRIG!!! Do the math!!!!! Or just admit that you do not know how to work with basic trig functions.
#31. To: nolu chan (#30) GFYS Douchebag, The Sides add up. libertysflame.com/cgi-bin...? ArtNum=56433&Disp=49#C49
#32. To: VxH (#31)
GFYS Douchebag, The Sides add up. The sides no longer add up to a right triangle, shithead. Now how, no way. What an arrogant but stupid prick who can't do simle math. 338 feet was calculated by a given floor/ceiling measurement of 10.9 feet per floor, multiplied by 31 = 337.9 feet, which would put Paddock standing on the 32nd floor. After you shorten side a to 324.60 feet, and retain hypotenuse c at 1333.83, and side b at 1290.58 feet, it is impossible to retain a right traingle as it is a mathematical certainty that angle C will be greater than 90°. You will also have changed angle a to 14.08°, angle b to 75.36°. Angle c will be 90.56°. And Paddock will fall to the 30th floor. As you changed the triangle so it is no longer a right triangle, the formula for right triangles a2 + b2 = c2 no longer works. Congratulations, your spider infested mind just gave birth to a misshapen mess which I shall christen Gollum's Triangle. As can readily be visualized, if you shorten side a by 13½ feet, and keep the dimensions of b and c, side a must leave its vertical position and fall away from point A as that is the only way the two lines remain connected. The 13½ foot shortening drops Paddock to the 30th floor, and the departure from the vertical drops him some more. Line B-C is supposed to be representing the elevation from the ground to Paddock's window. You can arbitrarily just change a figure on your cartoon, but Paddock's window did not actually move. If you shorten side a to 324.60, and you retain the vertical side to a right triangle, and retain the angle of elevation at 14.70°, then you must get side b at 1237.30 feet and side c at 1279.17 feet. The hypotenuse, side c or line B-A has been shortened 54.66 feet. ))) I love how you think changing one measurement of a triangle does not change anything else. There are only 3 sides and 3 angles to a triangle. All of the miscellaneous lines you drew beyond that are just surplus bullshit. You have presented Gollum's Triangle, a misshapen pile of shit. Just because you draw it in the shape of a right triangle does not mean the associated data makes a right triangle possible. Where's your MATH? A = 14.70° a = 324.60 ft A + B + C = 180º b = sin(B) * a / sin(A) c = sin(C) * a
#33. To: nolu chan (#32) libertysflame.com/cgi-bin...? ArtNum=56433&Disp=53#C53
#34. To: VxH (#33) WRONG. Get the fuck out of here. If A=14.70°, side a = 338' and side b = 1290.58' then angle B = 75.68° and angle C = 89.62° and hypotenuse c = 1331.95' Of course, with angle C being 89.62°, you have another misshapen Gollum Triangle, not a right triangle. With your given data, it is a mathematical impossibility to have a right triangle. It is impossible to have angle C be 90°. Trig does not lie. You do. Your stipulated angle of 14.70 and sides of 338 and 1290.58 cannot make a right triangle. As you cannot possibly have a right triangle, you application of a formula applicable only to right triangles yields bullshit results. You get two different figures for hypotenuse c, 1334.11 and 1333.83, both of them wrong. With sides of 338, 1334.11 and 1290.58, you cannot get a right triangle with an angles of 14.70 and 75.30. Provide 3 sides and 3 angles that are not mathematically impossible to work with each other to form a right triangle. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You created two radii, one being 338' and the other 324.5'. All radii of the same circle are the same length. You get your choice of one. If the radius is 338', then the hypotenuse is 1009.33 + 338 = 1347.33 as shown in your cartoon #1. You can't fudge your figures by 13.5' by claiming two radii of different lengths. Your figures are still a mess. With angle A = 14.70°, angle C = 90° and side a = 338', Angle B = 75.30°, side b = 1288.38' and hypotenuse c = 1331.98', as sure as
b = sin(B) * a / sin(A) Try it with trig when you learn how. The figures actually work. Side b is not 1290.5833 if the angle of elevation is 14.70° or you do not have a right triangle. You have yet to describe how you determined the length of side b is 1290.5833 feet. Hypotenuse c is not 1334.1099. Nor is hypotenuse c is 1009.33 + 338 = 1347.33' as per your first cartoon. Nor can you even make believe hypotenuse c is 1009.33 + 324.5 = 1033.8 as per your revised cartoon with two different radii. With a 324.5' radius you lose your right triangle. With a 338' radius your bullshit cartoon yields a hypotenuse of 1347.33.

#37. To: VxH (#35) I can observe the truth is that wormholes are all around us, only they're too small to see. Wormholes are very tiny. They occur in nooks and crannies in space and time. You might find it a tough concept, but stay with me. Nothing is flat or solid. If you look closely enough at anything you'll find holes and wrinkles in it. It's a basic physical principle, and it even applies to time. Even something as smooth as a pool ball has tiny crevices, wrinkles and voids. Now it's easy to show that this is true in the first three dimensions. But trust me, it's also true of the fourth dimension. There are tiny crevices, wrinkles and voids in time. Down at the smallest of scales, smaller even than molecules, smaller than atoms, we get to a place called the quantum foam. This is where wormholes exist. Tiny tunnels or shortcuts through space and time constantly form, disappear, and reform within this quantum world. And they actually link two separate places and two different times. But this is only introductory to the theory that "time is a derivative function of state-change which progresses relative to E within the inertial frame(s) it is observed in." - - - - - - - - - - https://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=55999&Disp=139#C139

You can draw whatever you want with your etch-a-sketch, but that does not mean it reflects reality. Your right triangle calculator states that you must enter the values for TWO sides and one of the two angles, a or b. Your chosen calculator automatically enters 90 degrees for angle c, and is not subject to user modification. Your problem is that you are given angle A of 14.70 degrees and side a of 338 feet, and you must solve for sides b and c. You cannot just pull 1290.583333333 out of your ass to nine decimal places, and just enter it and make believe you just solved for it. With number of decimal places set to 1, the value of side b of 1290.583333333 is OBVIOUS DIRECT DATA INPUT. With side a of 338 feet and angle A given as 14.70, the 90° angle C is impossible, as is the 75.30° angle B. As you have here used a calculator which does not calculate angles based on trig functions, it does not recognize angle incompatibility. On the bright side, your new calculator does give you the trig tables they say are needed for side and angle functions of a right triangle, as when you only know one side value. Try using them. If you can figure out how to use them, you will not look like such a fucking yukonesque idiot. As you have chosen to use a CALCULATOR OF RIGHT TRIANGLES, the value of angle C is forced to 90°. Your chosen calculator makes it 90°.

The second lesson from Las Vegas is that the geometry of Paddock’s attack rendered security measures ineffective—even those of Las Vegas, a city with thousands of armed police and security guards on duty around the clock, surveillance cameras covering nearly every inch of ground, and a sophisticated police department with a robust SWAT capability. Paddock apparently fired on concertgoers from a room on the 32nd story of the Mandalay Bay hotel, across the street and approximately 400 meters from the concert. 400 meters is approximately 1312.3 feet. - - - - - - - - - - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/02/us/las-vegas-mass-shooting-weapons.html
Gunman’s Vantage Point and Preparations Opened the Way for Mass Slaughter About 500 yards away is about 1500 feet away. - - - - - - - - - - For an actual KNOWN distance, where angle A is 14.70°, and side a of a right triangle is 338 feet, tan A = tan(14.70) = 0.2623450889 = opp/adj = a/b 0.2623450889 = 338/b b = 338 / 0.2623450889 b = 1288.379369 - - - - - - - - - - Or, tan B = tan(75.30) = 3.81177328 = opp/adj = b/a 3.81177328 = b/338 b = 338 * 3.81177328 b = 1288.379369 - - - - - - - - - - side b is not approximately 1290.58 to any number of imaginary decimal places. side b is 1288.379369. For someone who claims abilities in Einstein's General and Special Theories of Relativity, Calculus, and the theoretical physics math of time travel, you exhibit an inability to do basic high school math when called upon to calculate the sides and angles of a right triangle with angle A of 14.70° and side a of 338 feet.
Your donkey sure has a hard time with details and decimal precision settings. What a congenital fuckwit. You make up an incorrect side b to 9 decimal places of inaccuracy and imprecision, and fail to realize you still look like a monkey fucking a football in the middle of the stadium. Keep fucking that football. Keep demonstrating you can only talk about math but can't do it. Approximate to 9 decimal places of inaccuracy! Approximate to the billionth of the wrong foot! You are good for comic relief.

What kind of tricks does your psychotic donkey do when decimal precision is changed from 1 to 2?
