Well, the rest of the DUmmies read the secret code in that opaque vaguepost, and deciphered it as meaning 'Russia doing something unspecified that will be called hacking the election even if we have no idea what that means.'
A couple of them question why it is an act of war when it (Whatever 'It' is) happens to us but not when we do it to other countries. Dangerously lucid thinking for a member's DU longevity to think like that.

"Botany" is not a good primitive name. Plants serve a useful purpose. This primitive doesn't.

OK. I read the DUmmy link. Anyone know what the hell they're referring to?

The rest of the pack seems to have taken it as meaning 'Russia hacking the election,' neglecting for the moment that there is still no evidence that anything actually got hacked and that anyone doing the hacking can spoof the so-called indicators to make it look like someone else did it.

I figured that it meant that the DUmmie has the intellect of a turnip.

Beats me. :shrug:
Probably the fact that they are the minority in DC now is the only thing I can think of.

It's probably the Russian hacking thing, but they probably haven't called out the recently revealed German spying (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/germany-spying-white-house-merkel-intelligence-reports-a7803881.html) as an act of war. It's just Prog Talking Points Du Jour.

The first 736 convicts banished from England to Australia land in Botany Bay. Over the next 60 years, approximately 50,000 criminals were transported from Great Britain to the “land down under,” in one of the strangest episodes in criminal-justice history.
The accepted wisdom of the upper and ruling classes in 18th century England was that criminals were inherently defective. Thus, they could not be rehabilitated and simply required separation from the genetically pure and law-abiding citizens. Accordingly, lawbreakers had to be either killed or exiled, since prisons were too expensive. With the American victory in the Revolutionary War, transgressors could no longer be shipped off across the Atlantic, and the English looked for a colony in the other direction.
Captain Arthur Phillip, a tough but fair career naval officer, was charged with setting up the first penal colony in Australia. The convicts were chained beneath the deck during the entire hellish six-month voyage. The first voyage claimed the lives of nearly 10 percent of the prisoners, which remarkably proved to be a rather good rate. On later trips, up to a third of the unwilling passengers died on the way. These were not hardened criminals by any measure; only a small minority were transported for violent offenses. Among the first group was a 70-year-old woman who had stolen cheese to eat. <SNIP>
