Good example. Calling someone an animal that stabbed someone over a 100 times, decapitated him, and removed his heart shouldn't be controversial.

Trump has a tendency to find something that looks bad that he can bludgeon someone with, and use it. Whether the bad thing is true is completely optional. No one is doubting the existence of really bad people. What I do doubt is that MS-13 is representative of the average illegal alien.

Basically if he can increase the fear of a group like MS-13 then he can more easily push through issues he wants pushed. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be concerned about such a group, though it seems they have around 10k members in the US. link

Of homicides gang related are certainly up there, though if your not involved in criminal activity the likelihood goes down dramatically. I do have to wonder what his plan is other than a wall that won't work? A lot of illegals simply didn't leave when they were supposed to.

Personally if you want a serious way to reduce gun deaths you need to reduce gun availability. Pretending their is no causal link is just crazy.

Well another way to reduce gun violence it to try to help young people be productive before they turn to gangs. Once someone is a hardened killer I'm doubtful you can do much but lock them up. I'd rather see one building of a school open 24 hours with appropriate supervision, such as the gym and such, than see a gang form. While we are at it we could require school uniforms and such to equalize things...

And an intercepted recording of the incident...

CNN

It could have been faked, but unlikely. Most of the Ukrainian assertions claim that Russia was more directly involved. It is doubtful they would fake a recording that counters their assertions.

That is a bit controversial:

For months CNN has beat the Stormy Daniels story to death. They seem to be oblivious that the American Public generally sees her as a gold digging whore. She has sex for money which is pretty much the definition of whore, on camera or not. The MSM seems enraged by the thought that Trump's base is unmoved by the whole story. Now we get a new story that makes her lawyer look like a total scum. While it was apparent to most of us rational humans, CNN - reluctantly I'd guess - ran a story that appears to confirm what many already thought. It's hilarious to have him ratted out on one of his most sympathetic outlets. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/22... Hey lefties, what do you think of your savior and his whore client now?

Don't tell me this fiasco called the Trump Administration isn't of his own doing. What was the last president to cause a sustained ruckus to this level? Hmmmm? There was plenty of hate for Obama, and plenty of people who wanted him out, yet it was nothing like this. Ditto for Dubya. THIS IS OF TRUMP'S DOING. It's crystal clear to anyone who isn't brainwashed. Don't believe the Stormy story? How about the numerous other allegations against him: allegations of harassment by other women, foreign collusion, obstruction, money laundering, tax evasion.....Trump has SO MANY skeletons in the closet that if even one is true, it could lead to his undoing. I don't care if he's a Democrat, Republican, or member of the Third Reich. If the man hasn't committed a felony that is not yet known, just give it time.

Hey lefties, what do you think of your savior and his whore client now?

You mean the 22 million emails that were recovered on archival tape?

In the links you provided I didn't see much to suggest that these GOP members were using personal accounts for the sake of circumventing FOIA requests. We can agree that public disclosure for the sake of oversight is important. As noted by the Times article:

Officials are supposed to use government emails for their official duties so their conversations are available to the public and those conducting oversight. But it is not illegal for White House officials to use private email accounts as long as they forward work-related messages to their work accounts so they can be preserved.

Nothing to worry about, just ask Newt Gingrich about analog cell phone security. Or Jimmy Carter's use of insecure radio communications in Haiti. (As an engineer, Carter should have known better. But as the world's greatest example of the Dunning-Krueger effect Donald Trump's absolute ignorance of the most basic security is par for the course.)

With such total ignorance of and disregard for basic security and absolute disrespect for scientific, technical or any other kind of expertise (diplomacy...) does anyone believe that Donald Trump hasn't been hacked? That his phone hasn't ever turned on the microphone, camera or GPS, archived his browser history and a few other things to a remote server for later use... That no-one with $100 in electronic components hasn't ever interfered his phone's 3g and 4g to force it to fall-back to insecure 2g that can be snooped with another $50 in parts?

I suppose it's possible he hasn't been hacked or that he's only been hacked by a harmless teenage nerd instead of by an enemy state but it's very very unlikely.

His predecessors were no better - and often worse - but they were given a free pass by the media. Obama used an ordinary Blackberry for years

Actually, no, Obama used a specially approved heavily restricted Blackberry. Not "an ordinary Blackberry". So, no, this is something Trump can criticized for just fine.

I'm not in the US, but from here it seems to me that Trump is pissing off all the right people. If the DC establishment and the media dislike him so much, he must be doing something right.

No, the simplest answer is most likely the correct one here; i.e. that he's just a dumb asshole.

And, in a labor camp, you don't get a choice....I"ve yet to see any area of work in the US where they hold a gun to your head, and force you to stay as an employee against your will and not allowing you to quit and seek out alternative employment.

Being poor is effectively illegal. If you don't have money, you wind up having to do illegal things to exist. Some of these things are only mildly illegal, but they can lead in various ways to loss of possessions. Penalties for a lot of typical homeless behavior include fines... against people who don't have money. If you get into enough of this trouble long enough, they'll lock you up for long intervals — either in a prison rape factory, or an insanity-inducing facility for the criminally insane.

It's better than a literal labor camp, but there's definitely a similar mechanism at work. As it turns out, people work harder if they think they're getting a good deal. Most people are pretty easy to fool, so you fool 'em. The remainder you either lock up as a warning to others, or scare into working (by locking up that middle group.) Of course, it's a lot more complicated than that; there are various shades of tricked and scared. Foundation of society, anxiety, suppress it if you can.

Or, have I missed something these past few decades?

If you have a roof over your head and know where your next paycheck is coming from, you are one of the 8%... worldwide. The rates are much better here; The current U-6 unemployment rate is 7.8%, but even that fails to account for at least 7.5 additional million workers who are unemployed. The U-2 is based on a claim of 6,346,000 unemployed workers, and it is little more than half of the U-6; This puts the total actual number of unemployed at somewhere in the vicinity of twenty million, with a rate of around 10 or 11 percent.

So uh, congrats on being part of the 90%, I guess. But that percentage is headed downwards. Young people are choosing to stay in school longer; I know for my part, when I did that it was because I didn't know what else I was going to do with myself, and there was grant and loan money available to me as a student. Others are no doubt working on more advanced degrees, in the hope that will differentiate them from other applicants, and it will; but in this economy, most of them are taking on massive student loan debt for that purpose which may never pay off.

FWIW Tesla has approx. 5-10X more fatal crashes than do similar cars driven by similar drivers on similar roads.

Where does this factoid come from? Can you provide a citation?

Here are some citations that you're full of crap:
Tesla’s Autopilot makes driving much safer
Tesla's Model X is the safest SUV ever tested

My point was P(pickup), not P(found). But you knew that.

If you really want to challenge my argument, instead of a strawman you should challenge me to provide citations of this (and similar) douchey behavior happening prior to the FCC's 2015 Open Internet Order. If you did that, I would list:

* Major ISPs throttling Netflix, et al.
* Verizon stating on-record that they would like to charge services for better access to their subscribers
* Madison River (ISP) blocking vonage
* Comcast (ISP) blocking P2P applications
* Telus (ISP) blocking access to a website critical of them
* Shaw (ISP) charging a 'QoS fee' to subscribers using competing VoIP solutions
* AT&T blocking VoIP apps on the iPhone
* AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon blocking Google Wallet
* Verizon blocking tethering apps
* AT&T charging extra if iPhone users want to use facetime, instead of AT&T's competing product

No one would put up with a power company that charged more for electricity to power appliances that weren't also bought from them. And yet, when a company that is a combination of ISP and content provider decides to trollishly increase the cost of competitive content streaming, somehow that's OK? SMH.

You ended with a point about opening up more spectrum & increasing service (which I take to mean that the former would cause the latter.) I can't personally speak to the matter of opening up more spectrum, because I don't know how much spectrum sits fallow. I would be surprised if much did.

I'm curious why you think bad people doing bad things is somehow Trump's fault? Would it not also, then, be the Senate Minority Leader's fault? Quit projecting the actions of murderous despicable vermin onto your political opponents.

... I don't know where to start.

Defeating ISIS? Like the organization responsible for new attacks every week? Withdrawing from TPP and from the Paris accord as an unilateral move that results in more pollution and less global respect? Ending the Korean war by tweeting that he will destroy it (let's forget the role the North and South Korean leaders had)? The economy was running red-hot before Trump was ever elected, he just inherited it - what he did do is give a big tax breaks to companies who are now buying shares back, further distributing wealth to capital owners (and yes, while that's you and me, it's a lot more the 1% that are friends with Trump)?

You can ask that religious crazy named Hillary Clinton about why we should put the embassy in the capitol of the country.

E.g. instead of weekly visitation, do video calls a few times a week and in-person every other week or so. Would be a win-win for everyone.

They are not looking for "win-win". They are looking for lowering costs and to charge monopoly-based prices.

The summary makes it clear that it’s slowing iPhone sales growth, not slowing iPhone sales.

This is a big deal, but it doesn't mean Apple is going out of business anytime soon. It means that Apple is transitioning from being a growth stock, to a value stock. This is a tricky thing to do. Microsoft struggled with the transition at the turn of the millennium.

In order for Apple to still remain appealing to investors, they need to pay careful attention to how they issue dividends.

Of course, there will still be some people in denial that they are no longer a growth stock. These are the people that are freaking out about slower growth. However, as long as management has come to terms with it, and doesn't try to over-saturate the market, they will be fine.

This cash? It was already theirs. The bigger problem with that payment is that it looked a lot like a ransom.

The $400 million was Iran's to start with, placed into a US-based trust fund to support American military equipment purchases in the 1970s. When the Shah was ousted by a 1979 popular uprising that led to the creation of the Islamic Republic, the US froze the trust fund. Iran has been fighting for a return of the funds through international courts since 1981.

In announcing the agreement, Obama said that paying the $400 million -- plus $1.3 billion in interest -- was saving American taxpayers billions of dollars. The Iranians had been seeking more than $10 billion at arbitration.

Then those states need to remove the 'poll tax' of the cost of an ID. Everyone seems to say 'but it's as easy as a driver's license' but not everyone has a car, you'd be surprised by the numbers.

Make the IDs free, quick, and easily replaced, and you'd see more motion in this regard, but you don't. There's always a cost for IDs for some reason and when you put a cost on anything, there will be people who cannot afford it. And the moment you say "oh those poor people don't deserve to vote then" is the moment you cease being a true American.

BULLSHIT.

Texas did just that:

Texas voter ID law can go into effect, appeals court panel rules

And it still wasn't enough to satisfy "progressives".

Why, you'd almost think the goal of "progressives" in fighting voter ID was to do things like allow illegal immigrants to commit vote fraud.

"There's no vote fraud!"

Again, BULLSHIT. How can you tell if there's vote fraud if you don't ID the voter? You can't.

Hey, look!

If you want to know what the Hatch Act says, the Act itself is probably shorter than that Comey article. You can see for yourself exactly what it says, with no worry that the reporter is spinning it.

Are you a lawyer who specializes in this area of law? Because I'm not.

A good honest reporter will actually talk to experts who know what they're talking about and include that information in that article. We're trying to parse a weirdly formatted document making constant assumptions about the meaning of terms and phrases that might be completely unjustified.

Perhaps the most interesting bit is 7324 subsection (B).
It says that people who are always on duty, because they are appointed officials rather than 9-5 employees, still have their first amendment rights. They can voice their political opinions just like everyone else, and the "not while on duty" rule doesn't apply to them since they are on duty 24/7.

I think that's part of what you're getting wrong.

It's not saying they're on duty 24/7, it's saying their position continues outside of normal work hours so at any moment you can be on duty. For instance, if you're appearing at CPAC as an FCC commissioner you're on duty, however, if you're at a BBQ chatting with friends you're not on duty. Unless one of those friends happens to be a CEO of a telecom bugging you about a policy and they you might be on duty again. It means your on-duty status is determined by the role you're playing in the moment, not by whether you're in the office during regular working hours.

But the office of special council's letter didn't actually talk about 7324, it talked about 7323(a)(1), using his position to interfere in an election. O'Reilly was appearing at CPAC in his capacity as an FCC commissioner when he advocated for a specific candidate in an election.

It's not a novel interpretation, Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services got nabbed for a very similar infraction.

Trump deserves credit for Korean thaw

Fake news did, or at least that's what Trump called them yesterday on his Fox and Friends tirade.

The South Korean foreign minister "believes President Donald Trump is largely responsible for bringing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to the negotiating table".

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/26...

Is your understanding of the Korean political situation more astute than hers?

It's a combination of factors. Trump and his hardline stance giving Kim no room for belligerent talk. South Korea recently electing a very liberal President (some even call him communist). And Kim still being relatively new to the reins of power in North Korea (2011).

The combination of the three has produced a unique situation where the political stances which had been the status quo for over 50 years can be thrown out without anyone losing face. The long-term North Korean stance has been that South Korea is a puppet state of the U.S., and until now they've refused to negotiate solely with South Korea, always insisting on negotiating with the U.S. instead. The U.S. in turn has insisted that all major belligerents in the war be involved in any peace treaty talks (North and South Korea, U.S., China, and Russia). And South Korea's leadership has with a couple short exceptions been fairly conservative, and unwilling to yield almost anything to North Korea.

Trump broke with the 5-country peace treaty stance the U.S. has held for decades, and agreed to meet with Kim one-on-one. It's a Nixon-goes-to-China situation, where only a hard-line opponent could give ground on a long-held position without losing face. Kim broke with North Korea's insistence that South Korea was a puppet state and that any peace treaty be negotiated between it and the U.S., and agreed to meet Moon directly as representatives of two nations. And Moon agreed to meet Kim, which former Korean Presidents from conservative parties probably wouldn't have been able to do without being kicked out of power by their own party.

Kim also happens to be a k-pop fan. And one of the best ways I've found for reconciling two people with an acrimonious history is to start with something they both like. It sounds cheesy, but it forces you to think of the other side as being comprised of real people just like yourself, not nameless faces onto which you can project decades of ingrained stereotypes and prejudices.

Demonitization is also driven in part by corporate 'news' organizations. It wasn't enough for youtube to adjust their recommended algorithm to favor corporate mouthpieces for propaganda, they want to eliminate income for independent news commentators as well.

And before you say "but infowars!", CNN is also targeting Jimmy Dore with this hatchet piece.

Cable Internet took off in 1997, it was only slow to reach rural areas. You must have been too young to remember the "net days" of 1995 and 1996 when fiber optic cables were being run across the country. I was in college at the time when our state representative stopped by the college campus to give a speech and do a Q&A session, the first question asked was when cable Internet was going to be delivered to our area, it was the most important topic of discussion for all of the students there. As much as I hate to link to CNN, here's an article to give a little insight: http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9706/1...

A 74% inflation-adjusted increase since 2000 would be around a 150% raw increase.

That means the same service that cost you $100 in 2000 would cost you around $250 now.

If you believe that, I have some swampland in Florida that would be perfect for you.

You're right, don't believe that inlation since 2000 has been 100% (doubling the 74% post-adjusted increase as you have).

And I'm right. From 2000 to 2018 it was 44.5%.

I also don't believe your base rate, because there were a number of stories in 2016 reporting that the average had just crossed $100/mo.

And I'm right. In 2000 the average was reported to be about $40/mo.

That means that your numbers are indeed swampland-sales quality.

so they're still right wing there. The leaders of the Democratic party are right wing too. The mega corps have bought out everything, so they control the message. Hell, they guy who runs the Consumer Protection Bureau just openly admitted to accepting bribes and it was barely covered. NY Times, WAPO and the left wing Youtubers covered it. CNN buried it in an opinion piece. You'd think this would be national news.

THE DOCTRINE OF FASCISM-BENITO MUSSOLINI (1932)

Accepting mussolini's propaganda as an accurate description of fascism is like taking The Democratic Republic of North Korea's word that they are a democracy.

Instead, lets take the word of more neutral sources:

Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation.
