YouTube has announced a more formal and wider set of sanctions it's prepared to level on any creator that starts to post videos that are harmful to viewers

Somehow I'm sure, Che Guevara will not be deemed offensive...

Neither will Margret Thatcher. Both are non-offensive because they aren't trying to be racist, sexist or in any other way bigoted... And I'm not a fan (of Maggie or Che, both too extremist for my tastes).

There isn't a conspiracy against the right, if you find your idols and demagogues are getting in trouble for being bigots too often, maybe you should find better people to worship.

Yes, Google has full right to do what they please with their servers and services. Just wish that they — and other people defending this right of theirs — were consistent and allowed other people and companies to exercise the same rights.

The bureau must also submit semi-annual budget justifications. - The bureau is subject to an annual financial audit by the Government Accountability Office, a congressional agency.

I wonder who approved the cost of the new CFPB headquarters, which are (is?) a Class A building. This article shows pictures of the interior, and states,

The $124 million spent to date for the 303,000 square foot office building is $409 per square foot, more than Trump World Tower, which cost $334 per square foot or Las Vegas’ Bellagio Hotel and Casino, priced at $330 per square foot.

It’s also double the $227.64 per square foot construction costs for “Class 1 – Best Quality” of masonry or concrete government buildings as reported in the 2018 National Building Cost Manual, the Bible for construction cost projections.

Clinton ‘Hatchet Man’ Shopped Trump Dirt Earlier Than Previously Believed

Well, well, well....

Looks like the "Steele" dossier was actually the handiwork of Cody Shearer - and Steele was just a convenient prop for it.

You know, to hide its origins in the anus of the Hillary! campaign.

No wonder the FBI obfuscated the origins of the Shearer dossier from the FISA court....

Did you have a problem when it was Obama and Holder?

For the record, I didn't vote for Trump

You should become a journalist at CNN considering how you try to purposefully distort the facts of the whole story. If you actually read the article attached to the link you provided instead of just the headline you'd see this little nugget:

Based on the letter, the CFPB’s fund at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has $177.1 million, more than projected second-quarter expenses of $145 million.

(emphasis mine)

So the CFPB absolutely has a full budget, but unlike when the agency was being run by greedy Democrats the current head understands that he doesn't need to waste even more of our money to do the job.

It should be the norm to not ask for money you don't need, but I can tell you first hand that when I worked in a part of the federal government in the early 90's, the end of every year the agency I worked for went on a spending spree to burn up every dollar left in their budget. They premise was "if we don't spend it this year, they'll reduce our budget next year".

No budgets are ever reduced because Congress hides behind the bullshit Budget act of 1974 where they passed a law that says

Baseline budgeting uses current spending levels as the "baseline" for establishing future funding requirements and assumes future budgets will equal the current budget times the inflation rate times the population growth rate

What this means in practical terms is every single year the law requires them to spend more money than the previous year and every one of the elected officials gets to go home during elections and say "well that's the law". So every time you hear the politicians say they're "cutting spending" what they are actually doing is cutting the spending increase.

This budget act law is just like the laws they passed to create the un-Constitutional regulatory agencies such as the CFPB or the EPA. The Constitution only empowers the Legislative branch to define laws but Congress members are so sleazy they didn't want to have to go on record as voting for crap like EPA rule to regulated puddles. So they permit these un-elected bureaucrats to create rules they don't have the balls to vote on.

But these rules are backed by threat of fines or jail time which means they are in affect laws that were never passed by the legislation nor signed by the President.

But none of that matters to you because you're nothing but a mindless ideologue who is perfectly happy to try and distort what should be considered a correct move by a government agency into a slight or slur against the current administration.

And of course we know that the any increase you may seeing your paycheck and any bonus you got because of the tax bill you are dutifully sending back to your beloved central government so they can have it available to spend by these un-Constitutional agencies that you're so worried about, right? You are putting your money where your mouth is correct? Well that of course assumes you are actually earning a paycheck and not living off the taxpayers.

EPA Grants Itself Power to Regulate ponds, ditches and puddles

US Ambassador to Panama John Feeley stated on December 27, 2017 that he wanted to resign. MSNBC put out a tweet that incorrectly implied that Feeley had resigned because of Trump's s*hole comment. They later removed the incorrect tweet, and put out a correct one.

Does anybody remember when he was a hero?

A hero? Nope, sorry. There are heroes in this world, but Assange was never one of them.

For exposing the corrupt US government to the whole world? Did that go down the memory hole? Benedict Cumberbatch played him in the movie, for fucks sake.

Here's a hint about movies: You can use them to tell stories.

Stories aren't always true. You'd think you'd know about propaganda. Maybe you should learn to recognize a work of fiction concocted to spin a message.

And he does what he always does, expose the corrupt US government to the whole world, and he suddenly became the worst criminal in the world? How does this even work?

Well, it turns out, DUMB-and-DUMBER, he isn't the worst criminal in the world. If he was, then he'd have been caught selling oil to North Korea or something. He's just a self-serving hack who gets in the news from time to time, isn't doing anything meaningful, and accomplishing little except burning up some attention from time to time.

Notice how he didn't actually do anything about the corruption in the US government, in state government, or even a city. Nothing he did accomplished one bit of constructive, actual, meaningful, accomplishment. Nobody impeached. Nobody significant prosecuted. Nobody significant resigned. Even lying fraudsters Andrew Breitbart and James O'Keefe managed to get a resignation and a prosecution.

And besides, he's shown his true colors. What did Wikileaks do about the Panama Papers? Oh. What did Wikileaks do about Trump? Worked with his campaign.

Sorry man, Assange bonered himself. Worse than the time Sherlock Holmes got caught fucking the Hound of the Baskervilles.

Per the Associated Press, France's plan for pay equity is still a work in progress.

Clearly, the government knows better, how you should be running your business. Not only do they already know, the gap exists, they also know it must be eliminated — as well as exactly how to do it.

If only the cantankerous electorate stopped fighting the inevitable and simply allowed the government to run everything... Poverty, hunger, hate, and racism would've all disappeared, Global Warming stopped, and sex improved.

That's not a Trump problem, that's a media problem. More so that media are chasing that "always first" "always sweet-sweet ad revenue" and so on. Welcome to the shitshow that always-on 24hr news media has created, and welcome to the ever increasing irrelevance that the news media has helped create. It also doesn't help that there is very low public trust of the media in general, or that when people point out that they have indeed fucked up, engaged in unethical practices, or whatever else. The media's response is to screech "IT'S NOT US! IT'S YOU!" Queue this up with Journolist, Gamejournopros and so on all pushing narritives, talking points, and so on. Or media outlet's directly handing off their news stories to political parties to make sure that the "story narrative is correct."

Communism is both much deadlier and more socially-accepted than any other kind of hateful school of thought today.

Anything "fighting evil" that ignores images of Che Guevara and like symbols is simply partisan b.s.

Snopes, politifact and factcheck are all DNC shill sites.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/06...

Snopes' main political fact-checker is a writer named Kim Lacapria. Before writing for Snopes, Lacapria wrote for Inquisitr, a blog that - oddly enough - is known for publishing fake quotes and even downright hoaxes as much as anything else.

While at Inquisitr, the future "fact-checker" consistently displayed clear partisanship (RELATED: Snopes Caught Lying About Lack Of American Flags At Democratic Convention)

She described herself as "openly left-leaning" and a liberal. She trashed the Tea Party as "teahadists." She called Bill Clinton "one of our greatest" presidents. She claimed that conservatives only criticized Lena Dunham's comparison of voting to sex because they "fear female agency."

She once wrote: "Like many GOP ideas about the poor, the panic about using food stamps for alcohol, pornography or guns seems to have been cut from whole cloth-or more likely, the ideas many have about the fantasy of poverty." (A simple fact-check would show that food stamp fraud does occur and costs taxpayers tens of millions.)

Lacapria even accused the Bush administration of being "at least guilty of criminal negligience" in the September 11 attacks. (The future "fact-checker" offered no evidence to support her accusation.)

https://www.usnews.com/opinion...

Now comes a study from the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs that demonstrates empirically that PolitiFact.org, one of the nation's leading "fact checkers," finds that Republicans are dishonest in their claims three times as often as Democrats. "PolitiFact.com has rated Republican claims as false three times as often as Democratic claims during President Obama's second term," the Center said in a release, "despite controversies over Obama administration statements on Benghazi, the IRS and the AP."

http://www.freerepublic.com/fo...

If you look behind the scenes at these phony "fact check" sites, you find that they are funded by organizations with political biases. You must always ask yourself. Who is writing about this so-called "truth." Who funds the site and pays their expenses. What are the origins and history of the funders and who are they associated with. In the case of factcheck.org they receive their funding from the liberal Annenberg Foundation.

The Annenberg Foundation was originally founded by Walter J. Annenberg, a conservative who supported Ronald Reagan. However, when Walter Annenberg died, his family took over the management of the foundation and it took a turn to the far left and has ties to radical left individuals such as Bill Ayers and his friend and fellow left wing radical collegue Barack Obama. How is factcheck.org associated with these people:

To start, Ayers was the key founder of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was a Chicago public school reform project from 1995 to 2001. Upon its start in 1995, Obama was appointed Board Chairman and President of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Geesh, that alone connects all three. Well, it branches out even more from there.

Ayers co-chaired the organization's Collaborative, which set the education policies of the Challenge. Oddly enough, Obama was the one who was authorized to delegate to the Collaborative in regards to its programs and projects. In addition to that, Obama often times had to seek advice and assistance from the Ayer's led Collaborative in regards to the programmatic aspects of grant proposals. Ayers even sat on the same board as Obama as an "ex officio member". They both also sat together on

My point was all of a sudden Russia is implying that we are or we intend on messing with their elections. Yet they have no evidence of this but there is some evidence that they were influencing ours and tons of evidence that they are manipulating their own.

There is evidence in both cases, just not in the way you think. Every country screws with other countries. Hell the US was interfering in Canadian elections. Environmental groups in Canada were getting back-channel funds through US environmental groups who'd been sucking off the tit of the CFPB. Think there's a reason that even after the previous government left power that the CRA(akin to the IRS) is still investigating this? There's also serious problems in CFPB land with the person who was overseeing it funneling money.

So now they are gaslighting and acting like they are the victim.

Nearly every country is. Both Russia(and the former USSR), and the US, UK, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, NZ, and so on have all done this to some degree or another. I mean come on, we've even got the cold hard truth on this one. The Obama admin directly interfered in an Israeli election. We can go back even further to the collapse of the USSR if you want, and you'll easily find how Bill Clinton's government directly interfered in everything from politics to banking.

Nope, only some populations are genetically equipped for a vegetarian diet. For the rest, lack of meat causes brain shrinkage and mental disorders. And populations that originated from Europe tend to lack such genes -- and some, like the Inuit, are even more extreme.

That's vegetarian -- vegan diet is far more harmful. Especially for children, to the point of proposed bills that outlaw feeding children vegan.

The Total Fiscal Cost Of Illegal Immigration Is A Staggering $135 Billion, Report Says

Illegal immigrants and their children eat up $135 billion in public funds every year, according to a report that examines the fiscal impact of unauthorized immigration in the U.S.

The study, released Wednesday by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), is one of the most comprehensive analyses of the costs of illegal immigration to date. It concludes that illegal immigration is a “staggering and crippling” drain on the public treasury.

Governments at the federal, state and local levels spent a total of $134.86 billion on illegal aliens in 2016, according to FAIR estimates.

At the same time, tax contributions by illegal immigrants did not come close to offsetting expenditures. Governments at all levels collected just $18.97 billion in taxes from illegal aliens, meaning that illegal immigration was responsible for a net fiscal drain of $115.89 billion last year

Insulting the poster when you're clearly simply not understanding what is going on just shows you're not open to truth, just your vision and your narrative.

Uh no, actually, the current era began with an incident on

Well I didn't really want to go that far back, but if we really want to we can start with 60 minutes back in the 1970's. I'm sure you already know that one.

Oh, if you want to go there, then let's go back to your old friend in the Publishing business. Or even....a made up incident!

But hey, at least you aren't going to war because of jealousy.

Meanwhile, oops... you believed another hoax!

Man, that is a crazy conspiracy Mashiki, and you don't even have a reason to blame the... You know, you wouldn't sound so crazy if you didn't make up such hysterical bullshit, but stuck to facts. Actual provable events.

Not your foaming at the mouth hyperbole.

Guess that's why some schools in the UK have seen a 2800% increase in kids suddenly claiming to be trans right?

Oh no! BIG HUGE PERCENTAGES! C'mon, you lying bullshitter, you know when you make blind claims of 2800% you'd just making yourself an obvious joke. You might as well complain that Hogwarts has had an outbreak of Goblin Flu for all the legitimacy that your complaints have.

Not been paying attention at all? I guess not.

Oh, is this like the time you wanted me to believe Satanic Worship was going on? Spare me your hysteria! You know what your moral panic doesn't mention? That the parents mentioned NOTHING other than a name change, a longer hair-style and different clothes. THE HORRORS!

Here's a real problem. Or this one. Or this!

Nope, I'm a citizen of the United States, and you may not understand this, but I want healthcare EVERYWHERE in my country, and more to the point, there are some practical considerations that necessitate my ability to cross state lines to get healthcare, as the boundaries of states were not set according to population or economics

How do you think it works in Canada?

According to you, it's apparently a death trap.

You know the single payer system that the left loves in droves? Each province is responsible for the level of healthcare. The federal government has no input. The fact that you want some bureaucrat in Washington to decide if Atlanta gets a new hospital is sure telling.

I sure don't want the idiots in Georgia deciding I get access to a hospital or not. And to be honest, they're not so good at paving their own roads. Or managing their own elections. Or staying away from other people's water. They need adult supervision. Sorry, but it's true.

Everybody everywhere has rationed healthcare. That's because health care resources are not infinite or unlimited.

Except the part where healthcare is rationed because the government is unwilling to pay for it right?

Nope, not when it's the insur

Uh no, actually, the current era began with an incident on

That's a choice. Not a necessary element. If you don't like it, write your Prime Minister.

Again showing your ignorance. The PM has nothing to do with the state of healthcare in Canada, The premiers of each province do. On top of that, it is a necessary element otherwise you'd be as broke as someone in the US if you're a person who requires medications or specialized care. Why don't you go take a look at the green shield website and get an idea of how much you're gonna pay out, because many things aren't covered.

And what happens in the United States?

What's the difference between Canada and the US again? Right. You can't pay for your own healthcare in Canada at all, everyone get's in line and you just might die from waiting. Where as if you have money in most cases you can get that care.

Oh well, it's ok, I still remember you lying about

Can't figure out how that's related, but I've got a very good idea who you are now. I'll remind you, that it was the NDP that shut down the coal power plants and drove the price of electricity through the roof as well. And also required the utilities to build more transmission towers to cover cities that were suddenly off the grid. There's no lie in that.

I do like how you're so scared to stick your name behind what you're saying though. Such convincing truths after all.

Which is why they all colluded with the DNC right? CNN politico washington post donna brazille handing debate questions to the clinton camp before a debate and on, and on and on and on.

Call me back when any of those networks gets caught colluding with the DNC

CNN politico Washington Post. That's all from the 2016 election cycle, they all colluded. So did all those other networks I listed, you can find them all right in the DNC email leaks. There's dozens on top of dozens of stories on major networks getting caught sending stories to the DNC to make sure the narrative was correct, directly publishing articles from the DNC. Hell Donna Brazille was caught giving the Clinton camp debate questions before the debate from CNN. You get that? They all colluded.

Or better yet, don't call me at all you nazi.

And the current state of the political left rears it's head. Anyone who dares to question the narrative = nazi. You truly are pathetic people.

Citation. This is why Net Neutrality is a non-starter. If we want Americans to care about these kinds of 'freedom' issues we need to take care of their economic problems first.

I'd like us to start with Single Payer health care so we can compete effectively with first world nations that already have it (Canada I'm looking at you) and end medical bankruptcy. From there how about making public University Tuition free of charge and fixing our infrastructure with the money we'd save by not sending their sons and daughters off to war.

What I'm saying is, if we don't have real policy that helps these people they're going to keep turning to populists who promise them those policies. Guys like Trump. And those guys are never going to be friends of Net Neutrality and the like.

The NK missile launch last week occurred with NO warning. They were able to fuel and prepare the missile for launch without detection.

That is incorrect. I read a news report out of Tokyo that NK appeared to be preparing for a ballistic missile test about 6 hours before the launch occurred. (Quick Googling find one such source here)

That's not to say that a surprise launch cannot occur, just that we have so far managed to detect them in advance.

STUDY: Satellites Show No Acceleration In Global Warming For 23 Years

Global warming has not accelerated temperature rise in the bulk atmosphere in more than two decades, according to a new study funded by the Department of Energy.

University of Alabama-Huntsville climate scientists John Christy and Richard McNider found that by removing the climate effects of volcanic eruptions early on in the satellite temperature record it showed virtually no change in the rate of warming since the early 1990s.

"We indicated 23 years ago â" in our 1994 Nature article â" that climate models had the atmosphereâ(TM)s sensitivity to CO2 much too high," Christy said in a statement. "This recent paper bolsters that conclusion."

Christy and McNider found the rate of warming has been 0.096 degrees Celsius per decade after "the removal of volcanic cooling in the early part of the record,â"which "is essentially the same value we determined in 1994 ⦠using only 15 years of data."

Whodathunkit

No global warming to speak of for 23 years

Hmmmm

No. They're all white men.

Actually it doesn't apply to white guys at all, regardless of age. Even suggesting diversity could ever positively involve a white male will get you fired.

Don't forget Meg Lanker-Simons from Wyoming (now in Washington, runs a Tumblr shithole called "cognitive dissonance" and is somehow managing to attend law school after the hoax) who hoaxed a "hate-fuck" message against herself: "I want to hatefuck Meg Lanker Simons so hard. That chick runs her liberal mouth all the time and doesn't care who knows it. I think its so hot and makes me angry. One night with me and shes gonna be a good Republican bitch."

Most of the right-wing hate is left-wingers hoaxing right-wing hate so they can claim right-wing hate exists. I have yet to see evidence that the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally was a "white nationalist" event at all; it seems some white nationalists chose independently to attend it and that's all it took. I saw photos of the KKK rally a week prior touted on social media as photos from "Unite the Right" and as "proof" that it was a white nationalist event. Same shit with the recent flood of sexual harassment accusations: innocent until proven guilty, end of story...plus several of them have highly suspicious timing and the Roy Moore stuff in particular is not only during a special election but also originated from a woman who is actively working for the campaign that's running against him. What a goddamn surprise.

When a skeptical mind capable of critical thought is applied to most of these modern events, one quickly realizes that most of what is going on is total bullshit. We must assume everything told to us is false without strong evidence to support the accusations being leveled.

the time where a college degree _guaranteed_ a job has been over for at least a decade

part of the problem a lot of joung people face is massive college debt and the inability to find a job as anything other then a barrista

when you have facts that say only 15% of college grads in 2015had jobs...

well then going into massive debt to get a degree becomes something that can destroy your economic situation for the next couple of decades.

Empirical Data Exposes the Truth

Thirty years of Fail

"Prince Charles famously warned in July 2009 that humanity had only 96 months to save the world from “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it.” That deadline has passed, and the prince has not issued an update to when the world needs to be saved."

"World leaders meeting at the Vatican issued a statement saying that 2015 was the “last effective opportunity to negotiate arrangements that keep human-induced warming below 2-degrees [Celsius].”

"When Laurent Fabius met with Secretary of State John Kerry on May 13, 2014 to talk about world issues he said “we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos.”

"National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center head James Hansen warned in 2009 that Obama only “has four years to save Earth.”

"World leaders met in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009 to potentially hash out another climate treaty. That same year, the head of Canada’s Green Party wrote that there was only “hours” left to stop global warming."

"The year 2009 was a bad time for global warming predictions. That year Brown warned there was only “50 days to save the world from global warming,” the BBC reported. According to Brown there was “no plan B.”

"Environmentalist write George Monbiot wrote in the UK Guardian that within “as little as 10 years, the world will be faced with a choice: arable farming either continues to feed the world’s animals or it continues to feed the world’s people. It cannot do both.”

About 930 million people around the world were undernourished in 2002, according to U.N. data. By 2014, that number shrank to 805 million. Sorry, Monbiot."

Yes, and the push towards it is coming from the Left wing and Academia. Trump is a push back against it.

You have to explain this to progressives. Trump was elected for two things: Gutting the piss out of the republican party(aka neocons and RINO's out), by people on the left, center and right. And pushing back against the bullshit they've been pushing for 35 years, which has grown far worse in the last 20 years. Democrats on the other hand just voted in a new leader who's pushing more of the same(Obama/Clinton) identity politics rationals. I'll also remind democrats/progressives that during the lead-up for the race, you had open racists proclaiming that their job was to "shut white people down" as part of their reasoning to be elected for leadership.

And if you are a progressive and think that you guys aren't causing problems in society or academia? You only need to look to Canada, where a TA was put through circus because she dared to show neutrality and both sides of an argument in class. That's the bullshit academia is pushing and it's that same post-modernist garbage that's used to label someone a "nazi" or "literally hitler" for wrong-think. You can listen to the entire circus here if you want. It's very much worth the listen to.

Oh, you mean THAT Project Veritas run by O'Keefe who was caught heavily editing videos and taking them completely out of context

You do know that they posted in the fully unedited videos right? They're actually worse when you watch the entire thing in full. So much so that the FBI is now looking into investigating planned parenthood.

Show me one single story on CNN

That's not hard.

That's an outright fabrication, by stating "you can't download the dnc emails." CNN never retracted it. The entire point of it was to stop people from looking by making them fear that they'd be prosecuted.

You can put that "New York Times was not reporting false news or outright lies" idea to bed because they absolutely do. Why don't you hear about this all the time? It's huge news when they do it, and they do it often.

Last year, 35% of colleges saw international student numbers go up, 26% saw no change, and 39% saw them go down. New York Times publishes this with the headline "Amid Trump Effect Fear, 40% of Colleges See Dip in Foreign Applicants"

Glenn Thrush, the former senior staff writer at Politico who found himself in hot water when a WikiLeaks dump in October revealed that he ran an article by Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta prior to publishing, thought the Georgia results were lackluster. Thrush is now a political correspondent for The New York Times.

The New York Times Misquoted Trump's Charlottesville Remarks In Five Different Reports

A New York Times reporter called Melania a hooker and they wouldn't even release the name of the reporter that said it, let alone fire her.

"Without your help," a beaming Fidel Castro said while nodding at Herbert Matthews during a visit to The New York Times's offices in April 1959, almost exactly a year after he'd visited Marquez-Sterling, "and without the help of the New York Times, the revolution in Cuba would never have been."

Quality of life in Germany remains high. Base energy cost is comparable to the rest of western Europe, including France, it's just the tax that makes it more expensive to consumers.

Germans and French people pay more way more than Americans for energy

http://dailycaller.com/2016/05...

And German CO2 emissions are still rising, not falling

https://www.cleanenergywire.or...

German energy-related COâ emissions rose almost 1 percent in 2016, despite a fall in coal use and the ongoing expansion of renewable energy sources, according to first estimates by energy market research group AG Energiebilanzen.

Meanwhile US CO2 emissions are falling

https://www.forbes.com/sites/r...

Last week, in an interview with Fox News, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt claimed: "We are leading the nation - excuse me - the world with respect to our CO2 footprint in reductions."

The Washington Post fact-checked this claim and rated it "Three Pinocchios," which means they rate the claim mostly false. They further wrote that Pruitt's usage of data appeared to be a "deliberate effort to mislead the public."

I agree that this is a nuanced issue, but the data mostly support Pruitt's claim.

According to the 2017 BP Statistical Review of World Energy, since 2005 annual U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have declined by 758 million metric tons. That is by far the largest decline of any country in the world over that timespan and is nearly as large as the 770 million metric ton decline for the entire European Union.

By comparison, the second largest decline during that period was registered by the United Kingdom, which reported a 170 million metric ton decline. At the same time, China's carbon dioxide emissions grew by 3 billion metric tons, and India's grew by 1 billion metric tons.

It's interesting they mention the UK. The UK's CO2 emissions fell during the 'dash to gas'. Newly privatised electricity companies switched from coal to cheaper gas powered stations. And those gas powered stations emitted less CO2 per MW generated

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I.e. if you want cheap power and falling CO2 emissions privatise and deregulate. If you want expensive power and flat or rising CO2 emissions, go the German route.

The DNC literally rigged a national primary election to get the result they wanted. Hillary Clinton took millions of dollars in foreign donations for her campaign. Hillary's campaign colluded with multiple media outlets, telling which stories to run, when, and getting editorial control. Obama administration was literally wiretapping Trump's campaign manager DURING the election. But we go batshit crazy over $100k of facebook ads? Really?

So all it took was 3,000 Facebook ads to swing the elections, who would have thought the Russians was this great at propaganda. $100,000 to defeat Hillary Clinton's $1,200,000,000.

The weekend after Trumpâ(TM)s election, thousands of people attended a left-wing anti-Trump protest in New York City that was secretly organized by Russian operatives, ads released by the House Intelligence Committee revealed. More than 16,000 people RSVPâ(TM)d on Facebook for the protest, which was titled: âoeTrump is NOT my President. March against Trump.â âoeJoin us in the streets! Stop Trump and his bigoted agenda!â a Facebook event for the protest read. The Guardian reported that 10,000 people showed up at the anti-Trump protest. Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore was among those duped into joining the Russian protest.

If that is so then you should recognize China first. China's CO2 emissions are several times that of the United States. China where they plan to build 700 new coal plants in the next few years.

Then you have India who's carbon emissions grew by 5% in 2015. In fact a 2016 report by the EIa shows that 68% of the worlds CO2 emissions will come from third world countries, and will largely be driven by China and India.

That's interesting, because it would seem to mitigate one of the problems with the hyperloop concept. Namely, if the tunnel ruptures, there's a fast-moving wall of air rushing at anyone inside the tunnel.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/07...

If the tube is in a tunnel, there would be much less air available to create such a pressure wave. Or if it's bored through rock there would be almost no air at all inside the tunnel but outside the tube. I think this would mean there would be, at worst, a much less severe pressure wave followed by a more gradual repressurization. Am I wrong?

Germany is a good example. I have more.

I find the corn ethanol mandates exceedingly frustrating. That's food we are burning while people need to eat. Not only that I'll read about farmers buying this "brewer's grain" (the stuff left over from turning corn into ethanol) and feeding it to cattle. The problem is that while this grain has protein and minerals it doesn't have enough calories. What do the farmers do then? They buy up discarded corn syrup laden candy and mix it with the grain. Here's an idea, how about we give the corn to the cattle and send the candy to the ethanol producers? We can't do that though because using discarded candy to make ethanol isn't "green" enough, or some shit.

I know people complain that feeding corn to cattle is "unnatural" or something. Well, is feeding cattle brewer's grain mixed with expired Hershey bars somehow "better"? It must be because the laws that the "environmentalists" got passed made this happen.

To those that think we should not eat meat I'll say this, fuck you. If you want to talk about eating "naturally" then what's more natural than going out hunting for wild deer? People have been eating meat for a very long time. Domesticating animals might be recent on the grand scheme of things be we need meat in our diet to be healthy and to hunt for population control. What's wrong with going out to hunt a deer? Or a wild pig? Or hunt a bear? Speaking of which, hunting bans on polar bears has created a polar bear over population problem.
http://dailycaller.com/2017/10...

Hmm, yes. We know Hillary only hired the violent kind.

Google can manipulate the balance of political speech in a whole variety of ways

1) They can demonetize content they dislike, which will lead to people producing less of it

2) They can delete the video, or the whole channel.

3) They can take it blacklist individual videos or whole channels to stop them trending.

4) They can can make it impossible to search for videos or channels, or to comment on them

https://www.engadget.com/2017/...

All of which enables them to promote memes that agree with their politics and hide ones that disagree with their politics.

Given that Google/FB etc employ mostly young people in blue states it's fair to assume that the politics their employees agree with will be heavily left of centre. And we know they fired James Damore for essentially criticizing Google's left wing echo chamber.

As someone here puts it

http://dailycaller.com/2017/08...

"By these standards, if YouTube existed previous to the Emancipation Act, they'd be censoring videos criticizing slave owners, since being anti-slavery wasn't popular ... at all," he added. "The popular opinion isn't always the right opinion."

Funnily enough the Democrats would have objected to people who were anti slavery then and are also the ones censoring political speech now via the likes of YouTube and FB where they are the majority of employees. In fact both slavery then and illegal immigration now are a way to get a load of cheap, biddable labour that isn't able to organize itself and demand better conditions.

A lot of the 'extremists' Youtube is trying to silence are simply people pointing stuff like that out. Meanwhile memes that Democrats approve of - Jimmy Kimmel crying and demanding more government intervention - nationalising health care or banning guns, 'Hands Up Don't Shoot', and the notion that anyone who opposes open borders migration is a bigot are promoted all over the media.

Facebook admitted to promoting pro-Hillary and suppressing pro-Trump stories/outlets. Where is the investigation and media attention for that?

Comey admits to leaking classified information, gets a sweet book deal. Reality winner leaks classified information, sits in jail denied bond.

The DNC siphoned $60 million from down-ballot elections into Hillary's campaign to fight Sanders, which would appear to be a violation of FEC rules on its face(*).

Susan Rice unmasked wiretaps of Trump and advisors without a warrant, which was then leaked to the press.

Bill Clinton had an "on the tarmac" meeting with then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch while Lynch was investigating the E-mail scandal.

Hillary got $11,000,000 from the King of Morocco in return for a special-access meeting with the (then) Secretary of State.

Consider how much time and effort and taxpayer money has been spent on investigation Trump's Russia connection - and they're now looking at $50,000 of *ads* taken out by people from Russia. Compared to the amount Hillary spent? Or Trump spent?

I live in hope that some day our administration will grow some balls and start prosecuting people for blatant corruption - even though it may look on the surface like political reprisals against the losers.

(*) FEC puts a limit on the amount any individual can donate to a candidate. Many donors gave the maximum to Hillary, and donated more to down-ballot candidates. Moving down-ballot money to Hillary's campaign is likely violating the "maximum donation" rule.

Sorry, do the political opinions people have now justify violence against them? If that's a moral line we are crossing, do you have any idea the amount of damage that will cause? Do you think it will lend legitimacy to any idea, if you believe that violence against people who hold ideas you find unattractive, is allowed?

Facebook's discrimination against anyone that isn't progressive or liberal is very well documented. Unfortunately this is an issue as they have a monopoly on social media the likes of which the world has never seen. This gives them the ability to manipulate public discussion and discord that is the envy of many nation states. An example of Facebook abusing their monopoly is their attempts to redefine the truth using progressive political activists as fact checkers.

People are waking up and realizing that the facebook ministry of truth is more focused on propaganda than facts. It hasn't even been a year and their fact checking efforts are having only a very slight difference or even backfiring.

https://www.theatlantic.com/te...

However, Facebook will unquestionably learn to be more subtle in their political manipulations in the future. When you privatize the public square you also effectively privatize constitutional rights. Should facebook be broken up or regulated? Their position, power and propensity to abuse their power has created a threat to our democracy.

Just like the NY Times does to Trump?

The New York Times Misquoted Trump’s Charlottesville Remarks In Five Different Reports

You did notice, I hope that the article you link is pointing out that the New York Times corrected its errors.

That's how you tell real journalism from fake news: the honest sources correct their mistakes when they make an error.

I'll also note that the corrections were pretty trivial:

  “Correction: August 22, 2017 An earlier version of this article misquoted President Trump. He said there were ‘very fine people on both sides’ of the deadly melee in Charlottesville, Va., not ‘the good people on both sides.'”

I'm happy that they corrected this to what he actually said, but whether he used the phrase "good people" or "very fine people" doesn't really make any difference to the sense of the quote.

"We could, obviously, destroy North Korea with our arsenals, but aside from the humanitarian costs of that, they are right next door to our vital ally, [South] Korea."

Funny. His actual quote is explaining why we weren't going to do anything of the sort, while the headline misquotes him to make it sound like a threat.

Just like the NY Times does to Trump?

No one is replacing old nuclear power plants with coal.

Germany has done just that.
https://carboncounter.wordpres...

France too.
http://instituteforenergyresea...

Sadly, so is the USA.
https://instituteforenergyrese...
https://www.vox.com/energy-and...

Or maybe the USA is replacing nuclear with natural gas.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/j...

Japan is almost famous for replacing nuclear with coal
https://www.equaltimes.org/jap...

In the UK natural gas is replacing coal and nuclear.
https://arstechnica.com/scienc...

I just realized I covered 5 of the "Group of Seven" so let's finish this out and see what Canada and Italy are doing.

Turns out Italy shut down their nuclear a long time ago and relies largely on natural gas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Looks like Canada is neither closing or building new nuclear, demand growth has been met with natural gas and hydro.
https://www.vice.com/en_ca/art...

Also in the above article is mention of Russia, China, and South Korea. More about that here:
http://www.world-nuclear.org/i...

So, let's review. France, Germany, Japan, and USA have all built significant numbers of coal plants in the past few years to meet growing demand and to make up for retired nuclear. Canada, UK, USA, and Italy rely heavily on natural gas and are building more capacity, while this might not be replacing nuclear it is another fossil fuel being used instead of wind and solar. China, Russia, and South Korea are actually making significant investments in nuclear to replace fossil fuels, which is still consistent with my claim that one must choose nuclear, fossil fuels, or lights going out.

Why do you write such nonsense? Fukushima Daishi had ordinary emergency power generators, like every plant. They did not rely on external power. However, perhaps that escaped you, the emergency power generators got flooded. And for some dumb reason no one came to the idea to helicopter a few military units in.

That's just so much nonsense in one paragraph it's hard to even come up with a reply. Do you really think that no one thought to helicopter in some generators?

In your country? All other countries that introduced wind and solar show that they are very reliabel and cost effective.

Oh, you mean like how last year the German government paid wind energy producers to sit idle to prevent damage to the electrical grid?
http://dailycaller.com/2016/04...

That doesn't sound very reliable or cost effective. Seriously, do some research before you post. You are looking like a fool.
