In January, the city filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against Purdue Pharma alleging the drug maker "supplied OxyContin to obviously suspicious physicians and pharmacies," ultimately failing "to prevent the illegal diversion of OxyContin into the black market." While other suits against the company by states and municipalities have accused Purdue Pharma of deceptive marketing â" allegedly playing up OxyContin's effectiveness while playing down its addictiveness â" Everett's lawsuit is the first to claim the company knew its drugs were being diverted and did nothing to stop it.

We already have the walk-in Euthanasia clinics. It's called the Medical Industry. Just keep visiting all sorts of doctors and have scans etc. eventually they'll mess something up, or pretend you have cancer so they can drug you and train some students on the latest butcher 2000 robot operating experiment and if that or your nurse doesn't kill you, they'll send you to the hospice to do it.

Say what you will about lawsuits in America but they sure do work great for cases like this.

US lawsuits sort of one-third-work, when they work. Lawyers benefit, and complainants benefit of the remainder after the lawyer's take their cut if they manage to defeat the system, which certainly isn't a given. There's also no guarantee that any images awarded or recompense offered will be in the range of appropriate, as this US case shows.

Even if a large award (or any award) is given, it rarely affects the agency at fault in any way. All such awards come out of the taxpayer's pocket. The policeman's salary is not affected in the slightest, nor the judges, nor the prosecutor's.

Because of this, there's little to no corrective value to a lawsuit.

Same thing for the next level up, legislation. When legislators write laws that break things and/or are wrongful, they aren't held to account for it. Whereas if you break a law, the gears of (in)justice are quite capable of, and very likely will, grind you into unrecognizable mush. Job, family, friends, savings, reputation... everything.

It's nice to hold power; it's even nicer when you're above consequences for your actions. Welcome to America, land of the oligarchy.

PG&E? Aren't they getting their electricity from space sine 2016?

Yeah, I was just going to say, if the F.B.I., for instance, had a FISA court order of some sort for a surveillance, would that be information you would know or not know?
JAMES CLAPPER:
Yes.
CHUCK TODD:
You would be told this?
JAMES CLAPPER:
I would know that.
CHUCK TODD:
If there was a FISA court order--
JAMES CLAPPER:
Yes.
CHUCK TODD:
--on something like this.
JAMES CLAPPER:
Something like this, absolutely.
CHUCK TODD:
And at this point, you can't confirm or deny whether that exists?
JAMES CLAPPER:
I can deny it.
CHUCK TODD:
There is no FISA court order?
JAMES CLAPPER:
Not-- not to know my knowledge.
CHUCK TODD:
Of anything at Trump Tower?
JAMES CLAPPER:
No.
CHUCK TODD:
Well, that's an important revelation at this point. Let me ask you this. Does intelligence exist that can definitively answer the following question, whether there were improper contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials?
JAMES CLAPPER:
We did not include any evidence in our report, and I say, "our," that's N.S.A., F.B.I. and C.I.A., with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report.
CHUCK TODD:
I understand that. But does it exist?
JAMES CLAPPER:
Not to my knowledge.

Ah, another conservative rant, devoid of reality, devoid of substance, and contrary to what actually happened, which is very popular with the lie-telling set.

In reality, Davis was recalled because of his mishandling of the power crisis, which was consistently and repetitively blamed on liberals, leftists, and environmentalists, but turned out to be the machinations of a company in Houston, Texas. They're the ones who profited off inflicting chaos in California.

Of course, even despite this unearned victory, the Republicans spent the next few years frittering away in California, which was pretty bad for them once the Citizens decided they'd take control of the redistricting process, and crippling when the non-partisan jungle primary was implemented.

But now, you continue to lie about the driver's licenses letting illegals vote, you foment corrupt campaign contributions yourself, and freak out over law protecting victims of sex trafficing, by acting as if it legalized child prostitution.

I'm sorry s.petry, but you shouldn't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

But gosh, I'm sure you know all this, you're just too afraid to say it.

Remember Obama had a Democratic House and Senate from 2008-1010.

The 111th Congress was from 2009 through 2010 with 59 Democrats and 42 Republicans. However, with the Republicans in full obstruction mode, most legislation required 60 votes. So the Democrats had to negotiate with the Republicans to get the stimulus bill passed, agreeing to a smaller dollar amount when it should have been two to three times larger. The bill passed the Senate with 61 to 36 votes.

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/29106540/ns/politics-capitol_hill/t/economic-stimulus-bill-passes-senate-hurdle/

On a related note, the 115th Congress today has 52 Republicans and 48 Democrats. Assuming that the Republicans don't eliminate the filibuster, and Democrats are in full obstruction mode, the Senate Republicans will have to negotiate with the Democrats to get any legislation passed with 60 votes. If Trump wants any of his policies passed in Congress, he will need to play nice with the Democrats just as Obama had to play nice with the Republicans. What goes around comes around.

Already been confirmed as fake news. Look where it is coming from. His residency has already been extended to the year 2020. And spokespeople for Russia have already stated "Nonsense"

I actually rather enjoy getting some checks mixed in with the all the bills that arrive there.

That said, not that many people do mail the old-fashioned way any more. The people's government should work and communicate in the method most convenient for the people.

You are right that we have a long history of people crying wolf. As part of a course on the policy and ethical implications of AI, I am teaching the history of Luddite reactions from the printing press to the more recent robotic "revolution". Even recently with ATMs, there was a prediction of fewer branches and tellers which did not happen. So we're good right? Well...

Unfortunately, there is one thing that should stand out as being potentially different this time -- in previous instances of the Chicken Little scenarios, it was those who were worried about being displaced that were sounding the alarm, not those creating the technology. This time, it's the other way around. The vast majority of AI researchers, particularly in the private sector, are bullish on the elimination of most blue-collar and service jobs (even management and hedge fund investors are not safe) in the not too distant future. And if you have doubts, we have ample room to believe that the changes are not 50 years away:

• Manufacturing jobs are finally returning to North America...for robots
• Chinese factory replaces 90% of human workers with robots. Production rises by 250%, defects drop by 80%
• BBC News: Foxconn replaces '60,000 factory workers with robots'
• Attention all humans of Shanghai! Robo chefs will now whip you up a bowl of ramen in 90 seconds flat
• Japanese white-collar workers are already being replaced by artificial intelligence
• Mining 24 Hours a Day with Robots
• China Has Launched the Robocops You Have Been Waiting For
• Robots are already replacing fast-food workers Trump’s pick for labor chief, the CEO of Hardee's and Carl’s Jr., likes the idea.
• Inside Silicon Valley’s Robot Pizzeria
• Fmr. McDonald's USA CEO: $35K Robots Cheaper Than Hiring at $15 Per Hour

I too live in silicon valley and work at a tech company. When I interview people most of the candidates I see are Indian and some of the best engineers I've worked with are Indian. While I myself am not, I have a lot of respect for many of those engineers. Hell, we don't care what ethnicity you are as long as you're good at what you do. And no, we don't look for the cheapest engineers but are picky about wanting good engineers. We ask programming problems that I don't consider all that difficult but it's surprising how many people fall down. It all comes down to skills.

In India they really value education unlike vast areas of this country. In 2012-2013 57% of students with doctoral degrees in engineering were international students. 53% of doctoral degrees in CIS and 50% of degrees in mathematics. Is it any wonder why native-born Americans are in the minority?

The problem is that too many Americans are lazy. I say this as someone whose family goes back over 10 generations in this country and 4 generations in California. In India you have a billion people who tend to value education more so than Americans, and they'll work damned hard to better their lives and get ahead. They're not coddled as children. Their parents work hard to make sure their kids succeed, and their culture puts a bigger emphasis on education and learning than ours does.

Move the goalposts much? The original AC comment said "Hillary supporters", not Democrats. (It is odd, though, that these supposedly anti-capitalist anarchists mostly sat out the last eight years in the US.) Similarly, non-US protests are essentially outside both that AC's claim and your counter-claim that numbers were "about three-to-one the other way". You seem to have conceded that violence is, in fact, mostly being perpetrated by Clinton supporters -- except when you're throwing out conspiracy theories that police instigated the violence.

Oh, put words in my mouth why don't you? Are you claiming the Hillary supporters are not democrats? Seems they would be a subset by definition. Now, I did not call them anti-capatlist anarchists. I do not even know where you got the anti-capitalist from. But it was the cop who called them anarchists not me. As to where have they been? Haven't you kept your eyes open later? Some of the black lives matter people (of course black lives matter, all lives matter) have been even assassinating cops indiscriminately. I have conceded nothing and while I am not a Hillary supporter I have no reason to attack them either and I doubt many of them are violent (most people, most places are not violent). Although I am happy to denigrate Hillary and the democratic party for what they did to Bernie. They deserved to lose.

An emolument is compensation for employment or holding an office. Which foreign royalty or state is paying Donald Trump a salary? You are spouting talking points that you clearly do not understand -- mentioning a hotel without specifying which one, citing supposed terms of a lease without identifying that lease, and throwing around the phrase "emolument law" as if that means anything specific. The only thing you've proven is that you cannot write coherently.

Oh, come on! Emoluments do not have to come from overseas. As for details http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us.... First link on a search for "trump hotel lease"

I can not write coherently? Perhaps you have to be able to think coherently to see it. I am sure everyone else can. Talk to a non-partisan lawyer.

Anyway I am done with you. Reason is not your forte. And I am fed up with reiterating stuff. Bye

They are using human cells because they want to be able to grow a human kidney, lung, heart, pancreas, etc. and transplant them into people that need them.

But there's already plenty of progress with doing that with human stem cells. There's no need to make pig-human hybrids (other than for publicity and publishing papers).

Basically there are plenty of other technologies which are actually closer to real-world solutions than this "hybrid" stuff. And this hybrid stuff has lots more ethical and legal issues.

So the disadvantages of making such hybrids outweigh the benefits.

Btw, Trump won the primary 1500 delegates to 500, how can you even remotely say that "a majority of Republican voters voted against him during the primaries".

Trump won by default by getting the most votes in a crowded field. He got less than 50% of the vote in most primary elections. He didn't reach 50% until the end.

Now, if you want to discuss how super-delegates allowed HRC to steal the primary to Bernie, I'm all there for you, brother.

Super delegates has been a standard feature of Democratic conventions since 1968. After Super Tuesday, Bernie needed to win every election with 60% of the vote to win the nomination. He repeatedly failed to get those votes. If super delegates weren't considered towards the nomination, he still wouldn't have enough votes to win.

The only untruth I see here, is your attempt to redefine lying to mean being wrong or naive.

O'rly? Either you're incredibly ignorant of the events, or you're a shill. In either case, it's not worth debating with you about it.

OK, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are genuinely ignorant and not just trying to be a troll. You do know that the US is a net exporter of oil right... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The war in Afghanistan was because a few monsters over there murdered 3000 US civilians, and the ruling body in Afghanistan sided with those monsters, so we killed them. You remember that right? There is/was no oil in Afghanistan...

The war in Iraq happened because Saddam Hussein had a huge stockpile of chemical weapons (previously well documented in the 80s and previously used on the Kurds in 1988 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared... ) and had Uranium (550 tons http://www.nbcnews.com/id/2554...), was trying to buy more and refine it (we found the centrifuges buried in a civilian district of Baghdad http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/... ) and he kicked the IAEA/weapons inspectors out of Iraq. He thought we would blink because we were already involved in Afghanistan, but we didn't and that was what triggered the Iraq war.

We didn't take over any Iraq oil fields and we don't import it. We spent $2,000B on the Iraq war http://www.reuters.com/article... while the Iraq oil production is worth a piddling $25B/year. http://www.theglobalist.com/ir... If you think the Iraq war was about oil or for profit, you are either ignorant or a moron or both.

We need the US war machine so that the Russians and/or the Chinese (or Iran for that mater), don't try to subjugate the rest of the world. I suspect under Trump, a lot of other modern countries who have been getting a free ride as far as protection via the US military will start shouldering their fair share of expenses, so we may well have more cash, but that will probably go to actually building things like power plants, transmission lines, roads and airports, rather than more "green jobs." We already tried that under BHO and we got Solyndra. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Obama is a hard core neoliberal neocon freakshow. This is the guy that bombed more countries than Bush, make the Patriot Act look like the Magna Carta by repealing Habeas Corpus with an NDAA, and started a war in Libya without Congressional authorization. Which his own VP said he would have supported Bush's impeachment if he had done the same thing with Iran.

For not being progressive, well, here you go.

You mean after he tortured Manning for a year with solitary confinement, and committed unlawful command influence by declaring Manning guilty before a conviction - and promoted the judge during the trial. But now, after seven years in prison, with consistent humiliation (and a little torture mixed in) is he not merciful?

Well, apparently the President Elect of the USA believes the anti-vaccination idea, so...soon it will move on from "fear and doubt" into "official policy".

The rules have been in place for a couple hundred years now, they were accepted by all who played, and only after losing are you throwing a hissy fit. moveon.org

Actually, DaHat, no matter how much you want to pretend otherwise, there are plenty of people who objected to the Electoral College BEFORE this election.

Efforts like the NPVIC wouldn't exist if they didn't. The grievances are long-standing, and the faults are on-record as being detailed.

It's not about this election, because whether or not you believe it, there are people whose acceptance of the current US election system is very reluctant at best, more of a tacit resignation, and to be honest, it's really the Trumpster who changed. Last time he was calling for revolution.

Now, well, he's likely to incite one. He is quite stupid. Ignorant and willful, intent on being an ass. And why not? Nobody has slapped him down yet. They will now though. If he's lucky, it'll only be to bring him under control. If not, he'll be broken.

Still, you don't need to be an ignorant ass yourself. You've had a number of decades to wise up to the farce that is the electoral college, to stand up against it, before it goes completely kerplotz. So you have only yourselftobla.me youwere.warn.ed

Hillary supports widened gun control, do you doubt her word for it?

How could you have any guns left after Obama took them all? Oh wait....

AsHornWumpus put it, thank dog, the president doesn't have the power to unilaterally do whatever he wants, and was instead blocked from taking guns as he wanted to by congress who passes actual legislation. Though he did cry on TV because he couldn't stop extremely rare instences of violence that would happen with or without guns.

No, he advocated for an immigration registry to help with the immigration vetting process. The "Muslim Registry" was part of that fake news that people seem to think helped Trump win the election.

Actually Trump did advocate for a muslim registry. Here are quotes of him saying exactly that: http://www.nbcnews.com/politic...

compared to this. This is why Trump one. He (or his handlers) are a master to misdirecting folks from real scandals to fake ones. He did it all campaign long. His media and information control skills are terrifying. It's like Karl Rove 2.0.

No one knows if Trump is successful, he's mostly successful at getting his name attached to things. Lots of his projects have ended in spectacular failures, and far more in lawsuits. Of his many failures, there is a common pattern of mismanagement, corruption, and underhanded business tactics. Witholding payment is also something he is known for.

Border security is thinly disguised racism. Vetting of refugees is one of these things like voter fraud that exists only in the minds of those prepared to believe it. Of the nearly 1M immigrants last year, we can probably estimate about 2% to be Muslim, or Middle Eastern, whichever of those groups you feel like discriminating against. 13k Pakistanis versus the overall population of 318 million. I am sure that represents an existential threat to the US, yessiree. Trump has no plan to do most of what you have said, and in many cases he cannot do anything of the sort. Ditching NAFTA and NATO would be next to impossible, and the rationale for them is what, that they're common bogeymen for anti-globalists? I'm not even all that opposed to ending American hegemony over the globe, but shredding treaties is probably not an option, probably a bad way to attempt to do that, and it leaves a ton of issues unsolved. What do we do with our overseas bases? What are we going to do with all the troops we bring back? And why exactly do we want to knowingly weaken our ability to project force against potential enemies?

Fuck Hillary, we weren't talking about her. We were talking about how Trump denies having said things that he himself recorded on video, as the tip of the iceberg. He spent the last year disavowing every position he has ever held, and the last month running away from the extremist positions that he campaigned on. You can't even argue whether he is a liar, you have to deflect with a "tu quoque" jab. The fact is, that he has gained the approval of 25% of the electorate population by promising them things which he cannot deliver and for which he has no plans to deliver.

Trump is unarguably the least qualified President-elect in history. If the Electoral College does not reject him they will have failed of their duty.

Thanks Trump!

Don't forget Bush! Obama inherited DEA from his predecessor, didn't he? 8 years of Presidency is not enough to fix a federal law-enforcement agency, especially if you pick Attorney Generals for their Social Justice credentials, rather than the ability to run a sizeable organization. (An ability, Obama himself never had either.)

And, unlike closing Guantanamo, Obama never even promised to reign-in the Drug Enforcement Administration — so we can't hold him responsible for its abuses, can we?

You're missing the point. The mechanical possibility that the car can lock someone in is a safety hazard. Sure, it's great when it locks a car thief in on purpose, not so great if it locks someone in accidentally on a hot day or if the car has been in an accident (especially if it's on fire).

It's not a theoretical matter, people have died that way.

The "feature" has already caused at least one death.

That's from a 1997 BMW. Any more data points, detective? According to you, these locks should be causing accidental deaths all of the time.... but, they're not.

The "feature" has already caused at least one death.

Last week, a burglar pried apart some security bars at my business and squeezed in. He was able to make off with some stolen goods because once inside, he was easily able to open the locked exit door. Fire codes require that all building exit doors accessible to the public be openable from the inside even when locked. These laws were made after repeated fires with huge death tolls exacerbated by locked exit doors. That's what the bar on the door you press when leaving most restaurants and stores does. Even when the door is locked, pushing the bar from the inside will open the door. That way if a fire breaks out, you're not trapped inside because the only person who has the key was the idiot who started the fire and is dead.

Same thing with refrigerators - both the old stand-up units which latched shut, and walk-in refrigerator/freezers used in restaurants. Too many people (especially kids playing) were dying after being trapped inside, that laws were passed requiring a mechanism which allows someone inside to open the latch on the outside.

I don't see why cars should be any different. Yes easy egress makes thievery easier. But preventing that is just not worth the potential loss of life. Any car designer who thinks this is a good idea should be locked inside one of their cars on a sunny day until they admit it's a terrible idea. Heck, after dozens of kids dying each year after being locked in the trunk of a car while playing, we finally passed a law mandating a release mechanism inside the trunk. And some idiot car designer decides it would be a good idea to make it impossible for someone inside the passenger compartment to exit at will? Shame on BMW for trying to spin this to the press as a "helpful" feature.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politic...

You could say that he's not actually saying the phrase "national Muslim registry" there. But it's one of those cases where 2+2=4, and he did say 2 and 2.

The Republican Climate Change deniers are passing a law regarding monitoring truth in news? These are the same guys that has recently earned headlines like House Science Committee Tweets Climate-Change Denying Breitbart Article.

The are giving the power to "enforce" what is fake to an incoming president with about 70% of his statements rated from "mostly false" to "pants on fire" ( Donald Trump's file)?

I started to write a novel around this concept a decade ago. My friends urged me to abandon the idea was it was too far fetched. "Not believable," they said. "Would never happen," they argued.

I agreed that it was a silly idea.

Damn.

I recall the Republicans rioting before Bush was elected. Which helped get him elected. And flying the rioters in on planes supplied by corporate donors. And paying the rioters for their time. And pretending that it wasn't a partisan effort, it was the Good People of Florida spontaneously rising up.

Twitter says it doesn't tolerate "hateful conduct". That's pretty vague.

I think US borders should be guarded so that people can only come here legally. Does Twitter consider that statement hateful?

Does Twitter consider showing pictures of the US flag on Cinco de Mayo hateful? These Americans were called "Racist a–holes” for flying the American flag in the US on Cinco de Mayo at a school. At the school,

officials had banned the practice to avoid violence threatened by Hispanic students celebrating Cinco de Mayo. The controversy developed in 2010, when school officials ordered students not to wear U.S. flag-themed shirts on the Mexican holiday. The ban has been upheld by a federal appeals court.

Does a picture of someone wearing a Trump hat "interrupt ... operations"?

If you say the words "he", "she", "him" and "her", are you being hateful because those words make gay people feel "marginalized"?

The last three examples are extreme, but they illustrate my point. Twitter has to be careful not to ban political statements because they don't agree with the statements. They should ban statements only if the author is trying to incite violence.

2) Fire them. Hire somebody else that you hope will perform better.

This is what Amazon's stack ranking does.

Other companies that use HR policies like forced raking have similar creeping problems. Companies like Google and Yahoo use it even though it is a toxic idea from Microsoft. It's an HR policy so bad that Microsoft got rid of it after losing nearly a decade worth of productivity.

If you've never experienced it, the best description is somewhere between 'Hunger Games for IT' and 'Crony Capitalism applied to employee retention.' But it is a fabulous way to justify paying huge bonuses to the "top" 1% while firing people you don't like.

GOP votes by blacks were up 8%, and by hispanics were up 9%. They both turned out more for Trump than they did for Romney or McCain.

It's true that Trump did better than Romney did in 2012 with both of those groups. But your numbers are way off.

Black vote for Romney: 6%
Black vote for Trump: 8%

Latino vote for Romney: 27%
Latino vote for Trump: 29%

So, Trump added 2% to each group, not 8% and 9% respectively. And that 2% is likely within the margin of error of the exit polls.

No, they mean 2M.

we proved many times before the election that many elections machines could be hacked. the election officials said no, dont worry, it's not going to happen. now that people are not getting their way they are finding any dumb excuse.

Huh. I would have said exactly the opposite. Before the election many people, including people in government, were saying that we need to worry about hacking, that there were many organizations targeting this election (see here and here and here), but now that the election is over, people are saying don't worry, no problem.

Wasn't there election day reports from Pennsylvania of straight Republican votes magically changing to Democratic votes? With cell phone video of it happening?

Texas. Video of it here. Another report here And also PA.

Americans could bring manufacturing back home in a heartbeat but they need to be competitive. Foxconn employees make $17/day in China. American's could have it all: cheap gadgets and manufacturing jobs, They just need to be more realistic in terms of salaries. Trump's plan to get rid of the federal minimum wage will make America competitive again.

That isn't actually conclusive but the always suspect exit polls a two percent margin of error is not something I would hang my hat on.

BLM isn't racist.

If "White Lives Matter" is racist, then so is "Black Lives Matter". This is an inescapable conclusion, however you may try to rationalize it.

But I included several other examples of non-White racism, which remains alive and well on Twitter. AmiMojo suggested above, that that is simply because no one has filed a formal complaint against these other racists — the notion I ridicule in this subthread.

But I get it, you simply think crackas are all inherently racist, while no coloreds ever could be.

So, put this scumbag in jail so he can continue to surround himself with like minded people.

Such as this guy? Or maybe you meant this guy. Perhaps this guy.

Please tell us oh enlightened one how it's only the left which surrounds itself with like minded people and considers anyone who doesn't think like they do the enemy when day in and day out it is Republicans who use the word enemy to describe people within their own party who didn't back him?

Vent all you want but your words ring hollow when for the last eight years all we've heard is how bad things are, how horrible this president has been, how he should be impeached (for doing his job), and all the other vitriol cast upon him almost solely because of his race, yet none of that falls within your myopic view only the "left" being out of touch. If things are so bad then why suddenly, when not a single thing has changed in the last week, are Republicans suddenly saying the economy is doing well and there are no problems?

Because in a Republican's world if you don't bow down to your leader, if you don't blindly follow the leader, if you don't think like the leader, you're an enemy. Wouldn't want to open a Republican's hypocritical and bigoted mind by listening to others who don't agree, now would we?

Jews are greedy, but they look out for follow Jews. Google is run by Jews, so you can be sure they won't blacklist other sites run by Jews.

I'd have thought the election would have calmed you down a bit, Mr Bannon.
