Actually, Trump could reverse it, but if he does anti-oil groups will sue because the law does not specify that a President has the power to do so. It would then be up to the courts to decide if Congress has the authority to give the President the arbitrary authority to do this irreversibly (it is arbitrary because they specify no conditions the President needs to meet to exercise this power). If the courts decide that Congress does not have such power they can take two actions:
1)Revoke the law thus eliminating all such previous actions(and possibly opening up the government to lawsuits)
2)Rule that the law gives the President the implied authority to reverse such a decision.
If the courts decide that Congress did not have the constitutional authority to give the President they will probably choose option 2 (which is similar to a recent ruling concerning the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau).
No, but then I don't fall for fake news stories either, so I know that there is no evidence behind that "90% of climatologists" number you like to throw out there.
He has it backwards. The pollsters did not use Twitter data to predict that Hillary would win. They predicted that Hillary would win and then used Twitter data to make it look like it was something other than just wishful thinking on their part. Anybody who predicted that Hillary would win by a wide margin (and many people did) were basing it on wishful thinking. All of the REAL data before the election indicated a close election. Even the Electoral College blowout which Trump got was the result of small leads in many states he was expected to lose.
All of the prognosticators whose predictions were close to the actual results predicted a Trump victory, but made it clear that they had a bias in that direction and pointed out where their assumptions might be wrong because of that bias.

From that article: “If an end user buys an apparatus, a computer, and they want access to that, they would have to pay to have that filter removed,” Chumley said.
Actually, according to the linked article, the man proposing the legislation thinks that you can install this filtering software in a way that would require someone to go to a state certified expert to have it removed because the law would charge you $20 to have the software removed. Or in other words, he wants every computing device sold in SC to have a rootkit installed on it.
The law is not going to get passed because it is a stupid law. I am pretty sure that the guy who proposed it knows it is not going to get passed.
This is because almost no one buys a device BECAUSE it connects to the Internet. The IoT provides little to no value to the consumer, why would they pay attention to when the device needs updating. For that matter, in the normal course of using these devices, how would the end user even know that it needed updating?
That is an interesting theory. However, there is one problem with it. The iphone 6 battery is essentially the same as that for every other cellphone I have ever seen. Oh, it is a different form factor, but it appears to be covered in the same material as those batteries.
we're about to hand the difficult task of governing over to people who either don't think it's possible or see it as an opportunity to enrich themselves at everyone's expense.
So, we should have handed the task of governing over to a woman who sees it, and has used it, as an opportunity to enrich herself?
There is an interesting thing about that "Russian fake news". It does not appear to have gotten very much traction. For example, "pizzagate", which I learned about after the man with the gun showed up to "investigate" it. Since then I have seen numerous people who voted for Hillary mention it. Yet when I ask the people I know who voted for Trump about it, they never heard of the original story, or even about the man with the gun. The same thing is true about several other fake news stories which were supposed to have caused people to vote for Trump. They are known about by many of the Hillary voters I know, but by few, if any, of the Trump voters.
What is interesting is that since the pizzagate incident occurred I have asked the conservatives I know their thoughts about it. None of them had even heard about this "conspiracy", yet most of the liberals I know were fully informed about it even before the gun man went to the pizzeria (which is when I first heard about it). It makes me wonder who is really the target audience of this "fake news."
There is nothing in this that says that they are getting rid of all fake news, just the fake news (and not so fake news) that Politifact and Snopes do not like.
The few reviews I have seen where they looked at the evidence about the water supplies from BEFORE there was any fracking in the area suggest that the water supplies which can be lit by a match could be lit by a match before there was any fracking in the area. Unfortunately, these only represent a minimal number of such sites (the rest, no one went back and looked into the situation before fracking).
The problem there is that the individual states in the U.S. are supposed to be considered sovereign states which have yielded a modicum of their sovereignty to the federal government. Although in practice they function much more like provinces than like sovereign states. However, every so often an issue comes up where the states function in relation to the federal government as they were intended.
That is actually a pretty good description of it. One thing you might want to think about is, how does a country differ from a state? (And the distinction most Americans make is incorrect). For example, before a unified Germany existed Bavaria was an independent state, but it was not a country.
Supply and demand DOES apply to the labor force. Since tech labor salaries are not rising rapidly it is clear that those who say it is in short supply are LYING (or misinformed, we must remember that not every one who says something that is demonstrably wrong is evil, some of them are just stupid).
The south did not "abandon real slavery". It was taken from them after they lost a war.
However, the evidence suggests that paid workers are more productive than slaves. For that matter, fairly compensated workers out produce even "wage slaves". Companies which employ people who can better themselves by doing a better job, even if that means they leave the company and move on, produce more profit for their owners than companies which bind their employees to the company and give them no chance to improve their lot (either by advancing in the company or by acquiring skills which allow them to leave the company and become self-employed).
OK, so a couple of fringe sites that are the conservative equivalent of the DailyKos. The sites you mentioned did not influence the election. I think MAYBE I have heard of The Right Stuff. The other two, not at all.
As far as I can tell U.S. media never covered it at all.
As to the evidence of child sexual abuse against Donald Trump, it was the testimony of a single individual who claimed that it happened when Trump spent some time at a facility owned by Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile (I believe the incident was alleged to have occurred on Epstein's plane, but I am not sure. There is only one record of Donald Trump flying on Epstein's plane, as opposed to Bill Clinton's 26 documented flights. I have seen no references to Trump spending any time at Epstein's island resort, while Bill Clinton has been there at least twice. The woman who made the allegations against Donald Trump has now withdrawn them.
So, the link you gave is to a story on slashdot about a story on Reddit about pizzagate. If I saw that story I did not bother to read it because it referenced Reddit, which I did not realize anyone thought was a news site. Next thing you will be telling me I should know all about something because 4chan has stories about it. I mean basically this whole pizzagate thing appears to me to be right up there with the SPLC inspired shooter from a few years ago. No one thought it was necessary to shutdown the SPLC because some guy tried to go on a shooting rampage because they called a group a "hate group".
I am curious because I spend a lot of time on many different news sites (including a significant number which are considered alt-right, and almost as many which are ctrl-left) and had never heard of this "pizza-gate" until the story about the gunman. Where exactly did you see the stories about this?
The only stories I saw connecting Hillary to pedophilia were about Anthony Weiner or about Bill Clinton hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein (or both).
OK, so what you are saying is that you will only consider someone as being legitimately the President if you agree with them.
Donald Trump IS legitimately the President-elect. When he takes the oath of office in January, he will be the legitimate President, even if Hillary gets the Electoral College votes of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania thrown out so that the House decides who the next President is.
The fact that Trump will be the worst President after Obama has nothing to do with whether or not he is legitimate. The fact that Trump got fewer votes than Hillary is irrelevant, that is not how our system works. If you do not like how the system works, do your best to get the Constitution amended.
Hillary will never be the President of the United States because the American people realized that she would be even worse than Donald Trump.

Well, if your number is correct there is NO need to ban it at this time because oil companies would not attempt to drill.

You missed the point. There is as much or more evidence linking Clinton to pedophilia as there is linking Trump.
OK, so a couple of fringe sites that are the conservative equivalent of the DailyKos. The sites you mentioned did not influence the election. I think MAYBE I have heard of The Right Stuff. The other two, not at all.
US media never carried the international aspect,
As far as I can tell U.S. media never covered it at all.

Except of course that it was NOT a link to pizzagate. It was a link to a story about Anthony Weiner sexting a minor.

Wow, you did not consider Obama legitimate either?
If I had known that I would not have bothered to respond to your first post.
OK, so what you are saying is that you will only consider someone as being legitimately the President if you agree with them.
