You are still not bright enough to figure and that left vs right is dumbed down politics for kids. You really think there are only two sides to every issue, no middle ground? Just look around, Trump is not even Republican at heart, he has none of the ideals that Republicans have had for the last 50 years (though he shares the isolationist stance the GOP had before the great depression). Everyone I know who voted for Trump did so while holding their noses - they are not celebrating Trump's win, they know they voted for what they thought was the lesser of two evils and now they're buckling up to prepare for what the lesser evil is going to do. Only the Tea Party faction is for wholesale destruction of the government. Trump would make Reagan puke in disgust.
And stop acting like Cartman. Sheesh, this is REAL LIFE and not some stupid sports game where you get drunk and start a fight on the field based upon who is holding the ball at the moment. Sober up, stop swaggering, and start paying attention.
I gave a figure once to a recruiter saying that I could not afford to relocate to Silicon Valley without at least that much. He balked at it, saying it was unheard of. But like many recruiters he was just a contractor, and clueless. So when he passed it on the company agreed and he was completely surprised. Seriously, he was considering giving me an offer lower than what an entry level employee gets just because it felt like too much of a raise to him. (after working there awhile, it really was clear that the recruiter was clueless)
I see a lot of pressure to make sure all the numbers are maxed out on the survey, or that item X be given top marks, etc. I bought a car once, over a decade ago, where the salesperson was intent on telling me that box 5 on the survey I was going to get in a couple weeks had to be given a 10 rating, or else things would go very badly for the dealership. It was sort of hard to tell if the home offices do punish the groups or employees that don't get top ratings, or if there is more of a local push to make sure they end up better rated than the other branches. (and for auto sales that's a dog-eat-dog competitive market, even at the same dealership they're often backstabbing each other)
But young people still need some extra spending cash. You don't get that by hanging out at the mall all day long. Even if you get a full scholarship you still want to be able to buy some extra stuff now and then.
I wouldn't call these allegations things that are against the Russian government. They are illegal yes, but there's a difference between treason against a country and acts that are called illegal by that country. Laundering money in a domestic account is not treason, and laundering money in a foreign account is not treason.
The details are murky, sure. But there is no hint anywhere about what is actually treasonous.
Huh, non sequitur. You can insult your leaders separately and independently from disclosing state secrets. together or separately. There is nothing Snowden did that I would call an insult, and the US government is not mad at him because of any insults.
If there's one thing Americans hold great pride in, it's our right to insult our leaders and your leaders. And like all rights, it must be exercised often else we lose it. It's our patriotic duty!
Maybe some cultural misunderstandings here. A lot of us are American, where innocent until proven guilty is a concept taught from a very young age. Although some here were taught when young that Putin is always right.
Hillary doesn't know a damn thing about computers. She hates them. She likes the pearl Blackberry. So she had some two bit IT guy maintain the Mac in the basement and he put on the Kaspersky. It is a pretty decent anti-virus after all.
He's a real-estate deal maker. He's not a general purpose deal maker. His deals often involve "you'll make huuuge amounts of money if you back my project". Even in his own businesses there is a string of lawsuits that inevitably arrive after a a deal can't deliver what was promised (happens in lots of businesses that involve partnerships). That is not the normal way to try and conduct diplomacy or trade deals however, where most of the work is done by low level bureaucrats hammering out fine grained details and the big boys only come out smiling for the photo ops. If Trump decides to be a micromanager it's not going to work out very well, and it's really going to be awful if he goes public about what is going to happen before negotiations even start.
The first example is subjective, you can have an intelligent argument about whether that was true or false or what percentage of culpability the video had. The second example is wrong, as Trump did not say "lots of people", he said it was the most viewed inauguration in history. Which can be objectively shown as false, nost just subjectively.
Now of course, Trump could have made an honest mistake. But with his ego he will never admit to a mistake and he will never let his staff admit that he made a mistake. He's doubling down on something utterly unimportant.
Did Obama ever tell a lie so completely blatantly false as Trump's easily refutable lie about having the largest inauguration ever? That was completely ego driven and is a lie about a completely insignificant topic. If Trump would like about something to silly as that, then how can you ever believe him on something of importance?
Yes, EVERY politician lies. However except for a few rare cases of brain disorder they try to make their lies sound like the truth.
Spot on. I see that victim card being played so often when no one is doing any harassment. The average person is being left alone. People do make fun of the dumb as rocks idots out there, but those aren't average people.

Don't forget all the immigrants who came over on the Mayflower and screwed things up.
Yup, terrorists in 9/11 weren't from any countries on Trump's list.
And one of the things to fix is getting rid of America's xenophobia.

Timey Wimey Crystals.
Test the power meter with a known good cable and a known bad cable. A lot of money to spend to be sure of quality!
You call it the current phone because it draws a lot of amps?
So cheaper per foot than the Apple version?
And are those people going to also go buy the $30 usb C power meter?
You need to approve my cute kitten videos before I mod your stuff.

Doesn't mean it was treason either. Embezzlement, money laundering, general shiftiness, sure. But treason is a pretty big stretch.
I thought it was that guy on Twitter.

Well, the adminstration is certainly not within reason. So who is?
