    OK, I'll add the qualifier. He never testified under oath as POTUS.

    No they didn't. He wasn't diagnosed until 1994. And as far as I know, he never testified under oath.

    The FBI claims it doesn't know how it works (or it deliberately avoided asking or learning how it works) so it can avoid all FOIA requests pertaining to that information. This is the age of Obama and Clinton. That's how it works now.

  4. I don't know about that. There was the Trump supporter with the stupid hat that yelled the comment in the video where that girl was (deservedly) pepper sprayed. I'm cool with the pepper spraying, but that comment was out of line.

    Actually they are. There is a push to make birth control available in the US over the counter, like it is in most of the world. But the abortion lobby doesn't want it to happen, because they would lose a revenue stream and the power that comes along with statutory middle-man status.

    Or Apple actually gave them access months ago, and this is all just a big cover story to keep the cozy Apple/FBI relationship going.

    I bet you voted for Obama twice. I can tell, because he never enters the discussion. It's his fault.

    Methane comes from compost piles owned by save the earth hippies, and all the wetlands we are trying so desperately to preserve.

    37 degrees celsius? You think that's hot for a tropical island? I looked at the temperature record in the 60's and there were plenty of 37 degree days then as well. Were you expecting it to be like Canada?

    The US has much, much tighter standards for particulate matter and NOx than the EU. Like they only allow about 25% of the levels that the EU allows. Basically, you should shut your pie hole or start complaining that Diesel engines in the EU pollute 4 times as much as they do in the US.

    Every car tested passed the official pollution test, without cheating. What this article is claiming is that almost all of the cars failed to pass a test that was made up explicity for the purpose of writing a shitty article that scares a bunch of people. Basically, "we made up a new test that is not mandated by any government and we know cars won't be able to pass. Behold! Almost all of the cars we tested failed to pass our arbitrary unofficial test! Look at how dirty they are!".

    "All new diesel cars meet or exceed the official pollution limits". What they fail to meet is unofficial pollution limits.

  25. No, Communism is born from the misery created by the indelible failures of Socialism. Nations that move from socialism to capitalism invariably improve, those that move to Communism invariably crater and die.
