Officials seized Trump protesters' cell phones, cracked their passwords/
I wonder.... just extrapolating from events, how much worse can this get?
Debtor's prison. Hard labor for people requiring medical services while unemployed. I can think of a lot of plausible ways things can get worse. Maybe such thought experiments motivates people to act, but it makes me depressed.
We used to throw people in prison after we suspected of sympathizing with communism after convicting them in a secret court. And it should not be shocking to you that America makes some terrible mistakes that run counter to freedom and the Constitution. It should be shocking that we never seem to learn from those mistakes, and that about 30% of the population will argue that anti-freedom behavior is totally justified.
Not to set up a strawman, but flip through archives of forums like/. and others during the Occupy movement, you'll find a few that argue the solution is to "put a bullet through [protester's] head". There is a vocal minority of people who find totalitarianism very appealing.
It's certainly his choice. But there can be a significant difference in salary for someone who worked at a few difference places over 10-15 years and someone who joined a big company out of school and stayed there.
The Command-in-Chief is also spouting a lot of nonsense without having any military qualifications. I put a lot more faith in what seasoned commands and veterans have to say on the matter than what gas bag right-wing politicians and arm chair leftist techies have to say.
Make use of technology to free up people to do other tasks and increase productivity. If we always sided with maximizing the amount of labor for human beings we would have never accepted the farm tractor.
A broken clock is right twice a day. The river near me has changed enough in the last 50 years that the county maps do not show the exact path of the river relative to my property line. The physical world is constantly changing, and information that is even a few decades old should be checked for accuracy, let alone information that is two millennium old.
Even processed "low-moisture" mozzarella has more water content than the moon. You want some water in your cheese, it would be an inedible lump without it.
I'm not sure how I'm expect to respond to your deceptive comments. I could see how you might take what I said as a personal attack, but I really did expect you to embrace being a liar or a moron.
also creimer's id is quite a bit higher than mine, if I'm his alt account he's running the longest con in internet history. Maybe I'm the original and he's my alt?
Citizen's United ruling was in 2010. Trump announced he was running in 2015. You have a lot of balls applying revisionism bullshit to make this about Trump vs Hillary election when the ruling was an issue 5 years before any of that. I can only assume that you're a liar or a moron.
Regulations that were effective in the past is no longer so. Much of what used to protect the American people has been torn away over the last 40 years. And now we have the ruling Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which neither the Democrats or Republicans wish to address. The status quo is profitable for the current oligarchy, and DNC posturing that they'll break up the "big bad corporation" lacks teeth because multinational corporations can reorganize so quickly under the same set of shareholders and board. Such measures by the DNC are unlikely to pass, and will be quickly forgotten. You can consider this the opening salvo for mid-term elections. I'd argue if the DNC was serious about going after corporate behavior that harms Americans, there would be talk from the main-stream Democrats to deal with the Citizens United ruling, but I really haven't seen anything but hot air.

Well certainly not malcontents who are white and male. But that's just general of malcontents.

Too slow.
We've always been stupid, collectively speaking. It's that you're just now getting access to information that confirms it.
That seems better than most economics plans that the politicians there propose.
Obesisty?
I won't hold my breath for my globe with East and West Germany to become relevant again.
Presumably the taxis are taking people somewhere for some purpose.
But seriously, India exports a lot of fossil fuels, petroleum by products, chemical products, plastics, and even nuclear reactor components.
I doubt we can even come to an agreement on who to consult on the definition of right versus wrong.
That's only allowed when the minority opinions are the right kind of opinions.
Can somebody can tell me how to pry the 1% away from their wealth[y]
I assume you mean without a violent revolution?

He left all the bullshit on Earth.
An excellent example of why we don't use stone tablets to record scientific knowledge.

They say that Putin is a high-quality person.
The shills are out in full force tonight.
