Yeah. It mean's she'll actually be an effective President. Having ties is only equivalent to being subject to undue influence in the minds of conspiracy nuts.
The ironic thing about the Wikileaks dump of Podesta's emails is that they give a picture of a highly effective political organization, which makes me want to vote for Clinton even more than I did before. I'm not the only one I know who feels this way.
There's no point in denying this any more. Journalists have always tended to lean left more than right, but 2016 has shown that all pretense of integrity and independence has completely evaporated. Rigged polls, collusion with PACs and the DNC, mudslinging directed at the RNC candidates while ignoring third party options and DNC scandals of the same magnitude as Watergate, and making unsubstantiated accusations of foreign interference by Russia while ignoring the foreign money from Soros and extreme Islamic regimes influencing the electoral process. Nothing is off limits to the same group that doctors audio recordings to falsely show racism and hypes up stories of a few cops committing criminal acts against black people while ignoring the fact that black on black violence is at epidemic levels.
Rigging the Facebook feed to promote pro-DNC pro-Clinton pro-SJW causes is IMO an effective subliminal ploy even for those that scroll past it so they can see funny pictures of their friends' kids. They're cutting off Twitter feeds and FB pages of people they don't like too even though they have not violated the user agreement. All of them will stop at nothing to brainwash and browbeat us into one mind, and use the SJWs to persecute those who disagree with the positions like useful idiots.
Wow, you mean we are electing somebody for President who has effective working ties and a good relationship with the largest businesses in the country? Who knows these people personally, understands the issues and challenges of their industries, and has a functional organization in place to aid in their growth and success? It's a scandal, I tell you!
The whole goddamned point was an online network not controlled by a big telco or the government.
You don't know much about the history of the internet, do you? The internet was invented by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency with the goal of networking military computers in a failsafe fashion. The stated goals were:
1. Internet communication must continue despite loss of networks or gateways. 2. The Internet must support multiple types of communications service. 3. The Internet architecture must accommodate a variety of networks. 4. The Internet architecture must permit distributed management of its resources. 5. The Internet architecture must be cost effective. 6. The Internet architecture must permit host attachment with a low level of effort. 7. The resources used in the internet architecture must be accountable.
None of these have any thing to do with "not being controlled by government". Sorry.
Contact Netflix and tell them you are cancelling your subscription due to this action on their part. That's really the only leverage you have over them. It is not in the customer's interest that they are doing this.
This. I'll do it right after I finish catching up on Luke Cage.
Exactly. I keep my car for at least a decade, and information technology obsolesces much more quickly than that: Just give me a useful Bluetooth connection and let me use my phone for navigation and audio. In addition to continuously updated maps, a networked navigation app like Google Maps gives me real-time traffic, which I don't get with an offline nav system.
So this is the much-anticipated Wikileaks October Surprise? UFO emails from Blink 182? Julian needs to up his game and give us something just a tad more significant, like maybe Hillary's dry cleaning list or some of her Nigerian 401 spam.
Doesn't mean much if they keep making gas-guzzling SUVs. Their current #1 selling vehicle is the Silverado pickup, #2 is the Equinox SUV, which, despite being billed as "fuel efficient", is still only rated for 21 MPG in city driving.
Asphyxiation via C02 is an absolutely HORRIBLE way to die, regardless of the creature. There's a reason Carbogen (C02/Oxygen mix) is used to induce anxiety to test out anxiolytics. I mean I get that they need to solve the infestation problem but can't we choose a method that isn't also a completely inhumane method?
Not only that, but have you ever stuck your nose into a pure CO2 environment? It burns, because of the carbonic acid formed when the CO2 hits your mucus membranes. It would be a truly nasty way to die.

Attack the person, not the argument: it's a logically fallacy called argumentum ad hominem.
Classic American liberalism.
When the "argument" is entirely devoid of anything resembling a logical thread, ridicule is pretty much the only sensible response.
Really? You think it sounds pretty good?

The only respect I've seen shown him is when he married an ugly women after he made his fortune.

Priscilla Chan isn't a supermodel, but she's a very beautiful woman.

I'm guessing lead poisoning.

Wait, actually, that sounds pretty good.
I obviously have more familiarity with the situation in the mid-1990s than you do.
Not my fault I've been in cryo-freeze since 1989. How did the Quayle Administration work out?

All three of them.

I can't wait for the scene with Deckard in the refrigerator.
Systemd trolls coming in 3, 2, 1, ...
I think you meant 3 ... [pause] [pause] [pause] [pause] ... 2 ... [pause] [pause] [pause] ........
That's not "why", that's "how".
Well, it's all the "why" there is. Sorry.
How about "at least since the Second Century"?
Terminating All Processes Immediately And Rebooting To Last Known Good Configuration...
It happened twice this morning. Didn't you notice?
Where do I sign up for some of that grant money?
It's called Gnosticism, and it has been around since at least the Second Century.
... it doesn't prevent dupes on Slashdot.
This got modded "insightful"? Seriously?
Everybody knows Vince Foster was murdered by space aliens.

Well they tried C4 and the neighbors bitched about the noise. you just can't make anyone happy these days.

But, yeah, they're rats.
Now? The right wing have always accused the ACLU of having a liberal bias.
Then again, I'm not sure there is anything they haven't accused of having a liberal bias.
Donald Trump's penis? I'm pretty sure it has never been accused of liberal bias.
But otherwise, yeah, that's about it.
There is no need to pardon anyone that has not been charged with anything.
Somebody should have told that to Gerald Ford.
