    Which is no problem, as an charge is not a conviction. Being in court does not mean being guilty.

    Great! How do I get my time and money back? You ever been dragged through the system on bogus charges? You make it sound so upright and civilized. I can assure you it isn't.

    Only for the desire can super-pacs do anything. With the odds in their favor it's still a wager. What you think would happen if everyone told them to put their money where the sun don't shine?

    Have you ever read the entire quote correctly?

    For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

    Why do you all refuse to acknowledge the human foible? The voters have the power to turn super-pac money into confetti, which is what they did to Clinton's. Though it was minor, I still call that a success. Now they have to do the same to the republicans. Then "Mission Accomplished". Do not deny the possibility. And stop the scapegoating if you don't want this bullshit to continue indefinitely.

    Suspicion is not knowledge. They may have heard of it from a member.

    Money can do nothing. There has to be a desire for it. The voters can easily tune out. They just have to do it. However, I do agree the majority rule has its limits, as this election has demonstrated quite clearly.

    trusted news outlets.

    There lies the rub, eh? Trust is pretty much dead at this point. And the lapdog press parroting government conspiracy theories about 9/11 in order to start wars and take away our rights buried it a little bit deeper.

  7. Millions of unemployed in this country, and people are hiring people who can't even fucking read to be editors.

    Maybe the pay scale precludes any desire for the job.

    They could if they were interested. The money is not to blame. Apathy is the far bigger problem. Antipathy also plays a big part. People are just scapegoating inanimate objects to cover up their own desires and failures. Plain old animal psychology goes a very long way in explaining the issue. It's downright Pavlovian, with a touch of Skinner. The brain stem rules and the cortex serves through rationalization. The original sin was committed by the person, not the serpent. Temptation isn't the evil, the failure to resist is. But, it's more convenient to wag the dog and absolve one's lack of self control.

    Well, of course it works. The voters don't give a damn, and they'll do what's convenient. That's not the money's fault, or the person who uses it either. I can't blame the winner for winning.

    Money doesn't influence elections. The desire is another thing entirely. Place the blame where it belongs...

    Don't you think it's obvious what what.cd is?

    No! Why the hell should it be obvious? The name would be a seriously bullshit pretext for knocking the doors down. If they had enough 'evidence' to conduct a raid, it's because a little birdie sang. And lack of evidence is no guarantee you'll get your server back. Maybe France is more civilized in that regard, I wouldn't know, but in most places you can forget about seeing your computer ever again, even after the charges are dismissed.

  20. Well, they know how to win an election. In fact, they know how to completely monopolize the process to ensure that you only hear from republicans and democrats. Pretty clever bunch the 'stupid and the misinformed' are..

  21. No, they just broadcast false narratives. They parrot official fake news from 'anonymous sources' that aren't 'authorized to speak to the press'. It's the same bloody difference!

  22. *cough* Gulf of Tonkin... Yeah, I blame facebook for that one also.

    We don't call it 'lapdog media' for nothing. The official narrative is no less a bunch conspiracy theories than Alex Jones. "Fake news" is a natural response to fake news... If you really want to deal with the issue, demand real official transparency, don't allow all the secrecy. This whole thing, along with 'hate speech' is just another push for censorship. Don't fall into their trap.
