International concerns are a matter for the federal government. Making your community a "better" place is a function of your local government, not the feds. Think how much more money your community would have if it wasn't ripped out of your people's paychecks and sent to the swamp in DC to be squandered.
Did you see the video with the guy from CNN saying it was a narrative, that there was no real evidence? Straight out of the horse's mouth. Did you see the New York Time's retraction?
Nothing came out of that meeting with the "Russian lawyer" which is probably why Jr didn't think to mention it. If I tell someone I bought a new car, I don't usually go on talking about the ones I didn't buy. He didn't collude with the Russian government, that's still a fact that has yet to be proven false. Next the media is going to tell us that one of the Trump kids withdrew money from a bank that had a Russian cashier.
Great rant, but none of that actually happened. Even CNN got caught agreeing there's no evidence to back any of it up. It's all based on "unnamed sources" that don't actually exist.
BTW, if we're going to enact laws to refuse to work with other nations, why not go after a country like Saudi Arabia which actually should be considered an enemy of the US and is a credible threat to western nations?
Curbing bad behavior from a country is more efficient if you involve the government of that country. Not that there was bad behavior to begin with. This is all bluster from the Democrats that are trying to stay relevant.
If one person has to pay more than the other just because they earn more, then the tax isn't fair. We should all have an equal responsibility to fund our communities.
I don't believe that people in this country are helpless to the degree that so many people are depending on handouts for the government. As for numbers, I agree they'd be nice to have, but these are people cheating the system. You can't just do a query on cheaters and get a number. Further, politicians use these entitlements as a bargaining chip for votes. They stand in the way of any attempt to analyze the situation. They'll cite privacy or civil rights or any number of other barricades to prevent anyone from getting at the real data. My personal favorite is the double-talk that Boston pulls. They will claim there are no illegal aliens using public housing because it would be against the law. What they don't tell you is that it's against the law in Boston to ask for someone's citizenship or residency status when they're applying for aid. So there's absolutely people in public housing that shouldn't be (Obama had an aunt doing this), but you won't find it in the data because they're blocked by law from asking for or recording that information.
Where I live the 911 center calls you back and asks for directions forty minutes later because the police couldn't find the house. Even though the house has a number on it and UPS/FedEx/USPS/local-take-out can all find it.
Someone shouldn't be making $1000 per week if that's not what they were earning before disability. If they were earning at least that prior to disability, then if able-bodied, they should be able to make that again. I don't see the problem here. If they're unwilling to return to work because it's work, pull their benefits and let them choose between work and starvation, just like the rest of us that work for a living.
This is not a good way to support UBI. The actual working class will see right through this.
That's flat-out wrong. There are plenty of people that want to live on handouts and to never work an honest day in their life. I know people like this. They know every trick in the book to game every welfare-like program, and when the government does a sweep of welfare looking for cheats, they jump over to disability. If that stops working for them, they go back to welfare.
They broke nothing. Whole Foods could solicit other offers if they wanted, just as Amazon could rescind their offer if they did so. Free speech isn't the same as free everything. Whole Foods chose to accept those terms, they didn't have to.
Slack is great because if you use a browser they don't like (which is most of them) they block you instead of just throwing up a warning or whatever. I have to fudge the user agent string just to use their awful product. They also get snippy if you complain to them about it. And why do animated GIFs still not work on their Android app? That's not a feature that should take years to implement.

No one would ever dare defy the law!
He didn't meet with a Russian government official, he met with someone who happened to be Russian. He didn't have to disclose it.
That's the SUV mentality. Screw you, I'm safe in my big mighty box.
It's not about taxation. It's about the role of the FEDERAL government.

It's kinda funny that's you're posting as AC.

X11 stuff works, but it's not "officially" supported.
They're working on other distros:

It will even let you run different distros as the same time.
It's another opportunity to undercut domestic labor. We've seen abuses of the H1B visa program, there's no reason this one won't be abused as well.
Paying money to the mafia-nouveau is not the answer.
Sounds to me like it clears the way for US workers to innovate.

Sorry your loved one died. They were watching a violent show and we scrubbed their call to 911.
Man shouting from outside: Alexa, unlock the front door!

They won't get a job, they'll steal your shit while you're at work.

Are you saying that Skype users need courage?
Could be worse, it could be Webex.
