  1. Sharing the opinion of a FauxNoise talking head hardly constitutes law or reality.

  2. Re:Online Polls? on Michael Cohen Says He Tried To Rig Online Polls 'at the Direction' of Donald Trump (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    The money came from the "Trump Foundation" which was ordered disbanded by New York. Since the Foundation was used as a personal Trump check book for both private and election activities, there are likely a litany of laws broken.
    There's several ongoing investigations so we're only beginning to scratch the surface of this shit storm
    In other news today Giuliani now claims - contrary to 18 months of loudmouthing - "I never said there was no collusion".. And they called Kerry "flip-flop/flip-flop". Giuliani must be running for cover or he's just insane, I wouldn't rule out either.
    The realty is the Mueller investigation alone has thus far resulted in 36+ indictments, guilty pleas (9) and people in Jail (4). Incoming House Intelligence chair Adam Schiff will be handing over tons of documents to Meuller (where and Nunes woundn't) and will likely implicate Don Trump Jr. in lying before the House Intelligence committee. I'm going to invest my money in popcorn for this one.
    Trumpkins continually cry "What laws were broken?".... Campaign finance laws, fraud (Trump U), IRS rules (Tim Tebow helmit), election laws by emailing foreign officials to solicit political contributions, illegally using a superpac, trade laws to Cuba, copywrite infringement....and a long yet to be determined list... Sorry Trumpkins, the OompaLoompa king will ultimately go down painfully.

    The Reichwing blocked every single thing Obama did in his last 1-1/2 years. TurtleMan McConnell refused to even do his job and put a SCOTUS replacement on the floor.

    The key sentence "under Rubio's legislation, any national regulations would preempt state laws -- even if the state's are more strict."
    This proposed legislation is nothing than a veiled attempt to eviscerate State and local privacy laws.

    Bullshit. 2 months ago the GOP had the House , Senate and Oval Office - yet couldn't get a budget done. The GOP refused to give Lord Trumpkin his silly wall. He was ready to sign a budget deal without the wall till FoxNews made fun of him and he threw a tantrum... You like having a Commander if Chief taking marching orders from a propaganda organization? It doesn't bother you he idols are Putin and Kim Jong-un
    And, BTW, this shutdown is the longest in history, so there's comparison with Obama or anyone else.
    Trump is a spoiled brat petulant child in the White House.
    People are sick and tired of politicians owned by corporations raiding the Treasury for corporate benefit... In 2018 the GOP increased the deficit by $1.06T dollars in massive corporate tax cut under the guise of "it would spur the economy"... Corporations took their new found windfall and used it on record setting stock buy backs... a $1T dollars worth (seen that number before?)
    We have the GOP who continually scream about the deficit when there's a Democrat in charge, instantly toll armloads of payola on corporate oligarchy as soon as they get the chance.

    Reagan started the "liberals are evil" bullshit to redirect the mindless while needing to raise taxes 11 times in his 2 terms because "trickle-down" aka voodoo economics was such a failure.

  13. Agile... when you don't want to waste the time or money doing a needs analysis, system sizing or process documentation - which leads to the need to redo over and over and over (aka "sprints") 'cause it never gets done right..

    Services people demand... police / fire protection / schools / roads / not getting shot/mugged every-time you walk out the door / building standards so homes don't cave in on in a windstorm, employment regulations to not allow workers or minors chained to desks for 18 hours a day with no toilet breaks, or locked fire escapes that kill everyone in a fire - all those "pesky" regulations that businesses if left to themselves just wouldn't do in the name of profit are all regulated and administered by a "Government". Because arsewipes like you see zero value in educating the youth and would prefer them to grow to be uneducated, unemployable criminals who rob. .... but then we were there as a nation and that's why we need a government And those things cost money.

  15. When a physical bank is robbed, everyone who has dollars in their pockets still has whole dollars. The theft had zero effect on the value of your pocket or what you can buy. When a crypto-currency exchange gets hacked (aka robbed), the value of what you own can tumble. Plus, add in the shear insecurity of crypto-currency, and you have the reasons why it's a complete failure and nonsense.

  16. well, yes.
    And the FCC is busy rewriting code (legal code) to strip local municipalities of their right to manage their open spaces and licensing revenue forcing muni's to permit carriers to mount transmitters on every single light pole, building corner, sign or bump of dirt the carrier desires under the blanket of a "master contract".

    Trump lost the general election. 3 million more US voters signed for Hillary over Trump... In fact, the GOP hasn't won popular election for a 1st term POTUS since Bush 1 - 27 years ago. Given that an incumbent has the statistical advantage, if it were not for gerrymandering, in all likely hood the United States wouldn't have had a Republican President in almost 30 years.

  18. When they use their market share and clout to stomp competitors, that's no choice.

  19. "by" 3 grams, not "to" 3 grams.

  21. Don't be an ass or an idiot. It's the exact contrary - The promise of all the wonderful things technology can do wasn't suppose to be funded by tech companies cannibalizing every personal and private detail about your life and selling it without your knowledge or consent. There's something morally wrong with being forced to accept being constantly watched (camera), monitored (browsing data, texts, apps, usage, purchases, etc) , listened to (microphone), tracked (GPS) without a crime or subpoena because your want to use technology. Like giving away your rights to your own DNA forever (in the ELU of 23andME for example) is morally reprehensible and should be illegal.
    When did citizens stop giving a shit about all those who spilled blood and died protecting freedoms we casually cast away for someone else's profit?

    We're seeing APple follow the same failed playbook with the Iphone assuming market share alone would drive future sales.
    Nope, nobody in their right mind is going to pay a grand for an small tablet with a cell antenna and a phone app - cause really, "phone" is just an app. It fails as a tablet, it fails as phone - no new features worthy of the price gouging
