I don't blame them for Flynn's firing. Or Comey's either. They should have autonomy to administrate as they see fit, within the bounds of what is legal and "ethical".
They left's attempts to make everything "ethical" is problematic, especially for the left (eventually). Because the right is paying attention, and guess what, those tactics will be used by the right against the left in the next (D) presidency. The left is very short sighted in this regard.
Yeah, because it is totally inconceivable that a person is good, and yet lied about something innocuous (or even forgettable) like having a conversation.
What I find amazing, is when you compare the "nothingness" of the Russia Hacked the Election, Trump "colluded" with the Russians and the firing of Comey to what the Democrats, Hillary, and Lynch did on the tarmac, it actually pales in comparison.
In both cases, you have absolutely no smoking gun, and a bunch of smoke lingering. In the case of Clintons, you have a whole bunch of smoke, but bring that up and..... "CLINTON LOST THE ELECTION" cries start happening. As if they would be as apoplectic over Clinton's interference into an investigation of wrong doing. But what do I know?
I didn't vote for the "Republican" guys either. I'm just pointing out, that people that like to equate (R) with evil and corrupt every time some Chairman of some company is Republican and does something evil, are the same people who make excuses when it is a (D) doing it.
Your case just proves my point. When everything the left hates is "Political" and when it is something that shines poorly upon the (D), it is "Get Fucked trying to make this political".
Being a Libertarian, I understand the dangers of political manipulation of the Economy, at both the micro and macro points of the model. I am actually probably, on your side on this one. However, my solution isn't "more government control" and "Regulation" it is less. You see, since the whole problem was caused by government regulation in the first place (half dozen key regulations in fact). But that doesn't work for liberals who think that the first and only solution to a problem is "MOAR GOVERNMENT".
And here is a key fact, there are other ways to administer Epinephrine besides EpiPen. In fact there are several "open source" style kits out there that do the same kind of thing, for a whole lot less money.
Instead of whining about EpiPen costs, vote with your dollars and get the less expensive version of your choice. And ask that the Government deregulate the mandates to use EpiPens.
The key to power is information and choice. Government regulations that remove "choices" are to blame here. But so is being lazy, and not getting the information you need to make the choices you could be making.
I haven't voted for a winning candidate in probably 30 years. People like slick well tailored smooth talking liars to plain talking normal person, who is average.
I know that the Chairman supports Democrats. I wonder if He were a republican the left would be going apoplectic over it, but Democrats are good kind people and would NEVER do such a thing.
Here's the thing, the bean counters never analyze the risk properly. Because they are incapable of doing data breach risk analysis, since they don't have a firm grip on the value of the data they are being asked to protect.
To be honest, I am not sure anyone really knows the damage caused by data breaches or accidental losses. My guess is, that they under value the assets and in return, make piss poor assessments on risk.
In my way of thinking, it is not a matter of if, but when.
It is always too late to figure out after the fact.
American Subjects to be specific. 4th Amendment doesn't apply anywhere else. Though other places may have similar structure to their government laws.
As a Libertarian, I would want my Federal Government to honor its highest laws universally, when dealing with anyone. However that is not currently the standard, and it bothers me greatly that we don't apply the stricter(limiting) standard to our government officials no matter where they operate in the world.
Density also shortens pathways, so that the clock speed may not change, but the distance cut increases efficiency of design.
I remember seeing a demo by someone (Grace Hopper??) holding up a piece of wire, and saying "This is a microsecond", the distance speed of light travels in that time frame. It was quite illuminating to me at the time (35 years ago)
All regulations do. The fact that we don't document every regulation stifles innovation (And spurs innovation in other areas), we don't know exactly where the wash is.
Every regulation takes from production, and transfers it to compliance.
FYI, this is neither "good" nor "bad", it just is. Some regulations are needed, others just get in the way, duplicate other regulations, run counter to others etc. The fact that we rarely look at the consequences for regulations, and make adjustment, enhancements, and revoke so very few ineffective ones is my actual frustration in the whole process.
I would suggest that the idea of "papers" is expanded to include all forms of "electronic records" owned or controlled by the Citizen. If My letter to my wife is on paper or electronic version thereof, the effect is the same. The media shouldn't matter.
Cell Phones are "papers" in effect, even if they aren't made of literal paper.
citation needed for lots of political claims, including "black people can't find the DMV" or "Hispanics can't afford a free ID" and "Poor people can't figure out how to navigate how to get an ID, even though it is required for just about everything in society today, including getting government benefits"
But I don't see anyone crying "citation needed" every time some liberal is crying wolf... "Children are certainly going to die!!!"
The choice is "binary". Either it is a Treaty, and has legal binding, or it is an agreement to agree (basically meaningless) having no real consequences.
Either way, there is no reason for the apoplectic nature of the "Trump is ruining the world!!" hyperbole.
If It was a "treaty" then the Constitution says the President had no authority to sign the treaty, and the US is not a party to the Treaty, or it is a worthless Accord, that has no real power to do anything, and it was for appearances only.
And the left has figured out that it is both, and neither, depending on their need at that moment.
I work for a school district, and we get a couple "bomb" threats every year, usually during Testing/Finals at the High Schools. You know what I don't care about, privacy when you're committing a crime. Kind of like how we imprison people when they are convicted.
Trying to catch a bomb threat (real or imaginary) is fine, as long as due process doesn't fail. "We got a bomb threat, we want the records of that phone call."
The sad thing is, I am pretty sure there is a VAX virtual machine out there that runs (emulates) a VAX on standard PC hardware, and is actually more efficient, than the actual VAX is.

That Damn Constitution thing is in the way... again.
So, what you're saying is that the Paris Accords was a Treaty, and never properly ratified by the Senate, and we should just... ignore the Constitution because it is a silly document that secures our country and rights. And who needs silly things like rights and laws when there is GLOBAL WARMING!!
Globally? You queried the 2 billion people in China and India on Global Warming? I'll lay dollars to donuts that Most of the world couldn't give a rats ass about "Global Warming" because they are more concerned with "hunger", clean water and abject poverty to give a shit about anything more than two days out.
Global Warming is a first world concern, and even there, most of the people are blindly following what their leaders are saying. America hasn't succumbed yet to the idea that some Elitist in some far away city knows whats best for me.
Yes, the world is much bigger than the US. It is bigger than the 1st world countries in fact. Most of the world is suffering from dictatorships and elitists, and poverty.

Everything is "politics" until it disturbs their worldview. And then cognitive dissonance occurs.

Yawn. Another AC chickenshit liberal using the standard liberal playbook. YAWN

It is systematic, because it is allowed without question, because of orthodoxy of thought.
Q.E.D.
The most racist people I know are do good liberals who are trying to save colored people. Like Whiteplaining why black people can't use cell phones.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
They think they aren't racist because they are trying to "help" people of color.

Not sure how well it works.
You just explained why socialism always fails, eventually. Thanks for proving the whole Global Warming is a socialist play.
