Support for Trump is a first order indicator that you're unable to think for yourself, unless you're alt-right or rich.
"in reality, this russia probe is just the visible death pangs and hysteria of a mono cultural elite"
In reality, various Russian state organizations spent a lot of money to influence the US election and probably succeeded. Member of the Trump Campaign and Administration including the president himself, have repeatedly lied about their involvement with these efforts, and Trump has protected them and even gone so far as to try to shut down the investigation.
Facebook, for its part, has already lied about their role. They actively helped the Trump campaign target their audience, a service they provide for all high-dollar advertisers.
Is his Wikipedia page accurate? If so, then he might not be considered alt-right, but only because he's too crazy to hold coherent views.
Dude made his money in a divorce settlement with his successful ex-wife.
BTW, if you hang around the world long enough, you'll meet plenty of racists who date or even marry white women. Love truly is blind.
Heck, I once worked with a total red neck. Pick up truck with gun rack, the works. He was also the most racist piece of shit I ever met outside the deep South. His girlfriend was Mexican. Beautiful. Black hair, dusky brown skin, almond eyes, accent. This guy tried to convince me she was really a white chick! He did this unprompted, by the way. I never said anything about it.
Old racists like Buckley never could admit that the struggle for equality is a struggle for personal liberty. Your right not to have your kids go to school with black kids (tor that is what the National Review defended at that time) is countered by the right of an actual, individual black kid to go to that same school.
The shear laziness of Burnham's argument is dispiriting.
"Google has absolutely no power to hinder you from launching your own Google-like infrastructure"
They have plenty of power. They have the power to sue. They have the power to buy you up. They have the power to influence legislation. They have the power to head hunt your talent. They have any other power that money might buy, including libel, espionage, sabotage, and murder. Whether they use these powers or not, Google has them.
Brilliant. Lets start a nuclear war now while it'll be small. A lot of powerful people thought like you back in the Cold War. I'm glad they never got to try out their idea.
It's also only recently that thousands of people will gift money to a commercial business. Previously, a company had to sell a product or give away a portion of ownership.
For years literal Nazis didn't round up people and slaughter them en mass. What they did first was destroy the young system of democracy and any kind of factual public discourse. And of course, they did demonize the Jews, prepping society for what was to come.
If we're saying this gravitational lensing is caused by the same type of matter that makes galaxies spin too fast, that would seem to rule out black holes, since they wouldn't separate from stars in a galaxy collision.
"It really isn't an onerous task to obtain an ID and it is needed for so many things besides voting that having the ID is simply a part of being a citizen."
Yes it is onerous Republican legislatures can make it so. In some places you need a chunk of money. In others you have to travel for hours... if you have a car. A lot of these are in Southern states that want to, or already have enacted voter ID laws.
And no, voting ID is not part of being a citizen in a free country. It is part of being subject of a police state. In the US you are a citizen even if you have no ID on you, or own no ID whatsoever.
If Granny wants to live on her farm without ID and without a car, then toddle down to vote in the same church she goes to every Sunday, in a free country she'd get to do that. In your world, she needs to scrape together $60, find someone who will spend all day driving her to Montgomery, come back home and *hope* that the state, in the infinite wisdom of its bureaucracy, determines she's eligible for an ID in time for the election, and that the poll workers don't harass her about it.
Voter ID is not just a distraction. They have NC lawmakers on record saying the surgical nature of the design of these laws in preventing black people from voting isn't racist, it's just that black people vote Democratic. If they voted Republican, Republicans wouldn't target them!
The problem with Florida is that so few people know that Al Gore could not immediately request a full state recount but had to go county by county.
Also, *siding with Gore*, the Florida Supreme Court ordered a state wide recount. As should automatically have happened anyway. This was the decision overturned by the US Supreme Court, and will go down as one of the worst and most damaging in recent decades.
Anyone who takes voting seriously should aware of this, and should question the sources of their information should they have been taught differently.

It's just easy to measure. GP doesn't read like number of words is a goal, just an estimate of the amount of work.

Hmmmm...maybe we should raise the voting age.

What metric would be acceptable to you. Can you come up with one that is an actual metric and feasible?
GP might mean "embedded" in the sense of embedded in a C program as a scripting language.
They have any other power that money might buy, including libel, espionage, sabotage, and murder.
Now you're just being silly.
What do you mean? Do you think people don't do these things? Or that having money doesn't make them easier to do?
Well, he's opening it up in the sense of making the easier stuff cheaper.

We also might try to avoid war all together.

Two.

Slashdot is about 75% conservative whining. Are you new?
You can't blame someone for feeling more virtuous than a Trump voter.
Maybe Foxconn should build it's factory somewhere where people don't expect their neighbors to help out with the schools, roads, police.
By taking huge tax credits, these companies are showing how much they value the communities where their employees live.

You really think those votes were added by people going to the polls a second time?
That depends. How much convincing did Putin need to do to get Don the Con to run?

Would it have mattered if Bush had won his home state of Connectictut?
"Taking the guns of an elderly veteran because of a mistaken Social Security number is a tragedy also, and a crime."
That isn't corruption, it's a mistake.
"Denying a farmer the use of their land to establish a pond for irrigation and livestock is a crime and a tragedy."
Depending on the basis for the denial, that isn't corruption either.
