    I think you can make the case that there are some indie games out there (still paid devs) and some open source utilities, but usually commercial software surpasses the volunteer stuff.

    I wasn't saying Biden violated the hatch act.

    I was saying Biden was explicitly politicizing something widely understood to not be political and the media loves that, but on the other food (a Republican crossing a technicality to do something the general public approves of - campaigning) they are met with derision and sanctimony.

    The Logan act and the Hatch Act have been decried a LOT especially lately because they are based on the flawed and ugly premise that government can just stop politicians from being political by brute force regulation. Whoever believes that needs to revisit Locke/Hobbes and then let the voters decide who is worthy of the office.

    The alternative is some measure of autocracy. Bleh !!

    "Some of those keywords matched with Tea Party groups"

    No !!! No no no!

    "Tea Party" WAS the keyword. That's why moderate Boehner was insisting on prison for those involved.

    A mea culpa from a low level lady in the IRS is highly insufficient on behalf of voters who don't want autocratic government corruption.

    "The law exists so that people can not use their government position to influence elections. The violation is not a technicality."

    Guess who doesn't care if a Republican tells people to vote for other Republicans while they are on the clock. Voters.

    Meanwhile DACA is getting rammed down as an executive order.

    This by comparison is technicality extremo.

    "The Senate vote to confirm a nominee is not an election."

    Originally I said it was a vote. You responded saying it wasn't an election. I didn't introduce the word "election".

    "'We' don't vote for federal judges."

    I meant that to say Biden was saying to his fellow Senators, "We" should vote for the guy if he's a solid D.

    You are raising a technicality here that I understood already.

    "Keep in mind the scummy Clinton Foundation donations are not actually a campaign donation."

    Way too nuanced. Indicates inconsistency.

    "Invite him to speak but leave off his title, and it's not a violation."

    So perhaps the headline should be ammended to say, "Technicalities were violated !!"

    OK. I accept your proposal!

    "The Fairness Doctrine ended in the 1987 [wikipedia.org]."

    True, but the dems fundraise on bringing it back. It has been brought to Congress several times since 1987.

    "turned out the IRS was actually more lenient to tea party groups than left-wing groups"

    Sprinkling "turned out" in there ... nice. So why did Lois Lerner turn herself in over nothing? The internal policy explicitly directed IRS staff to target the tea party affiliated groups. That the NYTimes has an opinion about this absolves nothing ... less than 30% of the US thinks that's an unbiased source. Politico has always been news for belt-way types.

    How do you think the Senate confirms people? Answer: voting.

    If a Republican is "violating laws" by saying Trump should be re-elected *GASP* ... why is Biden allowed to say we should vote for judicial nominees because of their political affiliation?

    The presidential office is widely understood (IMHO supposed to be) partisan and judges are supposed to be non-partisan. But it's OK for Biden to advocate for judges directly and openly based on their political views, but this Republican is apparently not allowed by the media to advocate for Trump.

    It's all political now. The media just needs to grow up and accept that.

    The longer the media gripes about this stupid stuff like Russia and Stormy the longer Trumps approval keeps rising.

    There's widespread preaching about impeaching Trump ... but nobody is able to answer why he should be impeached. The general public (and voters) are noting this. "If that's the best his critics have against him and the economy is taking off, he must be doing something right".

    Good luck taking back the House in November when the president is at 51% and climbing.

    The media's nonsense is a major gift to the GOP. So is Michelle Wolf.

    What about the state department under Obama trading favors with foreign interests for domestic privileges and campaign donations?

    This guy tells people he wants Trump re-elected and that is politicizing the federal government ??? What ??

    Federal law says incumbents are allowed to campaign on military bases. That's because it was expected when the laws were written that people are going to have political views and they are going to fundraise and they are going to run for office !
