1.) North Korea is starving and has no cool toys for the general population.
2.) Things are so bad, it's affecting the military elite.
3.) There's talk of a military coup.
4.) Russia wants to put an oil pipeline into NK and annex the area.
4.) Trump had nothing to do with this. Secret talks have been underway since the late Obama administration. Sending in Pompeo pissed Moon off. Moon has told the United States to go away.
5.) South Korea growth is stunted by US military presence and their alliance with the US. As the US goes isolationist, SK wants to go global. It doesn't need or want the US anymore.
6.) The military/industrial machine is totally pissed, too. When North and South settle things and the war declared officially over, the US prime real estate in that part of the East will diminish greatly.
7.) South Korea's economy would get a massive boost if it could be the landing pad for most of NK goods.
8.) The US is no longer the primary influence for global trends, and as allies step away, SK wants to join in reindeer games.
The clear tactic here (to me, feel free to chime in), whether the DNC has standing or not, is to start the discovery proceeding whereby the DNC lawyers will ask the court for documents, devices, and depositions from all parties (f course, Trump is the target).
If successful, whether the DNC prevails or not, the DNC will get a shit load of free press for a long time to come.
Also, the DNC will be effectively have its "Mueller Investigation," even if Trump kills that process.
... because we already knew about it and we've fixed it.
WE VOTED TRUMP INTO THE WHITE (GLASS) HOUSE
Yes, we targeted Trump and his entire orbit including those guilty of systemic sexual harassment, white nationalism, fraud, blackmail, money laundering, electioneering and, yes, even the people who wouldn't do anything sensible to at least try to reduce injuries and deaths by way of personal handguns and rifles.
We knew that Trump, as a president, would be under the microscope.
The Access Hollywood tape had been around awhile and we wanted that out there.
During the campaign, sure enough, the KKK people took off their hoods! Bonus. Notice that fire is tamped down now, but it's too late. Our LEOs have a year of video and photographic evidence that we have scanned through facial recognition and all your base are belong to us.
Our work has been fruitful.
Think of the many politicians that have met their political demise via exposure of their sexual indiscretions.
Look at Trump's lawyer, Cohen, who is in deep shit.
Look at Hannity. We wanted him and Bill O'Reilly and. we calculated to bring down Fox News and flat-line its bias and influence as fake news. That's a work in progress.
Appreciate that all the work done by lawyers and acquaintances of Trump, intended to shield him from negative press during the campaign, have a dollar value and are categorized as campaign contributions.
In some cases where individuals said they did shit for Trump on their own, the value of the work exceeds the limit of private campaign donation limits.
Cohen created companies in Delaware as a dodge in order to hide the transactions, but the companies did not claim the payout as campaign contribution. That's money laundering and other stuff.

Intelligent, reasonable, people have long asked for implementation of rational firearm regulation.
We were not out to get the guns.
Because more traditional approaches failed to move the needle, (and for other obvious reasons) we decided to pass on Hillary Clinton in favour of Trump.
Our strategy has worked in that gun sales are at record lows and some gun manufacturers are having fire sales because the batshit crazy #2A assholes were gearing up for a Hillary win and the manufacturers over-produced, and have a shit-load of inventory.
Gun maker stocks are down and some are even filing for bankruptcy.
SO, WE DIDN'T TAKE THE GUNS --WE FIXED IT WHERE FEW PEOPLE ARE BUYING THEM
OK, You may applaud now, and thank you for not cheering and yelling during this presentation.
When businesses and their advertisers got their filthy fucking hands on "news," journalism died.
Look: Sensational "news" draws a crowd. Where there are eyeballs, there's money.
We've all seen where PBS and C-Span get ribbed because their news is dry and impartial and uninteresting.
Those two, and others like them, struggle for funding.
Meanwhile, "news" that should be labeled as "entertainment" grabs the cash.
Go look at nyt.com or wapo.com.
Throughout the day, their content doesn't change much.
That's because news doesn't come at us like a goddam gaggle of random noise.
Then go to cnn.com or foxnews.com.
BREAKING: stays up all fucking day long about the same goddam story all day long where very little additional information is available all fucking day long.
I agree with OP: How in Sam Hill can anyone avoid knowing what's going on?

... kill a piss ant.
Discuss the impact of EU websites whose entire business model is collecting and selling EU user data.
Also: How does this impact Google, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and others?
You're missing an important point.
Geofencing is fine for blocking users extant to your area, but it's suicide to block customers inside your fence.
You can't.
Not those; this:
1.) North Korea is starving and has no cool toys for the general population.
2.) Things are so bad, it's affecting the military elite.
3.) There's talk of a military coup.
4.) Russia wants to put an oil pipeline into NK and annex the area.

I think we're going about this all wrong.
Oracle is not a "we."
... infosec. What horseshit.
Uber apparently has no security force in-house.
... where owners don't want to chase down every fine-grain violation -- they want service providers to do that work for them.
How's that working so far?
... and you're welcome and stuff.
... working on the fucking AI shit.
Yeah, did you read where the Democratic Party files lawsuit alleging Russia, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks conspired to disrupt the 2016 campaign?

Thanks.
Fuck
I am familiar with the theory of pasta and anti-pasta, but wow.
You fuddy.
Thank you so much for the reference. I had not seen it. I use that line a lot and now I have a audio/visual aid.
Well played. Pun intended.
... by Stephan Pasta.
... try anti-pasta.
... I can get it pasta my mouf.
... my 401(k) wherein invested it all in Windows fucking Phone!
All gone, you say?
... because we already knew about it and we've fixed it.

I haven't had to use my crank radio and cell phone charger for a disaster (knock on wood), but in tests, I gather it would be a pain in the ass.
You do realize that the original plan was to provide cheap stuff?
A $16 item like that is disposable to you but when it breaks, the indigent are going to have to spend another $16 bucks.
Since you didn't RTFA, you don't know how much it costs to even get the goddam thing shipped to destination.
You're just adding another fail layer to why the fucking idea failed.
And the crank?
Beat me to it.
This.
