    Yeah, no specifics again. Lots of things are "false" (and many other spooky words) but nothing specific. Because that's the way it goes when you're obsessed and angry: other people are bad because ... ... they just are.

  2. The benefits of that economic growth will almost exclusively go to billionaires who contribute to to their campaigns and foundations. So, yeah, they're pretty happy about it.

    Why should she help you? What are you going to do, vote Republican?

    You made yourself a captive and an enabler of a one-party system. Don't be surprised when you end up taken for granted and your concerns are ignored.

    Well that's a poorly articulated, generalized screed. Anyone except you is guilty of something you can't quite describe. You know they're guilty because you're angry and obsessed, and conclusions of others' guilt naturally follow from that.

    If you spend some time not being angry and obsessed, you'll find a lot more people around who aren't enemies.

    The "if you're not with us, you're with the enemy" argument. Congrats on that.

    I think all of you haters should give up your obsession and try to accomplish something that doesn't involve tearing other people down.

    That's the same type of thing the racists and nazis might say. Your excuse for hatred and violence mirrors theirs: "People who aren't like us are doing nasty shit."

    you mean the freedom to be a white supremacist neo-nazi hate monger

    That's what freedom is for. You don't need free speech protections to say what people want to hear.

  9. So the big allegation is that a Samsung didn't announce this for a couple days? Shouldn't they investigate it before issuing a press release?

    Their phones are literally starting on fire. That's bad enough. There's no need to hype it into a big secret conspiracy based on when the announcement occurred.

  10. Snobbery on Why Is Science Fiction Snubbed By Literary Awards? (galacticbrain.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Literary awards are snobbish. Quality in literature is subjective, so awards go to people that award-givers want to award.

    Isn't this obvious?

    The government used it to cause Andrew Sadek to be killed.

  12. And Mashiki fails to note that they were doing so in order to track the process and thus improve their ability to make arrests.

    Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms are all legal. The ATF should be eliminated as a redundant agency.

    The desire to police every human activity by every method available is at least as evil as the desires that drive criminal behavior.

  13. Why are US law enforcement personnel concerned about gun smuggling at all? Gun smuggling is Mexico's concern -- because Mexico doesn't respect the basic human right of self defense in the same way the US has historically respected it.

    US law enforcement should work for US interests.

  14. Did Obama hurt you? The fact is that neither candidate it likely to have much impact on the lives of middle class whites.

    Obama did everything he could so that people like me who work and pay for government paid the maximum amount, while reserving essentially all the benefits of government for his core voters and big money donors. He didn't act like he was President of all Americans. And because of that, America is a lot more divided now than we were before Obama.

    Does taxing group A entirely for the benefit of group B "hurt" group A? Yes, I'd say it does.
    Does dividing neighbor against neighbor "hurt"? Yes, I'd say it does.
    Does doubling the national debt "hurt"? Yes, I'd say eventually it does.

  15. I see no evidence that she actually "hates" them.

    She says that stuff over and over. That's "evidence". If you watch the videos, then you do see it.

    Maybe you meant to say something else that's not literally false?

  16. When politics and government become a circular firing squad, people naturally choose "burn it all down".

    If a tree falls in the woods and no one mentions it on Wikipedia, is it still standing?

  18. Hillary already called almost half the voters "enemies". She doubled down and said many of them were "deplorable", "irredeemable" and "not America".

    If I have to choose between my government hurting others or hurting me, what's my rational choice?

    And why do blacks, Hispanics, and so many other people get a pass for supporting a candidate who so obviously hates many of their fellow Americans?

    What are people supposed to do when the other candidate declares them "enemies"? Flawed as he is, if Trump is your only hope to avoid being treated like an enemy by your country's government, why wouldn't you support him?

    You want the Citizens United decision overturned so people at Buzzfeed and Citizens United can be arrested next time they do this?

    We were told it was wrong, not that it was "against the rules". Where's the outrage about Buzzfeed intentionally doing wrong?

    If the rules change back and Buzzfeed does this again, you want people at Buzzfeed arrested for it, right?

    ... it is hard to imagine anything that might be in his taxes that are worse for him, politically speaking, than not releasing them.

    People don't genuinely care whether he released his tax return. It's all pretense and phony posturing. And it's not news. If he releases the tax return, then the news media/Clinton campaign can spend weeks writing stories/ads about this line and that line. Releasing a return would be a dumb mistake.

    Buzzfeed is a corporation, just like Citizens United is a corporation. We heard it was wrong for Citizens United to spend money to make a political film. Where's the outrage about Buzzfeed spending corporate money against Trump?

    Please post your expressions of outrage here. Unless your outrage was phony. Or selective, partisan outrage. Or you can explain why corporation B can legitimately spend on politics, but corporation C can't.
