That's a bit extreme. I'd expect him to be arrested for (whatever federal law applies), charged, tried and imprisoned for the rest of his life. If whatever he did wasn't illegal I would expect congress to impeach, the senate to try him for high crimes and then dismiss him from the presidency.
I believe in the rule of law and no one being above it. I don't want vigilante justice.
Yes we did and we should be fucking called on it. Argentina and Peru were fucking tragedies with tactic approval and assistance by the US. But if you continue to blame us for previous actions and act as if that's what we are still doing you are being dishonest.
We haven't done what we did to your country for several decades and I don't think we ever will again. The filibustering that happened in Guatemala was far worse than what happened in Argentina, and it would be equally stupid to blame current Americans for those actions as well.
All nations do terrible things, the question is if they learn from them. I'm proud of how we handled the Arab spring, we could have easily done what we did to Peru and Argentina but we choose to honor our values instead (even if in the long run its bad for our interests) and I'm frankly proud that we've made that step.
Morsi was a Member of Parliament in the People's Assembly of Egypt from 2000 to 2005, and a leading member in the Muslim Brotherhood. He became Chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) when it was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in the wake of the 2011 Egyptian revolution. He stood as the FJP's candidate for the May–June 2012 presidential election.
Morsi was first recruited to the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States while studying for his PhD in engineering at the University of Southern California.
Morsi rose within the Brotherhood ranks, becoming a member of its powerful Guidance Bureau in 1995.
I can't find the source but I remember reading that Morsi is the 4th or 5th highest ranked brotherhood member. Yes he was the brotherhood's second choice for president, because he's not the highest ranking member. He has sworn oaths of fealty to the Egyptian brotherhood leader.
So everything you said was either a fabrication or a outright deception. Are you a propaganda agent or just an idiot?
If you truly believe what you wrote you have no idea the steps Morsi was taking.
The brotherhood was inserting their members (who swear loyalty oaths to the leader) into every single government leadership position (including the ironic one of putting an Islamic leader responsible for the killing of tourists in charge of the main tourist area). In addition the brotherhood had begun inserting themselves into the military by insisting their members be appointed to ranking positions within the military.
The plan was to replace all the civil, democratic and military leadership with Brotherhood members. With a constitution that gave legal overrides to clerical leadership, all major positions dominated by brotherhood members and the upper military leadership in the hands of the military could you honestly say they didn't appear to be building a dictatorship under the guise of democracy?
Morsi and the brotherhood took over almost every civil institution and he had started the work of replacing the military leadership when the populace reached the point of no return and the multiple million people protests took place. The military leadership at that point had a public mandate to stop it.
Is it a coup? Yep. Did the people want it? Yea, almost everyone except for the 20% of the population that considers themselves Islamist. Can they form a working country without that 20%? I doubt it. Consensus and deal making is what will create a stable Egypt, until they realize that on both sides (military and Islamist) they won't go anywhere.
Revolutions are dirty slow things. The US revolution was super fast in that it only took a little more than a decade for a stable republic to start, and even then we had a civil war later because of unresolved issues the founders left for later generations to sort out. The French revolution was nearly 100 years of royalty, foreign invasion, emperors and failed republics before the modern French republic was birthed from the ashes. If Egypt can pull of a stable republic in 5 years they'll beat the odds. It's silly of anyone to think they are going to get it right on the first try.
It takes a long time for everyone to realize you can't sideline minorities and that everyones voice needs to be heard in government. The islamists sidelined the Christians and secularists. The Military is sidelining the Islamists. This will likely go back and forth a few times. Morsi outright lied in his campaign about what he would do. He couldn't win anything at this point because everyone knows the brotherhood will say anything to get elected.
I pity the Egyptians, without Tourism they can not survive financially, there will be bread riots at some point in the future and it's going to be bad. Starving people are very destructive.
Maybe you should step off your partisan rant and realize GW Bush started the whole signing statement craze where he would basically rewrite the law with his signing statement. Obama is continuing his tradition just as every president continues the expansion of powers of the previous administration even if they campaigned against said powers.
So the question is when Bush was signing bills and saying he interpreted the law to mean exactly the opposite of what the law said were you as up in arms about it as you are with Obama? Because from what I've seen, while I abhor what Obama is doing by ignoring these laws, he's not doing it nearly as often as Bush and almost everyone I met railing against Obama fully supported Bush when he did exactly the same thing. Personally I think they are both full of shit.
It's nice you know so much about their system from a single sentence. I especially like the fact that in particular you know so much about their system that it was accessible by anyone other than the loan officer and that you are so certain a virus not only was on their system but that it could scan for SSNs, including of course from scanned documents in PDF format (in other wise a bitmap image).
Do you often speculate so egregiously about something you do not even know the anything about?
You act as if you know intimate details of their IT configuration, security procedures and even employee reliability and you don't even know who the bank was (let alone anything else).
Honestly if I have to worry about the broker (who also happened to be a bank) having employees that are going to run off with my SSN then whether or not the transmission was secure is of little importance. I might add that just because you did it hard copy the same rambling risks you listed still applied to you or do you honestly believe the paper copies you received were the only copies ever made or that those same documents in electronic format weren't stored on their servers?
If they need the information they should have a secure way to receive it. I just refinanced, the broker had a secure site (SSL password protected file vault type interface hosted on their own servers) with a web interface that I could upload documents to.
If they don't have such a system in place already and routinely request and access peoples personal information your trust is severely misplaced.
I'd mod you up if I had the points. eBooks were growing like mad up until Apple caused prices to triple. When prices went above those of dead trees most people that looked at eBooks decided the value wasn't there and the they stopped selling them to new people (people that made the investment on a reader kept buying eBooks).
If prices come back down now that the Apple price fixing is over the market will likely rebound but this is the damage Apple and the publishers did. They set the market back probably a decade by driving cost conscious purchasers away, and it's going to be a long time before those people look at ebooks again.
There is nothing more right wing than claiming the press favors democrats. There are two sets of press, those like MSNBC that favor the democrat view and those like Murdoch properties like Fox News that go out of their way to advocate the republican party line. In the middle are those companies like CNN that are after rating and don't give a damn about content, including whether it's even factual. These middle organizations generally have individual reporters with extreme bias, like Nancy Grace who advocates for government authority regardless if that authority benefits republican or democrats.
Frankly there are almost NO news organizations that care about presenting all the issues and trying to remove reporter bias. They don't exist because (stupid) people want their "news" (or entertainment as Fox calls it) biased to their political view point. There are a couple vary rare organizations that still strive for that, but they have terrible ratings.
If you want it you need two things first, people to actually demand unbiased coverage (the biggest requirement) and to monopolize the coverage, and that means breaking up the big networks. The more competition in coverage and the less central control by large egomaniacal CEO's with agendas and you will see less bias, but that would require reinstating the ownership rules that the republicans works so hard to waive so Murdoch could build his empire.
Individual pollution is the most insidious. It's the hardest to regulate, the hardest to reduce and frequently involves far more pollution than large polluters. For example, 10,000 cars (as an example, I don't know the actual number) generate more pollution than a big coal fired power plant and because the power plant is a point source it's far easier to regulate and clean. Non-point source emissions are in fact usually the biggest polluters. This is why your local dry cleaner is heavily regulated because individually their pollution isn't huge but when you add up the thousands in a state they are polluting more than major industrial sites with 20x the employment and resources used.
Now I'm not defending either argument in this topic, simply pointing out that individual pollution isn't a big deal is a bunch of horseshit. LA has an air pollution problem on Saturday and Sunday caused by the use of lawn mowers and 2-cycle trimmers (which combined often pollute more than a car). Non point source (individual) emissions are frequently the largest polluter in any community.
The Romans brought plenty of peace, they did it by conquering and subjugating people at force of arms but afterwards there was plenty of peace as long as you didn't rebel or hurt a roman in any way.
He'll have exactly the same problem with the older hardware. Vendors don't produce drivers for new OS's once the product is legacy and 15 years guarantees there is not a single driver for a 64bit windows OS. Microsoft and their vendors enforce an upgrade cycle for older products by refusing to produce drivers for older products. Linux gets around this because once the driver is produced it's generally carried forward forever.
I've got several scanners that only work under Linux (and Windows 95/XP) because the vender and Microsoft will never produce a driver that works with a modern windows.
The US officially protects the Japanese with their nuclear weapons, this has been official US policy since WWII. In political science parlance Japan is under the Nuclear Umbrella of the US. In other words they are a country on a very short list that the US will defend with Nuclear weapons.
It's Chinese colonialism. They are doing EXACTLY what the Europeans did. Just like the Europeans the Africans will be happy to allow them until they realize none of the jobs are going to them and that the infrastructure is simply to facilitate resource exploitation, just like the Europeans.

They will never ever make money on the XBOX, by the time they start making money on the console it's time to replace the console with a newer version, and that's after they dragged the refresh cycle out 3 years longer than the previous cycles.
If I was a shareholder I would be livid, that money could have been put into share purchases or dividends for far more return to the owners.
And you can challenge them on the spot and through the process if they won't follow the rules.
Three Civil engineers were building a large retaining wall on one of their property. The inspector showed up and said you can't build walls higher than 4 feet tall without a plan and inspection every few feet. The engineer who's property it was grabbed a sketch that was nothing more than line on paper, grabbed his seal and stamped and signed the "design plan" handed it to the inspector and informed the inspector that private inspection of the wall would be handled by the 3 on site engineers. The inspector called his boss who came out and told him to shut up.
Regulation is there to protect future owners of the property. You build the house wrong or don't follow code and you can end up killing someone. That inspection prevents you from being charged with homicide later. Inspection is a good thing even if some of the jackasses in the business are just that.
If the law itself is bad abiding the law itself is bad. That's what's called civil disobedience. By forcing the government to prosecute these people they draw issue to the law and seek to get it changed. But they still get punished in the interim period till public opinion shifts and the law it revised.
Anyone that has worked for a major government contractor probably has had training that dealt with whistle blowing. When I took it they went out of their way to point out (by going over every major whistle blowing incident) that 90+% of whistle blowers end up in jail, at the very least until public opinion shifts. That's the choice when you decide to bring wrongdoing to the public in violation of oaths and agreements. I personally think that should change but that is the reality, the vast majority of whistle blowers go to jail and before they make the choice to go forward they need to come to terms with that fact. Manning will go to jail, hopefully the judge will be lenient and he'll only lock him up for 5 years. Snowden will go to jail unless he's willing to spend the rest of his life in some authoritarian regime that likes antagonizing the US government.
As I said, the only question is whether you think their good outweighs the bad they did and what kind of punishment/reward is involved. If enough people support their actions inevitably any prison term they serve will be short.
Snowden also leaked valid foreign espionage to the targets of that espionage. Both did good things and both of them did bad things. The only question is did the good outweigh the bad.
Yes I can, it would be on the back of the engine and would require a special tool only sold by the dealer to open the door and would likely require the removal of the starter motor and timing belt/chain to access and for bonus points someone like Porsche would require removal of the head gasket to reach the port.
Putting it within 2 feet of the driver was smart, it should have had the additional requirement to be within 6 inches of both the radio and climate controls because if they had everyone would notice some strange object plugged into the port.
