The situation is NOT unprecedented.
Quit lying.
Other candidates have lost elections even though the candidate captured a majority of votes.
The system was designed, as the USA Legislative branch, to protect small states from the tyranny of large states. (Much like CA regulations are inflicted on smaller states whose market share is too small.) The prof complains about Wyoming but the Framers of the USA Constitution took an active step to protect Wyoming (though not even a territory at the time) from larger states like New York. The Framers, devising all of our USA Constitution were actually "smarter" than the prof, who himself spent years studying what they ACTUALLY did and accomplished.
As you said, you are NOT a USA person/citizen/American.
CNN and MSNBC have decidedly supported Leftist causes to the detriment of reporting "all" the news.
The reluctance to report concerning the Clinton email scandal (until they were "forced" to report).
The ignoring of the Clinton health question (which could have actually reduced the impact of the reports on her health).
The stated support for Leftist causes.
As a person who can decide what to think, I greatly prefer a non-slanted news report.
MSNBC is much the same but I don't carry the details around in my head.
Trump?
Where did that come from?
Sore Loser, much?
Obama is the POTUS and the legal action was taken under the Regime of Obama.
It has taken some time for the case to wind its way through the courts.
POTUS Obama has refused to pardon Snowden – the "he's not been charged with a crime" excuse.
But POTUS Obama CAN use the Blanket Pardon in Snowden's case, or in Hill's case, or in MInions' cases that avoids future prosecution.
Trump?
Please!
That sounds like the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association here in the USA.
Teacher Unions that, while claiming (at one time) to protect and support student, is now a Teacher Assistance Programs.
Unions are treacherous everywhere now-a-days.
Plus, in the USA, private schools have faced this type of harassment for decades.
Bill and Melinda thought helping educate students would be "fun", "exciting" and "beneficial".
Welcome to the Real World of Adults, Unions, Government Bureaucrats...
Hat! Ha! Loads of fun now.
The VW product was not defective. It worked exactly as expected.
The VW product was illegal but that's a different issue than the one you mentioned.
As an aside, I would want one of these "defective" VW if I was a VW fan looking for a car. All the VWs that I have owned were good cars plus it's cheaper to run than the "restricted" model.
Wow!
Is this why they couldn't "find" Jack the Ripper – they couldn't unlock his cell phone and get the incriminating evidence?
Oh wait, Jack the Ripper didn't have a cell phone.
Then how did the LEOs solve any murder before the use of cell phones?!
Hopefully, Crapper will not get off Scots-free.
Regardless of the valuable work he has, or has not, accomplished for the USA Federal Government, he failed everyone when he lied. He showed himself NOT to a good employee of the USA Federal Government, a patriot or a loyal citizen of the USA. IMHO, he has shown himself to be a dishonorable person. The lying should come with a consequence. Will Obama pardon him also?
Sour grapes from the USA Federal Government.
While the thieve of these emails was illegal, the release of these emails was exactly what the media should do. That's why the USA Constitution recognizes a "freedom of the press". The only pity that I see is that the Media in the USA, by-in-large, ignored these emails after they were released.
If knowledge is Power, then the release of these emails empowers the voters to make a more informed decision. That the USA Federal Government complains that they were "caught" and exposed, it of no consequence in the overall scheme of things IMHO.
It goes with the territory of being a Government. Suck it up Admiral! Man up Admiral!
When I read this line, "The computers were out of the box new", I knew the story was about Windows computers.
Years ago, real computerists considered M$ Windows a VIRUS.
So the pot boys were right 4 of 6 times and wrong 2 of 6 times.
Still better than average.
Absentee ballots are not counted in some jurisdictions if they could not change the outcome of the race.
Eg., 30,000 absentee ballots uncounted where the candidate won by 50,000 votes. This makes sense because absentee ballots are usually paper ballots and recording the votes is labor/time intensive.
Every living person except people with diabetes is in a Pre-Diabetic condition.
Every living person is in a Pre-Death condition.
We really should stop this bullshit with our language.
We really should TRY to be honest with other people and ourselves.
The summary implies that the text receiver is not required to respond to the LEOs' text message. What happens if one does not respond? Does one receive "special attention"? What happens if the LEOs make it a requirement that one respond? What if penalties are imposed on those who don't respond?
Having watched a progression from voluntary participant in governmental activities to required activities, I would not be surprised that mandatory participation would become the norm. A repressive government starts taking more and more of one resources as time goes by. Time is a resource and one already spends too much time in the governments' lines whether actual (like the DMV, DOT, etc.) or virtual (paperwork approval, *mail responses, etc.). I am speaking for the USA. Your country and your mileage may vary.
The head of the company is the daughter of a high-powered Democrat Senator.
The head of the USA Federal Government is a high-powered Democrat President.
That's two reason why a Democrat-led company would receive preferential treatment.
A few years back, the news media called this "Crony Capitalism".
Andy Jackson did this and history books call it the "Spoils System".
To the winner goes the spoils.
To the powerful goes the ability to beat the powerless.
I'm surprised the Feds decided to do anything about this situation.
The Fuze video is outrageous, funny and Great!
So many cultural and pop-cultural references that it delights and overwhelms my mind.
Were I getting an iPhone 7*, I would sign up for one of these!
Creativity should be rewarded and the video is quite creative.
Kudos!
The Summary quote is that an income tax deduction for 50% of the labor of the repair. You didn't mention that and it might be a significant amount depending on the Swedish income tax structure or it might be enough for people to repair their gadgets.
I take it that you have never actually read the book of Leviticus.
In any English version, or any Hebrew version, or any other language version.
Had you read the book of Leviticus, you would have realize the utter silliness/rubbish of your "comment".
Leviticus is a book of Hebrew Law. It contains statutes and not stories.

We have a Canon inkjet printer because the HP cartridges seemed to clog easily and need cleaning if we didn't print every day. Since the HP cartridges were relatively large during that time, we tossed a lot of unused cartridges. The Canon has smaller capacity cartridges that are compatibly cheaper (than HP's). So we spend less money and actually have a better printer.
We have a Brother 2340 B&W laser printer that has worked out-of-the-box. No problems and, unlike the other poster, NO ads, etc. We DO use Macs and maybe that's the reasons we don't get ads -- maybe the ads are a Feature brought to you compliments of M$ Windows. I would be glad to take your Brother laser print off your hands!
Quite right!
The USA Federal Government and all the local and state governments HATE competition.
For-profit schools are definitely competitors to the Government Schools and the Governments have a long history to discrimination, bias, and persecution of non-Government schools.
And why not shut the for-profit university that Bill Clinton is paid $18+Million to be the "honorary" chancellor.
In the USA, this would mean MORE administration and MORE bureaucrats.
Higher Taxes too!
I would be surprised if this would reduce the size of government in any country.
In our state, the USA Federal Government wanted the state to start using Medicaid and the state pay the Feds for the extra Medicaid. It was discovered that the state could buy the same insurance policy that the state's employees had for every prospective Medicaid recipient for LESS $$$! The insurance plan was much better than Medicaid and the savings was very notifiable. The USA Federal Government would not permit the state to buy policies for each of the "poor" people and forced the state into a much more expensive plan. This created Federal employees to monitor the state program and state employees to administer the state program. Big win for the Federal Government. Big lose for the "poor" people.

Presidents can pardon people from future prosecution. Why do you think there is such a discussion in the Media about Obama pardoning Hill.

This sorry is "Common Knowledge". In the Research art, it therefore needs no citation. But will the New York Times be acceptable for you?

And those "some people" are Democrats too, right?
