  1. Re: The Soporific of False Equivalency on Trump Ignores 'Inconvenient' Security Rules To Keep Tweeting On His iPhone, Says Report (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    Vote Beezlebub! He's much better than Satan! And don't give me any crap about both of them being evil incarnate. You have a choice and you damn well better choose the lesser of two evils!

  2. Did anyone actually read the article? The writer complains that Trump does not swap out his Twitter phone as often as an "anonymous source" would prefer.

    The phones are fedgov issued:

    "The president uses at least two iPhones, according to one of the officials. The phones â" one capable only of making calls, the other equipped only with the Twitter app and preloaded with a handful of news sites â" are issued by White House Information Technology and the White House Communications Agency, an office staffed by military personnel that oversees White House telecommunications."

      The reporter then quotes another anon:

    "The White House declined to comment for this story, but a senior West Wing official said the call-capable phones âoeare seamlessly swapped out on a regular basis through routine support operations. Because of the security controls of the Twitter phone and the Twitter account, it does not necessitate regular change-out.â"

    Followed by a bunch of pettifoggery from the President's political rivals.

    I don't think the article quite reaches the level of Fake News. But it's certainly a tempest in a teapot.

    The Constitution is a fine tourist attraction. I saw it once. Long line to get in, old parchment, fancy handwriting - very impressive!

    However, as a talisman to ward off badlaws and tyranny, I feel its power is greatly exaggerated.

    I fear you are quite optimistic. The Democrat face of the Financialist Party is funded and controlled by the same interests that own the Republican face.

    It's not Democrat partisans who favor legalizing weed. It's the entire population of people under 50.

    I'm really really really not sure where you get the idea that Democrat partisans are pro-labor. Twenty years ago they tried hard to give that impression, while voting with the bosses every time. Now they don't even bother with pretending. Mainstream Democrat partisans are openly contemptuous of working people and the challenges we face.

    I just don't see how disarming the masses is going to make a repressive police state any less repressive. In fact it seems certain to have the opposite effect. Law enforcers act like brutal thugs because badlaws allow them to do it, and the kangaroo courts pretty well actively encourage it.

    Please don't misinterpret - I don't think the Republican dogs are a damned bit better. I like President Trump's personal style, and some aspects of his public policy. But alas I doubt he will leave much lasting positive change.

    Look, I know the MBAs sold us out. They shipped half the jobs in the software industry to India. Then lied to Congress so they could import hundreds of thousands of Indian indentured workers to drive down wages for the remaining domestic software jobs.

    So definitely, let's see the rich private school Progressive capitalists as enemies of the people. But we don't need to be racist towards our Indian brethren. Have you never even once met a *nice* Indian person? I have, many times. They, like us, are but pawns in a bigger game.
