  1. USA is a Republic and oldest existing Govt on Voting Machine Manual Instructed Election Officials To Use Weak Passwords (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks for all the advice, rest of the world, but we're good here. It's nice you've finally figured out how to run your countries. Keep in mind that there are many, many years between the founding of our countries current governance and the founding of your current government. It's not even close.

    If and when this government topples, then you, the rest of the world, can compete to see which of your governments last as long.

Unfortunately that is the state of criminal justice in the USA. The person who is most responsible will get a better deal then the other two morons in the story, one of whom was the intended victim.

    We really need to stop trying to classify each sicko in our society as a political operative. It's ghoulish to take a tragedy and try to make political hay out of it.

    Also, you don't know who is shipping bombs nor their motivation (unless it is you!).

  5. CO2 - Carbon - Energy ??? on Earth on Pace For Fourth-Warmest Year on Record, NOAA and NASA Say (weather.com) · · Score: 1

    What energy? Are you talking upwelling IR, or IDK, just talking out of your posterior? First it was Carbonic Acid, then CO2, then Carbon, now you're trying to convince people it is energy? It's not energy, it's the byproduct of energy.

    Look kiddies, Uncle Al didn't invent the internet. He voted for funding a government program. He never said no to any government programs so taking credit for the one that worked is the way creepy Uncle Al thinks. The earth doesn't have a fever. The added warming is 5-10% of the overall greenhouse effect, and if we didn't have the other 90-95% we would all be Eskimos or living on the equator. The effects of CO2 are logarithmic and are bounded by negative feedbacks. Otherwise our rodent ancestors would never have survived past epochs when there was even more CO2 in the atmosphere.

    Other planets and moons are just gravity wells that future inhabitants will need to climb out of. We need to learn to survive in space. If we do that, we have a shot at long term survival. Otherwise, we are just waiting for the next extinction level impact.

    "We often hear lamentations that the coal stored up in the earth is wasted by the present generation without any thought of the future, and we are terrified by the awful destruction of life and property which has followed the volcanic eruptions of our days.

By the influence of the increasing percentage of carbonic acid in the atmosphere, we may hope to enjoy ages with more equable and better climates, especially as regards the colder regions of the earth, ages when the earth will bring forth much more abundant crops than at present, for the benefit of rapidly propagating mankind."

    Thanks for the edit, but most adults, and even some children, can do this on their own, usually while in the act of reading.

    Interesting that your sig is labeling anyone who uses the term SJW a fuckwit. I almost self-edited that out. But that's okay cause being consistent is not in any way a trait of progressives.

  13. 3 asians and 2 brown people is not racist. Not all asians and not all brown people are the same race. There may be more than 5 races represented there as 'muricans love to intermix.

    I doubt any other country is more diverse.

  14. This is just sound and fury before the midterms signifying nothing. The MSM has already proven that it will print outright lies (see Harry Reid calling out Mitt Romney for never paying income taxes). This is just more of the same.

    So, according to mister AC someone printed something, gave it to an intermediary to put on the President's desk, then the AC stole the print out from the desk and that worked? Did the person who printed it and the other person who put it on the President's desk do no follow up? Was the President not informed before hand that there would be a document for him to sign? Were there no other stake holders to follow up about the document? How many people have access to the President's desk and wouldn't someone else notice the AC stealing the document?

    No, I'm sorry to say that this does not pass the smell test. This sounds more and more like just innuendo and third hand reporting that will disappear and never be commented on again.

  15. The Harry Reid test on Twitter Says Trump Not Immune From Getting Kicked Off (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    Are they reporting on something someone said? Okay, then list how far away the person saying the thing is from the actual thing.

    Example:
    Harry Reid said, and I'm paraphrasing here, 'Someone told me that Mitt Romney has never paid taxes'.
    The headlines read 'Mitt Romney has never paid taxes, says Senate Leader'.
    Technically this is kind of true although they left our the 'Someone told me'. All of the news was about Mitt Romney not paying taxes. No one asked who might have said this complete false hood to Harry Reid. Was it Romney's accountant? That would be a story and the end of the accountants career. Was it an IRS agent? That would be a story and the start of the agents career as a Democratic martyr.

    But trot out the canard that reality has a liberal bias.

  16. Harry Reid and Mitt Romney's Taxes on Trump Accuses Google of Rigging Search Results To Favor 'Bad' News About Him (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I would say that Dingy Harry started this mess. He used his position as majority leader of the Senate to smear the opposing party's presidential candidate. All of the major news outlets ran the story for several days using the same format:

    "Harry Reid says 'Mitt Romney has never paid income taxes'".

    Everyone new this was false, everyone. But it dominated news cycles for days and when Mitt did release his taxes, the news outlets barely covered it having moved on.

    This is beyond fake news and it has only gotten worse. Now it's all 'they said, he said, that he might' BS every day.

  20. Exactly on The Expensive Education of Mark Zuckerberg and Silicon Valley (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why is no one in a tizzy about all of the many carefully planned protests for illegal immigration? That's 12 million unregistered foreign agents currently in country, actively demonstrating for governmental action. Mueller would call it a conspiracy and start issuing subpoenas, if they were Russians and helped the current narrative that Hillary should have won.

    Go back a little further and notice no one complained when the Soviets were sending millions to fund the anti-Vietnam war effort. The Soviets sent more money to the US left during the Vietnam war then they did to the Viet-Cong. Not a whataboutism, just trying to educate.

    The press has more to blame for 2016 by giving Donald so much screen time and then declaring Hillary the victor when the votes hadn't even been cast. Their certainty in a landslide probably did more to suppress the vote than anything else.

    Too much hypocrisy in all of this. Too much irony as well, but it is bitter. Hillary lost twice by not understanding the process. She lost to Barrack in her first Presidential nomination run by not realizing how delegates get counted, which she fixed in the stupidest possible way in her second run. Then she lost to Donald because she couldn't grasp how the electoral college works.
