Free speech is one thing the US has in abundance. You can say pretty much whatever you want and the worst that will happen is that people will turn on you and exercise their power of speech back at you. It might cost you your job in certain incidences but you can be sure the government really isn't paying any attention to it. The government really doesn't give a shit what you have to say.
I don't know what this sugar configuration they've come up with tastes like so I can't compare but if it tastes the same as their regular sugar then that is a big improvement over splenda. Splenda is an excellent sugar substitute but it's doesn't taste like sugar.
I'm happy for you. Just because you enjoy it though is no reason to sabotage the life of everyone else. I've no problem with you carrying your card around, leave my cash alone.
I think most Trump supporters loved her calling them Deplorables. They embraced it and made it theirs. You see all kinds of them on twitter with DeplorableDave or DeploarableJenny or whatever. It gave them something to rally around, it was a mistake. It's funny how shit like that can backfire and blow up on you. If you want some entertainment though I suggest you follow Trump on twitter. It's a hoot. Not just the crazy shit he tweets but he has thousands of followers and some of them are off the chain. Between the ones spewing all kinds of anti-muslim slogans and then the haters that come there to bitch and moan to Trump like he even cares what they have to say. Trump knows where the line is and he stays clear of it but his supporters and haters stomp all over that line. It's entertaining to see what ppl rant about. Better even than/.
I spent some time in Europe. 3 years in Germany and almost 2 in Spain. I was amazed at how they lived over there. It was fun to visit and live there but I can't imagine things running that way here. The people in the US are far different. Europeans seemed more civilized. The difference in how they act on public transportation couldn't be more telling. I enjoyed it there but it always felt alien. I guess I am a barbarian at heart.
There is a clear process to amend the Constitution. That is how things are done under the rule of law. When you circumvent the rule of law by activist judges then you open us all up to craziness. Yeah you like your activist judge but how are you going to like mine? Having the definition of the 2nd and 1st and 4th amendments change according to which judges are currently serving in SCOTUS is a real problem. I barely agree with the "yelling fire in a crowded theater" exception to the 1st amendment. I certainly don't like what the past two administrations, one left wing and one right, have done with the 4th amendment and how the court has upheld that. What the fuck does a "secret" court and "secret" warrants have to do with a free society? God damn Bush and his "Patriot Act." And God damn Obama for continuing to support it.
I like the Bill of Rights as written. The right to free speech, the right to bear arms, the right to not be required to testify against yourself, these are so fundamental that even though the founders considered them obvious they had the foresight to put it in writing so that it would endure. Obviously that was a brilliant foresight. The one problem is the way the 10th was skirted. The Feds have assumed all kinds of powers they should never have been given. Free speech even protects the burning of the flag despite the fact that Mr. Trump doesn't think it does. He will find out if he's foolish enough to try to ban it. I support things like flag burning even though I abhor the practice and the people that partake of it. To deny their freedom would be to deny my own.
I think he's inferring that denial of science is biased based on the perceptions of the person doing the denying. People who drive an F350 King Ranch Ford Pickup are more likely to deny climate change. Stoners are more likely to deny Marijuana causing a lowering of blood flow to the brain. I suppose there could be some overlap in those two examples.
Ah, a Libertarian. I thought Gary Johnson was a poor choice for the Libertarian party. He had all the charisma of a dead fish. If they had chosen someone with a personality I think this might have been the year they could have at least made a showing.
That's interesting. I saw an estimate to store 1PB for 1000 euro from 2014. I assume it probably is cheaper in 2016. Facebook is storing over 200PB. It's staggering to think about. I remember Washington University in St. Louis was upgrading to a 1 TB RAID setup back in the early 90's and it was going to cost around 100 thousand dollars. I just bought a 256GB thumb drive for about what 4 boxes of 5.25" Dual Density floppies used to cost me. It makes my head hurt to think about.
The president does not have absolute power. Read the Constitution, the position of POTUS has clearly stated authority within limits. He's not an autocrat. Castro was an autocrat. Even Putin isn't an autocrat.
Sorry, the guy I replied to actually said scrub the web, not the internet. My bad. My point is he's only the President. He has influence and power but it's limited by the Constitution. He says a lot of crazy shit and then he ends up doing none of it. He's been playing a reality show on a grand scale for a couple of years. I don't give a shit what they do with their servers, personally I think redundancy is a good thing. Telling everyone they're doing it because of Trump is sensationalism.
The only thing you might be right about is the SCOTUS appointments. They are likely to be heavily conservative. Given the choice between far left judges that want to reinterpret the Constitution to mean what they want it to mean thus usurping the legislative branch and the far right who interpret the Constitution exactly as it's written I think I'll take far right. Sure I'd like some Judges like those Reagan appointed but it seems there are no more moderate appointments. We either get far left or far right nowadays.
I think any single one of the crowd of Republicans that ran for the nomination could have beaten Hilliary. How the Democrats could have been so stupid as to run someone with that much baggage is beyond me. She was under an FBI investigation during the primaries and all the Benghazi crap etc. She was sure to have massive problems in an election where even a huge number of the people that voted for her thought she was a crook and a liar. It was like she had something on the DNC or something where they had to support her. It was crazy. My favorite video clip was the one where a Democrat in Florida running for some office was talking to a room full of Democratic supporters. Democrats now! Who when he said that Hillary was honest the room fell out laughing. If Rubio had won the nomination he'd have run away with it. She would have carried maybe 5 or 6 states and the popular vote would have been heavily the other way. They got the best chance they were ever likely to have when Trump was nominated.

You fucking idiot. The very fact you can come on this blog and spout your brainless drivel makes you a liar.

I did say it was a great artificial sweetener. I use it a lot. It just doesn't taste the same as sugar.
I used to get into my mother's semi-sweet baking chocolate when I was a child. The ass whipping was worth it. I too like a good dark chocolate.

Welcome to the world of barter.
Nah, he should last at least 12 days.
The MSM are part of the system. Forget that.

You know, if they're really out to screw you, it's not paranoia.

I imagine Ukraine is still a little upset about the millions that were victims of Stalin's USSR.
Cool.

This is your brain on drugs.
Isn't that classified as abuse of alcohol? Adding dihydrogen monoxide should be outlawed.
