Well the truth is we have no clue what a Trump presidency would look like. No idea at all really. It could actually be worse than a Clinton presidency as difficult as that is to imagine. I say that as someone who opposes Clinton. I think younger people are used to crude and filthy language. Words like fuck and pussy would offend my parents generation beyond belief to someone born in the last 20 years. My mother didn't like the term pregnant, preferring the phrase "I'm expecting." You underestimate the damage done by this recording. I think some of it may be wishful thinking on the part of the Trump faithful. This tape cost him a lot of voters. I never have liked him and supported him simply because I thought he'd at least shake things up and I knew the Republican elite were fucking useless. Most of them are owned by the same banks and corporations that own Hilliary. Now I wonder if there was a better option but probably not.
Come on man. We can't just leave that shit lying around and not go clean it up. Greenland doesn't have the money for that and it's really not right. We built that place for our benefit in the Cold War and they were nice enough to let us use the place. It's not good manors to leave a big mess behind.
It was done all the time in the past. No one really considered the consequences in those days. Sure nowadays they'd know better but even so the military only cares about two things, war and preparing for war. I feel that we should go back and clean it up though, it's not right to leave it to Greenland.
Believe it or not there is a significant portion of the conservative right that finds such behavior unacceptable. They aren't basement dwelling neckbeards but little old gray haired ladies and gentlemen that sit in church pews on Sunday and sing hymns about Jesus. You can demean them and sneer at them all you want but there are still a significant number of them and they all vote and they all vote Republican.....normally. They were willing to put up with much of Trump's crap but this is over the line. He lost a chunk of those people. I'm sure they could never bring themselves to vote for Hilliary but they wont be voting Trump either. He's done.
I'm pretty sure Trump is done. That thing about grabbing pussy did him in with a lot of the conservatives that normally would have voted for him due to their mutual hatred of Hilliary. Now they'll either vote for Johnson or write someone in or just not vote for president at all. He's sure to lose failing something truly earthshaking. It does set the stage for a horrific presidency. Her opposition in Congress will use these leaks to beat the hell out of her for the next 4 years. Her presidency is damaged before it starts and the real backlash will be 2 years from now when Congress will become vastly more conservative than it now is. I imagine there's an excellent chance the Republicans will have veto power over anything she wants to do from that point on.
The should have released this stuff when she was running against Bernie. This isn't going to change any minds now. Everyone knows now what she is and they're voting for her because of Trump or voting for Trump because of her. The stage was set weeks ago and the only thing that would change it now is absolute proof she killed someone. That's probably worth 5 or 6 points in the polls.
They caught someone? They have an actual name? We know they got hacked, but do they actually know who did it? All I've heard is "sources say." As far as any proof we seem a little short on proof.
What's your point? Do you think the planet can support an unlimited number of people? 7 billion people who all want to live at the same level as the average first world citizen? Use a comparable amount of resources? Food isn't really a problem today other than actually getting it to starving people. However billions of cars and houses with A/C and swimming pools and all the other stuff of modern life taxes the planet's resoucrces much more than some people living in a hut alongside a river. I don't subscribe to "the sky is falling" group of climate change evangelists but certain facts are hard to deny. The current level of industry on Earth is causing heating of the planet. This will obviously continue as there will be no real change in output. It's a problem, not the end of the world but it will most likely cause a lot of strife down the road. And people will continue to breed and the population will continue to grow. People being people you can be absolutely certain that war will happen and it'll be all the worse for it having been so long since the last big one. I imagine population growth will cease to be such a huge problem after that.
Not really. I know a family member who ran up over 100 grand in medical bills. He recovered and found out he was to live. He ended up filing bankruptcy and all that debt magically disappeared. This is what usually happens to ridiculous bills but hey! They get to write that off on their taxes. The amount his insurance company paid was probably sufficient for the actual costs but this way they get to dodge the tax man.
I've never used the trackpad on any PC laptop I've owned for anything other than desperation. They range from bad to fucking useless. On the other hand every Apple laptop I've ever owned had a trackpad that worked wonderfully. I always wondered why but I guess it's because Apple designed both the trackpad and the drivers and the OS. I'm guessing that's what Microsoft wants to do. The only way for them to fix some of the shitty features in the PC world is to get more involved in the hardware.

We we're using Apple Maps, it's not our fault.
And billions of parents as well.
Yes, I noticed that right after I posted it. I was waiting for someone to point it out.

He should be eligible for parole in somewhere over a hundred years.
I thought y'all were putting murderers in the ground out in Texas? Considering what US jails are like that's probably kinder than a life sentence.
I think some of those vikings had a twisted sense of humor. Iceland is mostly green and Greenland is mostly ice.

Kennedy was fortunate enough to live in an era when hot mikes were not much of a problem. And the press didn't hate him either.

It's clandestine because someone is using a computer to do it. That's the definition now.
Oh come on. Where have you been?
It's unproven until someone proves it, that's how it's unproven. Jeez! Think much?

Honestly having enough food is the least of the problems with too many people on the planet.
Leave him alone with his paranoia.
Some people just suck the joy out of everything.
Maybe we could install a thermostat. Then we could fight over what temperature we should keep it on. I vote for 72 (Fahrenheit of course).
They figure you're going to buy a real mouse to use instead.
