But as far as I know, Hillary Clinton doesn't that problem, she's already identified Jeremiah Wright.
Yeah, 4 years ago. At this point shit Hillary said 4 years ago is claimed to be racism if Trump says it.
What's amazing to me is that Trump is easily the worst candidate the GOP could come up with - definitely within my life time - and they still have to make stupid stuff up about him. He's bad enough in reality.
It's surprising how this was modded up to 3 or 4, then down to flamebait. Particularly surprising for a post that is entirely factual.
It strikes me that there's a group of people who are finding posts like this that make Hillary look bad and gang up on them. Really weird behavior. It's slashdot, not the front page of the NYT or something.
Not at all, people often read high-end comments and correct what they consider to be pumping instead. But no, it's not actually factual, it's an agenda-based post, with an obvious partisan bias. It's just a random scrawl of "Hey look at these guys, they're racist, and they're Democrats so..." when actually, I can't recall any importance being given to their support, I don't even know that they do support Clinton. Clinton, however, has identified Wright as being akin to David Duke. In 2008.
So...what was the point? That you can name racists who haven't a real connection to Hillary Clinton? Ok...
Yeah, but Duke has a "real connection" to Trump, right?

Have you considered listening to what the big bad Democrats are saying, rather than inventing absurd caricatures? You'll look less ridiculous.
With Black Panthers, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Bill Ayers, Al Sharpton, etc. on the Democrat side it's trivial to find plenty of racist bullshit over there. They're as deplorable as David Duke, yet I don't see Hillary getting all upset about them supporting her.
"We were made to eat meat, that is the bottom line."
To a small degree. Our teeth only have 4 canines, which are the teeth for tearing meat.
Yeah, but we also cook. Get back with me on that when you find a wolf pack with a fire pit.
Our digestive tracts are much longer than pretty much any other carnivore, even carnivores larger than us have drastically shorter digestive tracts, which means that we're more geared towards vegetation with some allocation for meat for our dietary requirements.
Obviously we were made to digest plant matter, but note that our second stomach is a shriveled little thing that we call an "appendix". We've evolved toward meat eating, with the caveat that it has to be cooked.
Looking at primitive tribes around the world we still see that their diet consists mostly of meat.
Saying that life isn't better now compared to 50 years ago for the majority of people is laughable.
To the extent that it's better, it has nothing to do with government. If anything, it's in spite of government. We've poured a trillion dollars into eliminating poverty in the last 50 years and the poverty rate hasn't budged.
You don't mind governments, so long as they only spend money on things that you and you alone think are worth spending money on. So the only form of government that you'll be happy with is one in which you are the supreme authoritarian ruler. You'll forgive the rest of us for not signing up.
Pretty much all zealots are annoying--but I find libertarians to be especially so. They're stupid, they don't know that they're stupid, and they are certain that everyone else is stupid.
You do know that you're a caricature of what he described right off the bat, right?
The stuff that he mentions is actually the few legitimate uses of government. In the USA, the federal government is legally limited to only a few areas, although it has grotesquely outgrown its original mandate.
Police wont do shit to stop you getting robbed. Best you can hope for is they turn up not too long after and give you a crime reference number so you can claim on your insurance if you have any. In America they might turn up quicker on the off chance they get to shoot someone.
I suggest you spend some time in a country that doesn't have a strong police presence and then re-think that statement. In a lot of countries around the world, if you have any significant possessions, you have to live inside of a cage to keep from getting robbed. In America that is the exception rather than the rule.
Yep. And I have a rock that repels tigers. I know it works because I've yet to see a tiger in the neighborhood.
I'll be nice and explain it to you. If you were correct in your assertion, then we would see lower crime in inner city areas that have a far stronger police presence than, say, my affluent little city.
Police officers don't stop crime. They come in afterward and try to clean up the mess, and arrest the perpetrators so that they are unable to easily offend again. While that might stop crime in the future, it doesn't help a guy who is in the process of being robbed.
You know, at this point Wells Fargo needs to go to jail. Yeah, I mean the company. Maybe they can build a huge freaking jail around the headquarters while everybody's at work.
Those laid off should claim that layoffs trigger them and they need a safe space at work. Claim that outsourcing is a microaggression! They should be able to get the process reversed quickly.
Not always. Jared Fogle was suspected because the head of his charitable foundation had already been found with child porn and probably turned on Jared. I don't remember the story and too lazy to look it up. Anyway, they already suspected him when they got the valid warrant, and the dog was used to find his SD cards where he kept his stash of kiddy porn. As far as I know Fogle never tried to claim that he was framed or anything like that.
I'm not pro-Trump. But I'm so tired of the bullshit around Hillary.
Clinton didn't win the lie of the year last year from politifact. That's Trump. In fact if you add up each of their true, mostly true and half of their half true statements, Clinton is at 61% compared to Trump's 22.5%, so Trump tells the truth about a third as often as Clinton does.
And politifact is hopelessly biased. Clinton's lies around the email server scandal easily put her below Trump in this regard.
The whole idea that Trump has all these Russian connections? Sure. So does Hillary. Ever heard of, oh, I don't know, The Clinton Foundation? How much money did they take from Russian interests? Plenty.
Hillary isn't a public servant, any more than Ted Kennedy was a public servant. These people are leeches - big difference.
Again, not advocating for Trump, just tired of this stupid bullshit that makes Hillary out to be something she isn't.
U.S. intelligence officials described the covert influence campaign here as "ambitious" and said it is also designed to counter U.S. leadership and influence in international affairs.
Given what's happened in the last couple of years - from capitulation to Iran to Putin expanding his territory - I can only guess that Barack Obama is in on this secret plot. We're at the point where he's seen as so weak the president of the Philippines is openly mocking him.
Unfortunately, none of those companies had/have a chance without investor money to subsidize their services. Once forced to actually pay their costs, they will have no choice but to raise their rates or go out of business. With Webvan and Pets.com, customers left when the rates went up. Same will happen with Uber.
That said, I'm happy to spend investor's money to save a buck. Use it while it's there!
-Chris
Okay, but what exactly is Uber spending $1.2B on? I ask this seriously. I understand a pets.com scenario where you have to build up inventory and all that - it takes capital up front and you won't get it back quickly. But Uber? They have a $100K app and some rented servers? I mean, I'm missing something *really* big somewhere. I don't see how they can blow that much cash with nothing to show for it.
Why doesn't the FCC just go after Rachel? It cannot be that difficult to track down who's behind it (hint: they advertise on craigslist in Orlando) and sue them into oblivion. I cannot fathom why this hasn't happened yet.

Since then, it's open sourced its Chakra JavaScript engine...
Someone let Al Gore know that they've released their Chakra - as open source software.
Yeah, but Duke has a "real connection" to Trump, right?
Wasn't really the problem.
More an issue that Trump handled it poorly. Trump's amnesia for David Duke..
Even his VP can't do it.
But as far as I know, Hillary Clinton doesn't that problem, she's already identified Jeremiah Wright.
Yeah, 4 years ago. At this point shit Hillary said 4 years ago is claimed to be racism if Trump says it.

Webvan was great. So was Pets.com. So is Uber.
Unfortunately, none of those companies had/have a chance without investor money to subsidize their services.

I think we should also point out that iOS, Andriod, and Windows Phone also account for 99% of all smartphone sales last quarter.
