    Trump will get through this term just fine. Despite all the ramblings from foolish democrats they are not going to impeach him. Really democrats, you should write these representatives and tell them knock it off. It used to be funny, now its just sad.

    As for Trump going for a full 8 years, I predict there is a 50/50 chance of that happening. I'm betting there is a 50% chance he will not run again in 2020. Then again, Trump has to much of a ego not to do round two.

    Now lets poke some SJW. If Trump does run in 2020 as he currently stands he will win by a land slide. Simple because once you separate the personality from the president he is doing a pretty decent job.

    Honestly, I can say I'm about to stop giving a damn ether way and say we just toss all them out. Trump, Clinton, Ryan, the funny lady with the James Brown haircut, and etc etc etc. Clean house, remove all congress and both parties. Hell get rid of the parties. too. We can put the janitor in charge till we reelect new officials.

  4. You act like that matters. They are 700 coal plants that where not there yesterday. They will add to the carbon emissions of the plant and it won't matter if they are in China or Timbuctoo. What matters is they are not US power plants.

  5. If that is so then you should recognize China first. China's CO2 emissions are several times that of the United States. China where they plan to build 700 new coal plants in the next few years.

    Then you have India who's carbon emissions grew by 5% in 2015. In fact a 2016 report by the EIa shows that 68% of the worlds CO2 emissions will come from third world countries, and will largely be driven by China and India.

  6. Until Republicans are screaming "helbb helbb!" with water up to their noses, they won't believe and won't do squat about it.

    So lets be clear here. You want to blame all this on a relativity small group of people, compared to the rest of the worlds population. In a country where CO2 and other all pollutants are on a downward spiral. A small group of people that only got power in the last 10 months and odds are will not have power again in 2020.

    You want to this while ignoring rising emissions in Africa, India, and China giving them a free pass?

    I would like to point out that it's not "them" we should be worried about. It's us. So many hippies say "we are going to destroy the planet." Nope, the planet will do just fine, it will adapt to whatever we do to it.

  9. The term "near future" could be in interpreted many ways. If you go on a geographic time scale the near future could be 10 or 20 million years. In that time plate tectonics will certainly carry both Greenland and Antarctica in to warmer climate zone.

    Hillary was probably the ONLY Democrat who could lose to a blowhard like Trump.

    Seriously, this is what I've been saying for a year now. Trump didn't so much as win as Hilary lost the election. Most people that I know that voted for Trump tell me they voted for him because they just couldn't vote for Hillary.

    This line should put everything is perspective about Hillary Clinton. "She lost to Donald Trump."

    The CEO in that example went to prison for insider trading. That has absolutely nothing to do with the current discussion. The rest of that example has to do with broad spying by the NSA, not the FBI. Again that has nothing to do with the current discussion. The current discussion is the police forcing you to hand over the pass key to your phone. Not the NSA trolling everyone.

    There we go. One moderator, one registered user, and one AC. Not bad for a half ass troll attempted.

    Of the three, only the moderator has found truth. He detected my obvious toll and tagged it as such. Good job.

    I don't read or reply to AC posts, so I don't know if he is agreeing or not.

    So now we have dave. Someone who's TDS was bad enough that he had to respond despite it being a obvious troll. Dave also responded in the exact manner I predicted he would. He responded to my rock-hard fact whit something was his option. In other words, something he made up. I could go on, but my point has been made.

    Since the whole point of my toll was to flush out a SJW, I'm not going to point out how is option, despite being his option, is wrong. Class dismissed.

    But it can be so entertaining. I can say a few facts and have so many SJW pissing all over themselves trying to make up reasons I'm wrong.

    I haven't watched Orville yet as I have per-judged it as Star Trek meets family guy.

    Yes, you are wrong. I am not a Seth MacFarlane fan and I hate family guy. I watched the first episode of The Orville expecting endless fart jokes in space. I was presently surprised. Still it is Seth MacFarlane after all so the crude humor is there, it actually adds to the show. One of the best thing about The Orville is it doesn't take itself to seriously.

    So give it a try. I was greatly impressed with it.

    So the old "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" argument?

    No. Again read what I said and take note of where I said "with a court order" and "upon advice from my attorney." You need to read what is said and not read into something you think it says.

    It is the same thing if they show up at my door with a search warrant, which is a court order, I'm going to let them search. I'm in no way saying "here search my phone just simple because you want too."

  19. No. It is just things like this tend to spiral out of control and usually sink companies like newegg. As for me I plan to continue using newegg till they shut the lights off if their price are lowest.

    Carriers don't have access to text message *contents

    Yeah they do. I used to work for a carrier. I have pulled the exact contents that you are talking about for law enforcement. There is nothing on your phone that they need to send your ass to jail they can't get from the carrier. The reason they want access to the device is because it's simpler. Carriers have deep pockets and can fight to keep the data private. It is in the best interested of the carrier to fight such requests.
