According to who's polls is his ratings dropping and what conditions where the questions asked for these polls? There are places that show Obama as one of the worse presidents in history, yet there those that show the exact opposite.
Please document the lies that he has made and where you have your evidence from. So far all I have seen is a bunch of unfounded innuendos. I don't believe for a moment that Obama wiretapped his ass. But Trump might believe that so it doesn't make it a lie. It just makes him wrong.
So, again, site your sources. So far all you have tossed out is a bunch of rumors and options that can vary as the wind blows. I'm not asking to much from you am I? I'm just asking where you got your information from, specifically.
Yes. I have been watching the news. Both side, liberal and conservative outlets. I've also watched Wallstreet, several socialist media sites, and cpan for raw input. Virtually every indicator says we are doing fine if not getting better.
Now this may not be any of Trumps doing and just something leftover from the Obama administration. But put it simply the gloom and doom you and people like you, have been predicting since November simply isn't happening.
So again, if its so bad, please site your sources.
Many people think Trump is an idiot. He is not. He knows exactly what to say in order to make enough people vote for him.
I'm glad someone else sees this. Trump is arrogant, and a bit of a narcissus, but he is not an idiot. What I actually find kind of funny, not funny as in "ha ha" but funny as in sad, is people blinded by their love for the man and those blinded by their hate can't see what is happening. Trump is playing both sides like a fiddle. He is saying exactly what needs to be said to keep his base happy, and to throw the opposition in disarray and have them frothing at the mouth.
I'll say it here and now that if Trump keeps this up, he'll win 2020 in a Reagan / Mondale land slide.
NASA has out lived its usefulness. It would be far better to re-purpose NASA as a control agency, like the FCC and FAA. Then encourage private businesses to take up the space cause.
Then again, I'm still hoping that Pence assumes the first title via the 25th.
You should be careful what you wish for. Before you state something like this you should really go research Pence before you wish him as president. I actually can't help but wonder at the people who hate Trump so much they want to see him impeached.
The things people "think" Trump will do that scare the crap out of them, Pence will do. Pence has stated he will set back gay and women rights. At least Trump has stated he has no issues to this. Even if these where Trumps stated goals, he doesn't have the support base in Congress to pull it off.
Pence does. He is a career politician. He has the contacts and the smarts to pull it off if he is set in office. It is far better to stumble through a Trump presidency and hope he is a mediocre one time president than to have Pence in there.
And now they are finding out EXACTLY how much worse it gets
You seem to like to say that, but you seem to do so with out citing any evidence. So I'm going to come out and ask you to cite your sources. Please show us how Trump supporters are "finding out EXACTLY" how much worse it can get.
What its called, medcaid or medicare, really doesn't matter, but I'm sure that everyone reading understand the point. If it offends your sense of the universe, then I'm sorry.
I honestly don't care what you think, obamacare, aca, was a abomination. It was something forced on them that nobody wanted. It did far more harm than good and end the end has assisted nobody. It in no way made insurance afordable, in fact it did just the opposite.
Before obamacare I had family insurance for about $250 a month. After obamacare that went up to $1200 a month. Which is not a uncommon story. The only thing left was obama care, which with its $6500 deductible actually made the insurance worse than useless.
As for the exchanges, when they worked, they where almost unusable. I tried to navigate that nightmare. It was a joke.
Removing pre-existing conditions from insurance might have been the only good thing to come out of this mess.
While medical reform was and is still badly needed, obama care wasn't it. The faster its gone the better. Another side effect of the failure of obamacare is it will probably mark Obama's presidency as one of the worse in history.
Now then, if you wish to continue this conversation, get an account. I have decided that AC are no longer worth my time.
No, he didn't. He only made it seem like that. What it really did was kick million of people off the insurance they had and made them buy crappy Obamacare insurance. It also reclassified medicare as insurance. Then it forced people that wouldn't normally be able to afford the insurance, sign up for Medicaid.
An that is where your imaginary number of "millions" come from. Was it a good thing that all these people where forced to sign up for Medicaid. Well yes, but it really didn't matter. All those people that where forced to sign up would have been put on medicaid any way if they went to the hospital. Basically, all that part of it did was force people to sign up for medicare that would have already been covered by medicaid any way. So, really all it did was nothing.
An no, I didn't get my information from Fox news or something like that. I actually watched this first hand as my daughter had to go to the hospital. They didn't have insurance and couldn't afford it, so by default she was put on medicare. An yes, I offered to help pay for the medical costs but was told flat out by the person helping fill out the paper work that, it would have made it worse. Anything that I contributed would have counted against her as income and might have caused her application to be turned down , which would have left them with out insurance at all.
So no, Obama didn't put put millions on insurance. He put millions on Medicare. So any reforms that Trump pushes through, unless he eliminates medicare, will not push millions off of insurance. All it will do is not automatically enroll them in medicare.
This actually makes perfect sense now that I think about it. I used my gps to find my new job. Three months later I was still using it to find where I worked. I use my phones gps all the time to get around memphis. I doubt I could find any place with out it. But my home town, my first time back there in 10 years and I knew where every place was.
I didn't know they where still maintaining ALSA audio. Did they get all the bugs fixed in PulseAudio? None of my Linux machines have any audio on them at all, so I'm a little out of date.
When support for Windows 7 ends there will be a whole other problem since there is the whole "rent a OS" thing going on with Windows 10
I've been wondering about this "rent a OS" thing myself. I've been running windows 10 for almost two years, on several machines. I have yet to have it stick out a change pan.
Personally, I would rather pay a reasonable fee every year than get hit with a enormous upgrade cost every 4 years. I would rather have a gradual change over a period of time instead of huge change with a reinstall every few years.
Depends on what office environment you are in. Everyone in my company uses office 2013 and up. All our documents come across as docx. I hardly ever see a plan doc, document in the wild any more.
Photoshop is geared for professionals where time is money. If you can get a photo done with a push of a button that will save you hours of work. That is a good thing.
To each his own I say. I use MS office in work environment because of compatibility issues with libre office. I know it has gotten so much better in 5.x now, but still I will stick to MS office there. I can lose a contract just because some client can't open a proposal in their copy of word. Not worth the chance to me.
I use libreoffice 5.x for personal writings. I like the feel of librewrite over ms word. Librewrite reminds me of the word processors I used to use on the Amiga back in college.
For the last 20 years I have almost never reinstalled a OS unless it was a fresh build, on a my production equipment. You know what the key to that is? Don't load weird shit from back ally sites on to your production equipment.
My current load of windows on this machine is 5 years old. Granted it started as a windows 7 machine and worked its way up to windows 10. The linux load on the bitch box behind me is 3 years old.
at said, open source software is great until you have to use it. OpenOffice, GIMP, KiCad...all needlessly convoluted.
I can see that with gimp. It has one of the worse interfaces for any software that I have seen. I don't know about KiCad as I have never used it. Openoffice is several years out of date. Do they still maintain it?
Libreoffice 5.x+ is what you want to use. 4.x and below I always seemed to have issues interfacing with the rest of the MS office world. Not so with 5.x+ and above.
You don't have to use gnome3, pulse audio, or systemd if you don't want too. There are still distributions out there that shun those. Pick you poison or roll your own.
If it is about low watts vs shear performance Intel should toss Atom processors in to the server market. Atom processors are x86 compatible so you don' t have to redo all your code to run it.
And when you want to move off the baby processor and on to a real server then its just a straight move up.
Why am I still posting at 0 when my karma is excellent?
I believe we are in the same boat here. I'm about to replace a FS-8350. My plan is to replace it with a Intel 6900 but I'm not sold on that plan yet. I plan to wait till Ryzen hits the shelves and is out for a few months.
The hype for the Ryzen looks fantastic. I really love the price on that R7-1800X processor. But in the past AMD has been know to over promise and fail to deliver. So I plan to wait 3 months, I'm in no hurry, to see what third party benchmarks say about Ryzen.
Still even if Ryzen doesn't quite reach AMD's hype it still maybe a good bargain. I've been running this 8350 in my linux box for close to 3 years now and I've not had any real reason to complain.

Just like Bush and Obama who also promised Mars missions
Deja Moo. The feeling I've heard this bullshit before. I'm just not so gullible now. Call me when they launch.

That is the new form of copy protection. Just make it so bad that nobody would want to copy it.

Look at me caught with out mod points but you are spot on in everything you said. The bill is coming due, time to see what is in our pockets.
The last thing that blinked and blinked 12:00 at me I tossed in the trash. The stove is much more heavy than a VCR so tape it is.

I know several people that use libreoffice for work. Mostly die hard penguins that use linux for work too.
I don't know any one, at all, that uses google docs for anything. Not even personal use.
