The Democrats have been screaming "Russians!" since the election, even though there's no evidence that Russia had any influence in the way it turned out.
I believe part of the reason they keep blaming the Russians is because they fear we'll find out who actually had Seth Rich murdered. Julian Assange himself said the Russians didn't give him the emails, and Wikileaks has offered a $20K reward to solve the case.
Trump is a blowhard who is full of himself, but he's no evil politician making nefarious plans to take over the world. Only skillful, corrupt politicians could plan something like what's going on now - the overthrow of an elected President.
All I've seen is a lot of smoke. Every three-letter agency and every news organization have been all over this since last July and nobody has produced any evidence. In a rumor-happy place like Washington D.C., if there were anything to this, we'd have seen something by now. It appears that a lot, if not most, of this is just in the minds of the media and the Democrats.
Not all utilities are publicly owned. I've been working with utilities for nearly 41 years. My observation is that the better ones are run by private companies. There's something about the profit motive that makes people more likely to want to get and keep customers.
Here are the utilities I have in my home: Electricity from a private company Cable and internet service from a private company Garbage pickup from a private company Water from a local water board
Of those, the worst is the water - constant rate increases, overpaid employees, board members under investigation, and a system that loses 25% of the water it produces. Wow, give me more of that.
I had a metal roof put on my house last month. The total cost (materials + labor) was only $3066. That was for 14.5 squares installed on a rather small house. The lowest estimate I got for asphalt shingles was $3500. Since I'm 64 years old, I expect the metal roof to last me the rest of my life. If I someday decide to go with solar, it will probably be somewhere other than on my roof, maybe a thousand square feet out in the yard on the south side of the house.
Some of us work for a living and are not home all day to wait for a package. Right now UPS, USPS, and FedEx drivers leave my packages inside of my car in the driveway. If the packages are left on the front step, they are in full view of thieves. I'd rarely ever receive anything if a driverless car or drone left packages on the front step, and if it's raining, all those packages the thieves didn't get would be soaking wet.
You must be right. The leftists here on slashdot hate what you said and have already modded you down.
Remember, they can't stand the truth. It shatters their world view, which is mostly based on feelings and emotions. They must silence anybody who disagrees with them because their beliefs can't stand up under honest debate.
Watch. They'll mod me down, too. In 3 . . . 2 . . . 1
My bank here in (so-called) backwards Alabama issues debit cards with chip and PIN. Of course, retailers who have chip readers are few and far between. My card has no magnetic stripe and even my doctor's new office (opened last year) can't take the card.
You need to move somewhere closer to civilization!
Finally, somebody who likes Cloud Atlas! I thoroughly enjoyed it. You really have to watch it at least twice to be able to follow all the plots.
I liked The Fountain for much the same reason. It's three separate stories set in three different times. Plus, you get to look at Rachel Weisz for the whole movie!
When we were teenagers we made fun of the bad movies on television just like MST3K does, but we were doing it a couple of decades before the original series was broadcast. One thing we did back then that MST3K never did was watch foreign language films with subtitles and do our own, funny translations.
When MST3K came along in the 80s, it reminded me of the old times and it was hilarious.
I'm watching the new series on Netflix right now and it's just as funny as ever. I could (and will) watch it over and over to catch jokes I missed the first time.
Sad, but true. I'm old enough to remember when every boy had a knife in his pocket. We carried them everywhere, even to school. In twelve years of school, I never saw one person pull out his knife during a fight, and there were plenty of fights. It was as if there were a code of honor about fighting fairly. I averaged getting into about one fight per school year, winning about half of them. Never used a knife even though I always had one in my pocket.
Most teenage boys back then had a shotgun or rifle in their vehicle at school. It made it easier to go hunting before or after class. Nobody ever used one on a person. Times have changed and not for the best.
No, they are never talking about the same thing. You can look at it through their eyes if you want the President to look bad, or through the right stats if you want to make him look good. The only stat that means anything is how many people are working.
I think #10, bragging rights, is the main reason people I know go to movies. They want to be the first to see it no matter what it costs or what efforts they have to endure.
I just don't get it. When I see people lined up around the corner to see a movie on opening night, I'm always tempted to shout at them, "Hey, they're going to be showing it tomorrow, too!" Fools.
I know I don't watch ESPN because I don't like my sports mixed with politics. Most of the guys I work with (hundreds of guys in five states) and all of my family and friends feel the same way. If we want politics, we'd watch a news channel. Sports, pure sports without any bullshit, would be nice.
ESPN has become the most politically correct channel on television and it's sickening. Even "Mike & Mike" is unwatchable now.
In the minds of the radical left having any money at all makes you part of the 1%. Heck, to some of those idiots even having a job is enough to qualify.

Guess again and this time go higher.

Either show me the evidence or shut up.

His middle name must be "Ras".

The first thing Facebook is going to have to do is find a Facebook user with a brain. You can't interface with something that doesn't exist.

If only 0bama had left enough troops in Iraq to finish the job properly. I think sometimes he was the leader of the JV Team.
God would never run any Microsoft OS. He runs one called "Universe"!
Don't you know you're inside a simulation? It takes powerful hardware and software to run a simulation like that.
I've had Charter Spectrum for years. No data caps and my average download speed is 66 Mbps. You'll love Charter.
With an attitude like that you wonder why we don't want you here. Just stay home. We don't care.
We have people literally dying to come across our borders to get here. If the US is THAT bad, why are they coming?

You're gonna need that MRI to find the cancer once it spreads from the flesh around the chip.
We've already seen the tumors from chipping animals.
