But nobody really attacked Bernie, though. There was a lot of stuff in his opposition file that's not really common knowledge.
Tautology. Bernie was free of the issues that candidates are invariably attacked on: flip flops, shady business deals or connections, affairs, influence peddling, etc etc. In a general election he would have been smeared as a crazy leftist - but that happens to every Democratic candidate, anyway. And the kinds of bedwetters who need a new set of sheets at the mention of the word "socialist" would already be voting R.
Every passing day with every passing bit of left-wing craziness over Trump's win makes me that much more glad that Hillary lost.
Leftists? Leftists knew the Democrats was no lesser evil, not this time. Hillary was a corrupt right wing trainwreck of hubris and incompetence - surprised you aren't in love with her, given your screen name.
Trump is going to be president in a few more weeks because he went to Hillary's left on trade and won the Rust Belt.
This is why Democrats wanted Hilary to win. Because we want people to have health care so they don't die.
Then you would have passed the Public Option rather than drowning it in the neoliberal bathtub, Democrats. A mandate to buy junk insurance is not providing health care.
When has Valve engaged in fraud and lies? Please provide an ACTUAL example.
ACTUALLY that's just moving the goalposts. Your point was that bait & switch isn't really bait & switch if the consumer spends a moderate to an extreme amount of research in advance to make sure the company isn't lying them, remember? But keep fucking that chicken.
If the data were really "out there" as claimed how could the government destroy it?
These aren't 1 mb comma separated values files that can easily be shared between you and your Randian study group. A single dataset from a single study can take up terabytes of storage - and how are you going to ensure that none of it is tampered with? Try to copy Bitcoin's chain-of-custody verification process?
Well I guess you'd be the expert to talk to on horseshit. since you seem to be shoveling quite the load yourself.
I'm not the one engaging in conspiracy theories so lame that they would have anti-vaxxers and lunar conspiracy theorists shaking their heads in disdain.
Paying for research that backs up your position is advocacy. The problem is the oil companies did just that, except once their researcher looked at the data he agreed that climate change was real. Whoopsie doopsie.
of all US and Canadian oil and gas producers
The U.S. and Canada don't have any U.S. or Canadian oil companies, they're all international - otherwise the CIA would have had to overthrow their respective governments.
That compares to over a trillion dollars the US government is spending on public schools, public universities, and research grants, all of which are dedicated to pushing the party line on climate change on the most impressionable members of society.
Complete dumbfuckery. The USG has an overwhelming bias towards fossil fuel production. The U.S. military is the world's single largest user of fossil fuels. The Arctic and the eastern seaboard have been opened for drilling. The son of the Vice President of the United States got a seat at Ukrainian energy company after the U.S. overthrew its democracy. Regime change has been attempted as well in another oil producing country (Venezuela) and in Syria (to build a pipeline). Use of force has been promised in the Middle East to keep the flow of oil moving, and fracking has been exported to the world.
And that's just under the tenure of the "liberal" President Obama.
Except that 2 million is no punishment at all for Apple.
Except the point wasn't that 2 million is going to hurt Apple in this case, the point is that people have been willfully propagandized to hate lawyers and class action lawsuits far more than companies ripping off employees and/or customers, or worse.
I have no problem with lawyers making some money. The problem I have is with ridiculous amount of money they tend to make. In cases of class action suits like this, they will settle for pennies on the dollar and then end up with 80 to 90% of the settlement. It's a great deal of the lawyer and the company being sued, not so much for those that got screwed. I mean the plaintiff
That's just repeating the corporatist propaganda I just debunked. You are always free to hire your own damn lawyer and file your own damn suit on your own damn dollar (or a hundred thousand of them).
If you were working on contingency, and had to spend thousands to tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees, plus hiring expert witnesses & a small army of staff to peruse mountains of documents who need to get paid whether you win or lose....how much would you want to get from a settlement?
But that's not even the most willfully obtuse part of the whole deal: being more upset that some lawyers are making some money than a corporation getting away with screwing people over. If you get screwed over by a company, would you want them to keep every last cent, or if nothing else take it from them and burn it in the street?
It isn't patent trolling when you actually did invent the stuff, used it and tried to license it.
It is when you produce nothing, design nothing, research nothing - all you do is send out the lawyers to collect on designs you created long ago, when you were a real company.
I know, the name makes it sound like it is, but it is not.
You know New Mexico has the word "new" in it, right? No one mistakes that state for New England.
New York is NOT part of New England.
Except if we're going down that pedantic road, plenty of Puritans settled in northern New York, as well. As most the state will tell you, New York doesn't begin and end with New York City.
So all it takes is one engineer from the pipeline to say "Well when we were doing the drawings for this region we avoided blah blah blah in order to protect the watershed".
Then they would have called it quits for the entire project, and spent all those billions on wind mill farms instead, when the region has no shortage of it. Any more simple questions?
1. Psst, the Morton County Most Wanted List is publicly available on the internet. Brennon Nastacio isn't on it. Let Google be your friend.
Your elevator doesn't go to the top floor, does it? There hasn't been any snow here this week. Therefore, it did not snow last week.
2. Re Kyle Thompson: protesters shot flare guns at him, rammed his truck and then burned it. Certainly his truck was rammed and burned.
Riiiiiiiight. A literal agent provocateur, trying to pose as an AR-15 carrying protestor has so much credibility. In addition to the aforementioned oceanfront property, I suddenly must unload my shares in North Dakota's professional football team. Just gimme your credit card number and we can discuss prices.
If you want to see the oppositions disproval, then you Need to fund their research equally, just like the researchers received the massive funding for their work who actually started off with assumption that greenhouse-gas-caused climate change exists and is caused by humans.
Drivel. Climate scientists are dependent on grants from the U.S. Government, and the U.S. Government has an overwhelming bias towards fossil fuel production. Even "liberal Democrats" like Obama have threatened to use force to keep oil moving through the Gulf, opened the eastern seaboard to offshore drilling, and bragged about domestic producers drilling oil faster than we have transpiration capacity to move it. And the single largest user of fossil fuels is the U.S. military.
Did you blather on about biases and agendas when scientists were proving that asbestos and cigarette smoke caused cancer? If not, why not?
Warmer temperatures mean more moisture in the air, which contributes to some of the 30" snowstorms that New England has had over the last few years.
mass extinctions, 100 meter sea level rise, mass starvation worldwide, point of no return, end of the world.
So which movies are you basing your idea of what scientists have actually said? Day After Tomorrow? Because otherwise, that's just a pantload of hysterical denialist straw men.
I have some horrible news - our standard of living is guaranteed to go down.
Only because people were too stupid to do something about getting off fossil fuels. For what the U.S. spends every 12 months to subsidize the fossil fuel industry, we could have converted the entire world to green energy. During the Carter Administration.
we saw that data was being falsified in advance of a vote to establish an international agreement on carbon taxes during the climategate scandal, by interests positioned to profit from the creation of a carbon tax credits trading exchange (who funded the falsification).
Repeating stupid bullshit doesn't make it true - just ask the lunar conspiracy theorists that have been trying for half a century.
I don't think this is a Trump issue, but a general issue, and while there's so much FUD going about, at least it's bringing attention to the problems inherent in the climate change issue.
public information if it is being used to justify legislation.
And generally it is - but there's a lot of it. You going to get a bunch of your winger pals together and store all this stuff when a single study can involve terabytes of data, and checksum the shit out of it to make sure none of it is altered?
I love it when liberal hippies are hypocritical (read: always). I thought it was only the gun-loving rednecks that believed paranoid conspiracy theories about the ill intent of government.

Pure dumbfuckery. No amount of compensation is going to make up for missing the game/concert/meeting/operation if that was the purpose of your flight.

There hasn't been this much deranged bedwetting since McCarthy.

And how many people did GM kill with faulty ignitions, just to save a dollar on parts per vehicle?

What argument. Al Gore Derangement Syndrome isn't an argument, it's dumbfuckery.
Your projection is noted.
Drivel. Climate scientists are dependent on grants from the U.S. Government, and the U.S. Government has an overwhelming bias towards fossil fuel production. Even "liberal Democrats" like Obama have threatened to use force to keep oil moving through the Gulf, opened the eastern seaboard to offshore drilling, and bragged about domestic producers drilling oil faster than we have transpiration capacity to move it. And the single largest user of fossil fuels is the U.S. military.
Did you blather on about biases and agendas when scientists were proving that asbestos and cigarette smoke caused cancer? If not, why not?
You forgot tornadoes, massive forest fires and heat deaths out of your list of things that have already happened.
It's a work in progress.
Warmer temperatures mean more moisture in the air, which contributes to some of the 30" snowstorms that New England has had over the last few years.
So which movies are you basing your idea of what scientists have actually said? Day After Tomorrow? Because otherwise, that's just a pantload of hysterical denialist straw men.
Right, because the industry where a single company can make $40 billion in a quarter just doesn't have any money to advocate their interests.
Only because people were too stupid to do something about getting off fossil fuels. For what the U.S. spends every 12 months to subsidize the fossil fuel industry, we could have converted the entire world to green energy. During the Carter Administration.
Mentioning Al Gore == sign that you are afflicted with right-wing dumbfuckery, and should seek medical attention.
Repeating stupid bullshit doesn't make it true - just ask the lunar conspiracy theorists that have been trying for half a century.
It's a reasonable precaution based on what other right-wing incoming administrations have done.
And generally it is - but there's a lot of it. You going to get a bunch of your winger pals together and store all this stuff when a single study can involve terabytes of data, and checksum the shit out of it to make sure none of it is altered?
So it's not destroyed by an incoming right-wing government.
You don't need the maximum dosage of horseshit pills, the regular dose is more than enough.
You were saying?
