Oh, fuck you. The richest nation on the planet, with 4% of the population, produces a quarter of the world's pollution directly. And even the Indian and Chinese pollution you whine about is to power factories, producing your electronics and cheap shit for Wal-Mart for you to buy.
The Electoral College is due to the fact we live in a republic- the number of electoral votes is equal to the sum of the house and senate.
It's more due to the fact that the beloved founders were a bunch of elitist assholes who didn't think poor people, and people who had to work for other people, should have any say in their own governance. That's why voting was originally limited to property owners, and why state legislators selected U.S. Senators.
1) The story is about abolishing the Electoral College. Whether the EC was established in the original Constitution, by an amendment, or by a law passed by Congress doesn't change the question.
2) It's voters in the state that vote, not the state governments voting for president - as how Senators were elected prior to the 17th Amendment.
Yes, you are dreaming an alternate history of smartphones.
used a resistive touchscreen (as opposed to the iphones capacitive screen
Keep fucking that chicken and thinking a product is no more than a billeted list of parts.
Apple did not play any role in the R&D required to make capacitive touchscreens
Nor did Apple play a role in the R&D of micro-drives nearly a decade earlier. Doesn't change the fact that the iPod revolutionized the mp3 player industry.
If you choose to buy things made in China when there is a made in America option, you are a part of the problem you lament if that problem is "why aren't things made here anymore" or "why aren't there jobs for making things here anymore".
Back when Sam Walton was still running Wal-Mart, he was happy to carry "Made in the USA" labels in his store - as long as they were the same price or less as Chinese imports. A nickle more, and you were out the door. You're also ignoring the fact that the poor - who now make up most of this country - don't have the luxury of choosing to buy the more expensive option. If going to Wal-Mart and buying clothing made in China means that all three of your kids can wear shoes without getting blisters, then you buy the damn shoes at Wal-Mart.
You're making great efforts to hop over capitalist mountain ranges to hysterically point fingers at a capitalist molehill. It's wrong, obnoxious and insulting.
No, I was pointing out why no one is ignoring the 1975 vote, since support for entering the EU was overwhelming.
Doesn't change the fact that a supermajority wasn't required to enter. And there's two other problems with citing that number: 1) people might have voted differently if they known they couldn't back out with 50.1% of the vote if it turned out to be a bad idea 2) no one at the time knew what actually being in an EU would be like. They do now.
Clinton Emails 101. And if she were anyone else, she'd be looking at charges for evidence tampering and obstruction of justice (the 30,000 emails she deleted without review or authorization) on top of mishandling classified evidence.
Seriously, this isn't even debatable. The same DOJ that let Hillary off the hook for her unsecured, unauthorized email server is prosecuting a sailor who took selfies on a sub with an unsecured, unauthorized cell phone.
So do you make a habit of wandering into conversations and making bold statements when you lack the most remedial knowledge of the subject? This is on the level of insisting that OJ Simpson was a white former baseball player who was falsely accused of insider trading.
"I stand by what I said: I did not send or receive any material marked classified," Clinton told ABC News, in a series of interviews Friday after the shootings in Dallas that also touched on the investigation into her email system.
Clinton Emails 101.
That's why she isn't being prosecuted.
And that's Trump's real hair color and hair line. Hillary wasn't prosecuted for the same reason nothing happened to Obama when he started a war on Libya without Congressional authorization, or Cheney oversaw a torture program that beat at least 100 people to death: rules are for little people, not right wing warmongers.
Or that the Ontario patient wait times for treatment agree with me?
You mean some random site that says nothing about Canadian wait times compared to those in the U.S. - including those south of the border who wait forever until they die, because they can never afford the care they need. A situation that doesn't exist in Canada.
Don't worry if you look like an ass
Oh, I would worry about me. I'd worry about your complete lack of self-awareness and high levels of willful dumbfuckery. Ciao.
Says the lazy wanker. Democratic turnout was shit because all the complaints leveled against Trump apply just as much to Hillary - if not more so. And Trump didn't collude with the RNC to clear the primary for him.
You start out in 1954 by saying, "N****, n****, n****." By 1968 you can't say "n****"-that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states' rights, and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract. Now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites..."We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N****, n****."
Only your abstraction is "illegal immigrant". Aside from the irony of the descendants of white imperialist invaders calling the descendants of native inhabitants illegitimate, is this little thing called the Monroe Doctrine.
There isn't a single South American country that hasn't been fucked over, hard, by the United States. Over and over and over again. If the U.S. has bankrupted Jorge's family farm with NAFTA, murdered Miguel's parents with CIA-backed death squads, and kept Maya locked up in prison for dissent in a U.S.-backed dictatorship - it owes each of them a green card at the border, no questions asked, and an easy path to citizenship after that. Just for starters.
Real justice would involve trillions in restitution, as well as deporting everyone from CIA flunkies to former Secretaries of State to face trial.
So, cayane, you want to add a couple of zeros to your annual tax bill to make up for the coups and slaughter from Guatemala to Chile? Or do you want to let the poor bastards in to work at a car wash or lawn care business?
Samsung is bending over backwards to try to make this right
Sure, they'll exchange your phone before it starts on fire. However, if it's already started on fire - taking some of your house with it - they wont return your phone calls.
When the iphone 4 showed up with a defective antenna design? You're holding it wrong!
Psst. Fandroid. Yes, you. Check this out for a second and count the number of Samsung devices on the first page. Now, what you were you saying with the iPhone 4?
Yes there's a difference in the severity of the problems as they relate to public safety - unless of course you're trying to make a critical phone call using a defective iphone 4. However there's also a difference in how the customers were treated. Apple customers are habitually treated like shit. Of course this is only one example of a company that thinks so little of its customers that it would blame them for a problem they created.
You were saying, Hateboi? Apple has dominated hardware reliability surveys since the Precambrian era of computing and smart phones.
Not true. And the reason is, first of all... when you vote, you are a citizen yourself and there is not a situation where the voting rules are somehow transferred over and people start investigating, and etc. The sanctity of the vote, is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for. If you have a family member who is undocumented, you have an even greater reason to vote."
Yes, crystal clear - Obama said you must be a citizen to vote, and in no way no how said undocumented immigrants could vote. That was your point, right? Right?
The biggest lie of all was Obama's 2008 campaign. He ran as the most liberal candidate since Johnson, all the while planning on having the 8th and 9th terms of the Reagan Administration. So bringing this out:
"The vast majority of the money I got was from small donors all across the country.''
Is kind of weak sauce next to promising to renegotiate NAFTA in public, while promising in private that it was mere campaign posturing. Or insisting that "any bill I sign must contain a public option" - months after he had already killed it for the hospital lobby. Molehill, meet mountain.
And those are the actual lies - some of things you rattled off happen to be 100% true.
"Under Gov. Romney's definition... Donald Trump is a small business."
Yes, when Republicans say "small business", what they really mean is a business with a small number of owners. Making even Koch Industries a "small business", despite being one of the worlds wealthiest private corporations.
"Her too!" is not a good argument for the facts that Trump is unfit to be in politics much less President.
Oh, but of course it is, if you plan on voting for her, or even pretending she's the lesser evil.
Either make a case that she's actually worse than the above points, or go cry in your outhouse.
Pick a subject and she's worse than he is. "But but when did she say she wanted to grab a woman's pussy?" Well, no, she hasn't said that. She has said that Mubarak of Egypt was a close friend of the Clinton family - the same Mubarak that had prisoners tortured with rape. Specifically, by specially trained guard dogs.
Then you probably had high amounts of comfort and low amounts of empathy at the time. Might have a different opinion if it had been your home fraudulently foreclosed on by the banks or your investments decimated by fraud.
and who is, by definition, one of the Elite, was going to bring the "1%ers" to bear was so etc etc etc etc
And, to borrow the Democrats warmed over pablum - he's still the Lesser Evil compared to Hillary. Trump is rich because he got money from Daddy. The Clintons are rich because they whored out workers and taxpayers to monied interests - much worse.
You got downvoted for calling Trump a racist, but he's always been one.
So has Hillary. That's the problem for partisan Democrats - there isn't an attack against Trump that doesn't apply against Hillary as much or more so. He doesn't like black people? She called their kids Superpredators in the 90's, and said they needed to be "brought to heel".
The exception being Trump's sexism - but how awesome has Hillary been for women in Africa or the Middle East. Being a pro-war politician means being a pro-rape politician - and Hillary has never met a war she didn't like.
I actually thought that Occupy/1% had a good initial idea - the rich too often pay too little in taxes while the middle class gets the huge tax bill - but they were scattershot in how they protested this and tried to raise awareness. Their message got muddled and lost.
Lost in a cloud of Department of Homeland Security issued tear gas, you mean.
There isn't anything specific she could be prosecuted for,
Other than mishandling classified materials, which have sent other people to jail for lengthily sentences. If Hillary Clinton was Hillary Smith, a mid-level State official, she'd be lucky to be released from prison before she died of natural causes, given her age.
What specific lie did she state about the email server?
That the emails weren't marked classified. Some where, which makes that statement a lie, but the sophistry behind the talking point was more dishonest than the lie itself: the information she dealt with was born classified. This isn't complicated - imagine the U.S. Ambassador to India sends what he thinks is a secure email about the state of tension between India and Pakistan - and their respective nuclear weapons programs. Does that mail have to be "marked" as classified by some flunky before it is treated as such?
I'm genuinely interested to know if there really is something specific she could be prosecuted for, of the FBI's conclusion is correct.
Mishandling classified material on an unsecured, unauthorized email server. Hillary no more had authorization to do her job on her own server than that sailor being prosecuted by the DOJ had authorization to take selfies on a sub with his phone.
And yet, two years later she was doing the same damn thing.
let alone criminal investigation
Uh, you mean wasn't prosecuted by the Obama Administration? The same Obama that first backed telecom immunity, and then covered up the CIA's torture program?
Is keeping your head in that sand starting to irritate your ears or nostrils? Hillary was no more authorized to store classified information on an unsecured sever than that sailor who's getting prosecuted for taking selfies on a sub. The sailor that's being prosecuted by the same DOJ that left Hillary off the hook.

Yeah, that story is believable. Like that posting on cheap oceanfront property in Idaho....you interested?
