there was a time, dim in our memories now (and absent completely in the memories of some too young or too unaware of history to know it) when 'capitalism' operated differently, operated with more regard for the needs of society, i.e. capitalism that had more of a conscience
You mean the good old days like a couple hundred years ago, when you could buy and sell shares in companies that bought and sold human beings in the slave trade?
Yeah. They did. For three months, Lieberman included. Which was a red herring anyway, as Obomneycare had to be passed via reconciliation anyway, which bypasses the 60 vote canard.
You could always get off your lazy entitled ass and hire your own damn attorney. Of course, that would also mean you would have to shoulder the cost of the lawsuit and assume all of the risk if you lose. Which doesn't happen with class action lawsuits - still sure you want to shit all over them?
Eh. As for penalizing this specific instance, sure that ration is okay - as far as deterring future similar examples, the fine is still missing a few zeros.
So at this point you're just engaging in willful dumbfuckery, taken to 11. Because that's what it takes to pretend one. goddamned. month. of non-classified work is "far, far worse" than years of correspondence at the highest levels of classified information.
Duh? All you're doing is repeating fact-free McCarthyism in defense of McCarthyism. But by all means, compare the number of countries overthrown by the USSR to the number of democracies overthrown by the US/UK/France.
No. They don't. Not even remotely close. Assange is accused of inserting his penis into a sleeping woman without consent. Which is considered rape in all countries involved plus the "hang Assange high" set.
Prove that. Because it's not universal, including in Europe.
It's utterly commonplace including examples right here in the United States. More willful stupidity isn't helping your case - arguing that the allegations are so serious that they are worth an INTERPOL warrant plus the UK spending millions of pounds to enforce, but not pulling a passport. Hell, forget willful stupidity - now you're engaging in outright willful dumbfuckery.
Answer the questions.
Answered in spades and in triplicate - dumbfuck.
Not answers to the questions. Show how Sweden is acting differently in wanting to question Assange in Sweden. Or continue to not do so. Your evasion speaks volumes.
Is your willful dumbfuck engine fusion-powered? Again, Sweden has interviewed dozens of suspects abroad since Assange was granted asylum, and has refused to make it clear this is nothing but rape allegations, despite prodding and years to do just that.
Blah blah irrelevant blah
Translation: even your fusion-powered willful dumbfuckery ran out of talking points when confronted with a deluge of facts.
Citation needed. Desperately.
Again, do you comment at lengths on topics where you have a comical level of ignorance, or just this one? Solitary confinement is torture, particularly when used against a non-violent inmate who has shown zero signs of being a threat to herself or others.
Where's the mention of "America's brutal prison system"?
Even more dumbfuckery. It's the entire basis for the refusal to extradite.
Blah blah irrelevant blah.
You can't answer the question of why the UK would spend millions of pounds on a simple bail-jumping case because you can't.
Dumb. Fuck. Er. Eee.
And that's before looking at the fact that the UK was begging Sweden to maintain the prosecution of Assange instead of dropping it. Not, "hey, can you go ahead and promise this nob you wont hand him to the United States so we can hand him over to you and go home".
Foreigners have no choice but to park their wealth in US assets
FTFY. Good luck being an international investor without being linked to the petrodollar, or a banking system that the USG can ban you from/seize your assets on a whim.
Congratulations on catching a typo. Here's your gold star.
At this point it is hard to take anything you say seriously.
Any excuse to avoid dealing with the fact that all the wars were started by Zionists, save the '73 Yom Kippur war, which they had coming as they were illegally squatting on land they stole during the 1967 war, which the Zionists started.
but only after Egypt (in response to false reports from the Soviet Union that Israel was massing on the Syrian border) massed troops in the Sinai on Israel's border
Any excuse to ignore the fact that Israel was obviously massing their own forces, since they started the war. You think you're fooling anyone but your fellow apartheid supporters here?'
Oh and occupy land after a war is not illegal.
Completely illegal after WWII. But by the logic of your bullshit, all your Arab neighbors have to do is win a war, and they'll be legally justified in forcing every Israeli out of their houses. Funny how Hasbara blows up in the face in those who spread it when the very same reasoning is used with different variables.
BTW, If Islam is "the Religion of Peace", why is it busy killing fellow Muslims in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Lebanon, Algeria, Sudan, Somalia, Iran, Pakistan...?
Your dumbfuck whattabouttery aside, because of a century of western imperialism.
Why is it killing Infidels all over the World?
Why are you ignoring the fact that all the "jihadist violence" you're whining about is 1) directly sponsored by western imperialism 2) backlash to western imperialism?
Well, seeing that you need a nuclear power program for a modern nuclear weapons program....
So where's the bedwetting over Japan's nuclear power program? All Iran wants is the same nuclear power generation enjoyed by other countries that aren't threatened with total genocide for possessing.
if it's a nuclear program and not working on thorium reactors
You mean the vaporware that no one is building, including nuclear weapon possessing countries like the US, the UK, France and Russia?
LOL! Iran has hundreds of centrifuges deep underground. If they were "peaceful", they would be above ground.
Because they don't want to be bombed by the United Sates or the Israelis, dipshit. Who, again, have both admitted that Iran has no nuclear weapons program. Speaking of Iran, they were in compliance with the NPT before the "Iran deal" (as opposed to the US which has always ignored the disarmament provisions) and remained in compliance with the "Iran deal" after the US pulled out. Dipshit.
Doubling down on the myth doesn't make it true. Clinton would have won without Perot in the race, as proven by the trajectory of the race before Perot dropped out (before dropping back in). Facts.
Nader gave us Bush Jr. Sanders gave us Trump.
More dumb myths. The 300,000 registered Democrats in Florida that voted for Bush had a wee bit more to do with Bush's election than a much smaller group of people split between Democrats, Republicans and people who would have otherwise stayed home. But this goes to show how the Democratic Party establishment hates the left more than Republicans do, when Democrats get a free pass to vote for right-wing Republicans but they want to shove anyone who votes to the left into a Pinto and set it on fire. As for Trump, he would have won the popular vote (which really isn't a thing in the US) if all the conservative third party votes were added to his column the way Democrats feel Green Party votes were owed to Hillary. More Facts.
Because the Saudi's are opposing Al Qaeda militants
Your auto-correct changed "supplying" to "opposing". Just letting you know so you can check your settings. As for confusing Shiites with Sunni jihadists and dictatorships, I have no idea how you got there.
Its the definition of nuttery. The whole anti-communist hysteria is predicated on ignoring the 1st Amendment, and not just for the freedom of speech but the freedom of association. That and hating on democracy - which is why the US has overthrown so many elected socialist governments.
He took equally from Democrats and Republicans. But the Democrats that voted for Ross were from the centrist "pro-business" wing of the party, and many of them would have drifted to Bush in a two person race.
Doesn't change the fact that Clinton would have won without Perot in the race.
The Republicans that voted for Ross were those steamed about Bush's reversal on taxes. They would have never voted for Bill Clinton.
They wouldn't have voted for Bush either. They would have sat out the election if they couldn't vote third party, same as NeverHillary democrats or NeverTrump republicans did in 2016.
Turns out, a lot of those people back then really were communists or communist sympathizers, and they really did mean to use their influential positions to overthrow the US government. And why not? It worked well in China, Yugoslavia and would have worked in Italy and Greece had the Americans not colluded with dark forces to alter the results of democratic elections.
Is this performance art, or are you really so far out there you can see Pluto from your house?
Uh huh. He still lied his ass off to get that war started in the first place. To anyone who still supports the first Gulf War, I ask the question: why aren't we bombing Saudi Arabia to stop their actual genocide on Yemen, instead of helping them to do it?
Total myth. Perot "took" votes from Democrats as well as Republicans, and Clinton was passing Bush when Perot dropped out of the race before dropping back in.
He chose to sign the bill. What a president signs, a president owns. If he'd been a little smarter about it, he could have vetoed it the first time and then let it pass into law without his signature - and gotten a second term.
That Iraqi troops were throwing babies out of incubators in Kuwatti hospitals, for one. There wasn't much enthusiasm for a military intervention until a teenage girl got on television and told that little fable - of course she was the daughter of an ambassador and was no where near the invasion or any clinics.
As long as you're ignoring the fact that Israel started the '69 war, and had the '73 war coming to them as they were illegally squatting on land acquired in a war they started, sure.
If Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program, what were those hundreds of centrifuges making? Cotton Candy?
Nuclear power, grasshopper. Same reason the United States started giving the Shah nuclear power technology before his regime was overthrown - Iran is an oil producing country, and nuclear power allows them to export more oil. Any more remedial questions?
Slashdot Mirror
All of the FUD around wind and solar power can be addressed with infrastructure that has been used to back up nuclear power, like pumped storage.
You mean the good old days like a couple hundred years ago, when you could buy and sell shares in companies that bought and sold human beings in the slave trade?
Yeah. They did. For three months, Lieberman included. Which was a red herring anyway, as Obomneycare had to be passed via reconciliation anyway, which bypasses the 60 vote canard.

...from the United States. Cuz is not like the United States wouldn't be at war with somebody by the end of the week if someone sabotaged Los Alamos.
