If you didn't get qualifying health insurance then you were fined. If you didn't pay the fine then you risked jail. If you fled then now you are an "enemy of the state" and they will kill you.
Bullshit. The only truth is that first sentence. Nobody has been declared an "enemy of the State" for not purchasing health insurance. Nor has anyone been jailed. Keep your alt-right fantasies to yourself, please.
There is no law. This is a change in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which are set by the Federal Courts, and will take effect unless Congress stops it. Sen. Wyden was trying to stop it, but failed. Get your damn facts straight.
... it may turn out they don't even have the votes in the Senate to do much else but filibuster Clinton nominees
And if Chuck Schumer has his act together, he can have the Senate rules changed on day 1 of the new session to eliminate filibuster for any confirmations.
Comey probably knew about the (apparent) cell in the NY FBI office who have a hard-on about HRC, and knew they were going to leak something, so he decided to get out in front of it with his letter to Congress. I do give him some credit for his subsequent letter yesterday, but it would have been better IMO if he had shut up and let the leaks happen, then come down like a ton of bricks on the leakers.
Gore didn't accept the result in 2000 (well, at first he did - then when the FL Secretary of State on election night announced an automatic recount, he rescinded his concession) because, until the FL and US Supreme Courts ruled, the election wasn't over yet. As soon as the courts ruled, he made a very gracious concession.
So, we should just ignore the real possibility that a concerted effort is being made by the Russian intelligence services to influence our election, and install a President who would be favorable to Russian interests?
Uh, that would be Joe McCarthy. If you expect people to take you seriously, you really should make a minimal effort to get your facts straight. It's not like there's not an Internet to use for looking up these things.
Watergate - Hillary was fired from the staff of the House Judiciary committee investigating the Nixon Watergate scandal in 1974 by her supervisor, Democrat Jerry Zeifman, because she was a liar [foxnews.com]. Hillary "conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
16 US embassies and/or consulates were attacked during GW Bush's presidency. 60 people were killed. There were NO congressional hearings. Double standard, much?

The most important software on it is my Logitech Media Server for streaming my music library to work;-). 2015 MB Air 13-in for most normal use (web, EVE, etc.). A somewhat crappy Lenovo G550 with Windows 10 for the (very few) times I need Windows. iPad2. Jide Remix mini for video streaming.
Plus all the damn servers and other desktops I need to support. At least we finally got rid of the last VAXstations this past year...
For software, mostly Firefox for browser although every now and then it pisses me off and I switch to Chrome (and then, after a while, Chrome pisses me off and I go back to Firefox). Emacs/XEmacs is editor-of-choice for anything big, vi or nano for quick edits. Most used software is probably Konsole. VirtualBox and/or QEMU/KVM for VMs. Whatever random software I need to support/answer questions about on any given day. X11vnc/vncviewer gets a pretty good workout.
One other thing that I can't see him doing is, if he becomes President then he will have to hand over controls to all his businesses to someone else (most likely in his family.) and not have anything to do with them during his term. I can't see him giving up that control.
Actually, there is no law requiring him to do that - just as there is no law requiring Presidential candidates (or sitting Presidents) to release their tax returns. So, we are never going to see Trump's tax returns, and, if elected, he could continue being actively involved in all of his businesses. How do you like them apples?
Donald Trump stated: "So the Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep." - New York Times, Feb. 14, 2000.
This was when Trump was considering running for President on the Reform Party ticket. Does nobody remember anything, any more?
To stream audio, I've been using Logitech media player (aka Squeezeserver) for years - works with every media player I've tried (at least any that can open a URL), and there are "controller" apps for IOS and Android.
Hockey-puck sized Android desktop (optimised for keyboard+mouse) device. Works a treat. Couple it with a PLEX server running on some other computer+storage on your home LAN and you're golden. I use an Iotech bluetooth keyboard with mouse pad - any good BT keyboard should work fine.

Never, now that we elected Trump. Thanks, America!

Except that Zeifman was not her supervisor, and she wasn't fired http://www.snopes.com/politics...

I can only support this idea if the drones are redesigned to look like gargoyles - now, that would be cool!
I'm still trying to figure out what kind of "test" he's going to give Muslims to see whether or not they believe in Sharia law.
Just make them eat a bacon cheeseburger.

And so what? He deserved to die?
Obviously, YANAL. A decision by the FBI director in no way establishes any kind of legal precedent.
