    The many ways in which Donald Trump was once a liberalâ(TM)s liberal.

    1999: he was "very pro-choice."
    2000: supported an assault weapons ban and a longer waiting period to purchase a firearm.
    1999: he was "very liberal when it comes to health care" and that he believes in "universal healthcare."
    Either Trump or his son donated to Clinton in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007, he invited her to his 2005 wedding in Florida, where she sat front row, and he's donated at least $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. He also said in an appearance on the Howard Stern show in the mid-2000s that she was a fantastic senator.

    Is Amercia really so far behind with renewables?

    Only in places where hypocritical NIMBY "wind turbines will disturb my pristine ocean view" left-wingers live. In solid, Trump-voting Oklahoma and Texas, wind farms dot the landscape.

    Why do you think that the Pigeonhole Principle has anything to do with the Cuban Communist Party's ban on individual Internet access?

    they're fixing the slow connection to the outside.

    Which is useless, if private Internet connections are illegal.

    The US embargo prevented telecom connections to the US so that seems like a pretty good candidate to blame.

    How exactly did the US embargo make the Partido Comunista de Cuba ban all private Internet connections?

    What good would a 60Tbps cable straight from Miami to Havana do when only the Privileged Few, Blessed By the Communist Party are allowed to have Internet access, and the public hot spots are all crappy?

    Who does lpress first blame on Cuban internet slowness?

    Not the fact that internet connections are illegal for the vast majority of Cubans.
    Not the fact that they can only get it through a small number of overburdened public WiFi hot spots who's connections are slow to begin with.

    No. As usual, The Liberal Blames America First.

    Who needs fake news when distortion is soooo much more effective, and has the benefit of being... true?

    This has zero to do with IT. It's because they explicitly chose only women.

    The fact that a small minority of teenage girls (occasionally? your stats don't say) use FB doesn't negate the fact that Instagram and Snapchat are *the* SM sites for teen girls (in the US, at least).

    I've worked in the IT world (first as a programmer, and then as a DBA) for 30 years. Many of my supervisors and team leads have been women, and quite a number of coworkers female.

    Thus, I don't need a snotty left-wing punk to "educate" me about women in IT.
