This is a guy who as governor, instructed law enforcement to investigate women who miscarried to make sure they weren't aborting their fetuses.
Isn't it strange how the people who scream "small government" and "freedom" go out and employ extra people just so that they can poke their noses into the most private places.
What sort of rewards? Did that story about Thiel feeding off the blood of the young (injections supposedly for longevity) turn out to be the utter bullshit it sounds like or is he really that weird and creepy?
Threats now? Please just try being a bit civil in the future, not being able to follow the thread of a conversation is no excuse for calling someone the equivalent of a traitor.
There's nothing wrong with being unsatisfied with the way things are and wanting to lob a big water balloon full of "f--k you" at the powers that be in this country.
Doing something drastic to yourself as a "cry for help" is always going to hurt.
Plus the "change", as seen with situations like this position, is a matter of replacing one bunch of professional political agitators who have never done anything else with a different bunch - so effectively no change at all with some things. The think-tank idiot mentioned above will have no clue on how to manage a handful of people and suddenly he's in charge of thousands.
A bit of an aside, but I find it very strange that attacking Ghadaffi was seen as a good thing under Reagan, but doing it with such a degree of success that Ghadaffi is dead and his regime gone is somehow a very bad thing if Clinton is in some way involved.
every criticism you can make of Trump applies to Hillary Clinton,
I hope you are correct but I suspect by March he's going to do something so drastic and even downright "UnAmerican" that you are going to change your mind. He talks like he wants to be the King that George Washington freed the USA from.
Here let me fix that for you. On one side you have scientists who are completely dependent on government and private grants for their paychecks. If they study global warming and come to the right conclusions they get cash rained on them. If not they get black listed and driven out of their field
Bullshit. The governments want them to find that global warming does not exist.
I seriously have no idea what you're expecting to prove here
It's obvious. You'll work it out if you think about how you would react if someone mistook you for someone else, called you a traitor and then just piled on more insults when it was pointed out that they had messed things up.
state/county regulations
Nothing at all to do with guns in the hands of Dassh/ISIL - a petty distraction on your part that should be far beneath you.
Indeed - all those people complaining about elites and insiders are in for a shock when such "think-tank" losers who have done nothing in their lives other than circle Washington like files end up suddenly getting put into positions where they are in charge of thousands despite zero useful experience.
Trump is smart. Scary smart. Or he has some ridiculously smart advisors to whom he pays very close attention
No he just talks a good "game" and treats everything like a game. He's going to play with the country like a cat does with a lizard. Bankrupting the USA and defaulting on the debts to the banks of other countries like a third world Dictator is now a real possibility instead of being interesting science fiction. Don't look at the Party he has attached himself to, look at the man - he could be our Chavez only without the oil profits to keep the wolf from the door.
Those you mentioned seriously fucked some things up - faking an attack to drag the USA into a petty French colonial war, getting taken hook line and sinker by Stalin at Yalta and the incredibly fucking stupid brinkmanship that resulted in the Cuba missile crisis.
Bullshit. The "good for business" argument just doesn't work. As an example, Rupert Murdoch has been far more successful in business than Trump has ever been and has been fighting against net neutrality at every step because he thinks he can make a lot of money being a gatekeeper to parts of the internet (as well as thinking that the internet cuts into his cable tv profits).
Both may as well be true if every third article posted to slashdot for the next four years just talks about how America sucks now because...the president
Seriously? The big news in tech for the next few weeks is "what is Trump going to do about issue X in tech" and you expect slashdot to ignore it? There are other stories to read and comment on.
They won't. Snowden's leak already showed how much contempt there is for the Constitution in key government agencies. The new guy may as well become a King if he can do enough corrupt deals with the people who are supposed to be the checks and balances.
You really want to turn this into a pedantic pissing match?
You've been doing that all along despite being the only one playing such a pathetic game. Your "person who doesn't understand what the ATF" is even more pathetic - by not addressing your whining about annoying little regulations I suddenly don't understand? Pathetic little goalpost shift number whatever.
Personally I think there are plenty of flaws to fix whether they impacted decisively on the last two elections or not. That it is run well in some geographical areas and badly in others demonstrates both that there is room for improvement and how to do it.
The "most votes wins" rule is much more in need of change
I agree - but I see that as part of the thing to fix instead of separate from it. I'm not suggesting getting rid of electoral colleges, just running them in a better way and a more consistent way - kind of like how US advisors supervise well run elections in other countries already. It may not have been as ridiculous as Florida in 2000 but there's still been stupid stuff like things being too slow and lines too long so people were sent home without voting. That isn't likely to have changed the outcome this time but it's still a fuckup that shouldn't happen.
Since you wish us to believe the unlikely on the basis of faith it strongly resembles one.
With almost every kind of *nix backup and recovery is trivial and you can also usually just shove the users drive out of a dead machine into a new one to get them going again. With MS there is a lot of messing about - even software installations are mind bogglingly sloooooowwwwwwwwwwwww.
Ok let's review what your VERY FIRST CONTRIBUTION to this conversation was:
Incorrect, it was this:
Don't worry, those taxes are paying for it. Billions have been spent on smallarms recently that were donated to Iraq, Afganistan and Saudi Arabia and for some reason the guys we are fighting all seem to have American made guns when captured. Even a lot of the stuff that looks like it's from elsewhere are those expensive high quality US guns paid for by the taxpayer (http://www.kalashnikov-usa.com/). Getting off topic maybe and nothing to do with Trump, but it's real. Blame Obama if you like

he reaps the rewards.
What sort of rewards? Did that story about Thiel feeding off the blood of the young (injections supposedly for longevity) turn out to be the utter bullshit it sounds like or is he really that weird and creepy?
Threats now?
Please just try being a bit civil in the future, not being able to follow the thread of a conversation is no excuse for calling someone the equivalent of a traitor.
I didn't.
WTF is your problem? You managed to get me mixed up with yourself this time!
Because ignoring his track record like that is just what got him elected in the first place.

That kind of involves actually doing something and there is a vast amount of resistance to doing something.
Did I outline the problem in a simple enough way? It's getting harder and harder to describe things to the slashdot audience.
Bullshit.
The governments want them to find that global warming does not exist.

Since the US taxpayer has paid the bill where they are used in the middle east, central america and south america there isn't one.
Here we go...

Your cry for help, like a failed suicide, is going to have consequences that will cause you pain.
You'll be getting shit in industrial quantities unless you are one of the 0.01% elites like Trump.
They won't. Snowden's leak already showed how much contempt there is for the Constitution in key government agencies. The new guy may as well become a King if he can do enough corrupt deals with the people who are supposed to be the checks and balances.

Now you are just making shit up. I didn't misunderstand I just ignored it since it had nothing to do with the post you replied to.
Me? I'm not the one getting people mixed up and calling them "anti-western".
I agree - but I see that as part of the thing to fix instead of separate from it. I'm not suggesting getting rid of electoral colleges, just running them in a better way and a more consistent way - kind of like how US advisors supervise well run elections in other countries already.

Accenture - those guys who had to change their name to get away from the stink of being mixed up with Enron?
The direct opposite appears to be true.
