Hey, look! Somebody with reading comprehension and cognitive problems attempting to spin something in a childish way, and feeling smug! Which is exactly how the Democrats managed their last several elections, resulting in the loss of over 1000 legislative seats, both houses of congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court. But please, carry on! That would be awesome. Thanks.
Let me guess: you think that everything that's wrong with the country happened in the last four weeks, and is Trump's fault. So, you'd be totally OK with everything that's been wrong for the last eight years being entirely Obama's fault, right? No? I see.
What happens is that when people don't get punished for the first few things, they start to realize that the normal limits don't apply, and the bad sorts start pushing the envelope. Eventually...
... eventually you get Hillary Clinton in control of the Democrat party and being presumed to be the next president. But pendulum does always swing the other way. This sort of thing could easily damage Uber's reputation and user base, in a significant way, at the retail level. Just like with the election, people vote with their feet, especially when it's so easy to just go somewhere else (Lyft, etc).
In other words, all you have is a glib non-answer. Let me guess, prosperous people are evil because... prosperity is bad unless it's being taken from them and given to someone else, in which case it's an important resource to be mined.
So, how does the fact that your neighbor's start up business really takes off and he starts to make a lot of money result in the government taking away your rights? Be specific, instead of trying to change the subject (again).
So, your complaint is that someone with money who killed people was allowed to get away with it, while someone with less money would have been properly convicted?
Sounds like your main complaint is about the quality of lawyers who are being asked to handle cases for (relatively) low pay. Why aren't you addressing that? You should be asking for higher taxes specifically to pay for attracting more top legal talent to traditionally low-paying gigs. Right?
But nice attempt at deflection, there. How does the fact that OJ Simpson was making more money than the landscaping guy who watered his lawn for him mean that the landscaping guy was "losing his rights?" Specifically: which right has the landscaper lost, as someone else suddenly gets a big paycheck?
You say that, and yet, despite historically great conditions the French still rose up and killed the aristocracy.
So what you're saying is that you have absolutely no understanding of history. Which is fine. But so long as you stay in that mode, consider keeping your nonsense zipped. You're just embarrassing yourself.
and how is inequality not leading to the destruction of individual freedoms?
No, the burden is on YOU to explain how the fact that your neighbor makes twice your income is somehow destroying, say, your freedom of speech. Be specific.
Because that might mean that autism is already setting in before certain Eeeeeevil vaccines have been given.
Of course those government vaccines may have secret alien time travel substances which go back to start the autism before they are administered. That seems most likely.
No, I was pointing out actual lying and cheating by the people running the DNC. That you and millions of others want to pretend to consider that to be merely theater is exactly why the Democrats have lost nearly a thousand state legislative seats, most of the governorships, both houses of congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court. Looking forward to more condescending tut-tutting, smug lefty sneering, and shrill phony outrage in advance of the upcoming legislative elections, when the non-stop losing pattern on the part of the Dems will continue, costing them even more of their dwindling minority in congress. Thanks in advance for your hard work in keeping that streak alive!
You're right. The RNC establishment's non-stop catering to Trump's every need during the election was such a spectacle. Oh, right... that didn't happen. The party and the media were utterly hostile to him, as opposed to, say, slipping him debate questions in advance, courtesy of the woman who is STILL running the DNC machinery.
Except, note that you are quick to say the Russians had "something" to do with the election, but aren't saying that they actually changed your mind about who to vote for. If they didn't change your vote, how DID they impact the election? By allowing people to see that the DNC, behind the scenes, are a bunch of hypocritical, lying manipulators who are quick to trot out the occasional racist remark and cheat during debates? Sure. But everyone already knew that sort of thing about them. Did those revelations change your vote? No? I see.
Every place but Africa and India is wired pretty good with fiber
That's hilarious. Spoken like a true Coastal.
Try driving, say, 45 minutes away from your nearest three-coffee-shops intersection, into any even slightly rural area in the US, and then get back to us with a re-evaluation of that comment. No, everyone outside of your apartment building isn't a redneck. Many of them make plenty of money, and can't buy broadband at twice what you're paying. Or ten times what you're paying. Because stringing fiber down a twenty mile road that's home to five houses is financially foolish for the ISPs. Which you know, but you're pretending not to, so you can act like this is all about that part of Africa you're sure isn't a market.
You mean, those places where a middle class family makes less than Americans living below the poverty line?
Yes, them. Where the cost of living is a fraction of what it is in the US. Which you know, but are pretending you don't so you can have a nice little OMG INEQUALITY! rant inside your bubble. Have fun with that.
The group wanting to alter the board of directors by tossing out the company's founder are NOT all FB shareholders. Which you know, but are trying to pretend you don't.
No, they found that the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and her boss, Obama, repeatedly, deliberately, and for purely political purposes right before an election where his narrative about terrorists being "on the run" was a central campaign talking point, lied, lied, and lied some more about what happened, why it happened, and how they responded to it. Their were multiple investigations into it because Clinton herself, the State Department, and the rest of the Obama administration were deliberately non-responsive to subpoenas and other requests for information. The Obama administration foot-dragged and slow-walked at every opportunity, and Clinton herself lied and had her associated and staff lie continuosly for months. You think that's "nothing," but what it did was contribute to voters' understanding of just how corrupt she is, and in what contempt she holds the people she wanted power over. Of the many things that cost her the election, her display of deceit and obfuscation over the deaths of people under her on her watch, and her craven attempts to spin a fantasy version of events and cover up what happened was a key part of it. "Nothing," indeed.
Republicans realize they have more to fear from Trump reading their emails than Obama...
No, they just had Obama promising to veto any such thing. Republicans tabled all sorts of legislation because of that obstructionism. Which is fine. It's supposed to be an adversarial relationship, between those two co-equal branches of government.
The news is that Facebook rats you out. So don't use Facebook if you don't want its database wielded against you.
No, the news is that some of the idiot lefties who plan ahead for weeks about how they're going to smash and burn things, gab about it on social media, because they are idiots. Most violent thugs are dim-witted. The stuff-smashing wing of the liberal protest groups are the disposable fools of the progressive camp. Their smarter liberal counterparts don't caution their cannon fodder about how to avoid this sort of lunacy, because they WANT them to be out smashing and burning, and to be able to say, "Oh, that's not us, we just block streets being used by ambulances carrying sick people - we don't actually break anything. Except for Starbucks."
Hey look! Fake News from the Snowflake News Network.
Please explain, specifically, how you come to this conclusion. Or are you in the "arson is just protest" school of thought? You are? Great. Thanks for demonstrating (so to speak) exactly why liberals have been losing state legislative seats and governorships for the last six years, along with both houses of congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court. Please continue with your way of thinking in advance of the next legislative elections, so this trend can continue.

Everyone knows that only liberal protesters at places like Berkeley and anti-Trump events are allowed to talk about and do that sort of thing.

So, basically you're delusional. That's fine, just don't do anything dangerous to the rest of us, like voting.
Hey, thanks for proving me right! Always nice to see the lefties out doing the work of showing what vitriolic fools they are. Appreciate it!

If someone uses fake news then by definition they're not a progressive.
Thank you so much. Funniest thing I've read all day. Whew! Good one.

Considering shareholders third party is strange.
The group wanting to alter the board of directors by tossing out the company's founder are NOT all FB shareholders. Which you know, but are trying to pretend you don't.
And what did they find? Nothing.
No, they found that the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and her boss, Obama, repeatedly, deliberately, and for purely political purposes right before an election where his narrative about terrorists being "on the run" was a central campaign talking point, lied, lied, and lied some more about what happened, why it happened, and how they responded to it.

Third party organization wants to oust founder of company from board of directors because of their activism in the area of "power grab."

So now under Trump... protesting is illegal.
