    Hi Russian troll. We see you.

    Note: All of what I claimed has evidence to back up. You insinuations of Trump and Russia colluding doesn't have evidence. You are a complete moron for bringing up this topic to bash Trump, when it has now been proven Clinton is ACTUALLY guilty of it. But then again you have hit peak stupidity.

    Hi Russian troll. It's not going to work. Our eyes are open now.

    Whenever I see an "shocking" article about Russia, my first thought is, "Why the shock that countries work for their own interest and against their enemies?"

    What's shocking is that we now have a political movement in this country that's friendly to an aggressive foreign power (on the record, Trump said it), encouraged (we have Trump Jr's email) and facilitated (TBD) meddling in our political system. It used to be you could count on whoever was in power to defend the US. Whether they liked patchouli or crewcuts they'd be flipping the f*** out over the idea that Russian agents were (or are) "working" for some aspect of the highest office in this country.

    Should there be some legal way for the studio to bump up the price so they can earn the maximum on their earlier works?

    Pretty sure the studio can sell licenses to their games at any price they like. If you meant go back and change the terms of a sale they've already completed, no, of course they can't do that and I don't see how that's relevant.

    So by that definition any and all campaign contributions and advertising paid for by money from illegal immigrants is the same violation and as such fits the left's definition of collusion.

    Agreed. What is this two wrongs make a right?

    So if say a group like Latino Victory buys an ad featuring minority kids chased by a truck [washingtonpost.com] on behalf the Democrat candidate, then shouldn't we investigate to find out if Latino Victory receives donations from illegals and is therefor in violation of US campaign laws?

    I don't know about the laws you'll need to consult a lawyer.

    I was not aware of Latino Victory until 30 seconds ago, but they appear to be a US-based Latino lobbying group. If they are US-based then no it's not the same thing. If they are funded by non-US citizens then yes that seems possibly analogous, to my IANAL mind, to accusations around Trump.

    I really don't get your point though. Because there's some other impropriety, we should ignore all of them? NO we should investigate all of them. So go fight to get Latino Victory investigated (if that's your beef), and stop fighting to prevent the investigation around Trump. Sheesh.

    Did it determine the outcome of the election? I doubt it.

    The issue is that a foreign power even attempted to influence a US election. You're being fed information telling you this is a witch hunt to reverse the election result or impeach Trump. It's not. That's not going to happen any sane person knows that.

    If you think someone did, prove it.

    Proof: the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on advertising each year. Folks don't spend that without proof it sells the product.

    And if you think reading a fake article about how candidate ____________ made some illegal _________ when they were ___________ can't affect someone's vote, you're mentally handicapped.

    This seems like standard cold war tactics.

    Aggressive foreign powers offering to trade political dirt for ease of sanctions?

    No, that's not standard. Shame on you for justifying that in the name of your chosen political party. There are things bigger than whether Obamacare is repealed and whether you get a 0.005% tax cut. Get with the program.

    It's fake. It never happened.

    And typical for your persuasion you think that calling it fake dismisses all of the evidence. It doesn't.

  14. His company is CANADIAN! Why the hell should he care about NSA?

    Yes, because who ever heard of a company selling products outside of their country or origin?!?

  15. The rule is applied equally to all registered voters

    The suggestion is that it may not be. If the officials applying that rule flag "Maria Gonzalez" in greater proportion than "Sally Smith", that's unequal application of the rule. I believe they are saying this *could* be used as a tool for voter suppression (based on race) since names often identify race.

  16. Enough so that the FBI withdrew their request.

    It was withdrawn because the device was cracked by an Israeli firm.

    BB's CEO seems like he's ready to just roll over on you.

    Saying you'll comply with a court order isn't rolling over. What should he have done when asked? "BB promises to disobey local laws and regulations". He'd have been promptly dismissed by the board for gross negligence.

  17. For the life of me, I can't imagine how this would affect "voters of color" more than it would any lighter skinned race.

    The suggestion is it's in the unequal application of the rule.

  18. Is he just saying stupid shit like this so he can get fired and collect his golden parachute?

    The Blackberry CEO didn't say anything other than he'd comply with the "right" court order, which is true for anyone that wants to avoid going to jail. You might have to read further than the headline next time before you post.

    By land mass it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 3%/97%.

    If 97% of the population, and 70% of the land mass (I meant states leaning one way or the other), there would not be a deadlock. The 70% would get their way (as they should). There'd be a 70% president, and 70% congress that could do whatever they wanted.

  22. Google had an awful time meeting demand.

    That's because they planned terribly and their store sucked.

    When it was out of stock, the only option was to keep checking back every day or whatever to see if it was now in stock. Why not let me back order? I'm not a child I can stand waiting but don't make me waste my time checking your website. I just want to order it and be done and not think about it anymore.

    All this during basically the only time they were going to sell any phones in the first place. By the time the device was in stock no one cared anymore the launch hype had been over for months.
