Yes, I thought the same things mulling over the Russian connection.
But like any complex political scenario(like Iran) I imagine there are different "camps" in the power structures of Moscow(regardless of Putins hold over things), with some wanting Trump as you describe and others wanting Clinton for their own reasons.
I am not opposed to Hilary because she is a woman. I am opposed to Hilary because she has a decades long record of making horrible decision, which often result in the unnecessary deaths of civilians and other non-combatants.
If that is your real reason you need to actually read some history of presidential decisions then, because they have all done that.
You know I read your posts and sometimes you sound like a smart guy.
Then you say something like this:
Apropos of nothing, does your Gamergate logic explain why so many people voted for him?
Wow... really?
Do you understand or pay attention to the recent political events over the past few months?
The voting you refer to is Republican Primary voting.
Not a general election.
Do you understand the types of voters that show up to vote in primaries?
It has been well established that the fringe and more extreme voters of either party are more likely to vote in primaries.
I've been telling friends, relatives, coworkers and strangers about snopes for years.
I've been telling friends, relatives, coworkers and strangers about just "googling" things for years.
But I am still amazed at how much bullshit and lies people continue to spew forth because they hadn't fact checked anything.
The truth about Nixon is that he was living in an age with basically a single-source media - Television.
Only someone with absolutely no knowledge of history would say this.
Newspapers were still the major source of news in the early 1970s.
Especially investigative journalism of the sort that exposed Nixon.
Or any of the dozens of times they've suddenly found themselves surrounded by hundreds of zombies in the middle of an open field or on the highway, while they had lookouts?
This is really the main reason I stopped watching.
Calling the writers idiotic is going easy.
Yea, I stopped watching it a season or two ago, it just got too ridiculous.
But if you ever mention this to rabid fans you get the same tired excuse, "its a comic book!"
Maybe thats why I always read actual books...
The tragedy is this show had promise, and could have been something really good.
Instead it ended up with writers who really need their asses kicked...
It always made me wonder what the process was when the writers, etc, were sitting around, kicking around ideas of what was going to happen in the episodes/seasons.
Agreed that this isn't new, more like describing another star system taken over by the Empire...
The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers
Unfortunately, we don't have any Jedi to get us out of this one.
The abortion part is clickbait. What this is about is if privacy laws should be stricter in the US.
Thank you for pointing out what should be obvious.
Why isn't it obvious?
Because many, or actually most of the people who post to/. have what I would call "slashdotitis". Slashdotitis is a commonly occurring degenerative disorder whereby someone will blabber endlessly in a post about completely idiotic shit without even "grokking" WTF the point of the parent, linked article is. Usually the blabbering occurs about a "hot button" issue like gun control, abortion, environmental regulations, climate change, etc; you know, those fun "culture war" topics that people watch Fox News to get updates on...
You're right, this isn't about abortion. It never was, and people who waste their time arguing over that are ridiculous, especially here, where you would(but we don't) expect a bit of a higher standard when it comes to assessing the underlying points of an article.
As you say, this has EVERYTHING to do with privacy laws, and how personal data via phones and computers is used against the public.

Read "Manna" by Marshall Brain.
Next step should be to design robots to buy stuff online, otherwise with all jobs automated who is going to buy from Amazon?
They're already buying stuff.
How do you think they stay in business?
Perhaps they could triangulate your coordinates by which Wifi APs you are near.
Doesn't Google do that already?

This is what I've been telling my pro-Trump friends and relatives.
He is promising a ton of shit that will never see the light of day(like Sanders)
Average people aren't good at thinking pragmatically, but that is almost always the only way to get things done, especially in government.

The 2016 presidential election isn't about who will be elected POTUS.
The 2016 presidential election is about who won't be elected

God I love your sig.
Sounds like a great nickname for him!
Do it enough and we can get it Google bombed!

1998 called and wants their meme back...
Wait, they didn't have memes in 1998!

What were they thinking?
You just made the most ridiculous comment yet.
How does it feel?
This seems like something that will add capabilities not possible or practical with their current workforce.
It will synergistically disrupt platforms while enhancing cloud value.

For once I agree with you.
When the wealth created by companies like Google, and FB(eventually?) is based upon advertising.
Advertising?!? Really?

Mathematically, this swamps lives saved from a government type system as they are equations of a vastly different order.
Quixotically, this government systemically swells type and equates lives as its a new vastly different new world order.
