  1. Re:Slow Clap on White House Weighs Personal Mobile Phone Ban For Staff (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Interesting that it's Trump that first comes to this conclusion, isn't it?

    What's interesting is that he comes to this conclusion rather than vetting White House staff and officials and considering not hiring people who lie on their security clearance forms.

    If you'd like, I could list the names of those people Trump hired who lied on their security clearance forms.

  2. Re:Reddit's stance confuses me. on Reddit, Twitter, and 200 Others Say Ending Net Neutrality Could Ruin Cyber Monday (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    In my experience and opinion, Reddit's discussion platform has been one of the least-neutral and least-open and least-free discussion platforms that I've ever encountered. If you don't express the "correct" opinions, you'll often be modded down. It's not unusual to be completely banned from subreddits merely for expressing a unique or unconventional opinion.

    Let me translate: "I posted child porn and calls for Jews to be exterminated and subreddits banned me!"

    If you do not want to be traced, stop carrying an electronic beacon..

    So basically, what you're saying is, "If you don't want your phone calls eavesdropped, you should not use a device that broadcasts them over radio frequency."

    If police should need a warrant to listen in on phone calls, they should need a warrant for location information as well. Remember, this location information is between you and the phone company.

    And why is it such a horrible burden for law enforcement to obtain a warrant in the first place? Is it because they're afraid a judge will look at their lack of evidence and say "no"?

    Well, I was getting a lapdance from a one-armed stripper, but the fact that I was in the vicinity doesn't prove anything.

    the Supreme Court allocates itself the power to arbitrarily re-instate an administrative rule that was overturned by the same administrative body that implemented the rule in the first place.

    That's not even close to what they'd be doing. You are characterizing it dishonestly. It merely states that the SCOTUS can rule on whether or not a law (or regulation) is legal.

    It has been that way since founding fathers still walked the land.

    How you can say that Trump's tweet addresses anything "SPECIFICALLY"
      is beyond me. It is factually inaccurate and displays no indication that Trump understands any part of what he's tweeting about.

    And he was elected. You can't argue "Will of the people" in this case.

    It was the will of 3 million fewer people than his opponent. You can say Trump is legitimately the president, but you cannot say that he represents the "will of the people", nor that he has any sort of popular mandate.

    Relentlessly portraying Putin as the demonic mastermind behind all that's going wrong in the West is wearing a bit thin for me.

    Too fucking bad.

    We've got a president who JUST TODAY issued a coordinated statement with Vladimir Putin saying that there should be a crackdown on CNNi. That fat orange motherfucker's administration has Russian connections that they lied about in such numbers that when Putin sneezes, Trump catches a cold.

    I sincerely don't give a single fuck for what's "wearing thin" for you and what's not.

    As for Putin himself, he's not the Antichrist. He's just a hard-headed pragmatist trying to keep Russia afloat, using whatever tools he has, which is a pretty unenviable task.
