I thought it was due to technical limitations, like communication latency.
If you want to revisit the Constitution based on the fact that "technology has changed", we can do that. But beware. Some of your most hallowed Amendments might go by the wayside.
But I agree with you that the Constitution is a living document.
Every election is rigged by design, because of the electoral college system. If you're just now figuring out that the elections are rigged, you slept through civics and should probably refrain from contributing to political conversations.
The Founding Fathers created the electoral college system specifically to prevent populist perverts like Trump becoming president.
If anyone has a beef with the electoral college, take it up with the Founding Fathers.
'96 Civics are some good cars. Someday when I have time, I'm going to get one and put those low-profile tires on it and the ground effects and lower it and fix it up like a proper tuner. Decals. Loud stereo so I can fuck with my neighbors. I'll just set it in my driveway and wash and wax it like all the time.
The president kept going on about WMDs in Iraq. When Canada was asked for help we said show us the evidence and our Parliament will vote on the matter. The US wouldn't even show the "evidence" to the party leaders. So we didn't go.
I agree that we don't know the truth in this matter, beyond Vlad Putin's desire to fuck with the US and see Trump elected.
My argument was that the information about the Russian hacks was not coming from "anonymous sources", but from state and federal officials on both sides of the political aisle. If you want "anonymous sources", you'll have to go to Wikileaks.
It shows how rigged this whole thing is that they have a place that's covered in ice and call it "Greenland". Completely rigged. The crooked media doesn't want you to know that it's covered in ice. It's a disgrace.
When I'm president, we'll make Greenland green again. There will be the most beautiful golf courses in Greenland, believe me.
"On the basis of what we've looked at, we certainly believe that there's a connection to the Equation Group malware," said David Emm, Kaspersky's principal security researcher, told the BBC. "I've thought from the very beginning that it was real," added Mikko Hypponen at security company F-Secure.
"FBI investigators believe the the hacks and attempted intrusions of state election sites were carried out by hackers working for Russian intelligence."
Make up your mind. Is the US government an all-seeing intrusive eye that's hoovering up every bit of our data on the internet or are they unable to figure out that Russians are behind the hacks? It's unlikely that both conditions are true.
If Putin will kill a critic with polonium, imprison three young girls for making fun of him and enact legislation making being gay a crime, do you really doubt that he'd take the relatively low-cost step of trying to help out his pal and debtor Donald become president? Especially if he can gin up a new cold war to distract his subjects from the Russian economy which is in free fall?
Wait until some asshole injects politics into a story about plants... oh, nevermind.
Hang in there. It'll all be over in a few weeks. Well, to be honest it was all over back in August, but some dead horses really deserve a good beating.
Statements by 'anonymous government sources' don't count.
The Russian hacks of the state election systems were not announced by "anonymous sources". They came directly from the FBI, as well as election officials in Arizona (red state) and Illinois (blue state). Oh, and Florida (red state).
For personal experience, I can tell you (as can anyone else) that contractors will screw up on a regular basis.
We're talking about people who catered his lunch. Also, I'm guessing that with Trump's many bankruptcies (personal and business) there were more than a few legitimate businesses and individuals who didn't get paid. Not to mention investors.
The correct response is to refuse to pay the contractor until the contract is fulfilled.
So, to bring it back on topic, can you imagine a low-income family refusing to pay Comcast for broadband because the service was down for 5 days last month?
Seriously? You want to paint 'wealthy' as more (or equally) likely to not pay their bills than a low-income people based on the corporate actions taken by one company over 40 years?
Yes. I just did that.
When a rich guy doesn't pay his bills, it adds up to a lot more money than when a poor family is unable to pay AT&T.
A review of court filings from jurisdictions in 33 states, along with interviews with business people, real-estate executives and others, shows a pattern over Mr. Trump’s 40-year career of his sometimes refusing to pay what some business owners said Trump companies owed them.
A chandelier shop, a curtain maker, a lawyer and others have said Mr. Trump’s companies agreed to buy goods and services, then reneged when some or all were delivered.
I'm not for a moment suggesting Trump is a 'KGB agent', but he has business history is Russia
More than just "business interests". Most Western banks won't do business with him any more, citing him as a bad risk. The only place left for him to get money for his "projects" is the Russian oligarchy.
The one Western bank that will still deal with Trump is Deutsche Bank, and their stock price has taken a huge hit.

That's the thing about Chinese astronauts. A half hour after you launch one, you want to launch another.
I choose to look for the good in everyone.
Welp...
Worthless is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn't go for the big spoiler, but I would very much like the loud muffler.
Nah, that's not a small penis compensator. Now THIS is a small penis compensator:

You might as well start calling her "President Clinton", so you can get used to it. Call it aversion therapy.

"Everyone is in on the conspiracy except the cocaine-bloated corpses of Andrew Breitbart and Alex Jones"
"The FBI, and the election officials in Arizona (R), Illinois (D) and Florida (R) could all be lying!
It's not proven until Breitbart, SputnikINT and RT.com say it is."

Finally, absolute proof that so-called "open source" is really just a Marxist Kenyan plot to take away our liberties!
