Oh, I've brought up the problems of windmills killing birds before and a common reply is the far greater number of birds killed by domestic cats. If your "domestic cat" is hunting bald eagles then I suspect your "domestic cat" is also on the endangered species list.
If you're so bothered by that, then why aren't you more bothered by the gutting of species protection under Trump?
Frontiersmen style hats as a must have fashion accessory?
Whenever I travel overseas, the thing I hear most is people from other countries complaining that they're not able to buy products from American craftsmen and artisans. After that, they say they wish they could contract herpes.
For the record, with the exception of Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer, who chose for some reason to do this via an executive order, which leaves it open to challenge and other forms of circumvention, all of these new laws requiring all government communications to be public were proposed by Democrats.
and they should never be used to protect someone close to the president, as was done for Nixon by Ford
Oh, that's not the worst one. Are you old enough to remember George H.W. Bush pardoning the six convicted Iran/Contra criminals (including NRA official Oliver North)? It was done to prevent the imminent trial of Casper Weinberger, in which the president himself would have been implicated in crimes.
People are (quite rightly) shocked and amazed at the sheer level of corruption and conspiracy in the Trump Administration, but they forget just how bad the Reagan/Bush administrations were. They were so corrupt it would make a Chicago alderman blush.
You obviously aren't FUCKING READING you brain-damaged fucktard.
Jesus man, take it easy. You're going to give yourself a stroke.
You RETARD. Learn how to read and comprehend you fucking middle-school failure.
Look, go outside. Take a minute to reflect on whether it's really worth it to get that worked up over a guy's comment on Slashdot. When you're done with that, I'll buy you a beer and we can enjoy the rest of the day.
Nah, in the US, they're just bullied into killing themselves like Aaron Swartz or Kalief Browder. Different method, same result. Yay America.
Here is a list of the journalists killed in Russia under Putin. I stopped counting at 100, and I had barely gotten to the Mevedev years. There were still a lot more to go. This isn't all of Putin's enemies who have been killed, just the journalists.
A sovereign state with a neural position on the split between the iron curtain and the western bloc
You're silly. It was nothing of the sort.
During the height of the cold war they managed to sell America the infamous Yugo,
The Cold War ran from 1947 to 1991. The Yugo, marketed with the help of Armand Hammer, did not start selling in the US until 1984. If you believe that was the "height" of the Cold War, then nothing you say in this discussion can be taken seriously.
The statute of limitations would have been hit in August 2020. #1-3 are already expired.
Do statutes of limitations still run when the accused is a fugitive? I know that's not the case in the US. If I rob a bank and evade police for 5 years, I don't get to start living large in the sixth year and thumb my nose at the cops.
When an accused is a fugitive, the statute of limitations is "tolled", which means suspended, during the time he is a fugitive.
Do you expect Trump to pardon him if he's in fact done something illegal?
Every living person that Trump has pardoned has done something illegal. That's why they call it a "pardon". Not because he was really innocent, but because he had been found guilty. By a judge and/or jury. And sentenced. To jail.
Wikileaks has taken a rather extreme pro-America attitude
He's got a lot of cozy contacts with the FSB for a guy with a "rather extreme pro-America attitude".
This is the new tack that the alt-right goofballs are taking: "Putin was trying the help the US when he installed Trump as president. Putin is really pro-American!"
You have to admit that the US incarcerates more of its population (%-wise) than even authoritarian countries.
At least the US usually charges them with a crime before incarcerating them. In some countries, you just "accidentally" fall out of a 5th floor window, or mysteriously bump into some neurotoxin.
What do you think Yugoslavia was? I've lived and worked in Belgrade and own property there and in Montenegro. I am well aware of the former Soviet influence in Yugoslavia and Putin's current attempts to exert control there.
know that some Americans such as yourself are completely ignorant about the rest of the world, but there are actually more countries than just America and Russia
Russia has it's eye on Slovenia. It was a Soviet client state once, and it will be again if Putin has his way.
If you really want to get your opinion heard, it's best to write it down on a piece of paper, as long as that paper is also a check for $250,000 made out to "cash" or the Donald J. Trump Legal Defense Fund, Inc.

If you're so bothered by that, then why aren't you more bothered by the gutting of species protection under Trump?
Or are you just playing games?
Everything you need to know about the state of the union, right there.

Or a private cell phone. Or a super-secret Cone of Silence that was built into the office of the EPA administrator at taxpayer expense.

Finally, we will have dogs that Mike Huckabee's son won't be able to torture to death.

Already have that power within you, you do, Padawan. A "feature" you need not, when your own mind you control.

You have to admit, it's impressive how well alt-right jackoffs have familiarized themselves with the laws governing consent to sex.

Or that he has Vladimir Putin on speed dial (nickname, "Daddy")

It's like the "law" that says undercover cops have to tell you the truth if you ask them if they're a cop. I read about it online.

No.

Japan wasn't a world player in 1935.
That's not a very nice way to talk about the First Lady.
Fake news. These colors don't run. Except from Putin.
There is an American flag on the Moon, so I assume Vladimir Putin believes it now belongs to him.
