President Clinton was under oath, and it was an action taken whilst he was in office, and physically IN his office. President Trump was not president at the time, was not in his office, nor was he under oath. If you don't see the difference in the scope of impact of the lie...
I am one. I had a nice, $100/month catastrophic plan that had a $10,000 deductible. I covered all costs, out of pocket, for the first $10K. They covered everything above that. No chiropractic, no pregnancy coverage (I am male), no pediatric (no children), no mental health. Just physical health insurance. Obamacare came in, and my plan was dropped as "not compliant". The next cheapest I could find forced me to cover for pregnancy, pediatric, health, and alternative (like chiro and acupuncture). It was $380/month, AND had a $6450 deductible. So my annual costs were almost 4 times the amount, and between the monthly cost increase and the deductible - I still had about $10K out of pocket. Solid loss all around...
On cable, yes - Fox News wins. However, Fox's 2.5 million primetime viewers is well behind ABC's 8.8 million viewers. All the OTA news channels crush anything on cable - and would most likely have a LOT more influence due to their much larger viewerships.
Used to be you could buy high-deductible catastrophic plans for very low cost. That kind of changed with mandated Obamacare where everyone had to buy full-suite insurance (including things like pediatric and mental health care, whether you had children or mental issues or not). Prices exploded on the bottom end...
No, it's not. It has less than 9% market share. Not even double digits. Windows has ten times that amount, owning nearly 90% of the entire market. There is, in fact, only a single major OS in desktop - all others are small, specialty offerings.
And if you want to discount mobile, that's fine - then it's just Windows as the only major OS in the world. If you want to include mobile, then it's a duopoly - Windows and Android (which also has a Windows-like market penetration with iOS a vastly far behind 2nd place).
Yeah, it was a lie about a private individual's actions. Much better than lying about not having sex with that woman, or that I could keep my doctor...
Collusion is not illegal (interference is), and collusion has no evidence behind it (but interference does). And Obama explicitly told his cyber security chief to ignore the documented Russian interference in the election. It's not ignorance - it's willful action to aid and abet.
Central America is the most murderous region in the world. An order of magnitude higher than than the US, in fact. I see a lot of Central and South America and Africa and Asia well before the US or Canada. And of course Europe includes Moldova, Russia and Ukraine, all of which are more murderous than the US.
US Corporate tax rate is 21% for all activities. So all of Google - which is not trading income - would be a lower tax rate in the US. It will probably stay in Ireland just because of inertia and convenience, but if suddenly it gets more expensive because of EU fines, there is really no financial reason to stay in Ireland any more.
It doesn't justify ignoring it - and no one is. What IS being denied (and has zero evidence to support the claim) is that Russia colluded with the Trump campaign. It's one thing to interfere - it's another to collude. There's nothing about collusion, even to the point that Rod Rosenstein EXPLICITLY states as much. Russia is a problem - but not the way the main media and the Democrats are playing it.
It is curious, though, how few Democrats (none) are taking President Obama to task for his willful ignorance and outright interference in Russian meddling...
You have Germany. Then you have everyone else. The State of California alone has a GDP greater than all of the EU save Germany. As Germany goes, so goes the EU. So all we really need to worry about is Germany - push them as needed, and the rest of the EU will fall in line.
To "hurt" the EU, you only have to hurt Germany. Germany is the economic heart of the EU; all other members of the EU are smaller, GDP-wise, than California. Put the pressure on Germany, and Germany will insist the EU yield - as it has done in the past. The EU thinks it's all unified, but put pressure on just the singular player (Germany) and its chancellor (Merkel) and you can get what you want. And Merkel isn't too popular right now, I bet having some big car and pharmaceutical import duties on German products would bring them right in-line mach schnell!
With the now lower (to EU standards) corporate income tax in the US, there is suddenly a lot less reason to keep a company based in Ireland or elsewhere. Your tax load is not longer twice as high in the US; Google may very well decide that an extra percent or two of income tax is no longer a barrier, and just leave.
Especially when you consider the "boogeyman" that the Democrats now attack, was dismissed by the same Democrats as "irrelevant" in the 2012 election. And that all these supposed attacks/hacks/collusion happened with 100% knowledge - and effectively explicit blessing (via commands to "stand down" and not attempt to stop) - of the Obama Administration.
Given that Facebook, Amazon, and Alphabet dropped 8 figures to license the patent, there's a good chance it's solid enough to survive at least $20-$30 million of legal challenges - meaning, it's probably pretty solid.
Nah, it was about $3000. Unless you buy REALLY cheap used cars. And whilst a desktop is definitely nice (I have a 27" monitor at my home office), that desktop is hardly portable now, is it? Meaning when I'm on the road (which is about 70% of the time) I cannot actually do work. Yes, you can get desktop-class laptops, and no, they do not cost a huge amount - as long as it's not Apple, that is...

Bill Clinton was crucified over his actions in the media, and even faced a impeachment.
Bill Clinton was, in fact, impeached.

You asked about major OSes, and implied that MacOS was a major OS. It is not.
Yeah, it was a lie about a private individual's actions. Much better than lying about not having sex with that woman, or that I could keep my doctor...
There are really only 2 major OSes: Windows and Android. Both have more than 80% market share. All other OSes are, in fact, bit/minor players.
Or was it the chemtrails, not taking full effect on him? Mulder and Scully want to know!

You can get a Kona, Leaf, or Bolt for $35K; you can't get a Tesla for $35K. You're comparing a non-existent vehicle with others that DO exist.
So - not canceled, just delayed yet another 4-5 months?

Yes let us take a look. First place is Central America, then Africa, then South America, then Asia. Why do you hate brown people?

Democrats ridiculed Romney over his concerns about Russia. And President Obama told the cyber chief to stand down with regards to Russian interference in the 2016 election. And now suddenly it's all bad Russia and it's all President Trump's fault?
I like patents. I license some hardware patents to big guys like Microsoft...

Can you really remove them? Or just hide them from the home screen?
