Him and what army? Any U.S. President who tried that would lose their control of the military. Military members swear to defend the constitution. If a president wanted dictatorship, martial law with suspension of elections would be a better choice, but that would require something so severe that it would cause the American Civil War to pale in comparison, considering the elections still happened then.
How much trouble could it be for the coders of Slashdot to really limit the length of the initial part of posts to limit the nuisance caused by the person who keeps posting lengthy nonsense? It sounds like an easy fix which should be done immediately.
OMG Please yes! GP had 727 lines of SPAM before the slashcode cut off the text. That's abnormal. Tangentially related: does anyone know of a HOSTS-file based method to filter out those posts? *evilgrin*
It is our suspect. He has white T-shirt in the earlier picture. He just zipped up his black jacket and now it appears black. He has the same tan pants on. He also has the same black and white cap.
What about the red jacket? It's not red in the videos at all (and the videos were in color as pink and yellow girls show). Where'd his sunglasses go? Why is there more white on the cap than before? Why does the cap front look more burgundy colored than black? I'm not convinced. Maybe this dude's the smart one and switched out hat et al before #2 set his bomb, but then we've lost most of the ID until better HD photos surface.
Also to the right of the girl in pink is a dude with tan pants similar to the other dude in the fbi photos. Hat similar too.
Nope, Mr tan pants next to pink girl in that photo has a white hat with burgundy front and a dark? shirt. The suspect from the the video has a fully dark hat and a white shirt. Also the photo guy has a red coat, and video guy's coat doesn't look red.
Quite often when you see something, even something not particularly dangerous but more annoying like an airport, that is in a populated area and say "Why the hell didn't they build it out in the middle of nowhere?" the answer is often that they did. When they built it, there was nothing around, but things grew up around it, or grew nearer and nearer to it.
Yet, still to happen in the US Congress.
That wouldn't happen naturally, so they planned a city (D.C.) to be built for that purpose.
That's how it should be. When you hear the name of a representative or senator that you recognize, that person has been in office for a while. They should be ousted and brought back only after a term hiatus.
I met a man who was shot in the chest by a mugger, and the man shot the mugger in the face. The mugger was a good shot, but the victim survived, and the mugger didn't. He was an old coot too.
Being the final iteration of something doesn't always mean something bad. How many dramatic improvements have you seen with spoons lately? And everyone has a lot of them in their drawers. Spoon manufacturers seem to still be making profits.
everything I have read or watched about the Tea Party
keep in mind that several media sources seek to mischaracterize political parties, and almost all of them in the US seek to mischaracterize parties beyond the "big two".
shows them to be right wing even by US standards,
True, but probably not in the way you mean
anti-government,
Anti big government. Anarchists are anti-government.
anti-tax,
Some tea party members believe that federal income tax is unconstitutional due to some technicality. All of them believe that over-taxation is a problem.
obsessed with "the Constitution"
True. In theory, every political party in the US is obsessed with the Constitution.
so as to justify repealing all civil rights legislation,
The worst of the mischaracterizations. The Tea Party is not a racist organization. There are probably more racists by both absolute numbers and percentage in the Democratic Party than in the Tea Party (the southern US has many more Democrats who are "good ol' boys"). There have been many blatant lies about Tea Party rallies in the media, referring to them as KKK rallies, media images being photoshopped to remove black Tea Party members to make the rallies look all-white, black political figures lying about racial epithets, etc.
To bring this point back to the Constitution, the 14th amendment, section 5 prescribes the need for civil rights legislation: "The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
against firearms restrictions,
2nd amendment. Plenty of R's and D's are against further firearm restrictions too (Although tea party members seem to dislike all current restrictions)
against any non-private healthcare provision and so on
Only non-private healthcare provisions created by the federal government, as the Constitution of the United States doesn't give the fedgov such power. Barring a new amendment, the proper place for government-run health care is at the state-level (assuming the individual state constitutions allow it).
You're going to get exactly the type of government you deserver and go fuck yourself when it happens because my wallet will be closed to your sorry ass
If he gets the government he thinks he wants, your wallet - along with everyone else's - will be open to the Glorious State, which will provide us with bread lines and busy work.
This is all a plot by the guvmint to take away are guns!! Stoopid obummer!
It doesn't have to be a plot. A convenient attack by enemy forces will have the same result (liberty being targeted).
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
I think instead they'll find out the bombs were propane, gasoline, kerosene, or some other common thing to buy, and we'll all have to start on rations for the "explosive materials" just like we're only allowed X number of sudafed tablets per year because of meth heads. People will have to file for special exemptions to get more fuel. Now that spring is here, people may not even think about kerosene or heating oil exemptions until after the bill is passed.
Explosives have been legal ever since they were made. They're just heavily regulated. Using explosives in the way they were used today is illegal though. That doesn't stop the tragedy (nothing can), but it does allow a legal framework for prosecution, and in theory, the threat of prosecution will stop some people from blowing other people up.
Yes, but they can't figure out what you were thinking, only the pattern it creates for the brain scan. It's like a salted and hashed passphrase from the perspective of the brain scanner You could even tell someone else what to think, but the hashing algorithm (your physical brain) is an extra secret they can't replicate...for the time being.

Better than Imperial Stormtroopers and Cobra.
2) declaration of dictatorship

%&@$ autocorrect!
The President has already been re-elected so he wouldn't have anything to gain by it
The senate could instill him as emperor of the republic until the war with the trade federation is over.
Dead men walking.
Along with anyone who looks like them.

Oh wait, there is no such suspect.

He backed his scientific hypothesis with money and his hypothesis was wrong. How does that make him a great scientist or a poor gambler?

Even in cars with steering wheel on the right, gas is still right and brake left.
And they're on the left side of the car, which makes for some interesting driving.
Being the final iteration of something doesn't always mean something bad. How many dramatic improvements have you seen with spoons lately? And everyone has a lot of them in their drawers. Spoon manufacturers seem to still be making profits.
And the rootkit opened up security vulnerabilities on the computers in question. All from just "playing" a legally purchased music CD.

with a 100 year history you can imagine this is a large selection of material.
What year are you from, and can I borrow your time machine? I promise not to screw with history too much.
