When Congress was envisioned, we were 13 colonies based on an agrarian economy, and no single centralized currency. Times change and a world power will have a large government administering a military, a welfare system, intelligence agencies etc.

Fixing inefficient programs is wonderful, but killing programs just to satisfy a philosophical itch is dogmatism at its worst.

Quite a few believed that Cosby was a saint too, and then the allegations started to mount up like they are mounting up against Trump

I take it you are familiar with case being brought against Trump by the girl who claims he raped her when she was just 13 years of age:

> Plaintiff Jane Doe, proceeding under a pseudonym, brings this action against Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, and alleges that: https://www.scribd.com/doc/316341058/Donald-Trump-Jeffrey-Epstein-Rape-Lawsuit-and-Affidavits

Yet I can buy a copy of the Starr Report which was published all the way back in 1998, when Clinton was still in office.

>It would be a criminal act for Barr to even let POTUS see the unredacted report.

Source on it being a criminal act to release to Congress or the public? Since I just linked to a previously published report that was available for purchase by anyone.

This is South Carolina's law. Seems to be similar and homicide is not mentioned as far as I read.

Read Texas' laws, weird and seemingly contradictory to Fed's laws. They are supposed to have the most stringent.

Haha, are you kidding me there are alternatives to Amazon.com:

https://jet.com/

http://www.alibaba.com/

Jet.com will probably be a better solution for Americans, it has some elements of Amazon (its own warehouse, buying club), however as you add more items to your cart the price goes down. If you care about carbon footprint for shipping, Jet.com is a better solution. To me it looks like they have warehouses set up with all of the goods they sell and try to ship everything out in one shipment, whereas Amazon that isn't always the case.

This.... after begging for tariffs against the Honda Goldwing back in the 1980's.

The errand boy is the U.S. Military, and Corporate interests reign supreme. Google War Is A Racket by Smedley Butler, and read his speech. Propaganda and blind patriotism is how they convince the masses to sacrifice the greatest cost for these corporate endeavours. They just wait for events, like 9/11, to roll out aggressive campaigns. Disaster capitalism, is one the biggest threats to humanity, and peace. Read The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein, if you don't believe me.

That's not necessarily true. The Republicans have already rejected an amendment to protect the mandatory pre-existing conditions coverage. They will repeal it first and then get bogged down on the replacement because Republicans can barely agree what day it is. This will result in millions losing coverage. It's a classic one step forward, two steps back situation.

You're welcome.

Instant video has a lot of shows I used to watch as a kid and ones I missed out on too. My sister and I share my account and we both marathon shows so between Netflix and Amazon we can catch up on our childhood.

Did you know that you can share the shipping benefits with 4 people? I share with my family and a few friends. They don't get all the other perks but 2 day shipping is nice for everyone.

Amazon has saved me many trips to the stores and the prices are usually better or close enough that my time spent driving and wandering the store would be a waste.

Camelcamelcamel.com is great for setting up price watches on products you want. I have a very long list of things I want. Set the watch to the price you want and it will send you an email when the price drops to that. You can also connect your wishlists to it. Their browser extension makes it easy to watch products you have open on Amazon.

It's a feature, not a bug. We had a prison for 24 years that was <em>intentionally</em> a bunch of tents in the middle of the desert, where prisoners were forced to work in 100+ degree heat and then given only terrible food and barrel drinks (yes those!) that they were made to pay for.

And enough of this country was so proud of it, there was a documentary in the 90's about how "great" it was.

I don't think it's for the really rich guys - they stay in the huge hyper-luxury resorts all around Mecca.

I think the tents are probably for "middle-class" pilgrims who can pay at least something towards their upkeep. I'll tell you though, even though the tents have AC, the miles of streets and 130 degree temps must be brutal.

In Muslim school, I would be saying "You want me to do what?? In summer??"

Clearly the Atlantic didn't read this article, released the day before:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/foia-documents-obtained-judicial-watch-181118192.html

"According to the Annals of Medicine: At present there are no significant data showing that either Gardasil or Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline) can prevent any type of cervical cancer since the testing period employed was too short to evaluate long-term benefits of HPV vaccination."

and

"This new information from the government shows that the serious safety concerns about the use of Gardasil have been well-founded," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Public health officials should stop pushing Gardasil on children."

&quot;Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: memory loss, mental/mood/behavior changes (such as new/worsening depression, abnormal thoughts, thoughts of suicide, hallucinations, confusion, agitation, aggressive behavior, anxiety).&quot;

can we collectively stop with the "pro-life" label for these people. they are not pro-life, they are &quot;pro-birth&quot;, which is fine. let's just call it what it is.

> I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life. That’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is. - Sister Joan Chittister

The art of the deal by used for 2.49 at Amazon

President Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost deal-maker.

This belief in a "free market" that regulates itself like magic amounts to unsupported religious belief.

Even Adam Smith put his free market ideas in a framework of a society that exerts some implied controls. Including import tarifs and a number of other controls and I do not think he would be in favor of our Government's current system of granting Corporate charters let alone personhood.

If [justice] is removed, the great, the immense fabric of human society, that fabric which to raise and support seems in this world if I may say so has the peculiar and darling care of Nature, must in a moment crumble into atoms.

Also there is nobody in who has the time or ability to identify a product once that product has become a "commodity". $1000 in pork bellies is $1000 in pork bellies, few people know the source.

Here's a source for the claim.

What locations are you referring to that you've seen shut down?

Times of India has repeatedly reported completely bogus stories and even stories that are real are always presented with a biased viewpoint.

The fact that you use that term shows you've drunk the kool aid of the biased propoganda too much.

After all, India has more fake news than anywhere else in the world , and India has been running 256 media websites to spread propaganda and influence other countries .

I imagine the insurance costs would be a lot cheaper compared to a helicopter too. How long do you think it will be before you see a police car chase being filmed by the channel 4 news UAV instead of a costly helicopter with a pilot and reporter in it?

UAV's will become an excellent alternative for aerial photography and small deliveries.

I'm glad you mentioned this. Netflix was paying Comcast a premium to be directly peered to Comcast's network. Tons of other companies already do this to reduce latency and get rid of jumps (see traceroute) between nodes in the network. They weren't paying to stop being throttled, they were paying to be directly connected to Comcast, so that Comcast users have fewer network leaps between their network and Netflix's. It was completely unrelated to net neutrality, but dressed up to be.

EDIT: It may be worth mentioning that I used to think that, too, until I did more research.

The version being removed is not the unabridged version, it is this graphic novel adaptation. It says this in the article. I do not have a copy to check, but I have trouble believing that all the content of the unabridged version was adapted.

Holy shit this book is 300 dollars rofl

Let me see if I can find a PDF. No one is gonna pay that shit. I got the book from my dad lol

A little digging revealed that it was published as its own book: https://www.amazon.com/South-Had-Won-Civil-War/dp/B07PPB4J4V/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=If+The+South+Had+Won+The+Civil+War&amp;qid=1645543307&amp;sr=8-1

Reducing the heating and cooling bills will be good, but hopefully that's just the beginning. Cities in general are almost 30 degrees hotter than the actual temperature. Lack of shade and asphalt / concrete's ability to absorb heat creates a oven... I've seen some places that started painting the asphalt white to try and reflect more of the heat. There was also the test town some college built (cant find the link) where all the buildings were designed to create shade and allow airflow..... it'll be interesting to see how buildings change in the next 100 years

"Why do bitcoins have value?

Bitcoins have value because they are useful as a form of money. Bitcoin has the characteristics of money (durability, portability, fungibility, scarcity, divisibility, and recognizability) based on the properties of mathematics rather than relying on physical properties (like gold and silver) or trust in central authorities (like fiat currencies). In short, Bitcoin is backed by mathematics. With these attributes, all that is required for a form of money to hold value is trust and adoption. In the case of Bitcoin, this can be measured by its growing base of users, merchants, and startups. As with all currency, bitcoin's value comes only and directly from people willing to accept them as payment." - https://bitcoin.org/en/faq

>Clearly you think Monsanto doesn't care about cancer.

You're right, I don't think they do. Just like any others that deal with carcinogens, cancer, and profit. I recognize this is a libertarian economy. Not a liberalism economy.

>But the FDA says that glyphosate isn't carcinogenic.

LOL. The USG?

The same USG that said the Gulf of Tonkin happened, sheep herders in Afghanistan was responsible for 911, and the ICC is dead to us? That USG?

The FCC also said net neutrality wasn't wanted by US Citizens and includedObama criticizing Obama's net neutrality policy. [1] ^[2]

>And this article is about the carcinogenicity of glyphosate and how it relates to the FDA.

Good thing we're revisiting it. Just like when smoking was healthy, right? Why on earth would you trust a private multinational for being honest? Bahahahahahahaha.

>Were you just making a comment that has nothing to do with this article?

Naw, I was pointing out historical business practices by Monsanto and how shit really works in the US of A.

The actual quote is that first they came for the communists, socialists and trade unionists, and then for the Jews, but by that point there was no one left to speak up for the Jews because everyone to the left had been silenced. Then they came for the author, and again, no one spoke up because the left had been silenced and only the right wing remained.

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

> can you give me a list of "failed states"?

read Democracy Incorporated, Sheldon Wolin

I think a more interesting question is "what states are not failed?" and just how democratic are the states that claim to democratic?

Imagine applying the the gong show that is Trump to Colombia, Would you think that that there is anything legitimate about Colombias Democracy if the El Presidente was impeached, admitted to the crimes he was being impeached for, the Senate admitted that the crimes were real and said "He's learned his lesson."

the leading world power, is "failed"?

Its interesting what "world Power" means. Saudi Arabia is a Friend and Canada's loyalty is questioned. I'm not sure that the US is a world power any more. Military Power yes. But illegitimate if you can believe Trump's preasure to force trade.

>ut now you so happened to hit your activist age and starting getting "woke" and seeing through everything.

Why is it the US needs to support murdering anti-democratic despots? Answer: Failed state seeking criminal international preasure.

The exact number depends on your exact definitions.

My count of mass killings show 77 events with 373 killed. Here is the list:

https://saidit.net/s/Lists/comments/1lmz/mass_killings_in_the_united_states_2019_all_causes/

If you break out only the mass-killings-by-gun I get 29 events with 153 killed. That list is here:

https://saidit.net/s/Lists/comments/1ln0/mass_killings_in_the_united_states_2019_shootings/

Twenty-nine mass-killings-by-gun is not "most" seventy-seven events. But like I said it depend on how you count them.

When I followed the link I arrived at a story about Kim Kardashian. This link goes to a story on CNN about Trump issuing pardons.

'This month it was revealed that the Paris attackers used hard-to-monitor, encrypted applications to coordinate their acts of terrorism'

Except they didn't, as the story was subsequently reveled to be bogus.

'One key premise here seems to be that prior to the Snowden reporting, The Terrorists helpfully and stupidly used telephones and unencrypted emails to plot, so Western governments were able to track their plotting and disrupt at least large-scale attacks' theintercept.com

Yesterday I drew this cartoon about a news in Belgium:

- Sophie Rohonyi defended the abortion bill by saying that a woman who decided to have an abortion will have one anyway. She said that it should be done in good conditions.

- I invented the local imam saying that a man who decided to kill will kill anyway. So, he said, it would be nice if it should be done in good conditions.

&#x200B;

Today, I heard that a terrorist killed two people with a knife. Sadly premonitory drawing...

You might find reading about "The Noble Savage Theory" interesting. Remarkably, it is about as old as merchantile society

Next- This article although a bit long and wearying to read does a nice job of tracing the path from primitive communism (the noble, nonmaterialistic, savage), through modern communism.

"These young people must eventually realize that they aren't going to make any real money off of this crap and they need to find a real job." link

I don't have conclusive proof, but I'm personally pretty convinced and pretty horrified. If my hunch is right, I think we should make some noise so that their attempt to attack veterans backfires. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Has anyone heard of other examples like this? The forum owner wrote in another post that "I am a member of other American active military and American-Veteran sites (non-XenForo) and was told that some of the other subject related sites are having the same problem."

Check out some of the articles linked to from the post (like the New York Times one). Pretty amazing stuff.

I'll be off the grid for a bit, so I might not be able to respond to comments until Monday. :(

Those thing are ridiculously expensive on Amazon $300 USD. We have pretty few horse flies so it's not critical. What about common house fly traps? I haven't found anything yet that gets all of them...

Calling the source "uber liberal" doesn't disqualify the merits of the argument. Typical association fallacy. I'm not surprised of your response. I bet you find the concept of climate change suspect because you look out your window & see its snowing in the middle of winter. Stick with your preferred ideology, all facts that prove contrary be damned.

You are in effect arguing against Ari Berman, a guy who literally wrote the book about voter disenfranchisement in the U.S. and how the new spate of voter ID laws is just the latest. Your argument? "Anyone can get an ID."

Pathetic. As I said, if you're not knowledgeable about a subject might I suggest you refrain from opining. Thank you!

Everyone needs to read Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here this political cycle.

Thomas Frank wrote about this ten years ago. For 30+ years, the Republican establishment riled up their voter base by inciting their fears over social and morality issues. But amazingly, the track record shows that on average they don't actually do anything for these issues once in office, instead by and large defending corporate insider interests. At which point it's very easy to contrive their lack of follow-through on the left, and then continue the cycle of RedSox/Yankees politics into the next election cycle. A great example is immigration. 'Closing the border' and deporting illegals is an oft-used talking point on the right. But at the end of the day, they don't really want to lose that cheap labor base or its overall effect on the price of labor. This strategy has been a revolving door of status-quo-maintenance that's worked quite well for a few decades now.

However, now the Frankenstein they've created has become unmoored from the table and is smashing everything inside their proverbial mansion. This guy says he wants to ship all the illegals back and build a wall. And he actually means it. So now they are shitting their pants.

However now the Frankenstein monster will venture out and wreak havoc on the whole city.

"Gary Brecher" is in fact an alias for "John Dolan", an English teacher who has worked in third world countries, including Saudi Arabia, East Timor, etc. as well as Russia and Kuwait.

He knows a lot about war. A lot.

It's a bit aside from the matter, but if you're interested, check out this book. It's a bit heady to read, but is quite interesting to discover how a non-patrilineal family unit is formed and operates.

Nope, won't happen. A Republican who could win the general election will never get through their primaries. A Republican who gets through their primaries will never have the broad appeal required to win the general election. Romney wasn't even the best Mormon from the last batch, but Republicans would never have accepted Huntsman merely because he worked for the Clinton and Obama Administrations as an ambassador.
