patent trolls, Eolas forgot to slip large envelopes to the jury; everyone knows that the East Texas juries can't turn down a fat envelope. Typical rookie mistake. Next time they will know better.
money is the entertainment industry paying the Polish government to pass the treaty? Money talks in all governments, and they don't care who pays them.
are corrupt, Republican or Democrat. Any politician would sell his own children in order to make sure he gets elected.
Simply revealing the dirty money isn't going to change things; voters have short memories and don't really care if the politicians are accepting bribes. Voters are notoriously stupid and they are likely to forget the whole thing by election time. After the election, the newly elected politicians will happily go back and pass whatever bills are paid for by whoever slip them the money.
the food - their salaries don't cover their lunch, so they need to confiscate food from people traveling. That's also why they lift money from carry-ons and checked baggage - they don't get paid enough. Aside from not being paid enough working for TSA can be great - free food, you get to fondle teenagers, you pick up tips on the side.
will come out for/against any issue, regardless of how they really feel about it. Campaign promises mean nothing anymore; they only give whatever answers they think will get them votes.
Think of it like Hitler campaigning for Jewish rights in the 1930s before he seized power..todays politicians are much the same.
is pretty much like the Gestapo; they do whatever they damn well please and don't care what happens to the victims. Why should they? They know full well that nothing will happen to them as a result of the poor kid being deported. there will be an "investigation", which is just like the "investigations" done by the American police departments' "internal affairs" people. In other words ignore it and issue statement "Everything was done properly."
The U.S. government spooks are now primarily responsible for preserving the multimillion dollar salaries of entertainment industry executives as well as other rich executives. They don't care about wrecking the lives of millions of innocent people.
don't give a rats tushie aout artists - they only care about raking in more money to pay huge executive salaries. I'm sure they would even block independent artists who work entirely on their own.
just goes to show that business owns the government. The 1% rules and the remaining 99% are just the poor peons to be exploited as needed.
I'm only surprised the 1% doesn't institute a forced program where everyone in the 99% has to register tissue types then when someone in the 1% needs an organ, they simply tell someone to give up the organ. Might be hard to enforce, especially if a heart transplant is needed, but then haven't the 1% had their hearts replaced by rotary pumps?
know full well that they need the "campaign contributons" (bribes) from the rich to get elected and they don't usually give a rats tushie about voters until it is election time and they lie and attack each other and promise things that will never happen and they will never actually vote for anyway.
The ghosts of Himmler and Beria would be proud of the U.S. congress, the White House, and the military as well.
The White House and the spooks want to be able to make anyone they dislike disappear without trace, which is the hallmark of a government that believes in the rule of an iron fist rather than the law. We proudly castigate the governments of China and Iran for violating human rights and then we turn around and do the same thing. The government is run by hypocrites.
has any government agency worried about breaking the law? They all believe they are immune since they are the government. Doesn't matter if it's an agency (ICE/FBI/CIA/FCC/etc) or Congress or the White House; they all feel free to ignore any law they choose to. The spooks are the worst - they know that no one will dare to question them.
The ICE proceedings are driven not by law, but by greed from businesses. They pay quietly under the table and the agencies need the money so they go ahead and do what they are paid to do. Most countries call this bribery, here we call it business as usual.
the entertainment industry owns enough people in Congress to get this passed. They expect votes in return for the money they slip to Congress in plain envelopes.
congress likes it because they can now start shutting down sites that they don't agree with. Have a site that criticizes Congress? Expect to be shut down. Gay/Lesbian site? Shut down.
We castigate China for their censorship, then turn around and do the same thing. Congress and the White House are such hypocrites.
for judges to refuse to sanction attorneys who go outside the established rules. Judges look at attorneys one way and ordinary people another way. Justice is definitely not blind.
Maybe the judges need the support of the crappy attorneys for some reason?
