I saw through that phoney when I saw his facile promotion of UBI, which is basically a scam designed to shut down welfare programs, replace it with a one-size-fits-all dollar amount, then slowly, over time, reduce it on the grounds of cost till people starve to death in the streets. That's why right-wingers love it so much. You can almost hear them gleefully rubbing their hands together in the background every time the subject comes up. I say this in the knowledge that they're currently banning SNAP from being converted into cash (there are ways around it that leave people worse off) and you can't buy soap, washing or sanitary products, or toothpaste with it. If such people like it, I want it nuked from orbit, just to be sure.
I'm still waiting for an example of a lawsuit against 4Chan, which is where the alleged damage is done, or something.
Assume someone read something horrible about someone on 4Chan because it showed up in the search results. First of all, anyone stupid enough to take that cesspit seriously deserves a good kicking. Secondly, what harm could be done? Someone taking it seriously?
I've already discussed at length my own real experience of being defamed online by a troll. tl:dr; since my bosses either at the time or afterwards didn't take it seriously, no harm befell me and I even got promoted. Since no harm was done and it's being ignored, there's no grounds for suit.

All wrong. He supports 230 because it means he's not held responsible when Hamilton maligns me. Again.

Corporations don't work, people like me work. Mike doesn't celebrate anyone going bankrupt, particularly corporations that employ large numbers of people like me who inevitably get screwed when a corporation tanks while the top tier officers make out like bandits.
You can't steal a mailing list or financial advice by copying it. If someone copies such things it's unlikely that these things, in and of themselves, will give them any kind of advantage as people like me are likely to bin unsolicited financial advice as spam. If you're a bitter spammer annoyed that someone copied your stuff, too bad. Not worth celebrating, though.

The press has been doing a bang-up job smearing people since press was invented. They really weaponised it at UK tabloid The Sun, where they called it "Monstering."
Bloom suggested planting negative stories in the press, which have achieved their goal: apparently McGowan can't get work any more because Hollywood producers believe she's a flake. I doubt that she's any more or less flaky than anyone else in La La Land.

Big government is inefficient and incompetent.
Creeping Socialism is what caused this problem.
Pure Capitalism would fix this.
Big Capitalism is inefficient and incompetent, as working for large companies has taught me.
If "Creeping socialism" means hiring decent workers and paying them a decent wage is implemented, it will solve the problem. It's the belief that government, in and of itself, is inefficient and incompetent while doing nothing but cutting budgets to resolve it, that caused the problem. Law enforcement is a function of government, not a voluntary, capitalist thing.
Pure capitalism declares that altruism, that is, self-sacrifice, is immoral. We're already seeing the problems caused by the introduction of a profit motive into essential services. Do I need to list them/ Start with for-profit prisons and end with private arbitration. Bad, bad, bad idea.
None. We've all stayed the same while he moved further to the right.

Okay, fine. In what way is smashing a pumpkin with a cartoon face of the opposing African-American team member on it while hooting like a monkey and moving like one NOT defamatory? Enquiring minds want to know.

That is true. However, those who hold extremist views in which certain individuals and groups are held to be less than fully human with the same rights as the rest of us are more likely to be dangerous than those of us who hold a "live and let live" viewpoint.
Plus, in order to add the uranium mined in the US to Russia's supply, they would need an export license, which is handed out by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Currently, Uranium One does not posses such a license.

It contains hundreds of current and former police officers who've been convicted of criminal acts over the last ten years.
Hundreds? Over ten years? For the love of God, sort this mess out now! None of those men have any business wearing a badge.

Alter’s story quotes from Bloom’s memo: “I feel equipped to help you against the Roses of the world, because I have represented so many of them.” Bloom also adds: “We can place an article re her becoming increasingly unglued, so that when someone Googles her this is what pops up and she’s discredited.”
Looks like Rose is telling the truth.
