All it takes anymore is a single employee not wearing a mask, and SJWs will flood yelp with negative reviews. They have never even been to the place in question, but will feel the need to sentence it with one star. Any reports of racism from the business, real or imagined will also see the same fate. I have never heard of racists flagging businesses, other than left wing ones.
I read the rid analysis, and it wasn't convincing that the story is false, nor did it cause me to question the story any more than when I first read it. But I had some doubts about the original story. But it seemed more credible than the recent Atlantic story citing anonymous sources about something Trump said. That story was not censored, and that is the hypocrisy that people are claiming about.
Solyndra and the Restructuring of GM are examples. Solyndra is clearly graft bilking taxpayers out of millions, and the restructuring of Gm was unconstitutional bypassing bankruptcy court and picking winners and losers.
Its crazy to believe that this nation was founded on slavery and became successful because of it. Its success was built on the preservation of private property, which was unusual at the time for all citizens.
Wow, amazing to read all of the conspiracy theories in this post. It's quite simple, if someone is unsure and overclassifies, noone blinks an eye. If you underclassify, you face weeks or months of nightmarish critiques. Most of this is not really cut and dry as the rules are vague. It would be impossible to define every scenario in a classification guide.
No, it's brussels piling up the powder kegs. it's almost as they believe countries have no sovereignty and must follow their orders. Hungary is not imposing anything on anyone.
I agree, Obama was called out. But it was done so in a matter of fact way: "Holder claiming that the statute effectively "forced" him into declaring Rosen a co-conspirator is ridiculous. The statute compels him not to seize Rosen's records. Holder is admitting that the DOJ lied to the court here and trying to blame the statute for that lie. That's astounding."
Compare it to the rhetoric used against Trump: "concerned about an out of control Trump administration, abusing the powers of government to target his enemies and critics" and " it appears that the Republican party is quickly positioning itself as the party of chilling effects and silencing a free press. This is shameful behavior and should be called out as such. "
While peoples data might be valuable to others, to many, it has little value to them. People knowingly use an app like Waze for a benefit while giving away something they don't care about: their location to advertisers.
While there are many examples of the Obama Administration abusing the powers of government (IRS, FISA, NSA, AP/Rosen), specifically, how did Trump use the government to target people? And no, filing lawsuits and complaining on twitter don't count. For someone who claims this site to be non-partisan, the language used certainly seems partisan.
This is a bad idea. All that it will do is cause the companies to lock down content and prevent things like family password sharing. Streaming is not like cable. With cable I had to pay $100/mo even if I only watched one channel. Now I just subscribe to the streaming service that has content that I want to watch, and when I am done with it I move on to another one with good content. Why do you feel that you have to have access to everything for nothing? When people stop paying altogether, then companies will no longer find it worthwhile to create new content. I like it that now there is competition to create content that will make people want to subscribe. With cable, it was a race to the bottom to fill airtime with crap, because you were paying for channels whether you wanted them or not.
But while you do cover abuses by the other side, the language is far different. Just to check, I looked back at your stories about James Rosen. Nowhere does it call that an attack on the first amendment. And I would say that leveraging the DOJ against a reporter is far more chilling than filing a nuisance lawsuit in an open court which is going to get thrown out. these lawsuits are statements, futile ones, but statements showing displeasure at dishonest, but maybe correct within the letter of the law reporting. Also, your claim that the mueller report shows a link between trump and russia is false too. If I wait for the wind to blow over a garbage can, does that show a link between me and the wind? hardly. Whether you want to admit it or not, you are very partisan.
Nobody has to use facebook, instagram, or google. If you dont like it, don't use it. As for progressive politicians, we are forced to pay for their programs and corruption whether we like it or not. That is the real problem.
I think you proved his point, these surveys are about as random as a roll of the dice, despite the media telling us that they are accurate. They aren't accurate, they are designed to tell people how they should think.
So if illegals can't bother to follow the rules for entry into the country, why should anyone assume that they would return for a court hearing? I wouldn't count on it.

Police
If the city could afford to put a police officer on every corner, how would that be much different?

Re: Special means they wear helmets in the sandbox during recess
Sure, when a guy is flailing around and trying to reach for a gun, the cops will just call in a sociologist to evaluate his mental condition.
