I wish we could see a bipartisan Yates/Comey 2020 ticket. Unfortunately, the people with the most integrity, who would do the most good in a position of power, are the people least likely to actually desire that power.

@th3j35t3r @[email protected] God just give this toad the boot, he's just here to try and drum up something to write about to keep his patrons shelling out cash.

@DachshundSaidSo Non English speakers get a pass. It's not like most of us can speak a 2nd language with any degree of fluency at all. But not being able to speak your OWN native language well....now that's just dumb.

I will seriously lmao if the chronically talentless hot mess Jill Stein turns out to be both boring AND evil.

Let's be serious, being a Green Party lefty that has dinner with Flynn and Putin at the anniversary gala for the Russia Today news channel - where Julian Assange used to have his own show - is about as sketchy as it gets even WITHOUT me being the type to buy into conspiracy theories.

@badger33 Look it up.

@badger33 Actually didn't realize how many times it's been changed by different administrations over the years. Interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Information_Act_(United_States)

@badger33 I didn't say that I thought it would be successful, but I strongly suspect they'll give it a shot. Wouldn't put it past .

The Obama administration repealed it in part where it concerns the White House's Office of Administration back in 2015, so it's not without precedent.

Anyone care to make a bet on whether or not this administration will try and repeal the Freedom of Information Act?

Because really, what is more antithetical to Trump than that?

@DachshundSaidSo Shit, I've seen worse in real life. After a night out a few years back my friend's boyfriend was giving us a ride home, and they started arguing in the front seat. This dude managed to say "your point is mute" and "you always take me for granite" in the space of a minute, and I was like pounding on the back seat and choking trying to not laugh out loud.

So some chick commented on my public FB page and claimed that the CDC "creates diseases to keep us scared". -_____- Naturally, I told her that she was a moron and that she was more than welcome to go catch leprosy or something else awful that's been cured with modern medicine, and she responds like "YOU MUST BE BORED TO KEEP TALKING WHEN I'M NOT RESPONDING".

She responded to point out how she's not responding.

P.S. I only replied the once.

There really is no hope anymore, is there? 😐 🔫

Hoping our soldiers and airmen and their families are safe.

An Amtrak train derailed off an overpass onto the main freeway right in the middle of Monday rush hour traffic an hour and a half south of Seattle just past Joint Base Lewis–McChord.

There's gonna be a lot of people dead.

@dr2sheds I figure I'd rather go out some epic way instead of via a slow, inexorable descent into idiocracy.

@emaz @Engineonfire @Mcuban

The infrastructure is not there, and once it is, old devices (aka the majority) won't support it. It will be a long process. Wireless is the trend, but wired is not going anywhere anytime soon.

And in any case, 5G simply has no relevance to what I was actually saying (wanting to see a list of wireless phone providers who are against the repeal).

@emaz @Mcuban Verizon already does throttle, even on their unlimited data plans. They throttle the top however many percent of bandwidth gobblers, and not, as far as I'm aware, certain types of data. Granted that's because up until now, they simply weren't allowed to.

Cell phones are most common for casual use (Facebook, google or whatever), but anything regarding work, school, or something like streaming movies, the majority of people use a laptop/desktop. I don't think that's going anywhere.

@Mcuban @emaz I'll bother doing homework on it when it's a. available and b. ...available. I'm talking about options for the now, not a few years out.

This is how the world will end.

Bring it on.

@cathyshepherd That's a protected account, so we can't see whatever she said.

@PillbroBaggins Regular 2. No need for a gigantic phone.

They have a Motorola phone, but yeah, mostly Google stuff. I wanted a Pixel anyway though so it works for me.

@badger33 You're attempting to assign logic to someone who has no grasp of reality and never has.
