...the old media companies could have avoided all of this if their demands weren't so unreasonable.
What's unreasonable about saying "give me billions of dollars"? It always sounds good when I say it....
Trump isn't the Secretary of State and don't handle classifieds documents. UNDERSTOOD ?
I'm not generally a grammar nazi, but seeing a Trump supporter post like this is pretty damn funny.

No, he's just a billionaire businessman with insecure email. What could go wrong?
I'm not claiming he's mishandled classified data. I am claiming he's stupid and hypocritical.
Also, not a Hillary fan.
No, they are not.
Because if they were, they would be fighting nail and tooth to get the 0.01% off the force and behind bars, where they belong.
As things are, there are three kinds of cops: 1. Dirty 2. Complicit 3. On the way out
You've just demonstrated that "for every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong." Cynicism without realism is not productive.
1) Changing entrenched bureaucracies is hard and takes time no matter how good a person you are.
2) Most dirty cops are unlikely to announce their corruption.
3) Innocent until proven guilty applies to cops also and that makes obtaining convictions hard.
Yes, there are corrupt and complicit cops who need to be brought down. But there are good ones that will act to clean up the police force where they can. Those good cops are limited by law in what they can do to reduce corruption just as they are limited in how they can deal with any other crime. This is as it should be; we have rights for a reason.
In the vast majority of cases an ambulance is faster (and safer) getting to you than you are getting to the hospital and they can give you some treatment on the spot.
Source? A brief google search indicates that ambulance response times vary widely from place to place based on a variety of factors. I didn't find any recent sources specific to Springfield, MO. Twenty miles on a freeway is typically less than 20 minutes barring traffic. Do Springfield's ambulances typically respond faster than that? Was traffic a factor? How much would traffic impact the ambulance? How fast does the autopilot feature drive?
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
