Comment Private ISS (Score 1) 236

Ladies and gentlemen, with today's launch of the Ayn Rand Space Station we're able to finally ensure lasting peace and corporation between multinational mega corporations from all over the world. What a joy to see Lockheed, Airbus, Mitsubishi, and BAE finally working toward a common profit target.

Comment Re:It's really a Hillary For Prison Thing (Score 3, Informative) 997

So accusing Donald Trump of being a Russian agent isn't extremist leftist globalist fake news? Nothing that they try to throw at this guy can stick, and even Wikileaks has come up dry on him.

No, it's not "fake news". In fact, it's so compelling a case that his own deputy attorney general saw fit to assemble an special counsel to investigate. Further, his attorney general had to recuse himself from the investigation into Trump's ties with Russia because of, uh, ties to Russia.

There is 100X more meat to this than Benghazi, Hillary's emails, Obama's birth certificate, or whatever else the GOP conspiracy theory du jour is.

Comment Just a reminder (Score 2, Insightful) 420

Just a reminder. Rumor is that Bannon was fired not because of his whack-job views on race or economics but rather because he's not sufficiently bellicose toward North Korea for Trump's liking.

That is, he may have fired a snake but he did it on account of one of the snake's few redeeming qualities.

By the end of his term it will be clear that Trump is the biggest mistake America has ever made.

I like to keep my guns loaded, chambered and hidden throughout the house...where I'm never but a few steps away from any weapon that I can grab, and pull the trigger on (some do have safety on, but the glocks do not).

What sort of Mad-Maxian hellscape do you live in where this is necessary?

The Generals have declared that is a danger.

Is there data to back this up or could it be just the bigoted opinion of a few jerks? The same things were said about blacks, gays, and women.

The military doesn't pay for breast implants, they shouldn't pay for trans surgery.

If paying for trans surgery was the issue then POTUS could have ended the military's policy of covering that procedure. There are about 15,000 trans people in the US military. If ALL of them had surgery (which they won't) at 100k a pop it would amount to 1.5 billion which is 0.1% of the cost of the F-35 program. This isn't about cost or "unit cohesion", this is about bigotry - just like it was for blacks, gays, and women.

I've always appreciated that /. was a place where facts and nuance too precedence over bias and politics. Sadly, this place has changed.
