Nobody died there until that one guy.

I do think some of these Q conspiracies are true, but they also might be a bit skewed by the guilty.

Trump had zero political power. Netanyahu used to say jump and at least half of Washington would say; âoeHow high?â

The Epstein thing was a poorly held secret like the DC Madam before who fulfilled a demand and âoesuicidedâ before her guest list could be lifted from judgeâ(TM)s âoeprotect the guiltyâ orders.

Then Trump has Epstein as his best buddy. Parties at the now famous golf club.

Then suddenly, Putin or Trump say jump and get people jumping. He complained during his 2016 campaign about Foxâ(TM)s coverage and they shaped up real quick.

Could it have been a catfishing operation and the people assigned by Trump were there to hush it up when it could no longer be protected. What motivates Allen Dershowitz?

Itâ(TM)s just a theory. But, probably not going to be adopted. For some reason, all the crazy clubs now have a lot of focus on whatever comes out of Hannity, Tucker, Alex Jones, or Putinâ(TM)s mouthâ" just to name a few who read from the same playbook.

It won't be long before we are comfortable with autonomous cars, and they will be far safer and consistent than humans in short oder.

One day someone will freak out that they cause 5,000 accidents per year when only 3 Billion Americans use them.

Anyway, that's not GM and not today. But it's funny how people want to give up on it because there are accidents. If it were the other way around, NOBODY would be giving humans keys to anything.

Get this, someone on Slashdot thinks Microsoft has IMPROVED Office.
"Now works with other apps, rearranged icons, and has a eyedropper to grab colors like everyone other program has on the planet."

Only 1% of the public uses those extra power features. And, if the documents were compatible, I'd consider the NON-ribbon version of office an upgrade in usability. I've given up finding where the change case button is to be found and just use that search bar for it.

So let me get this straight. Does this mean fans of Trump were alarmed and concerned but other than the hate and the lowered oversight on ICE agents for a whileâ" zero actual changes to border security actually changed?

I guess being upset and using it as a campaign issue is the extent of the involvement. Seems the left and right has more in common than I once thought.

"If you can not distinguish between a concept - or call it ideology - and a dictatorship that painted the name of that on its flag"

I'm not going to say someone is an idiot. I just think that we have lacked the means to actually implement a working Communism until computers and the internet.

If you created something with a central guarantee of fairness, and it was controlled by bottom up voting -- it might work. However, you'd have to require participation and find some way to make sure people weren't fed propaganda - because a system like this requires good voter information.

I'm not sure all our systems won't fail if we don't get a handle on misinformation.

China hasn't been even "communist" for some time. The Xe regime sliding into corruption is while they are pretty much Capitalist with some social controls and central planning.

The USSR was always a tyranny.

I think for someone to TRY Communism, they need to first be distributing power in a bottom-up approach. The central authority is to ensure fairness -- but if it was planned for control and voting - definitely a flaw.

And "some good people" -- WHO were they? Both Communist China and the USSR started bathed in blood from what I can tell.

You had me going for a second. Then I thought; "hey, what is the exchange rate for the US Dollar?"
So I looked; https://www.xe.com/currencycha...

A bit above it's level from the same time last year.

Maybe the ALL currency is going lower than bitcoin -- and bitcoin is merely holding it's value at a feverish pace? /LOL

Well of course, they always blame the shitshows on whatever did not cause it.

Last time the banking system collapsed they blamed "mortgages of poor people" worth about $68 billion in sub prime loans rather than the $1.4 Quadrillion in speculative investments that kept bundling insurance and titles as new financial instruments over and over again being used as a scheme to make lot's of profits and leave someone else holding the bag.

However, when I hear about Crypto Currencies, the "musical chairs" song plays in my head. "It's not based on anything but the speculative value of people who trade it" -- what could POSSIBLY go wrong with that.
