RealID is so important to security, it can't be used to prove you are a U.S. citizen. So says DHS, the people administering the RealID program.

And should be treated as such.

No enterprise concerns if you can just tick a policy box.

And for home users, people who don't know what GPO is let alone have access to it? They're just screwed, aren't they?

There was no issue until Israel drug the U.S. by the nose into a war it can't win.

Remind everyone again who it is that keeps attacking its neighbors claiming "self defense" then whines it's the victim? Or who has been saying another country is "two weeks away" from nuclear weapons for the past 40 years?

You had the opportunity and blew it. Here is what you should have used:

Microsoft pays its employees so well.

Just like all those other programmers people say deserve their rich salaries.

You can't go after the manufacturers because 1) they're outside of your jurisdiction,

If they sell a product in your state, they're under the state's jurisdiction. It's why states can ban products or require safety features from manufacturers who sell in those states.

2) their products are likely legal in half of the world (e.g. Asia/Africa).

So? You think car manufacturers don't have different models for different parts of the world?

Might I remind you that the Democrats held onto the Epstein files and refused to release any of them during a Presidential election

The Supreme Court ordered the records sealed until after the election. That was thanks to Trump's Supreme Court picks.

Might I also remind you the infamous wife of Bill Clinton the island hopper, ran her own email server that 'accidentally' fell into a vat of Bleachbit.

Which was investigated and found not to be illegal, just poor judgement. Just like Colin Powell had done. But let us not mention all the use of personal email to conduct official government business being done by the regime right now. Or the use of Signal which conveniently doesn't store information.

No one is believing Demoncrap lies anymore.

In your ranting you misspelled a word. The word you were looking for was Repedo. The ones who seemingly every day are in the news for diddling kids.

digg there are a dozen genocides going on around the world that you don't give a shit about. you're not against genocide, you're against israel

One of the lessons we've had as the Federal, multi-branch nature of the US governmennt has frustrated Trump is that the government may be fucking us over, but it's not doing it in *unison*. It's doing it piecemiel, on the initiative of many interests working against each other, just as the framers intended. The motto on the Great Seal notwithstanding, there are myriad roadblocks to consolidating power in the hands of a single individual. It takes time and repeated failures. This is why the second Trump Adminsitration is worse than the first; they've figured out ways around things like Congressional power of the purse, put more of their henchmen in the judiciary, and normalized Congress lying down and letting the president walk all over them. It's a serious situation, although fortunately Trump isn't long for this world.

While that's true, a responsible generation aims to boost the next generation to a *higher* level than the education they received. The world has become more complex and faster-paced, and even if that weren't true, the consequenes of aiming high and falling short are better than the consequences of aiming for the status quo and falling short.

So while I'm 100% onboard with skepticism that technology will magically make education better, I think the argument that "the education I got worked for me should be good for them" isn't a strong argument. What we need is a better ecducation that would have been a better education fifty years ago: stronger math, science, and language skills, general knowledge, and, I think critical thinking and media literacy. Possibly emotional intelligence -- it's kind of pointless to teach people critcial thinking skills if they are carried away by emotions.

There are no economic or security reasons to blockade Cuba, so that leaves *political*.

It used to be believed that bullies were low status individuals who are lashing out out of frustration. But research has shown that bullying is an effective strategy for achieving and maintaining social status. In other words it's a political winner. So the focus of research has shifted from the bully to the people around him who enable the bullying. The inner circle are the henchmen -- people without the charisma and daring to initiate the bullying, but join in when the bully gets things started. Around them are the audience, the people who wouldn't risk participating but enjoy the bullying vicariously. And around them are the much larger group of bystanders, who don't approve but are waiting for someone else to stop the bullying. Then off to the side are the defenders, who stand up to the bully.

Perhaps the least appreciated supporting factor in the phenomenon of the high-status bully is the silence of the bystanders, which is dependent upon the perception of widespread approval. Since you can't visibly see the the line between the approving audience and the apalled bystanders, the silence of the bytstanders is absolutely essential in sustaining the bullying.

Lot's of Americans are apalled at the idea of using military force to inflict suffering on the Cuban people. But that's only politically advantageous *because* of *them*. Tney are indistinguishable from the relatively small number of people who are thrilled when Trump announced he can do anything he wants wtih Cuba. The gap between actual approval and *perceived* approval is absolutely critical in establishign and maintaining any kind of authoritarianism. This is why would be authoritarian leaders are so focused on punishing and marginalizing any kind of expression of disapproval.

In 1790, the US population was 94.9% rural. There is no country. in the world today that rural -- Burundi, which looks like blanks spot in the world at night satellite picturs, is 88% rural.

The largest city at the time was New York, with a population of 33,000. Northern Manhattan was near-wilderness, mid-town was farms and country houses.

In 1790 the US was. country you could "police" with sheriffs and volunteer posses, largely to keep the peace. If you got robbed, you hired a private thief catcher. This works in a 95% rural country with just 3.4 million inhabitants. It would be chaos in a country 87x larger.
