    Tenacious D The law is of supreme importance, or no importance

    But the alternative, to deny the platforms and the many good who use them, for the few bad who misuse them can't occur.

    Not saying that's what you're calling for, but I'm not sure what the answer is.

    I’ve said this for a good bit, but I’ll say it again; stop not clicking everything.

    Be a complete anomaly, like everything, everywhere.

    A firm collected publicly disclosed data, used it to profile users, and then sent targeted political ads to the users based on the profiles.

    If you're not paying for something, you're not the customer. You're the product. It's right in the user agreement that Facebook is going to sell your information.

    Obama used the same thing in his campaigns. I know it's more icky with Trump, but it's still the same game.

    It's the 21 century. If you're doing business or on social media on the Internet, you are a target to advertisers.

    I don't have an issue with this or what Obama did as it's just targeted marketing.

    The bigger takeaway is how easily people are manipulated. Scoffing at the very idea while digital strings guide us to the desired end.

    Did my taxes last week, pretty upsetting, but the lady says I'll be going down a couple of tax brackets this year, thank you Trump!

    I'm sure it'll just be a different type of ass raping this year from uncle Sam. But it will be exciting to find out what the new way feels like.

    Former UT professor Dan lipinski narrowly held off a challenger from the left to get the den nomination for the congressional seat he has held since 2004 in Illinois. He will now face the neo nazi the GOP nominated in the general, Arthur jones. That's not my label, it is what members of the GOP called him, who loudly denies the holocaust occurred.

    It just feels like this element within the present conservative zeitgeist gets laughed off, ignored, or maybe just accepted as a cost of doing business. Tenny has made comments that seem to dismiss it's existence, implying earlier that he is called these things.

    I think there's a fascist minority element in both parties.

    Absolutely there are, from Neo-Nazi's to anti-globalists.

    Fascism is such a hard thing to pin down to what it is, and I had listed Eco-Terrorists in there as well, but not sure they are hard line nationalists.

    And both are vulnerable to exploitation by russia or other foreign actors. The partisan total victory quest is becoming a national security liability. We have to compromise. Have to.

    Wish I could like this a lot more than I can.

    Compromise has become such a sin it is laughable.

    You only got one of the Nazi movie references. If you haven't seen this, stop what you are doing and get the movie.

    If Trump is serious about draining the Swamp, he'll veto this spending bill.
