  It's easier to shift blame than it is to fix the problem. Police unions and the courts are major enablers of this.

  Do you really think most of them care? They want to be able to get a pet judge to sign off on a half-assed warrant so they can go fishing. If they have to go through 'normal' channels, there's a chance that Facebook or whomever it is will push back.

  Re:

  "And while that same law says the the government can take back taxpayer funding "equal to 1.89 times the average amount of support per location received in the support area," plus another ten percent of the carrier's total funding in that area, that often never happens." If this is correct, it shouldn't even be that hard to get the money back. All they have to do is enforce the law. That's what pisses me off more than anything - they have the legal means to claw that money back (plus more), yet they don't do a damn thing about it.

  He's already back on Twitter, sort of... ;-)

  Re: Ah yes, the 'No, you are!' ploy

  Exactly. Trump's entire playbook consists of two words, "deflection" and "projection". Pretty much everything he accuses other people of are things he's doing himself.

  Re: Sorry Mike, Santa is not real.

  I wonder if Tom Wheeler could be convinced to return to the FCC when Biden takes over in January. That would be a nice little "fuck you" to Pai.

  Re:

  My problem with Facebook, Twitter, and social media in general is that it gives people who used to be relegated to the fringes of society an easy way to reach the masses. Unfortunately there are a lot of gullible or stupid people who latch onto that garbage.

  Re:

  Considering this administration's flaughting of the law and legal judgements against them, they will either slow walk it or just ignore it entirely. The truly sad part of all of this is that the US political and legal systems aren't designed to deal with a so thoroughly corrupt president like Trump, and his entire party of enablers.

  Re:

  I was reading something about conspiracy theories recently, but I can't remember where. It was a formula that calculated how long an event (or non-event) could stay hidden, based on the number of people in-the-know and other factors. For example, if the moon landing truly were faked, it would have gotten out in 3.8 years. Mostly because someone involved either can't keep their mouth shut or intentionally outs said event (ie: Snowden).

  I'm expecting an "October surprise" of a COVID-19 vaccine released in an end-run around the FDA rules. First doses just happen to go to Florida, Texas, and other states he needs to win in November.
