There's an alternate universe where the Soviet Union successfully invaded and occupied America and turned it into the Soviet Socialist States of America, and the state-run broadcaster is called One America News. I'm prepared to bet a whole dollar on it.
The Department of Homeland Security sounds like the sort of Secret Police the Soviet Union used to have. It looks like they're entirely above the law in the same way the old KGB was too.
Who sets a whole website up and then makes it only accessible from the US? Devin Nunes doesn't even understand the Internet.
Dude! Did you just demote King Arthur?
I'm not American, so I had to look up the term "MRAP".
Imagine my amazement when my search returned a bunch of pictures of armoured military vehicles.
Police don't need those, armies do.
That is absolutely not how a proper democracy is supposed to work.
I would also take issue with Mike's characterizing this as "soft corruption". It doesn't seem that soft to me.
That is how it works in New Zealand as well. A friend of mine however, decided he could not possibly have been over the limit after his evidential test, and when his case came up, he pleaded not guilty and asked for the machine's maintenance records.
These records were apparently unavailable and the case was dropped.
No word on whether the records were ever found or if the machine is being maintained properly though.
The TL;DR is that America is democracy-lite. Or, if you like kinda sorta democratic but not really.
No you don't.
Apple have a choice.
They can choose to do business in China, and play by China's rules, or they can choose not to.
They have chosen to take the option that makes them the most money which is basic capitalism.
The really concerning thing is not that China is a totalitarian state, but that Western capitalism enables them.
You beat me to the punch.
I'm old enough to remember that time the US government sold weapons to Iran to pay death squads in Central America to murder people.
Why wouldn't they? Its not like there are any consequences if they get caught.
I don't think the TSA are really about transport safety at all.
Erich Honeker would have loved the TSA.
I've used Capture One, and it is a long way from being "World Leading".
It does do what it says it does, but not that well, and the GIMP is better (IMHO)
The proposals in the article are so weirdly complicated and unnecessary.
The entire world has solved this problem and America could easily have a look at what works well and what doesn't, adopt the bits that work best and provide proper, nationalised healthcare to all Americans and save a huge amount of money.
But you will carry on bankrupting people when they get sick because the corporations that profit from that want to keep profiting.
Imagine my surprise when I saw that governor is a republican.
It's not really more blatant than usual, but it is a reminder that America has the worst possible system of government.
Land of the free baby, where there are police stationed at the schools.
Can anyone tell me why someone who has been removed from office for judicial misconduct not once, but twice, gets to be called "Judge Roy Moore"?
That is exactly what a man in my country claimed in court when he found one of these tracking devices on his car. He refused to give it back and the cops sued but they lost and he kept it.
Yes.
