    Thanks for the link!

    I absolutely loved Scroogled. I was surprised by how long it took the brilliant Google scientists to finally throw a hissy fit.

    Oh Cathy, Honey...

    Dear Diary, today I had a bad experience with customer support, ZZzzzzz....

    ...seriously though, while my initial response was to troll this comment thread relentlessly, I cannot in good faith do so, because, well, sadly, you bring up many many good points.

    I first had the same issue 3 years ago when my working-perfectly-fine Uber app stopped working on my working-perfectly-fine but outdated iPhone.

    Now having the same issue with my current phone. Slowly but surely, apps like Pokeman Go and Grindr are starting to spaz out, and/or not update properly nearby shirtless hunks. Surprisingly, Zynga's increasingly annoying Words With Friends still works. ...somehow, I guess desperation is actually the mother of invention, not necessity. Which brings me to my proto-point:

    You want to say it. You're on the edge of the cliff, you are looking over, but for some unknown reason you fail to actually jump over and into Galt's Gulch. Why won't you just verbalize it?!

    Here, I will do it for you: This is in effect a failure of unrestrained capitalism. If the self-proclaimed king of corporate concern trolls, Apple, cannot restrain its own greedy wasteful predilections, then what possible hope is there for Anarcho-Libertarianism?

    The market is not responding. How can this be? Well, maybe, just maybe, the government should step in, and stop Apple from forcing everyone in it's sick twisted 'ecosystem' from implementing environmentally wasteful and/or just plain annoying corporate policies in the actual ecosystem.

    What do you mean "It hasn't done her any good,"

    Trump's former campaign chairman and lawyer have dozens of FBI FEDERAL indictments and convictions!! While Hillary has none.

    Re: Where are the devices that fight back?

    A better idea might be the creation of phones or phone software which intentionally "poisons the well" so to speak with garbage information and location data.

    If I was a wealthy drug dealer or DNC chair, I'd pay a hacker to create some software that routinely sent out shit data on 10-20 throwaway phones. See if Palentir can make any sense of that.

    If I were less technologically inclined, I could achieve potentially the same effect by hiring H1B's to drive around Ubers with shitty data phones.

    The non-violent possibilities are endless

    Because Trump isn't a Republican. Trump sits outside your feeble Republican/Democrat false political construct.

    The GOP is the Pope mobile. Trump is the Pope.

    You wouldn't blame the Pope mobile for failing to adequately investigate Catholic priests would you?

    "I actually had to look this one up."

    You looked it up, in order to debunk it. Just think about that for a second. You don't have to reply, just go to your bathroom mirror and be honest with yourself.

    Without even knowing what the story was or was not, you went to Internet and looked up information on a topic to fit a conclusion you had already made, based on zero evidence, so that you could post a 1-2 liner Dollar Store skeptical debunking.

    Wow! Talk about Cognitive Bias....textbook.

    Re: Re: The predictable, but what about Obama's War on Journalism?!

    "Its likely they didn't have all the background information until after he left office."

    Oh, okay, thanks for clearing that up! I knew that there was a rational explanation for Politico not running one of the biggest scandals since Iran/Contra. The story of why Obama let terrorist group Hezbollah deal Cocaine in order to make the Iranians happy enough to make a sham nuclear deal.

    This seems super legit. I mean that fact that barely any of the "news" organization other than Politico covered the story at all, well that's just because it's not important. I mean Trump porking a Porn Star and RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA is a much much much more serious danger to our Republic.

    Re: Re: Re:

    Robert "Helped Bush Cover Up 9-11 Saudis and Lie about Iraq's WMD's" Mueller, that Mueller?

    Because the FBI doesn't bankrupt innocent people and force them into confessions against their will?

    That NEVER happens. What was it that Mueller was investigating again? Oh right, Russian Collusion.

    Look, Cohen is a scum bag, no doubt in my mind, but why couldn't the FBI or Justice Department just investigate him? Why did they need a special prosecutor?

    OH RIGHT....now I remember, in order to paralyze or try to paralyze President Trump for as long as possible with Bullshit Media stories about topics most people barely understand or care about.

    Trump paid a porn star to shut her filthy whore mouth. That payment is being sold as an "illegal campaign contribution"

    You have got to fucking be kidding me? So quit quoting how many indictments of this or that Mueller did or did not get. It's just noise and propaganda.

    Fact of the matter is, no matter how dirt and sleazy Trump may be, The Podesta Group, The DNC, and Hillary Clinton were NEVER EVEN HONESTLY INVESTIGATED.

    The now defunct Podesta Group president, brother to John Podesta got an immunity deal? Really? Why?

    Oh right, because WE GOTTA GET BAD TRUMP!

    Re: Re: Re: Re:

    Many 'elites' have the philosophy that it's actually their moral responsibility to shit on as many rights as they can get away with.

    It's up to each generation to fight for those rights. One of the results of this insanity, is that we are still dealing with the same dumb issues we have been for 70 years now, while various crooks rob the country blind.

    Re: Vid card died and couldnt say this

    hmmmm.... this seems like the corporate Art of the Deal version of the Socratic method.

    That's a good insight actually, although, your post written a bit cryptically...

    The problem with the Socratic method, is that it assumes nobody is aware of it. Just like wave/particle duality, once someone knows about it, it tends to manipulate the result.

    Re:

    The point, if I ever had one to begin with, is that, perhaps, just perhaps, if even a fraction of the shrill hyperventilating #RESISTANCE members had been this angry when the chosen one did it, then perhaps the Trumpers would not be able to put their hands on their hips and stick out their tongues to all this bizarre criticism now.

    At some point, someone is going to say, he wait a second, who gives a shit about Trump having consensual sex with a hot porn star and then paying her off, like half of Hollywood/D.C. has been doing for decades.

    Or, maybe, and this is REALLY WEIRD WACKY OUT THERE STUFF, maybe the press could try asking important questions about important topics. Perhaps they could cover issues fairly without their overtly insane corporate liberal bias?

    Perhaps then, they could be taken seriously, and people might defend them.

    Right now, I'm being asked to defend a bunch of non-thinking CIA controlled zombies who don't seem to realize that people can watch Stormy Daniels on pornhub anytime they want.

    Re: Re: Re: The predictable, but what about Obama's War on Journalism?!

    Thank you! Finally a breath of fresh air from all the alt-right racist comments here!

    You're exactly right, except for the "when" Obama part. We have no proof at all that Obama ever separated children from their parents at the border or anywhere! If someone has proof, please by all means, post a photo or article from an approved activist or human rights group proving this allegation.


    Now if Obama, I'm not saying he did, but theoretically and hypothetically, IF Obama had separated children from their parents, then it was probably for a good reason, we aren't aware of. Obama would never knowingly hurt a child or sexually molest women like Trump, so we must give him the benefit of the doubt.

    That's not how it works in the US.

    In the US, the NSA has the 'tech' and feeds local law enforcement the information.

    Then it's the local police officers job to create a false pretense to "legally" search and/or detain the "innocent-until-proven-guilty" pre-convicted alleged crook. (aka parallel construction)

    Sometimes, a cop will get a stingray with some extra asset forfeiture money, but it's more of a hobby to kill time and such.

    In the words of the great pock marked philosopher Eric Schmidt: "If You Have Something You Don’t Want Anyone To Know, and you aren't in the 1%, Maybe You Shouldn’t Be Doing It"

    The predictable, but what about Obama's War on Journalism?!

    I notice that nobody has talked about Obama's war on journalism aside from the token statement in the article itself:

    "Trump inherited Obama's unprecedented prosecution of whistleblowers who give information to the media..."


    Once again proving the small minded short sighted nature of the dumb mob. Left, Right, Center, doesn't matter...

    When Obama, and his cronies, destroyed Journalistic freedom and integrity by schmoozing journalists who played ball, ostracizing, assassinating, or jailing those who did not, and creating a system by which his administrations scandals were sold to the highest bidder, for the small sum of not reporting on anything until such time as none of the crimes committed mattered.

    A few examples:
    1. Politico's article on the Obama administration allowing hezbollah to sell cocaine and destroying the DOJ investigation. Why didn't Politico print this story when it mattered, and not a year after Obama had left office?

    2. Michael Hastings Assassination


    With that said, just because that crook Obama did it, DOES NOT excuse Trump, however, nobody can blame Trump for his actions in regards to the media.

    Which has been in a literal collective psychotic breakdown since he was elected.

    Perhaps if the media wants to be treated honorably, they should endeavor to act honorably.

    That means not hiring former CIA agents like MSNBC, and covering stories of actual political corruption, not Trumps romantic relations with some slut bag porn star.
