Let me know when the EU collects it. I have my doubts.

When you're never held accountable, this is what you would expect, correct?

When they are penalized, the punishment only reinforces that the crime was a good decision.

Calculated, strategic, opportunistic genocide.

They know in a divided world, where news is delivered through social media, they can control enough of the messaging to get away with it.

Israelis, know that those of us with enough knowledge and emotional intelligence to make reasonable assessments, will forever hold Israel responsible for these atrocities.

If you like reading about anti-trust, I highly recommend BIG by Matt Stoller. Very well thought out journalism and he's been influential.

It's beyond me why Americans, who scream about government taxation, can't see how large corporations essentially have added a hidden, ever increasing line item tax to their paychecks to extract wealth.

And then we fawn over billionaires donating their money to causes we perceive as beneficial to society - they're just returning stolen money without interest or penalty, which could have been better used when money was actually earned.

This is what Texans vote for right?

Lower regulations and minimal worker rights?

That's why Daddy Musk set up shop there.

The Democrats who voted against expelling were rationally defending due process.

If Jeff Jackson (NC) votes for something, it's generally sound logic.

It's purely anecdotal, but go to a small town in Iowa and you may notice something a little unexpected - there's seemingly a larger than normal population of gay and transgender people.

Again, anecdotal, but I visit there frequently for work. My gut tells me the crop treatments are screwing with hormones...unless there's some other explanation.

If Jeff Jackson voted to keep him in, there must be a good reason. The guy is a straight shooter.

Yes you can, that is the definition of what a trademark is.

Could you imagine 20 different brands of Coke on the shelf?

The usage is specific to a market, however. For example, Delta Airlines and Delta Faucets. Both trademark "Delta."

Learning how the First Amendment functions the hard way.

"You want to bang?"

"Is it bang time?"

Any number of variations with "bang" included.

The government is people. So all you're saying is people, by nature, will always become corrupt.

I thought there was something on my phone screen.

Likely a jurisdiction issue moreso anything else.

It's also hard to keep a hosting location wholly confidential.

Lots of folks here with strong opinions that have never dealt with legal proceedings, or an itemized bill calculated in 6-minute increments.

Isn't that convenient?

NOT ENOUGH USE OF REPEATED PUNCTUATION!!!!!

Creativity takes inspiration. Somebody has to manifest the stepping stones on the path to a masterpiece. The magic of the internet is we get to watch it happen. We'll rarely hear Beethoven's garbage or see Michelangelo's screw ups, but whoever did this...we get to see the stepping stone.
