Ivanka Trump doesn't know what complicit means

If its true she doesn't know what complicit means, then I would suggest that she has no business being anywhere near the government of the United States. I also would suggest that she head to school under another name so that maybe she would learn important things like what words mean. And perhaps history as well. Such as what happens when there are no regulations of business.

Its a shame Theodore Roosevelt Republicans are dead...

And she needs to do it under another name in order to avoid having everything handed to her like silver spooned idiots always do.

Those that live with a silver spoon in their mouth should never be allowed anywhere near government. They view everyone as beneath them and nothing more than serfs.

Corey Hancock is a Hero

Corey Hancock saved a baby bear that he encountered on the trail while hiking. He carried the bear two miles and then drove it to a wildlife center.

People are getting on him for disturbing the bear. For crying out loud the bear was going to die. He did the right thing by taking it somewhere where it could be helped.

They want to follow the letter of the law which would be a fine and jailtime. His crime, he helped save the bear's life.

These people that think its better to let something suffer to preserve nature need help. They think its better to just step over top of the bear and leave it there to die a slow agonizing death of starvation. They're the same people who want to get up in arms over Sea World, Zoos and other similar places. They want to free the animals...

Animals have a longer life in captivity. There's a reason cats outside live about 4 or 5 years and inside cats live 10 to 15.

But no the fantatics want animals to be in nature so we aren't going to be able to see Shamu soon. Thanks to fanatics Sea World has stopped breeding them and of course catching them. All for fanatics who want to free the killer whales so they can go out and probably be hunted.

If it so offends you that animals that are getting pampered are up for display, then don't go. But go find something else to do with your time then ruining the world for the rest of us.

Oh and for the nature fanatics, humans are part of nature too. Just because we build houses and buildings and roads doesn't mean we aren't part of nature.

ISPs and Privacy

Congress took away people's right for privacy online because ISPs wanted to have the same rules that are...
similar to the rules applied to online companies like Google and Facebook, though Democrats in Congress supported the FCC's stricter rules for ISPs because the companies can see each customer's entire browsing history. Democrats also argued that consumers should have a greater expectation of privacy with Internet service because it's a subscription-based offering and difficult to switch Internet providers.

Republicans argued that stricter rules for ISPs would confuse consumers and stifle competition in the advertising market. They said the Federal Trade Commission should regulate ISP privacy instead of the FCC but did not take any immediate action to replace the FCC rules that are being eliminated.
Like usual the problem with Republicans is their tendency of only thinking for companies and rich people. They want the companies to be able to do whatever they want.

Under prior rules, customers could avoid the online data trackers by either avoiding the sites that do it or using privacy settings that prevented the browser from allowing sites access to the cookies. Or clearing cookies on exit.

I do not use Facebook. I do not use Google search most of the time.  They are the best so when a search returns crap I'll switch to Google. I do not use either because I do not care for spying.

I do not use Google Chrome because of Google's data tracking tendencies.

Blogger is the only Google property that I use regularly.

I am not a fan of Windows 10 because of the spying tendency. I use Windows 10 because Windows is a necessity and I want the latest Windows.

By allowing ISPs to do it, there is no way to avoid it. Privacy settings  don't work against an ISP spying on their customers. And quite frankly Internet is a necessity.

And with there typically being only one broadband ISP in an area(especially rural areas ie the ones that support the Republicans for some odd reason), you cannot move to a new one that isn't spying.

Why exactly is it so confusing for customers anyway? And how is stifling competition in the advertising market?

And quite frankly, I would rather there be a law that says, companies cannot track people without their permission. Than this companies can do whatever they like.

Putin denies Election meddling

Putin informed CNBC earlier that Russia did not meddle in the election.
"All those things are fictional, illusory and provocations, lies. All these are used for domestic American political agendas. The anti-Russian card is played by different political forces inside the United States to trade on that and consolidate their positions inside,"
Anyone believing him?

He also had to say
"[We know many Americans are] friendly towards the Russian Federation and I'd like to tell these people that we perceive and regard the United States as a great power with which we want to establish good partnership relations,"
Is that the same type of partnership that he has with the Ukraine? You know where he decided to annex part of their territory because he can? Maybe he could try to annex Alaska.

Maybe then Trump would have issues with him. Or maybe he'd just call it an iceberg and let them have it back.

I wonder what Putin thinks of the unrest going on in Russia. People are tired of the inequality in Russia and the nepotism. So protest crowds are forming and then being beaten up by the police and escorted to jail. And you don't even have to take part in the protest. You can walk out of a building and the police will kindly knock you to the ground and carry you to the police wagon.

TV Ad for Trump 70 days in

Is it sad that the Trump administration has been so horrible that they are starting tv ads to try to bump up his poll numbers only 70 days into the administration

The ads are running in several states with some nice price tags

  • FL: $200,046
  • IN: $66,677.50
  • MO: $97,823
  • MT: $7,420
  • ND: $10,010
  • OH: $87,092
  • PA: $178,365
  • WV: $30,615
  • WI: $46,630.50
  • DC: $183,585

  • They tout, "298,000 new jobs 1st month in office. Reducing EPA regulations. Greenlighting Keystone XL pipeline. Withdrew from Trans-Pacific Partnership. And it's only just begun."

    Um... what about all the Federal jobs that he just axed?

    What about the loss jobs at Hershey? Did he subtract those from the 298?

    And is he counting the fact that a number of jobs moved from Michigan to somewhere in the south as additions?

    And reducing EPA regulations? So he's making it harder to breath for the 99% so the 1% can make more money. Somehow I don't see the benefit.

    Greenlighting the pipeline? Doesn't do me any favors.

    Withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.. finally found something good he did.

    Weird how the one I like is last in their list

    So how's that wall that Mexico is building coming along? And why is there talk of reducing Domestic programs to pay for something that Mexico is suppose to be paying for?

    And healthcare? When are they going to stop forcing people to pay a private company for insurance? Private companies should not get laws that force people to buy their product.

    Or how about how all our internet data is now up for sale so that ISPs can sell it. Because you know they aren't charging enough for access to the Internet which government funds were used to create. Weird how that works. Tax money helps create something and then instead of benefiting from it we have to pay to access it.

    Then get our data sold so we have no privacy.

    oh and then there's Russia. Where we have the guy heading the House investigation informing Trump of what's going on. That doesn't sound like any wrong doings going on.

    Oh but let's deflect from that by tweeting about Clinton... because you know its so relevant to have the nation care about the losing candidate of an election. That's why everyone talked about Dukakis, Dole, Kerry, ect... after previous elections.

    Oh the incompetence of this administration is astounding.

    Liberals...

    So now Trump and the Republicans are saying all the right things about bipartisanship. Of course actually seeing what they're offering would be nice... But they're saying the right things now about working with Democrats...

    So the liberals now go and do the thing that annoys me and shout don't negotiate with them... Our way or the high way... "They did it for eight years so should we" Ug... No they did it too is not an excuse. That's what your parents kept telling you when you were seven.

    "Johnny did it!"

    "You're not Johnny. I told you not to."

    *whack*

    of course now that whack would probably get you thrown in jail for daring to discipline a brat...

    Sigh... why can we not get to the center and govern like sane people?

    Trump Bill

    So the Trump family wants to remain in New York City. The Secret Service has had to request $60 million more money to pay for this protection. Some of that money is to pay rent for the agents within Trump's own property.

    Don't you think the Secret Service should be given free rent when the purpose is to protect the family of the owner of the building?

    All these cuts in the Trump budget he proposed but not for the outrageous lifestyle that he wants to live.

    It will only take 15,000 families' taxes to pay for this 60 million dollars.

    If the Trumps want Secret Service protection at their residence, then make their residence the White House. If they don't want to live in the white house, then give the Secret Service free rent in Trump's own building and PAY all other expenses which result from this living arrangement with Trump's personal money.

    Or go without protection.

    And another thing... since he's going to "recover" the money from Mexico for his wall, why doesn't he front the money for the wall instead of begging Congress and then when he gets the money from Mexico he can repay himself.


    Being President is hard, whines Trump

    I can't believe because I was in the midst of finals and missed the quote of the Year by Trump. He thought the Presidency was going to b...
