    Obama says he can’t pardon Snowden

    They don't even try to hide the duplicity of the American legal system. For some reason law and order are trumpeted as though there is equal justice for all. Maybe pardoning Snowdon will encourage more tattling on an over reaching government. So what. They never seem to concerned about AT& T...

    Woman, prosecuted for selling $12 of ceviche on Facebook, now faces trial

    Ignorance if the law is no excuse for regular people. If you're required to know the law in your job as police officer for example, they allow you to break the law as long as you believe you were obeying the law. It applies to anybody with power or money.

    Woman, prosecuted for selling $12 of ceviche on Facebook, now faces trial

    American justice. Pursuing the lowest of the low hanging fruit and ignoring widespread fraud by the well heeled.

    Trump’s pick for CIA Director has called for Snowden’s execution

    I was kind of hoping that Trump would be loyal to his supporters and tell everyone else to go fuck themselves. He doesn't owe anybody anything. Trump is behaving like the worst political insider and batshit insane person combined. His vice president is the relative voice of reason on this team...

    Charter falsely claims bogus charges are “government” fees, lawsuit says

    In response to all the apologists. Lying by omission is still lying. Only an insider would support these slimy business practices. I'm glad they're getting their comeuppance via a legal loophole that they didn't foresee. Somebody doing something for the greater good rather than for profit. Of...

    China threatens to end iPhone sales if Trump imposes stiff tariffs

    He'll need to sign an executive order because there's no way that something like this will be ok'd in congress.

    What the Trump win means for tech, science and beyond

    I'm not sure he was being honest throughout this campaign about anything or that he even wanted to be president. He's not beholden to lobbyists or anybody except his constituents. Even if they don't have college degrees I wouldn't call them stupid and they are the people as opposed to the big...

    Race, gender discrimination persist with Uber, Lyft—and cities need to know

    I'm not sure what the solution is for drivers who don't want to go into bad neighborhoods. My neighborhood has improved in the last decade. I only hear gunfire once or twice a week these days. Ten years ago on the rare occasion I called a cab I always got a driver that lived around here and I...

    Facebook users sue over alleged racial discrimination in housing, job ads

    Facebook has to fix this. I still think the person who discriminates is at fault. I really have a problem when someone happens to leave a stone unturned and gets punished because some asshole exploits it.

    Sheriff blasted for sending drone to “track down some loose cattle”

    I think this is an effective use of a drone. It's a challenging pain in the ass to capture cows. They can panic and if one cow panics they all do. They're not aggressive but they're big and not too smart and can trample you if they think they're running for their lives and you happen to be...

    Ex-Playmate faces charges for posting secret nude photo of woman on Snapchat

    She's already there. Here ugly character can't be unseen. The outside will probably match the inside soon enough.

    FBI stands on July conclusion that Clinton broke no law in e-mail flap

    When Comey isn't selectively enforcing the law or actively breaking the law he is lying to congress or the public. That might be considered cause.

    FBI stands on July conclusion that Clinton broke no law in e-mail flap

    Comey is unfit to be Director of the FBI. I hope he is replaced by the next president.

    Clinton, Trump do agree on one thing—the right to use marijuana

    Maybe the people who represent us should mind their own business rather than focusing on ours. They would probably get a lot of actual work done.

    Studying marijuana remains a drag

    No matter what the drug, the war on drugs makes everything so much worse. Now that the legal system profit from marijuana will be drying up, the witch hunt has switched to opiates. Doctors are scared to prescribe legitimate, US manufactured, quality controlled drugs. If you think heroin is a...

    Prison phone company wins halt to inmate calling price caps

    They can't allow cell phones in prison. Even though the majority are locked up for non-violent and victimless crimes there are some seriously evil psychopaths in prison. They would use cell phones to threaten, harass, commit other crimes etc. They would steal each other's cell phones. That...

    Hacker sentenced to 29 months in devious Photobucket image plot

    I'm surprised at how many people take naked selfies at all. I figured most people want to look their best in photos and the majority look better clothed.

    Senator says FBI’s Comey may have broken law in Clinton e-mail announcement

    He was nuts when he said there was nothing illegal about that server or whatever he said. I can't keep track of all the ridiculous things he comes up with. He's lived in a fantasy world from the beginning. Oh and who cares what the White House thinks. I certainly don't consider anything coming...
