Actually, Uber has condemned the ban (particularly since so many of its drivers are also immigrants). Many in the alliance are also Uber drivers.

Not really, that’s merely the narrative that the far right has been pushing, how you can’t trust “politicians” and how all mainstream parties are corrupt. It motivated people to vote for someone who would upset the apple cart.

He’s a useful idiot. They don’t know when they’re being manipulated.

And yet trump’s rumored pick for FDA wants the FDA to stop supervising this stuff and let the “free market” decide whether to buy it or not. Horrifying. Someone will die from fraudulent tech or drugs.

It sounds a bit like the show Alien Nation.

That’s dangerously oversimplifying things. Booker voted against a bill that would allow importation of pharmaceuticals from overseas, and he stated that he was concerned that the drugs would not be properly inspected or up to the same safety standards as US pharmaceuticals. I don’t know enough to say whether that’s…

It’s been done already. Poorly drawn artwork of Obama as villain, antichrist, maniacal dictator. It didn’t make as much sense because Obama didn’t actually take away guns or lock Americans into internment camps etc.

It wasn’t just “some emails,” the entire campaign plan was leaked, including all the oppo research. Hillary’s planned attacks on Trump all were obliterated because talking about them in September were labeled “old news” and were no longer headlines.

The problem appears that the Russian government hacked both political parties, and published one and held the other as possible blackmail material, in order to tip the election the way they wanted. That is the problem.

I think you mean sadist. Masochists love receiving pain.

Trump has absolutely no idea how government policy works. You can’t just waste your time individually talking to each and every company out there and trying to strike a deal with each. Nor can you assume your tweet will always motivate your followers, eventually they get fatigued. “I’ll make deals with everyone” is…

Amazing how Jezebel just hours ago was full of comments insisting that it’s impossible to racist against white people. Well?

Wrong state and wrong time. You’re grasping at straws to find an excuse for their actions (and spamming threads with this same irrelevant link)

Oh so you’re a mind reader now? You know what the police don’t about what motivated these kids?

Jezebel’s commenters were saying just today that it’s impossible to be racist to white people. The mind reels...

I don’t think it was the word per se, but the tone and of being singled out. Minorities can frequently sense this, that the person they are interacting with is being unduly harsh to them without using any slurs or open bigotry.

Disapppinting to see so many negative reactions here. I don’t care about the original story but people are projecting their ideas of white people in general onto him, as if all white people are alike. Or people celebrating someone else’s misery solely because “white people” in general need to be taken down. Not saying…

Right, just how rich people can’t really suffer from clinical depression either?

I don’t know where you got your facts from but this is incorrect. Fort Hood was deemed workplace violence partly for insurance reasons, and partly because killing soldiers during wartime is not the definition of terrorism (which is defined as killing civilians), whatever the motivations (he was afraid of being…

Sure we could put humans in charge of piloting, the published accounts by some of the companies building the flying cars say they’re easier to pilot than a Cessna.
