I really hate the XKCD comic because it is so incredibly wrong and everyone refers to it as gospel. Yes, if you are brute forcing a password having something that long will make it virtually uncrackable. But no one brute forces passwords anymore, everything is dictionary based. So even with 4 words and 26 characters…

Removing money from circulation can mean investing, which is not in of itself unproductive.

This may be true for YOU and YOUR political views, but there are plenty of people out there who aren’t on the fringes of politics and prefer a more centrist, moderate approach. There is nothing wrong with wanting, say, pro-choice rights for women, marriage equality, AND lower taxes and smaller government.

Funny thing is, the ACLU agrees with you. Look at the discussion last year on banning the sale of firearms to people on watch lists. The ACLU was firmly against it because it is a violation of due process (5th amendment). As opposed to most liberal individuals and groups, they have been surprisingly clear headed and…

Nope. I’m fine with that, in most cases. A fair and speedy trial is part of due process. Punitive actions after charges have been dropped is not.

No, you’re right. If a person has been arrested, they can and in some cases should be detained, as long as they are formally charged and the trial is set in a reasonable amount of time. As long as we follow due process, that is acceptable. Others here are advocating the revocation of constitutional rights without due…

Your post will infuriate most on here. It is pretty straightforward but they refuse to see it

Pssst, your fascism is showing...
Taking away someone’s constitutional rights is absolutely a punishment. You’re suggesting that we should also violate their 5th Amendment right to due process because you deem them a danger. The only way to prove that someone is a danger to society is through a conviction in the court…

Constitutional rights can not be so easily negated. Innocent until proven guilty applies to everyone, not just potheads and protestors.

I like how you assume domestic abusers are mostly right wing in the comment section of an article about an unhinged Bernie Bro.

You do nothing. Innocent until proven guilty is the rule of law in the United States. You should not be able to punish someone who has not been convicted in any way, shape, or form.

So, no more due process - if you are merely charged, you lose your rights. Got it.

This is the result of the normalization of violence against your political opponents that the #resistence crowd has been nurturing for months, assisted by the media and celebrities (Kathy Griffin included). Eventually punching “nazis” in the face as a form of protest just doesn’t do it for someone anymore. This is the…

Thank you for bringing some reason and decency to this.

I’m not glad it happened, but hopefully this stems the left’s growing fascination with political violence (punch nazis guys!). This is where you end up.

Disclaimer: I’m obviously not blaming Kathy Griffin for this.

That energy last night was fucking electric, man! You’d best believe I’m trying this shit in my Book Club tonight!

we’ve also been at war in history with Mexico, England, Germany and others. There are many people who fly Mexican flags and support and self identify as Mexicans. If we throw southern loser flag followers as traitors, then we’ve got a lot of people in the southwest who’d have to go too.

It’s hilarious to me that it only took one political loss for you to support genocide

The civil war never ended, and the South is now winning.
