“since November 2016".

This is not the justice you are looking for.

This is Trump all over again.

No one is going to call anyone out.

Ajit Pai will just get whatever bonus or whatever he earned and no one is going to see any kind of justice. I already pay like $95 a month for internet alone. I can only imagine how much more I’ll have to pay…

Any next generation firewall can detect VPN traffic easily, so what makes you think ISPs and their carrier grade equipment won’t be able to detect it? You’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter that your traffic itself is encrypted - ISPs can still detect and block and/or throttle encrypted traffic. Source - 15 years…

You can call your Scoobie a ‘WRX STI Type RA’ or anything you want, but it’s still a $19k Impreza with $30k in upgrades.

My dad bought a new F150, when I told him he could’ve had a new M3 for about the same money, his reaction was G O L D.

drive a 10 year old MB? rich asshole

The most recent numbers I saw showed that 80% of republican voters opposed these deregulation measures. The problem is corrupt leadership who couldn’t care less about an “I told you so” from rubes like us.

There are. While I hate to generalize, there are many Republicans that oppose net neutrality just on the basis that it was 1) Obama backed and 2) regulation. Just like with healthcare and other issues, they won’t see that their blind hatred will hurt them the most.

I was a conservative for fifteen years, but I no longer recognize the philosophy I once believed in today’s politics. Age and communication and... living... have led me to now be very liberal, yet I cannot help but hope that, even if I still believed everything I once did, I would be horrified at what the conservative…

What you’re doing is struggling with the idea that such horrible people can share so many beliefs as you. And rather than ask yourself hard questions about what your voting record has meant for millions and millions of people...It’s easier to just convince others (really - yourself) that these guys are different than…

The Constitution should be read as written,

I’m not sure who’s going to read all the way down here, but I do want to thank everyone for the conversation. There were some outright flames coming my way, but I have enjoyed the back and forth. Thanks for renewing my faith in the internet.

Definitely end-Nixon into the transition toward Reagan. Remember the Southern Strategy, and that’s where it all begins. Trump is the natural fulfillment of everything the Republican party has been moving toward since that moment.

I don’t. They’ve been trending away from core values for partisanship for a while now, this year was the final nail in the coffin. Both parties have sold out the base for the fringe.

Twenty years ago, one of my classmates in ROTC left the Army. He was in SF. He was laying on a cot in a tent, not sure what country he was in. He thought back through the past 2 years and realized he had spent less than 30 nights in his own bed during that time. None of those deployments were ever publicized. The…

Which policies are designed to keep them that way? Because it isn’t like the welfare state is successfully pulling people out of poverty. Additionally, you are full of shit re: Romney. He rightfully called Russia on their threat to US security, successfully implemented healthcare on the state level, and governed a…

No shit. It’s amazing, but much like the Bible, the “literalists” don’t know what’s in the Constitution either.

Well, supporting the execution of gays, instituting religious tests on people who may serve in Congress, and refusing to uphold the constitution in a position of judicial power are all, well, bad. Illiberal, unconservative, inhuman.

They’re a net drag almost entirely because of conservative policies designed to keep them that’s way.
