There are only two reasons to use something other than xscreensaver:

1. You need other input methods
2. You don’t care about security

Sad reality is that:

• no matter how much informed people hate her, the base is still going vote for her because of name recognition and party support
• they don’t care were the country is heading. they will still get their checks from donors, they will still make money on insider trading
• all the terrible things Trump does just means more campaign contributions for the Dems, for all they care Trump winning was good for business
• Bernie tried to take over the party and it failed, people can try again but it will be extremely difficult to do

Yeah, I don’t think you can argue with gestapo. Police is not going to stop gestapo either.

Richard Goldberg: aide to US National Security Advisor in previous Trump administration, expert on Iran, wrote press release announcing Waltz’s nomination.

Both Goldberg and Waltz work at FDD: https://www.fdd.org/team/michael-g-waltz/

Clearly Waltz was trying to add him to the chat instead of Jeffrey Goldberg, right?

Showing ID when you vote is an requirement in every European country since forever. There’s no slippery slope here. Ability to identify yourself is a pretty basic thing in a civilized country. Where I live proof of residence allows you to vote in local elections. National elections require citizenship. National ID proves you’re a citizen. It’s really simple.

The problem here really is that there’s no standard national ID system in US, not that someone is asking for a proof of citizenship in order to vote.

The only person in real danger here is the journalist.

My theory is that it’s brain atrophy, not stupidity.

Americans are not stupid in the sense that they can’t learn and do things. They are perfectly capable to work in a bank, fix a car, fly a plane or be a doctor. But even if they do work as as accountant or a surgeon (like Ben Carson…) they rarely use brains for analytical thinking. They don’t have to. School is easy (you can just play sports), finding job used to be easy, buying home used to be easy, you were born into one political party and just followed it. You drive your huge car on endless highways surrounded by aesthetically sterile malls, eat your burgers, watch some football and that’s it. No need to analyze things so your brain kind of forgets how to do it.

Eventually the country split into the curious part that actually wants to study and understand things and the “stupid” part that just consumes propaganda and votes for Trump. As some point the “stupid” part became the majority. Now not everything is that easy for young people but I think it’s too late.

Zuck has to be pissed it wasn’t WhatsApp.

Signal: so good even people who hate privacy use it!

The pool wasn’t about general election. It’s about primaries. Insane as it is, it’s all about name recognition. People in US will simply vote for the one person they heard about. But it’s still early, other candidates still have time to get their name out there.

Still? I never even considered it. Expensive, poor quality.
