Can Bernie be stopped?

[peter]

What hath the hippies of Vermont wrought?

[Buford Gooch]

He very likely will be stopped, if not during the primaries, then during the convention. It will be marvelous. All the Berners will be in high dudgeon and refuse to vote for whomever.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Maybe if we flood Milwaukee with lots of old muskets, nun-chucks and maybe a narwhal tusk or two the idiot Dems will stage their own civil war and kill off enough of each other we won't need a general civil war down the road to rid ourselves of both the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks.

We'd need to have Clarice's Musket and Tusk vendors located on all the universities to truly rid ourselves, Ig.

[Extraneus]

My basic rule is to assume any non protesting public figure is worried about the snowball of even worse allegations.

Probably correct on that, but don't tell me these are years-old allegations, that the women gained career advancement in return for whatever happened, that they never went to the cops, and that they took money to shut up besides. To me, that's whoring, and whores should keep their end of the bargain, and their mouths shut.

So far, the two allegations we know about are unserious and silly.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--We'd need to have Clarice's Musket and Tusk vendors located on all the universities to truly rid ourselves, Ig.--

I'm operating on the decapitate the monster theory, Steph. If we can squelch all those gigantic minds [🙄] in Milwaukee perhaps the drones will all droop over.
Or we can shoot them.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

I have listened to both sides of the Tingles controversy and think each has raised some valid points. After considerable thought and soul searching I have come to the conclusion that regarding any aspect of Chris Matthews...I don't give a shit.
He's a punk. Always was always will be. Whether he merely said something innocuous, sexually assaulted someone or got runover by an Acme steamroller with the Roadrunner at the wheel I don't care as long as he's gone.

[clarice]

See why I heart Iggy?

News you can use. My husband just saved a fortune on his meds by NOT using our insurance company pharm plan, but going online to GoodRX and using their voucher at a local business (in our case Harris Teeter) to buy them. It's a monstrous scam how much the insurance companies are ripping you off.

[lyle]

In case you didn’t bother to click on Ext’s link you saved yourself from having to read this drivel:

Chris Matthews didn’t get fired for being a sex monster. He got fired for doing his job.

And what was that job? To represent the non-crazy, “No Kool-Aid for me, thanks” Left on television, while being entertaining and pointed and wacky.

When, exactly, did Tingles ever do that?

[Buckeye]

Insurers get a cut, pharmacies get a cut, pharmaceuticals get a cut, and political sponsors get a cut.

[Jack Lillywhite]

Bloomberg as a member of Shinnecock Golf Club was put in charge by the members to lobby the Town of Southampton to allow them to shutdown Tuckahoe Road from Montauk highway to Sebonac road. They would allow residents with homes between the course and Sebonac access but not all the local traffic and the daily trade parade. The club would finance an extension of another road to compensate.

Now this the ex- mayor of America’s largest city whose millionaires and billionaires keep the Hamptons more viable tha potato farming and raising ducks. They gave him the Bronx cheer and told him to stick to golf and clipping coupons. An epic fail of negotiating.

[Jack Lillywhite]

Meant to add that Tuckahoe bifurcates the golf course between the 9th hole and the 13th hole.

Lyle,

Matthews made it clear over the past few weeks that he was opposed to socialism and that he believed Bernie was destroying the Democrat party.

Brave deemed most private browser in terms of 'phoning home'

"In summary, based on our measurements we find that the browsers split into three distinct groups from this privacy perspective," Prof. Leith said.

"In the first (most private) group lies Brave, in the second Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and in the third (least private) group lie Edge and Yandex."

BRAVE

Prof. Leith says that in their "out of the box" states, Brave is by far the most private browser, sending back the fewest amount of information.

"We did not find any use of identifiers allowing tracking of IP address overtime, and no sharing of the details of web pages visited with backend servers," he said.

CHROME, FIREFOX and SAFARI

On the other hand, the professor found evidence that Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all tagged telemetry data with identifiers that were linked to each browser instance. These identifiers allowed Google, Mozilla, and Apple to track users across browser restarts, but also across browser reinstalls.

In addition, Prof. Leith also found that all three browsers also shared details with their respective backends about the web pages a user visited.

"This happens via the search autocomplete feature, which sends web addresses to backend servers in realtime as they are typed," the professor said. "This functionality can be disabled by users, but in all three browsers is silently enabled by default."

EDGE and YANDEX

But the most intrusive phoning-home features were found in the new version of Microsoft Edge and the official Yandex Browser.

According to Prof. Leith, both used unique identifiers that were linked to the device's hardware, rather than the browser installation.

Tracking users by hardware allows Microsoft and Yandex to follow users across installations and potentially link browser installs with other apps and online identities.

The professor said that Edge collected the hardware UUID of the user's computer, an identifier that cannot be easily changed or deleted without altering a computer's hardware.

Similarly, Prof. Leith also found that Yandex transmitted a hash of the hardware serial number and MAC address to its backend servers.

"As far as we can tell this behaviour [in Edge and Yandex] cannot be disabled by users," the professor said.

Furthermore, just like the three browsers before, Edge and Yandex also collected and sent back information on a users' visited web pages via the search autocomplete functionality.

Coupled with a VPN, Brave seems like the way to go.

[MissMarple2]

Actually, lyle, before Clinton was proven to be a true sexual predator, Matthews sort of was like that. It's why I used to watch his show.

I think he saw himself as Spencer Tracy in "Front Page." Alas, none of his female employees were ever going to be played by Katherine Hepburn; more likely Shirley Jones or Doris Day.

[Gentlejim]

Happy birthday, Jane.

[Jack Lillywhite]

Spencer Tracy never had a “tingle” down his leg seeing FDR as a candidate.

[Porchlight]

Happy birthday Jane! I can never figure out which Facebook account you use most. :)

[Jack Lillywhite]

I agree, Clarice😅

[MissMarple2]

Jack,

Tracy probably didn't have a "tingle." What Chris was doing was casting himself in the role of the character he thought Tracy was.

Iggy @ 3:44 from the last thread

Not only do I have no idea what is either lame or dishonest about what I said I don't really have much of an idea what your objection is.

You lumping me in with Obama and other leftwingers and accusing me of helping them destroy the Constitution was what was lame and dishonest on your part.

You circled back to the original discussion on the merits of Roberts decision but our more recent discussions were concerned with the underlying issue of whether or not Congress has the Constitutional authority to pass entitlement legislation. You adamantly claim Congress does not possess that Constitutional authority. You are entitled to your opinion but 240+ years of legislative history indicates that is a 100% debatable subject and a matter of opinion. The Constitution clearly authorizes Congress to pass legislation to provide for the general welfare of the American public. It says so in black in white in Article 1 Section 8.

What has been debated for 240+ years is what exactly is the scope of "general welfare". Since that clause in the Constitution is completely generic in nature in practical terms that means whoever is in control of Congress gets to decide what the current scope is. When liberals are in control of Congress they tend to take the Hamilton approach. When conservatives are in control of Congress they tend to take the Madison/Jefferson approach. That is why in a Constitutional Republic elections have consequences. If you disagree then we will just have to agree to disagree.

I have no love for Chris Matthews, Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, or any of the rest of them.

But!

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out..."

Ailes, for example, was an old man, and no Tom Brady at any age. And I still don't know what terrible crimes he committed. Did he accidentally have sex with budding hotties against their will?

When young beautiful women are given the power to destroy successful older men with phony accusations of having been "devestated," "shaking," "unable to function," and all the rest of these years-later bullshit claims over innocuous flirt lines, long after they've reaped the rewards of cooperating with said men to further their careers, my fairness detector gets pinned in the red.

I'll fight for Chris Matthews' right to ask a woman if she thought Joan's proportions were real. (How absurd.)

The Federal Reserve is cutting but must further ease and, most importantly, come into line with other countries/competitors. We are not playing on a level field. Not fair to USA. It is finally time for the Federal Reserve to LEAD. More easing and cutting!

Or you know what we could do? We could go back to issuing our own currency that’s not based on debt. We could do that. We could heed Jefferson who said that central banks are more dangerous than standing armies. We could heed Jackson, who you admire and who abolished the Second National Bank.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--You lumping me in with Obama and other leftwingers and accusing me of helping them destroy the Constitution was what was lame and dishonest on your part.--

The expansive view of Federal government power the people that you agree with hold leads to the eventual death of the constitution unless they are stopped by people who disagree with them and whose narrow and proper view of Federal power leads to the healthy continuance of the constitution.
If you don't want to be lumped in with them, then don't agree with them on something so fundamental.

-- ...the underlying issue of whether or not Congress has the Constitutional authority to pass entitlement legislation. You adamantly claim Congress does not possess that Constitutional authority.You are entitled to your opinion but 240+ years of legislative history indicates that is a 100% debatable subject and a matter of opinion.--

To my knowledge the first actual "entitlement" as a "benefit" to the nation's general populace was Social Security which as we already resolved only passed constitutional muster because FDR threatened to pack the court and suddenly and inexplicably found a couple of new allies on the bench.
Prior to that the "general welfare" was generally seen as National Forests or Parks or the US Geological Survey. Not welfare as in "welfare state".

-- The Constitution clearly authorizes Congress to pass legislation to provide for the general welfare of the American public. It says so in black in white in Article 1 Section 8. --

No it clearly and in black and white gives the congress power to lay taxes duties, excises etc to provide for the general welfare. That is why Madison, the author, after all of most of the Constitution, explains that article 1 Section 8 properly understood is a limit on congress's taxing power not a grant of unlimited legislative power which would make a mockery of even having a constitution.

There has been a long and tedious debate about all these issues, but it has never been a serious one. It has been between those who wish to preserve the constitution and those who wish to read its provisions in such a way to vitiate any practical encumbrance on the Federal government's scope or reach.

You are close to employing the same tired mantra of Theo that the great debate in America is between two equally well intentioned and honorable philosophies engaged in a great and tidy debate about the best course for self rule.
That's bunk.
Get on the right side of that debate and you won't be lumped in with people whose intentions are antithetical to our form of government.
