Trying to diagnose Trump as mentally ill is a bad idea.

The real political center

jeudi 4 août 2016 à 02:00

Don't blame Sanders for Americans' reluctance to support another "centrist" Democrat.

Unjustified searches

jeudi 4 août 2016 à 02:00

MI5 admitted that rogue officers carried out searches about 20 prominent people with no apparent justification from their duties. The 20 people have not been informed that they were targeted, and we don't know who they were.

I am more worried about the thousands of searches that the officers do for reasons that are officially approved.

MI5 systematically resists legally mandated independent oversight of its bulk data collection.

US agencies have developed their own ways to make a monkey out of laws that are supposed to limit what they do.

The minister in charge of new business-supremacy treaties advocates a complete end to welfare for the poor, and worked with ALEC a few years ago.

Assange timed the DNC emails leak to hurt Clinton, saying that she is a known enemy of freedom of the press (and Wikileaks), while he doesn't know what Trump would do.
