Cards Against Humanity being awesome again. They're acquiring land along the border/border wall path and are retaining eminent domain specialists to make it harder and more expensive to seize that land. Too bad this promo sold out instantly.

I have a really hard time discerning if they're being very, very market savvy (because they've done this sort of thing, though not necessarily political but topical, several times and it's always bumped their sales dramatically), or if they're really that interested in what's going on and are really participating in the process.

Dollars to donuts they will build a time share condo on the lot and sell shares in it on Black Friday Cyber Monday for a satirical amount. Like 1 minute increments for a dollar.

I dont know what Trump did or did not do to help secure their release. However, they probably should have been left where they were. Go to a foreign country and think to yourself, "Excellent time to shoplift, chaps!". Get thyself to jail.

I can understand the outrage of getting arrested for, say, chewing gum in Singapore, something which is perfectly legal in your country of origin.
...but shoplifting? In what extant society is it ok to go ahead and boost something expecting no repercussions?

I had to explain trump to my 8 year old again, and was quite please with how I was able to do so;

trump is like Team Rocket: evil intentions, really bad hair and completely unable to accomplish anything. And I had to stress that the last part is the only thing we can be grateful for with trump.

A family member of an American citizen doesn't like me, I should have left 3 people, 2 of which are unrelated to him at all, in jail in a foreign nation.

Gross, regardless of what they did.

I haven't been paying attention to this story, so I'm a little confused.

Was China detaining these guys inappropriately - like denying them reasonable due process, holding them in inhumane conditions, not letting them speak to lawyers, etc?

I've not heard any hint of that, so why would Trump get involved? We wouldn't let China's politicians get involved if their basketball players shoplifted in our Louis Vuitton store

He's endorsed Moore. The AL GOP is still behind him.

Just push the fucking button already. We deserve to be nuked off the face of the earth at this point.

It strikes me as funny that there are so many "SAVE NET NEUTRALITY!!" threads on Reddit today, when they've been cited as one of the key's to Trump's election thanks to subreddits like the_donald. Leopard Eating Faces Party and all that, ya know.

Reddit is not homogenous. Each subreddit is its own culture, they just share the same road to get there. So that's a bit like saying people with phones shouldn't be for net neutrality when people with phones also voted against it. Everyone has a phone.

Eh. Go to defaults and it was generally pro-trump during the election. There's definitely a huge overlap of "pro trump, pro net neutrality" people.

I doubt it. Controlling the net amounts to controlling the media, libraries etc all in one. Controlling everyone's access to news, controlling people's access to scientific research,... there's a lot of shenanigans one can pull.

The next Democrat president will appoint a new FCC chairman, who will then reinstitute Net Neutrality provisions. It'll just make things on the internet suck until the early 2020s.

Anybody see the problems with "legislating" through regulation? Related to legislating via Executive Order IMO.

I thought they were trying to put in a provision that essentially made the reclassification read-only, and prevented the FCC from ever reclassifying it again?
second, it’ll prevent the FCC from adapting any net neutrality rules to practices that internet providers haven’t thought up yet

Yeah, that.
