Trump MAGAthread X - Follow the Money

[Senkaku]

Tragically, since the Internet is worth quite a lot of money these days and does a lot of important shit for us, it actually does concern people beyond "the otaku types."


Yes, unfortunately, as I mentioned, you aren't the only person or entity on the Internet- there are also quite a few multi-billion dollar businesses that support tens of thousands of jobs, and they can't just go play outside if ISPs start fucking with their websites.

"what could possibly go wrong?"

So we're totally going with "there was no recession starting 2007 for which years of deregulation and lack of oversight were responsible", huh?

good lord was the sarcasm that fucking subtle

i mean for god's sakes people I threw in a tongue-sticking-out face what more do you need

The FCC is also trying to block states from making their own laws that uphold net neutrality

Republicans are for state's rights how exactly? I mean I may be a dirtily Unitarian but even I can smell hypocritical bullshit when I see it.

Republicans are for states’ rights to implement Republican policy. When it comes to Democratic policy at the state level they’ll use federal power to attack and undermine it all day (see: tax bill, gun control)

If they were for state's rights they wouldn't start screeching whenever a state tries to write its own gun laws.

I do not pirate, so I am not very concerned about the net neutrality thing.

That isn't even remotely what net neutrality is about. Kindly read one of the numerous explanations that have been posted here or in the dedicated thread.

[Salandriagado]

Uh, yeah, I don't pirate either and I still kinda have a problem with the whole net neutrality thing.

It will detract zero from my happiness or quality of life, so I see no cause for alarm.

Except when NS can't afford to pay your ISP enough for you to be able to access it, so you can't get at NS any more.

...what? What in the world does that have anything to do with net neutrality?

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

It's not about piracy.

At all.

Hell, knowing that I'm in a different country makes me feel relaxed about the whole thing beacuse It won't affect me.

If some party in my country wanted to do this bullshit, i'd vote against them in a heartbeat.

Yo, I was being facetious too. We both agree remaking the SEC into a matador with his body as a blanket is so gobsmackingly stupid it's like the housing crisis never happened, yes?

Can the world's mightiest naval fleet survive the perfect storm?

It was a once-in-a-decade display of American firepower.

Three US Navy aircraft carriers -- the largest, most sophisticated warships in history -- assembled off the Korean Peninsula, in a move timed to coincide with US President Donald Trump's first official visit to the region.
But behind the dramatic show of force, questions are emerging as to whether the US Navy is up to the challenges it faces in the Pacific -- from both a nuclear-armed North Korea and a strengthening China -- at a time when its top leaders acknowledge it lacks the money, manpower and weapons to ensure success. And when a massive corruption scandal threatens the ranks of dozens of its top officers.

Happy Thanksgiving to ya all (or if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, good day yo ya )
So...shall we discuss how the most ludicrously over-funded navy on the planet is still somehow stumbling?

Root out the corruption in the Navy, then raise the Naval budget.

"So simple! Don't know why the LOSERS & HATERS can't seem to figure it out! SAD!"...
The problem's a bit more complicated than that.

Here's a development...

Flynn's lawyers no longer sharing information with Trump's legal team.

[Corrian]

Flynn seems to be cooperating wit Mueller and Flynn's lawyers are no longer contacting Trump's legal team

They've invested huge amounts of money in aircraft carriers that might not be very good, for a start.

Whatever happened to just building ships with guns that fired rounds the size of school buses? *sigh*

If you read the article, you'll see it doesn't say what you say. CNN states there could be other reasons.... LOL, like HELL.

[Jerzylvania]

If Flynn sings (and I think he has no choice), think of the money he'll make on book deals alone. The guy obviously wants to be rich, ya know. One way.... or another.

Some wanted to keep the battleships around, at least for shore bombardment. I think an accident got the people on the fence to decide to get rid of them along with the anti-battleshippers. I think I agree. Keep a hulking ship around that just blasts some shoreline? Naw.

They were relegated to the dust bin of history by big ships with flat tops that can launch many tiny flying thingies that can sink big ships with a minium loss of life and material.

I predict a certain leather couch in Flynn's future.

I predict an expensive condo in Dubai. But first, a short stint in ClubFed and a lot of contract signing. Capitalism at work, right?
