I saw how money partially bought the presidency. (people actually love him, but the big luxurious personal jet certainly helped in the primary) In this case I don't mind. He's a good man. His money makes him far less tempted by bribes. The adventure has cost him over a billion dollars. Our more typical presidents get rich from the experience, despite the salary being pitiful. The US president gets paid like a San Fra…

The only reason why you need to state that "people actually love him", is because they don't. There is no other reason for that.

How do you know he lost a billion dollars? Did you see his tax records? I'm pretty sure it's ain't because of the lack of trying if it was so.

In a normal situation, I can't imagine any scenario that a businessman can lose a billion dollars by becoming president. But this is the only guy that is literally capable of failing upwards.

Criminal indictments with the current administration : 215.

With Obama: 0, but... Obama did 8 years. The current one isn't even at 4.

Why do you keep changing the subject of the discussion? First, you wrote that most police and police unions are not antagonistic towards sectors outside of the usa. Now, you wrote what is called a red-herring or a strawman. You made a very strong but incorrect statement at first. Strong statements are easy to debunk, just with a little proof. I provided a link to pages of that. It's very telling that you now characte…

funny you call Google searches as proof and debunking, when they are at most confirmation bias, since they only return what you ask for. if you think that is research, there's no more point to discuss. the statement stands. the fear of police is deeply ingrained in the American society and the antagonism is deeply American. dropping fallacy names at random is not gonna help your case either. the populace here deeply…

That's a nice change of subject - again.

What I showed was a google search of images. You have failed to show any as belonging to a different subject than the search requested. The reason for that is that the searches accuractly showed pictures of police beating people in Europe.

> there's zero systemic abuse of justice of the likes that we see in the American news circles, no matter how you wish that the rest of the world is as bad as they are, it is not.

Why do you pretend I engaged confirmation bias, when you consistently write statements of that nature? You have literally created a strawman of what you beleive to be inside my head. No matter how much you believe that you are smarter than everyone around you, all you have written is a textbook, stereotypical set of logical fallacies.

So you're saying I can build a thing that reboot-loops all hidden cameras within a radius around me?

Sounds like you're throwing a challenge to the Hackaday types out there. And amusingly enough, using cheap hardware to mess with RF devices around you reminds of Steve Lord's hilarious/informative/vicious "Cider Kill-chain" talk.[0] Since attacks only improve over time, the code golf to make the devices more effective could prove quite entertaining to watch - from a safe distance. 0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t…

I am the hackaday types on here! If someone has a sample of one of those remotes I'd love to rev-eng it.

In real life, I don't even know a person who dislikes Trump. I have never encountered a pro-Biden sign. Maybe it would be different if I worked for Twitter in San Francisco?

I love how you point out that our criminal justice system wasn't prosecuting the criminals because it was infested with corrupt Obama appointees.

It's not zero though. Here's one convicted just last week:

"Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the investigation into links between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign."

The crime was altering an email so that it would work as evidence to get the FISA court to allow spying on the Trump campaign. That is far worse than the incident with Nixon.
