You have a child’s understanding of our government. This isn’t a Tom Cruise movie.

Yes, almost as if political issues affect everyone, you included. What a shame there aren’t more “apolitical” tech drones out there willing to go silently along with the status quo. Please, tell me more about fucking micro services or whate

If only we had sane leaders who didn’t voice similar idiotic thoughts in public.

Humans are not conductive enough for standing waves to form at that scale, so this analysis does not make sense. The human body, as a macro object, does not resonate with EM waves in any way. Proteins in the body are a different story, obvi

You're assuming the free speech argument is in good faith. It isn't. Trump is upset because he expects everyone to utterly capitulate to him, and Twitter won't kiss the ring.

We clearly have different standards of what’s acceptable. This country’s gone to absolute shit in the last 20 years.

Agreed, he’s definitely going to jail. But nobody ever accused him of being smart.

I disagree. You don’t really want to shoot people, but others do. It’s hard to understand, but violence always is.

Yeah, it’s not going to be easy. But I’m deeply afraid living here and certainly can’t raise my child here.

I would not describe the people who swarmed various state capitol buildings in recent weeks as hunkering down. They’re itching for a fight.

Anything I feel like saying is deserving of an HN comment. The bar is extremely low. How about the WA state senator exposed as a member of a militia group which wants to overthrow the government? Or the protesters who hung an effigy of the

What makes you so sure? Until last month there was less unemployment than at any time in our nation’s history. Things stay the same until they change.

Something like: militia groups across the country decide to go into their nearest big cities and start killing anyone they view as political opponents. Or maybe high ranking elements in the armed forces decide enough is enough and start a c

Riots. Unrest. Economic decline.

This is just the lowest hanging fruit of a zillion things China thinks it owns. Today it's Hong Kong. Tomorrow, Taiwan. Then the East Philippine Sea. It's hard to see where it ends.
