I choose to live here and have no problem with it.  China spying, on the other hand...

 

 

Imagine that.....I'm sure it was only about the tariffs, right Con?

  

"Trump Orders Help For Chinese Phone-Maker After China Approves Money For Trump Project

Trump will profit from Indonesian resort project that will get $500 million in Chinese loans in a deal sealed days before before his tweet ordering help for ZTE."

"Only" about the tariffs????  Why do you say "only"? I personally don't think it's "only" about tariffs.

ITT said pretending he is intellectually superior to everyone, but also admits he believes the Government controls the weather.  Not to mention he didn't know the Government has been spying on him for countless years, but he is ok with that, because he is a puppet that can't think on his own.

Also, LOL at the bolded part.  I guess my post could have ended there.

No, because that's stupid.  

Yes.

But to continue along the lines you're drawing: Yes, China spies on us. We spy on them, hell, we spy on everybody. We spy on Merkel when she goes to get her hair done ffs. Everybody spies on us, too. Spies in every government since awareness of the fact that political factions have different ideologies. But what I think is going on with this particular issue is just TDS. Which is fine, IMO, because I don't like him either. But cell phone deals don't add into my dislike or fit into that slot.

Not everyone provides cell phones.

Hope this helps.

lol ok Jeff.  Hey Justin, are you going to contiously allow said to come back to this site and post my personal information after you permaban him for the 5th time? 

Yeah, FFS can we get a permaban of the HOF account? It’s clearly said and he just posted AGAIN the name of a poster on here. 

If we allow him to keep posting, am I allowed to post his real name, employer, and Facebook page? 

Whoa...first names being dropped. Shit is getting out of hand!

He gone.

Ask CC about that.  It got real serious for him real quick.

Looks like Mueller just up and announced that his investigation will end.

He must be cutting a deal that he stops his witch hunt so Trump DOJ keeps him out of the investgation thats coming to the Obama admin over spying.

I don't know that Trump will just let go of the infiltration and spying.  This type of abuse of power is so threatening to the foundations of the republic, it must be fully exposed and prosecuted.

agreed.  And everyone that is part of the cover up or leaking or anything else at the DOJ, CIA, FBI should all go to jail

Why?  If I read correctly, it's rolling back a 2015 law dictating how Alaska manages its predator populations.

Environmental groups think it's wrong, as they usually do, to monetize the program via hunting permits.  They seem to feel it's less cruel for nature to accomplish this thru starvation and disease.

im all for hunting.  but setting out bacon and donuts and waiting for a bear to come along and shooting it isnt hunting imo.  shooting sleeping bears during hibernation doesnt seem all that sporty to me

But from Alaska govt perspective, it's not about hunting but population control.  So why does it matter how someone gets their bear, so long as it is one and only one bear?

Classic federal govt overreach.  This is for Alaska alone to decide and manage.

I guess to some people it doesnt.  Its pathetic in my opinion

Perhaps. But I'd rather not have a central government micromanaging behaviors some might find pathetic. Alaska is more than qualified to manage their own resources.

Not at all. It's strictly a numbers game.  What they allow via permit is dependent on how many animals they need removed from the population.  That's why Alaska, and not the feds, should make these determinations.

I seriously, seriously doubt many hunters are going after cubs.  That's typical HuffPo inflammatory bullshit.

seems more of a move to remove something obama put in place than to protect alaska wildlife imo

I'm okay with reversing federal overreach, regardless of who implemented it, or who is reversing it.

... to me

This little prepositional phrase is meaningful.  It demonstrates that this is your own perspective/opinion.  You're entitled to believing it, and there should never be a legal means of taking that away from you.

However, laws shouldn't be based on individual opinions.

It's like marital infidelity.  I find that pathetic and cowardly.  Doesn't mean I think it should ever be a matter for any court or legislature.

I certainly was speaking for my own personal opinion on the matter of killing animals in certain ways.  If my thoughts were construed as being in favor of big govt or making some comment on the states rights vs. federal laws it wasnt.  as far as laws being based on individual opinions i would say that absolutely laws are made on individual opinions of many people.
