Ustrello wrote: Next thing you know he'll be blaming his treason on Ritalin or violent culture
Just two days after a young man opened fire on his classmates and teachers at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas, the National Rifle Association’s incoming president, Oliver North, blamed Ritalin and a “culture of violence.”
On “Fox News Sunday,” the controversial Iran-Contra figure told host Chris Wallace that the solution for the increasing number of school shootings ― there have been 22 so far in 2018, by one count ― is not gun control.
“We’re trying like the dickens to treat the symptoms without treating the disease,” he said.
“And the disease in this case isn’t the Second Amendment. The disease is youngsters who are steeped in a culture of violence,” he said. “They’ve been drugged in many cases. Nearly all of these perpetrators are male. ... Many of these young boys have been on Ritalin since they were in kindergarten.”
Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said that the 1925 Federal Arbitration Act trumps the National Labor Relations Act and that employees who sign employment agreements to arbitrate claims must do so on an individual basis — and may not band together to enforce claims of wage and hour violations.
Effectively this means that companies can make individual, as opposed to collective, arbitration a mandatory part of employment contracts, which in turn means the burden of legal costs is so high and cannot be amalgamated and shared among many workers with the same grievances, that it is likely that any sort of arbitration will become functionally impossible due to costs (particularly relative to any awarded judgement for individuals) and Labor will have dramatically diminished ability to fight violations.
So...much...winning.

I wonder if we're going back to the old days of wildcat strikes and companies hiring goons to beat up/murder union organizers.
But hey it'll certainly create jobs once we legalize sweatshops right guys?

The labor board doesn't have the authority to make that change... only Congress.

Have you seen Congress? They have no interest, even under Obama.
I bet this new Supreme Court judgement will help all those feeling economic anxiety in the rust belt!
Look at how badly wealth is centralized right now, and how badly prepared people are for the next recession. That wealth WILL be decentralized, Congress has the upcoming choice of doing it themselves or the people will do it for them.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

A wall around our solar system. Trump is going to have to rely on the soy..silent majority.

*EDIT* There is a very nice rendition of Blackleg Miner by Offa Rex - which is comprised of The Decemberists with Olivia Chaney - the Decemberists taking their name from a 19th century Russian anarchist movement.
The Decemberists are the only band that I was following before they made it big - mostly, the bands I listen to never make it big. Or even medium sized.

A) if true, this is very bad. If he keeps using his iPhones, he need to swap it out more frequently.
B) let's face it, this is totes believable, and I think the "2 senior officials" (hint,hint - Kelly/Bolton) sources are purposely leaking this to embarrass Don Cheeto to get with the program.
C) no, it's not the same as Hillary Clinton. This is undoubtedly bad, but not to the level of muh bathroom email server!
I mean, you state C) like it's a fact, but I think it's pretty debatable. I won't debate it with you, because I'm not a fan of wasting my time, but it does bear being pointed out.
We should be hearing the results of United States V Carpenter very soon, which are going to have some pretty major ramifications for the 4th amendment. I am hoping (And think likely) that the Supreme Court will rule in Carpenter's favor.

If they dont rule in Carpenter's favor, it essentially means that carrying a cell phone effectively means no warrant is required to track your whereabouts.
I have a feeling I know where this is going to end up, and I am not enthused.

Report didn't say it was "unsecured"... only that its good policy to swap it out (ala burner phone).
But, you do you.
I know this question has been answered just by you posting and pretty much every single person on this forum, but do you actually read the articles you post or do you just read the headlines?

?? Did you? The article tries really hard to convey they're unsecured, when in reality they're furnished and manayged by the WhiteHouseIT & Communication team... buried in the story:
senior West Wing official said the call-capable phones “are seamlessly swapped out on a regular basis through routine support operations. Because of the security controls of the Twitter phone and the Twitter account, it does not necessitate regular change-out.”
...
The West Wing official refuted the idea that the presence of a camera and microphone on the president’s phone posed any risk, telling POLITICO, “Due to inherent capabilities and advancement in technologies, these devices are more secure than any Obama-era devices.”
So... did you read the whole thing?
EDIT: my issue, is that it's wrong for Trump to ignore his security team to swap out the phones, if true. Still... nothing like muh bathroom email server.

So I'm curious, do you genuinely think repeating the same phrase in this tone is going to... what convince all those darn librals how wrong they are? Stick it to them? Troll for the sake of trolling?
Like seriously it seems like when idiotic condescension became the go-to right-wing tactic it pretty much cut the last strands between that echo chamber and reality.
