No complaints about being on the verge of a grave spitter?
Not in that particular post, no. But I appreciate you checking.
No, Facebook is representing one thing while doing the opposite. It's called misrepresenting themselves. You can't see that because you are a blind partisan.
The day I think of Facebook as a news source is the day you get to call me blind.
The day I believe the crap Facebook puts in my face is the day you get to call me partisan.
Both dates have not yet come.

TYTT is correct.
the other point is that most recent numbers for facebook is over one billion users this quarter.
Now, you can see, how that contrived viewpoint is reaching a LOT of people.
In the OP, is the story by the whistleblowers, that facebook is deliberately changing what stories are trending, and "weeding out" those with a positive conservative message.
That is dishonest.
Just let the actual list be there (unedited) that's all people want.................

Don't like it? Go start a Facebook rival.
Or keep whining about it. Both are permitted in the free market.

We're on the verge of electing a president from reality TV. Might as well whine about the journalistic integrity of Facebook news.

Wrong. No matter her opponent, if she releases her transcripts and her supporters and especially people on the fence can no longer delude themselves into thinking that she's not in Wall Street's pockets, she's lost her "I'm for the little guy" facade and it makes her little different from Trump. IOW there is no political advantage to not releasing them to get them out of the way, even more so since Bern has been out of it for months given the Dems' rigged system.
As for Trump, as 3rd said, tax returns indicate income not wealth. But even if they did, saying "Ha! You're only worth $4.1B (like Forbes estimates) and not $9B!" sounds kind of silly, donchathink? He doesn't want to release his taxes because his effective tax rate is likely far below what people think he should be paying and he saw how that effected Romney.
So, how much then?
Guess we'll see how it plays out. We already know more or less what Hillary said from the many eyewitness accounts. So that will be a non story. Trump's tax returns, however, will be a story.
-
She's not going to release them. I'll bet money on it.
Wrong. We already know what she said so the transcript release is not that big of a deal but she can use them in the political game of thrones. Once Bernie is out. She will crank up the heat on Trump's tax returns...he will hit back with the transcripts. That will go on for a few days. Then she will release them and leave Trump as the only one hiding something...which will bury the content of the transcripts (which is mostly already known) as the second story to Trump's lack of transparency on taxes.
Politics is a longer game. The transcripts do not hurt her with Trump as her opponent at all. They destroy her with Sanders as her opponent.
Trump's taxes, should they come out, will show he's nowhere near as wealthy as he claims. That's a given. And he's going to look really bad in a superficial way that matters since he's the superficial candidate.
-
And Politico and The Wall Street Journal have reported exactly the same information about Clinton’s ability to release these speech transcripts unilaterally.
The truth about Hillary Clinton's Wall Street speeches - Apr. 20, 2016money.cnn.com/2016/04/20/news/.
What Hillary Clinton said in her paid speeches - POLITICOwww.politico.com/story/2016/02/clinton-speeches-218969Exactly. Only Sanders can get traction over the speeches. Trump can't. She will release them after the primary to a momentary media franzy then it will be over.
-
I would like to know what was on her server, that every half way credible foreign intelligence service also has in their possession now.
That is the bigger story.
She's not being an idiot. She's not releasing them for a reason.
I doubt there's anything in those transcripts that would hurt damage her worse than she's already damaged. She went to Wall Street and blew them on stage because they gave her money. Bernie will attack her for it but will anyone change their vote? We already know she's a whore for whatever will help her get elected.
-
The easy retort is to say he'll release them when Hilly releases her Wall Street speech transcripts.
Hillary is being an idiot there, but I suspect there's less in those transcripts than in Trump's tax returns.

step one: acknowledgement of homosexuals through marraige.
step two: trannies in bathrooms
step three: PEDOPHILES ARE NORMAL
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html?_r=0
It's hard to be right all the time.
Your oversimplifaction of the article notwithstanding, it raises an interesting point that treatment for many things is available before an act is committed, but pedopilia we don't even try to treat. It's actually screwed up.
We should try to treat people who feel the urge to act (but don't) AND AT THE SAME TIME, punish actors with the harshest penalties possible. And that's where the article's title "Pedophilia a disorder, not a crime" gets it totally wrong.

I can't wait until his self-valuation evolves when he releases his taxes.
The rise of the tax releasing is only just starting. Such an easy target.

This should be fun to watch: Trump's Butler Hates Negroes, Calls 'Killery' Clinton A C**T.
Fortunately, Trump is a Democrat so this probably won't get much play.
The exciting news is that it's only the beginning!
-
He's conning everyone, and I'm at least thankful that many strong voices are not falling for it and in fact are fighting back. Hell, it's not like Trump's chances vs. Hillary are better if the right unites. He's already toast. It's just a matter of waiting.
That head to head number keeps dropping and I'm as shocked by it as anyone.

Edited to show what was in the "Phony Intellectual Handbook Guidelines To Sounding Above It All" before the specific topic was selected. Granted Trump gives them more ammo than just about anyone imaginable, but they are still phonies. Actually Hillary gives them more ammo than even Trump but they are not allowed to use the same tactics on her.
I'll do one:
Hillary tweet: The top 25 hedge fund managers make more than all of the kindergarten teachers in America combined. That's not acceptable.
Hillary tweet when filtered through the "Phony Intellectual Handbook Guidelines To Sounding Above It All" filter: I don't think Hillary supporters are fully informed on what she wants to do to our economic structure. Let's take her plan to dictate the incomes of people in the financial industry versus those in education. It is reminiscent of Mussolini's dictates with regard to economic output which helped divide the world in WW2. Given today's advanced weaponry, a repeat could lead to all out nuclear war and the death of every man woman and child on the planet.
This is the bash Trump thread. Hillary's thread is a few below. Let's not cross the streams.

Trump-onomics.
How to deal with the debt: Two approaches.
1) You cut a deal and pay back less than you owe
2) You print more money
You can't make this guy's stupidity up.

People need medications to treat diseases they have, which they can/will not control by other means.
Doctors act as a gatekeeper to drugs, with mixed success in that role.
-
Fixed it for you.
No one gets Rx drugs without doctors.
Doctors are the gatekeeper to drugs like lawyers are the gatekeeper to lawsuits.

I don't care to get into a jousting match with you on this subject. But I will respond to at least one of your linked articles.

Can you tell us how long the patent life remains in place after FDA approval? If a drug was discovered and patented, then run through Phase II and III clinical trials. On average how much of the 17 year patent life remains?
Just hopping in on this one point. The patent term is 20 years from the date applied for and a bio patent's term gets extended for delays in the FDA approval process using something called patent term extension.
To Magox's point, I want the drug companies to have high margins. They take the biggest risks in R&D.

Paterno obviously knew and either took it up the chain and then did nothing or just did nothing throughout. I don't care about him at this point but I still find it despicable that the "School" and its defenders keep football at the top of their priority list. This scandal was just a little bump in the road. Back to celebrating the culture that allowed this to happen.
-
Yes, but he's not establishment. He's barely a Democrat.
He's also got no shot to be elected.
So the guy who will finish with the 3rd most votes in this process, which is rigged by the establishment according to you, is not establishment?
Bernie came a lot closer to winning this than you think. If the nomination process started now, I think he'd be our next president. He would beat Hillary an polls show he'd destroy Trump.
That is, if the Illuminati didn't intervene and poison his green tea.

In the '20s and '30s, Congress passed a law concerning aeronautics patents: you couldn't prevent anyone else from using it. The users would have to pay you a license to use it, of course...but you couldn't forbid it. The ultimate result was increased innovation and decreased price as it decoupled invention from production.
There's better, more creative ways to address the issue than simply playing class warfare by demonizing the drug companies and patent process.
Compulsory licensing in one form or another exists in many countries. India uses it for drugs. Europe has some version of it for telecommunications.
As the country doing most of the R&D, the US has always resisted it (your contrary example notwithstanding).

Only a dumb ass would throw out an arbitrary figure without sufficient research behind making such a projection.
What are you saying here? I don't follow.

Yup, it's a noticeable change in talking points.
Bernie Sanders.

Get it right. It's a reality TV self promoter vs a maleficent scheming sell out.
Don't confuse the two.
