Are you shaking with anger and outrage that illegal immigrants can be licensed drivers?

>Are you shaking with anger and outrage that illegal immigrants can be licensed drivers?

I'm shaking with anger and outrage that illegal immigrants are still allowed in this country.

Since we aren't deporting them and they clearly don't care about breaking the law and will drive anyway, I see the logic in issuing driver's licenses. But does anyone know how we prevent an illegal with a licence from voting? I know in mn all I need is an id with my address to do same day registration, and with the California motor voter law I think they can do the same. So how is the fraud that liberals so vehemently deny being prevented? I've tried to do some research but have not been able to find anything, other than president Obama promising that voter rolls will never be used to find and deport illegals.

Do you know what it would take to record and store even 1 day of audio from homes with Alexa nationwide?

I'm going to guess that Amazon will come back with, 'yea, right. Here's 1 quadrillion gigabytes of people asking how Alexa would fuck them. if you want the toilet paper orders, it'll be another quad.'

>>95390

Pretty much this. I work for Amazon, we have a lot of data centers but not nearly enough to store even a fraction of what people say to Alexa.

Unless we are talking about just transcripts. But those would be incomplete because Alexa can only understand one person speaking at a time.

This is retarded.

When is the crash coming?

If Trump has Bush's luck, it will be after his reelection and close enough to the end of his second term that the next guy gets all the blame.

Can you lay out the evidence for and nature of the hacks for me. All I have ever seen is that "sources" claim that they took place, but details of exactly what happened are few and far between.

>>92027
It certainly looks bad but unless they colluded with the Trump team, which they didn't, there's no legal recourse.

While that is a sad comment on society, I have to say that I actually found nothing I can disagree with this woman.

>I had no idea that I was responsible for my own happiness. I thought my husband should make me happy.

wow who knew

>I had trained my husband to ask my permission for everything. And then complained about it for a year in counselling that he couldn't make simple decisions!

This is my favourite one. It's like she accidentally red-pilled herself.

The opinion was requested by James Wright, Nevada Department of Public Safety director, who sought guidance after being informed by the FBI that it would not conduct background checks alone.

In its letter, the FBI said Nevada is a “point of contact” state that uses the federal NICS system and a state central repository — a database that includes such things as mental health records, domestic violence incidents, misdemeanor criminal records and arrests reports, as well as restraining orders.

“The state of Nevada can provide a more comprehensive NICS check that is accomplished when a (point of contact) accesses state-held databases that are not available to the FBI,” the letter said. “The Nevada DPS is also in a better position for understanding and applying state laws.”

It concluded that “the recent passage of the Nevada legislation regarding background checks for private sales cannot dictate how federal resources are applied.”

Opinions from the attorney general’s office are not legally binding and or set legal precedent. But coupled with the FBI’s stance it is a major setback for the gun background check effort that began in 2013, when Democrats controlled both chambers of the Nevada Legislature and passed a bill requiring universal background checks on all gun transfers. Sandoval, a Republican, vetoed the measure, saying it infringed on Nevadans’ Second Amendment rights.

Proponents, financed largely by Everytown for Gun Safety, a group formed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, filed an initiative to take the issue directly to voters. Question 1 failed in every Nevada county except Clark, which, with an overwhelming Democratic population base, pushed it to passage by nearly 10,000 votes.

Laxalt’s opinion got some state Democrats fired up Wednesday.

“Background checks are the law in Nevada, and it is the Attorney General’s job to enforce Nevada law,” Ford said in a statement. “It is clear however, that he has succumbed to out-of-state special interests interested in thwarting the will of the people.”

Jennifer Crowe, spokeswoman for Nevada Moms Demand Action, and a part of the campaign to pass extended background checks, echoed the sentiment. She said the group is confident the state and the FBI will work together to implement the will of the people.

Crowe said several states have hybrid systems using both in-state and federal systems, and the Department of Public Safety can explore other options with the FBI.

“There are lots of ways to resolve it this, if people want to resolve it,” she said.

Opposition to the new law was funded mainly from the National Rifle Association. Robert Uithoven, director of NRA Nevadans for Freedom and a close ally of Laxalt, hailed the opinion.

“This is what happens when you allow uninformed, out-of-state groups that prey on people’s emotions to write your laws,” Uithoven said in a statement.

A core argument from the opposition campaign was that the law was poorly written, and Don Turner, president of the Nevada Firearms Coalition, said the FBI letter proved that.

The firearms coalition reached out to Laxalt’s office shortly after the election for guidance on how to proceed with the new law, Turner said. A meeting was requested, but Laxalt’s office responded that a meeting may not be necessary.

“Whoever put the ballot initiative together didn’t research very well,” Turner said. “It’s what we kept saying all along.”

Sandoval spokeswoman Mari St. Martin said the governor will review the opinion and discuss it with the department of public safety.

Justin Jones, a former state senator who carried the 2013 bill, suggested Laxalt’s opinion was politically motivated.

“A version of this law passed the Nevada Legislature, was later upheld by a state court and then made law by a majority of Nevadans,” he said in an email. “Attorney General Laxalt’s job is to enforce the laws, not to seek out ways to avoid enforcing laws he doesn’t agree with to advance his conservative political agenda.”

perfectly timed for Trumps reelection

>>95579
The only issue he will have is spinning this into why we are no 1 but need far less jobs to get it done. Or he can just claim he did his best. Either way it still kinda works out for him.

>>95590
pretty much, although even if the opposite happens, they'll find a way to blame democrats and liberals.

>BIG DONORS

>Then: "Crooked Hillary. Look, can you imagine another four years of the Clintons? Seriously. It's time to move on. And she's totally controlled by Wall Street and all these people that gave her millions," Trump said at a May rally in Lynden, Washington.

>Now: Trump has stocked his Cabinet with six top donors — far more than any recent White House. "I want people that made a fortune. Because now they're negotiating with you, OK?" Trump said, in a December 9 speech in Des Moines.

>The biggest giver? Linda McMahon, incoming small business administrator, gave $7.5 million to a super PAC backing Trump, more than a third of the money collected by the political action committee.

>NEWS CONFERENCES

>Then: "She doesn't do news conferences, because she can't," Trump said at an August rally in Ashburn, Virginia. "She's so dishonest she doesn't want people peppering her with questions."

>Now: Trump opened his last news conference on July 27, saying: "You know, I put myself through your news conferences often, not that it's fun."

>He hasn't held one since.

>Trump skipped the news conference a president-elect typically gives after winning the White House. Instead, he released a YouTube video of under three minutes. He also recently abruptly canceled plans to hold his first post-election news conference, opting instead to describe his plans for managing his businesses in tweets. "I will hold a press conference in the near future to discuss the business, Cabinet picks and all other topics of interest. Busy times!" he tweeted in mid-December.

>FAMILY TIES:

>Then: "It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins. It is now abundantly clear that the Clintons set up a business to profit from public office. They sold access and specific actions by and really for I guess the making of large amounts of money," Trump said at an August rally in Austin.

>Now: While Trump has promised to separate himself from his businesses, there is plenty of overlap between his enterprises and his immediate family. His companies will be run by his sons, Donald Jr and Eric. And his daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have joined Trump at a number of meetings with world leaders of countries where the family has financial interests.

>In a financial disclosure he was required to file during the campaign, Trump listed stakes in about 500 companies in at least 25 countries.

>Ivanka, in particular, has been caught making early efforts to leverage her father's new position into profits. After an interview with the family appeared on "60 Minutes," her jewelry company, Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, blasted out an email promoting the $10,800 gold bangle bracelet that she had worn during the appearance. The company later said they were "proactively discussing new policies and procedures."

>Ivanka is also auctioning off a private coffee meeting with her to benefit her brother's foundation. The meeting is valued at $50,000, with the current top bid coming in at $25,000.

>"United States Secret Service will be Present for the Duration of the Experience," warns the auction site.

>Trump on Saturday said he would dissolve his charitable foundation amid efforts to eliminate any conflicts of interest before he takes office next month.

In Davao, his iron fist and earthy style granted him undisputed popularity through 22 years in office. However, his links to the death squads of Davao, which reports claim have killed more than 1,400 suspected criminals since the late 1990s, prompted the first accusations of human rights violations. He has both denied and admitted to having links to death squads, and to killing criminals personally. Duterte has repeatedly urged people to take matters into their own hands and kill drug users and pushers, while at the same time condemning extrajudicial killings.

Although widely criticized by the UN, the United States, the European Union, and international human rights organizations, Duterte’s stance against corruption and drugs enjoys strong support at home. The comic is one of the products of this popularity. Margot Delos Santos, program director at the company behind it, Strawberry Field Productions, says creating the comics was their initiative. “It was a sample that we made and then we sent it to them [Duterte’s office], and they liked the idea. We like to support the advocacy of our president; drugs are something that will destroy our nation,” says Delos Santos.

According to the secretary of the Presidential Communications Office, Martin Andanar, the comic “didn’t cost the Government a single centavo.”

The comic has been distributed since October in the Philippines and in some Filipino communities abroad, particularly in countries Duterte has visited. The first time was in Brunei in mid-October, then China, and the most recent was Cambodia, where Andanar says “they ran out of comics.” The sample edition, with the subtitle “Eradicate: Dangerous Drugs,” is intended to be the first in a series about drug abuse in the Philippines. It is labelled an “infocomic” because its contents are inspired by real events. “It is about real life situations, so it is really easy to come up with a scenario, because this is what you see in the news.

If you are in the Philippines you will see a lot of these things happening,” explains Delos Santos.

Duterte claims that there are 3 or 4 million drug addicts in the Philippines, but the Dangerous Drugs Board estimated in a survey published in October that there are 1.8 million users in a population of 100 million. Shabu (methamphetamine) is the most used drug, with 4 out of 5 drug users who seek treatment taking it, according to 2014 data from the Drug Abuse Information Network for Asia and the Pacific.

Criminality has been a major national concern for Filipinos throughout 2015 and 2016, according to Pulse Asia surveys, but not the first one. From July to November, data from the Philippine National Police show that the overall crime rate (murder, homicide, physical injury and rape, and crimes against property) has declined from 81,064 cases to 55,391. On the other hand, murder has increased from 3,950 to 5,970 in the same period.

In a recent survey of Social Weather Stations last week, 78 percent of the Filipinos interviewed were worried about becoming victims of extrajudicial killings and 94 percent considered it important to capture drug suspects alive. The same poll, however, showed that 85 percent of respondents were satisfied with the administration’s campaign against drugs.

In Cambodia, the last place where the comic was distributed, it is hard to find a Filipino who doesn’t support Duterte. On the eve of his visit, six Filipinos re-enacted the killing of a drug dealer in front of Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace in a protest that lasted a few minutes. That same day, the president met with more than a thousand compatriots that received him like a rock star.

At a restaurant in the capital, some Filipinos comment on Duterte’s mandate so far, which they think is unfairly represented in the international media.

“He is the only president who has been in the position, who responded on time, who was able to really put into action what he has promised before the elections so, in that perspective, he is respected,” says English teacher Cai Delos Santos. “For Duterte, when he says stop you should stop, or otherwise he will do something that will make you stop,” adds Delos Santos, who attended the gathering with the president during his visit to Cambodia.

“Mostly the crimes are because of the drugs so this one [the comic] is just informing people that if we use the drugs we can commit a lot of crimes,” says her friend Hanna Mendoza, who is also an English teacher.

Last week, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein asked the Filipino authorities to investigate Duterte after he publicly admitted to killing three suspected criminals when he was mayor of Davao. Al Hussein said in a statement that Duterte’s “repeated calls for the police, military and the general public to engage in a ‘war on drugs’, bringing people in ‘dead or alive’, has fostered an environment of alarming impunity and violence.”

The president responded by calling Al Hussein an idiot and a son of a bitch, enlarging the list of international personalities he has insulted, which already includes Barack Obama and Pope Francis.

Andanar thinks that the policies of Duterte need further explanation abroad. “The local people, the domestic market understands the war on drugs, but unfortunately the international community, the international media, needs more education when it comes to the war against illegal drugs. They need more explanation,” says the secretary of the Presidential Communications Office.
