How true...

People generally are dumb about that. They put their private information up for public inspection on social media, then get outraged when someone uses it, and usually cite non-existent rights and made-up laws that they think protect them from their own foolishness.

Scraping Facebook is a violation of Facebook terms of service, but it's not illegal. There have been some attempts to pigeon-hole that as "hacking" or "unauthorized access of a computer system", but those arguments fall apart when technical experts weigh in.

Trump's contractors didn't do anything wrong in data-mining Facebook. I'd have done the same thing as a candidate, if I thought I could get the data without it being a DOS attack style access. Just don't do it all at once. But I'd have also gone after Twitter. Other social media if they have a public API, scraping if not.

David Hogg, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School senior and a student leader of the #NeverAgain movement against gun violence, was rejected from UC San Diego on Friday.

On Friday, Hogg tweeted, “Just got rejected from another college but that’s ok we’re already changing the world. Goodnight everyone.” Hogg later confirmed that he had been denied admittance to UCSD in response to a tweet suggesting he attend a California college."

He is just now applying for college, way behind the curve.

John Dowd, one of Donald Trump’s top personal lawyers, stepped down Thursday from the president’s legal team just days after calling for special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe to be shuttered.

“John Dowd has been a valuable member of our legal team and we will continue our ongoing cooperation with the office of special counsel regarding this inquiry,” Jay Sekulow, another member of the Trump legal team, said in a statement to POLITICO.

Sekulow declined to address how the Trump legal team would be organized going forward. Dowd had been spearheading negotiations with Mueller for a potential interview with the president, while Sekulow handled public communications.

Trump earlier this week added to the legal team former federal prosecutor Joseph diGenova, another bulldog lawyer who argued earlier this year that Trump had been framed by the Justice Department and FBI “with a falsely created crime.”

Dowd was being too tame. Trump wants to take the fight to the fbi/doj criminal element. Sekulow and digenova will do that.

Trade war fears rocked Wall Street on Thursday after President Trump launched a crackdown on China.
The Dow dropped more than 700 points, or 2.8%, underlining mounting concerns among investors about looming tariffs on China. It was on track to be the market's worst day since the extreme turmoil of early February.

The S&P 500 was down 2.5%, and the Nasdaq 2.2%.

"A global trade war, whether it's real or perceived, is what's weighing on the market," said Ian Winer, head of equities at Wedbush Securities. "There's this huge uncertainty now. If China decides to get tough on agriculture or anything else, that will really spook people."

Trump announced tariffs on about $50 billion worth of Chinese imports on Thursday afternoon. It's not clear which products will be hit, but the action is aimed at curbing China's troubling theft of US intellectual property.

"We have a tremendous intellectual property theft situation going on," Trump said. He also described the US trade deficit with China as "out of control."


China wasted little time in threatening to retaliate against the United States, underlining the risk of a tit-for-tat escalation that hurts global trade.

Beijing warned on Thursday it will "certainly take all necessary measures to resolutely defend" itself. China didn't specify how it will respond, but US crops like soybeans are likely to be in the crosshairs.

"There is a lot of panic selling," said Rich Guerrini, CEO of PNC Investments. "Are the tariffs a means of negotiating? There's a decent chance of that, but it's too early to tell."

Trump will give us the worst depression since 1929

thanks for the news i've heard already, alky.

Nice cartoon. Really illustrates how the Republicans are actually the Party of Obama now days.

Which dovetails nicely with other evidence, such as the Trump-Obama Republicans passing a massive unaffordable spending bill that even funds Obamacare and Planned Parenthood.

Yes, Republicans, you voted for socialism and abortion in 2016. The blood of the unborn and the financial collapse of this country, is on your hands just as much as on the Democrats'.

Indeed, they voted for socialism for the rich.

As for holding China as an example of free market success, that was misguided IMO.
