Gfted1 wouldn't you agree with all your years on this forum and everything you have seen you can objectively say my sources of information are the most accurate?
Not your sources, BVC, its you yourself! I frequently scour the forums with the search function just to find your pearls of wisdom to impart onto others.
I believe that you are sincere with this claim

And Republican governments cover voting hacking because it is done in their favor
-
"dinner at the White House, he repeated his claim that millions of undocumented immigrants voted for Hillary Clinton -- allegedly depriving him of the popular vote.
"I wasn't there, but if the President of the United States is claiming that 3.5 million people voted illegally, that shakes confidence in our democracy —"
L0L Is that for real? Meanwhile the anti Trumpers are whining about how a foreign country hacked the election.. doesn't THAT shake confidence in your democracy? COME ON.
Like you don't know that here is massive difference in elected president claiming things in official setting compared to private citizens whining about something.
Also there was provable case of hacking and leaking information during elections, as we all were able to see those leaked emails, even if people that did hack and leak can't be identified for sure, where any proof that even singular people are voting illegally is nearly non-existent and there isn't anything that even remotely suggest thousands let alone millions of people are voting illegally in US. But world where everything that you claim is just alternative fact there seems to be no need for any proof and if such behavior is accepted for president and his advisory then it is accepted to everybody else.

USA gives money to development aid like all the other world's richest countries. It has been sore point for some people already decades, so I would say that you are bit late in your realization.
I seems so! Its shocking to me that we piss away funds making sure women in other countries can get abortions. We could be using that money to train bums in a vocation or something but instead we concern ourselves minutiae of other countries breeding.
Much like Planned Parenthood, characterizing these clinics simply by the fact they offer abortions is usually a gross misrepresentation. It would also be my guess that these are parts of the world where women struggle to get access to decent healthcare, and this funding is part of an attempt to help women across the globe.
That being said, I have no issue with the US pulling back on funding other countries while we try to strengthen our own health care systems that sorely need it. I have a big problem with us making it about abortion and turning it into political, though.
But the hings is that USA don't actually pull back funding (at least not yet), it just deny it from clinics and organizations that provide abortions or give information about abortions, even if they don't use a cent that they get from USA to provide said services. Meaning that it is just political maneuver against abortion and women's healthcare at same. But it is something that all republican presidents have done starting from Reagan.

Wait, we fund women's clinics in other countries? Like we don't have enough needy of our own? What a waste. smh.

Trump's game is to stir controversy in topics that don't matter in order to get less attention to other things that he does, like cutting funding from women clinics in developing countries that offer abortion services.

The gigapixel is clearly not ground level, you can see a platform well above the crowd from above. But OK, may be I'm missing something in the video, can you tell which video time is 12 pm in DC? Edit: And again, my main point is that the picture that NYT used, and the one that's been republished most often, is the one 45 minutes before the swearing in, why is that according to you?
At the moment when it stopped timelapse and started to zoom in.

I suppose that reason why most people who voted Trump are not being seen in the streets that much is that they were A) from rural areas, B) have a jo,b so its hard for them to riot for days in city centers xD
I though people voted him because they had lost their jobs and he will bring them back.
I think unemployed vote were marginal, point was that bringing jobs back ofcourse affects middle class and business associated with big companies. eg if you start manufacturing cars, someone have to repair them as well, someone have to insure them, someone have to transport them around etc etc. thats what is creating jobs and benefiting middle class
But if everybody already has job, why they would need drastic measures to create more of them? Do they plan to bring Mexicans to do the jobs or what?
Also car manufacturing don't itself bring repair jobs you need people buying said cars and use them to make repair jobs, and bringing manufacturing job to back to US may rise prices of cars, as manufacturing in US is said to be more expensive than it is in Mexico, and higher priced cars usually mean less sold cars, which means less need for repair shops etc. which means less jobs in that sector.
If there are more jobs than people, it drives companies to compete for employees -> salary raise -> happy middle class
so yes, it can drive price of item in question higher, however you gain more cash as well, and not all items will go up in price or not that much as your salary (in theory at least)
But if already higher salaries go even higher, then those product prices rise even more. But it also means that companies have less money to put in other sectors, which would mean that in them jobs or salaries are going down. Because when US companies bring back their manufacturing jobs to US they don't bring new money to US economy, because money they make from manufacturing their products in Mexico and China already is part of US economy, meaning that when you lower amount profit they can make from manufacturing goods you lower amount money they can put in other sectors. Which means like I said that people that do manufacturing jobs may see increase in salaries and jobs, but in other sectors workers will see decrease in salaries and jobs. Except if US government will take loan and give that as compensation for companies that bring their jobs back so that there is more money to go around, but even that may not be enough as those manufacturing products are also sold in other countries, where those new higher prices may significantly lower amount of sold products as there will be cheaper products in market from their own companies.

It seems that Trump will be most successful, beloved, and benevolent leader in history of universe. If you don't believe me now, you will believe me when you see the alternative facts say so after his first term of many to come. Because it will also be alternative fact that person can be president more than two terms, no need to change law even. It is alternative fact.

Finlands inheritance tax is quite more severe. There's even the possibility, in some rare cases, that you have to pay the tax before you get the actual inheritance, which can really **** you over.
That is not really true, but in cases where there are multiple people inheriting they have dispute who gets what, it is possible that you need to pay inheritance taxes before said dispute is over and you can get access to what you have inherited. I have suffered through one such case.
But 30% tax for 100k euros house is exaggerating things. As it is tiered tax where you have base tax 3500€ for 60k-200k + 13% for everything that is over 60k so in case of 100k 3500€ + 5200€ (13% of 40k€), which means that effective tax is 8.7% of said house's value.

Trump's plans seems to be very communistic in their roots. Protectionism, going against markets to ensure that low level jobs are kept in USA, going against free market agreements, being very bothered to look like success in public image and lying if necessary in order to keep good front and accusing everybody of lying that say otherwise.
I have not seen such communistic leader and future dictator after fall of Soviet Union.

now that thankfully marriage for the LGBT is legal and has to be enforced (that actually fixes a lot of the rights they were denied), can u give me examples of some rights and protections they are denied?
Protection? It's illegal to discriminate against them, it's illegal to harm/threaten violently because simply being LGBT rises the punishment to a higher level than if someone else got the same done to them, their rights supersede religious freedom (I'm glad this is actually done.
Unfortuantly I do agree that in USA that the special privileges to go to certain people I believe to keep them lower class while helping them out but to "it's a trap!" them at a certain area/status because if they rise above it, they lose those "special" privileges.
For example
Protections against employment discrimination isn't everywhere in same level as they are for other citizens.
Ability to adopt a child as couple isn't everywhere in same level as they are for other citizens.
Protections against denial of service isn't everywhere on same level as it is for other citizens.

What? Treating LGBT as regular citizens? The horror.If he treats the LGBT as regular citizens, I won't be mad and I'll agree with it. If he treats them less or special treatment, then I'll be outraged.
Right now he's cleaning house, I'm gonna hold judgement until I see what he actually does.
I know right?
"Do you want to be treated as an equal or do u want to be treated as special? If you are treated as an equal, then u won't be treated as if your special because your just like everyone else. If you are treated as special, then you won't be treated as if your equal because then your different and not like everyone else.
But you don't treat LGBT citizens as equal to other citizens as you give (USA) them less rights and less protections against things than you give to other citizens. Meaning that special treatment that you speak is that you treat them as special in sense that they are lower class citizens. But of course for some equality means that people are equal if they rights only when they are able to act as majority of population and if you can't it is absolutely justified to mistreat you.

It is just precedent that gives indication how they could treat foreign protesters that come to protest during UN summit or some other international event hold in US. It isn't different from what lots of other countries do, but it is something that US has stand for long time, meaning that is an example of possible changes coming in next 4 years (leading to Trumps becoming beloved leader of US).
This person seems to have excellent ability to predict future (aka see the date)

Canadians traveling to Women's March denied US entry after sharing their plans
"The group was upfront about their plans with border agents, Dyck said. “We said we were going to the women’s march on Saturday and they said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to pull over’.”
What followed was a two-hour ordeal. Their cars were searched and their mobile phones examined. Each member of the group was fingerprinted and had their photo taken.
Border agents first told the two French citizens that they had been denied entry to the US and informed them that any future visit to the US would now require a visa."

Ideal length depends on what game focuses on and what kind mechanics it uses.
Open world exploration RPGs like Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series or Bioware's Dragon Age 3 you need much longer length as in those games focus in exploring world and finding content more than anything else. So in them play time tends to be much longer than in other games because of that exploration, but they are games that have very low replayability percent.
In action oriented story driven games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age 2 or Alpha Protocol ideal play time is much shorter, because in them focus is in story and player choices how to forward the story.
Hardest RPG genre to determine ideal playtime is what I call balanced RPGs like Baldur's Gates, Fallout 1&2, Dragon Age: Origins, Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2 and Divinity Original Sin. Because they have that time consuming exploration, character building, but they also have heavy focus on narrative and player choices. In such games focusing in one aspect over others usually makes game become dull.

Most decent priced wireless routers have firewall controls for inbound and outbound traffic and VPN support and parental controls etc. features
Like for example
If you need more advance firewall features then you probably need to look bit more expensive routers
Most USB - RJ45 adapters most likely work in your pc, but for safety it is wise to check that they have drivers for your OS.
Here is one example of such adapter

I think that simplest solution for you would be to go with Wireless router that has also LAN hub and USB to RJ45 adapter.

okay, people's rights. Russia is against homosexuality and don't give the LGBT community rights like other citizens.....
So how can we use that as an excuse for not being on friendly terms with Russia when Obama and USA is GREAT friends with Saudia Arabia?
Don't worry Turkey is part of Nato, and they also like systematically oppress their people. So you know how much freedom means for freedom army

Nonsense. It's always been like this. That has always been Russia's way.
Highly unlikely as the state doping was only implemented after the bad results of the Russian athletes after the Vancouver 2010 games and the ability of Russia to interfere in the IT infrastructure of countries is also a relatively new phenomena ....we have seen this the last 10-15 years maximum because hackers lacked the resources to implement the types of disruptions we sometimes see
It was today 27 years ago when PSInet launched their alternative for Internet's backbone that would grow to one of the networks that we today know as Internet. Meaning that we haven't had that long IT infrastructure that can be targeted by hackers.
