If you've ever been outside and met people you've probably come across a woman like this.

If you've ever been outside and met people you've probably come across a woman like this. I don't mean someone who's loud and verbally abusive, but someone who's in complete denial about their behavior and who projects their own issues onto others to make themselves appear more sympathetic. If you watch the video you can witness her screaming at everyone as she tries repeatedly to play the victim. And I guess, as I'm thinking about it now, you don't really need to go outside to find these people: they're all over social media, too. Originally shared by Brian Harrod VIDEO: Trump Voter Flips Out on Black Workers at Michaels A woman shopping at a Michaels arts and crafts store in Chicago went on a tirade against two black employees after she was offered a $1 reusable bag at checkout, yelling at workers and employees for over 10 minutes. The woman proclaimed herself a Donald Trump voter and said she was being racially discriminated against by a black store m

More troubles for the would-be president, but does anyone care? We all know the Republicans aren't going to call him out on it and the GSA will answer to him, so will be less likely to call the clause into question. Originally shared by Brian Harrod Trump Can't Keep Lease on His Hotel in D.C. Donald Trump's election as president means he can't lease Trump International Hotel from the government in Washington D.C. The lease on the government's historic Post Office Pavilion with Trump states, "No ... elected official of the Government of the United States ... shall be admitted to any share or part of this Lease, or to any benefit that may arise therefrom ..." LOL....Sounds like Ivanka just got herself a hotel. Steven L. Schooner and Daniel I. Gordon write for Government Executive, "The language could not be any more specific or clear. Donald Trump will breach the contract on Jan. 20, when, while continuing to benefit from the lease, he will become an &#

I use the generic Google app on my Android In the past I've used the Samsung app that cane preinstalled on my Samsung device and the calendar app that came preinstalled on my current device. Google Calendar's UX and design leaves something to be desired. But, I could say that about most of Google's offerings. Sometimes you just have to wonder who thought that was a great idea. http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/30/13777210/best-calendar-app-for-android

On those days when I can, when I wake up early enough and when the weather is cooler, I like to get Rufus out in the mornings and go for a long walk - just the two of us. This morning was one of those days. In the mid-30s and a wake up time about an hour earlier than necessary, I pulled on my walking shoes and grabbed the leash before stepping out the door with Rufus. The walk we went on is somewhere around 3.5 miles, crossing many streets and one state highway before entering a state park. On our return, where we had just over a mile to return home, we stood at the crosswalk waiting for eight lanes of traffic and the “Walk” signal before proceeding. As I stood there I noticed an elderly Asian woman standing not too far off, beneath a bus stop sign. A bus stop, I might add, that is so rarely used I didn’t even realize the stop was there and I’ve walked or driven past that point almost daily for years. As Rufus and I waited for the light the woman called out, “Excuse me, sir. Do you kno

Twelve-thirty at night and the neighbors were so loud they woke me up.

Twelve-thirty at night and the neighbors were so loud they woke me up. I heard screaming, yelling, giggling, cries of "No! Stop! STOP!" in various iterations. That's when I decided to pull in some slippers and a sweatshirt to go see what was happening, fully expecting to see a fight or something in the common areas (I live in a condo). What I did see was some neighbors who were being far too loud. So, I asked them, "Hey guys, it's 12:30. Can we turn the volume down a bit?" Through various incarnations of, "Huh?", " What?", and "Go home, old man,"; as well as inquiries about my occupation (because, apparently my occupation matters regarding how loud they're being) they finally agreed to go inside. To which I had to remind them, "you're in a condo. You have neighbors below you, next to you on two sides and within thirty feet of you in every direction. Be aware of that." And the guy tried to turn it into a racial

You may be, or at least may know, people who posted these sorts of pro-Trump/anti-Clinton propaganda pieces managed by the Russian propaganda machine. Originally shared by David Brin The part of electoral cheating that is proved — Russian disinformation and propaganda. Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery — including thousands of botnets, teams of paid human “trolls,” and networks of websites and social-media accounts — spread misleading articles online with the goal of punishing Democrat Hillary Clinton, helping Republican Donald Trump and undermining faith in American democracy, say independent researchers who tracked the operation. “Two teams of independent researchers found that the Russians exploited American-made technology platforms to attack U.S. democracy at a particularly vulnerable moment.” And mind you, our intelligence services are even more keenly aware of this putsch. So, when President Trump orders them to investigate no further, what kind of a quan

Excellent read on the Electoral College and what it means to be a democracy.

Excellent read on the Electoral College and what it means to be a democracy. (Protip: we're not a democracy, the USA is a republic ) Originally shared by Edward Morbius "The Electoral College Was Meant to Stop Men Like Trump From Being President" If it’s so unlikely that the electors would defeat Trump, why is the topic even worth discussing? Because, given Trump’s likely ascension to the presidency, Americans must talk differently about democracy itself. Yes, the democratic features of America’s political system are precious. But so are some of the undemocratic ones, the ones that prevent people’s basic rights from being taken from them by a show of hands. Right now, the nature of American public discourse—which treats democracy as an unambiguous good—makes that difficult to say. Rarely do Americans publicly acknowledge the tradeoff between democracy and liberty, between popular will and minority rights, which so concerned the framers. If Trump threatens the rights of Mu

A long read, but nevertheless an excellent one. If you have the time I highly encourage you to give this a gander. via Sarah Rios​ Originally shared by Andy Dillon I've known this all along. Obama is a better person than I am. He's a better person than most. And if you didn't know it already, you may, after reading this entire article. I will endeavor to repeatedly repeat his message to myself, in the hope that it will have a beneficial outcome when I speak to the Trump voters that surround me. “Societies and cultures are really complicated. . . . This is not mathematics; this is biology and chemistry. These are living organisms, and it’s messy. And your job as a citizen and as a decent human being is to constantly affirm and lift up and fight for treating people with kindness and respect and understanding. And you should anticipate that at any given moment there’s going to be flare-ups of bigotry that you may have to confront, or may be inside you and you have to vanquish.

This something we learned in college.

This something we learned in college. The war on drugs? Yes, it was a defacto war on the Left and African American communities. No, that's not just a claim of pro-drug conspiracy theorists. Originally shared by Kevin C. (KevinC) Picked up from a friend. I felt it deserved a larger audience. We're still paying the price years later. "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities, We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." -John Ehrlichman Chief Domestic Advisor under President Nix

For the record, and I checked, Costco does not allow #opencarry in their warehouses.

For the record, and I checked, Costco does not allow #opencarry in their warehouses. Colorado is an open carry state and, as a gun owner, I'm okay with such policies. However, I believe anyone actively openly carrying is just looking for attention or for an excuse to draw. Especially in a store. To my right sat a Muslim family. The father was keeping a wary eye on this man while trying to simultaneously play with his children and talk with his wife. I also kept an eye on this man as this is a #TrumpNation now and I fully expected him to start mouthing off at the family. So, I sat there until he left - just in case. Costco suggests, if you see anyone open carrying in their stores, to find a manager and let them know. WalMart, on the other hand, has a policy to follow local ordinances.

When people ask me if they can trust the "cloud" my answer is always s resounding No ! For example, a friend of mine, a really nice guy I met here on the Ploos and had the pleasure of hanging out with in real life on a couple of occasions, runs a website management company. He bought a Chromebook for it's simplicity in managing his business. All of his actions, content, photos, etc. were managed from his one Google account. One day, without explaining themselves, Google sent him a violation of it's ToS to him and shut down his account crippling his ability to communicate with clients, manage his content or use and feature where that Gmail account was set up as the primary PoC, such as his Android device. He lost his entire digital presence for some unknown ToS violation. Like the people in this article he wasn't even given the ability to Takeout his data, either. Can you trust the cloud? Do you trust that one day you won't be found to be in violation of ToS? C

The last third of this article is the most important.

The last third of this article is the most important. As long as the #POO (Party of Obstruction) has no problem with violating the norms of respectful politicking then the Left will always be outgunned. And that’s the real point. Republicans have absolutely no problem breaking any norm in their path to power. They turned the filibuster from a seldom-used tool to a routine exercise. Tom DeLay saw advantage in doing a second redistricting in Texas in 2003 to pick up extra GOP seats, even though states normally redistrict every 10 years; he succeeded. Congress typically passes the debt limit without comment, but Republicans took the country to the brink of its first default, extracting concessions in the process. A minority of the Senate prevented the confirmation for years of any director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau simply because they didn’t like the agency. The opposition party would never attempt to conduct foreign policy that differed from the president’s, until Repub
