Quasar, if you don't know, is a man who is bestowed with alien wristbands that allow him power similar to a Green Lantern.

#DonaldTrump's administration is denying citizenship to people born along the Mexico-USA border claiming some of the birth certificates were fraudulent. One would think the government would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that these people were given false birth documents rather than blanket citizenship revocations. But under President Trump, the passport denials and revocations appear to be surging, becoming part of a broader interrogation into the citizenship of people who have lived, voted and worked in the United States for their entire lives. In #TrumpNation no one is an American, documents or not.

So ... I left home on the bike, stopped somewhere for a couple of hours, left there and grabbed a a bite to eat, then headed to a movie screening. While sitting in traffic the bike died. Just died. No symptoms, no nothing. I walk it to a nearby parking lot and check the battery. Everything seems kosher. No loose wires or anything. Next, I check the wiring to the stator. They all seem a-okay. A guy stops, says he used to have a SV650. We chat and I ask if he has jumper cables. He does. So I push the SV over to his Honda CR-V and we hook the cables up. The bike tries to turn over. Okay, so definitely a power issue. He turns on his car and the bike turns over immediately. Cool. I leave it running while I put the plastics back on and everything is good. I pull my jacket and backpack on, the helmet and then the gloves. As soon as I throw a leg over the bike it dies. Not a losing power/sputtering kind of died, it just dies. It makes no sense. So, now I'm roughly 40 miles from home with

This is a great - if terrifying - article showing what I've said dozens of times: the Right has been waging a systematic war with what made the USA great in the first place. It started in the 70s as they began tearing apart the very foundations of liberalism and capitalism that saw this nation shoot to greatness after WWII. You really should read the entire thing, but here are some excerpts of interest: Suppressing voting, changing legislative processes so that a normal majority could no longer prevail, sowing public distrust of government institutions— all these were tactics toward the goal. But the Holy Grail was the Constitution: alter it and you could increase and secure the power of the wealthy in a way that no politician could ever challenge. <> At the 1997 fiftieth anniversary of the Mont Pelerin Society, MacLean recounts that Buchanan and his associate Henry Manne, a founding theorist of libertarian economic approaches to law, focused on such affronts to capitalists

In #TrumpNation, if you don't like the press you're getting it must be the press's fault. Or social media's. Or Google's. Wherever the fault lay, it most certainly is not, and cannot, be laid at your own feet, surrounded by your own actions. After attacking the press for years, #DonaldTrump, and other conservatives, have most recently been attacking social media outlets suck as Facebook and Twitter, for promoting "liberally biased" content over their own preferred content. Now that barometer seems to have adjusted even further afield, from news, to social media and now to search itself. Does anyone remember when conservatives were the defenders of Constitutional protections and the free market? Now it seems like they've abandoned their core beliefs as they see how a (supposedly) free market actually doesn't prefer their ideology. Why "supposedly"? Simple: there's no such thing as a truly free market. Originally shared by Olaf Fichtner

About a month ago my device's power button stopped working. At first it would occasionally work, but as time passed it began working less and less often to where it's now fairly useless. I've been very concerned with the device losing power (battery) as I haven't had a method to turn it on should it go deed. I've scoured Blackberry forums (yes, Blackberry) and countless other options such as apps that "move" the power button to another physical button. Today I found this (link) and hope, should it ever be needed, this method will work. Hold down the volume down key and connect your phone via USB cable to your PC. Keep the volume button held down until you see a boot menu. Select the ‘Start’ option using your volume keys, and your phone will power on. Of course, I'm terrified to test the method ... what if my device doesn't start? https://www.addictivetips.com/android/turn-on-an-android-phone-with-a-broken-power-button/

History is full of amazing people we just never have a chance to hear about as it only idolizes pre-approved men. Born around 1673, d’Aubigny was taught fencing by her father, an assistant to the Count d’Armagnac. As a teenager, she was married off to a pretty boring guy who bestowed her with one of her famous names: Maupin. Predictably, d’Aubigny, who was having an affair with d’Armagnac, didn’t stick around. Instead, she found a fencing expert, known as Séranne, and ran away with him. The couple traveled the countryside, showing off their fencing skills to the public. When an audience member questioned her gender — she was just too good at sword-fighting to be a woman, you see — d’Aubigny ripped off her shirt in front of him. https://www.ozy.com/flashback/the-badass-rogue-who-cross-dressed-and-dueled-her-way-to-infamy/76908

It's a little hard to fault the logic in this tweet.

Just a reminder that history is more than you think it is. For example did you know the US government tried replacing Mexican agricultural workers in the 1960s? The program quickly failed as the white highschoolers quit when they realized the farmers were stealing their money. Originally shared by Chris Kim A The year was 1965. On Cinco de Mayo, newspapers across the country reported that Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz wanted to recruit 20,000 high schoolers to replace the hundreds of thousands of Mexican agricultural workers who had labored in the United States under the so-called Bracero Program. Started in World War II, the program was an agreement between the American and Mexican governments that brought Mexican men to pick harvests across the U.S. It ended in 1964, after years of accusations by civil rights activists like Cesar Chavez that migrants suffered wage theft and terrible working and living conditions. But farmers complained — in words that echo today's headlines

Spreading the word because I think we all need to understand #TrumpNation a little better: The answer may lie in how Trump and his supporters define corruption. In a forthcoming book titled How Fascism Works , the Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley makes an intriguing claim. “Corruption, to the fascist politician,” he suggests, “is really about the corruption of purity rather than of the law. Officially, the fascist politician’s denunciations of corruption sound like a denunciation of political corruption. But such talk is intended to evoke corruption in the sense of the usurpation of the traditional order.” Read that again: corruption of purity . It can also be read as corruption of traditional values or corruption of my values . Which makes sense when you look at the long run. The #GOP has been haranguing the Left with charges stemming from civil, not criminal, actions for decades. Bill Clinton wasn't investigated for any wrong-doing, it was for having an extra-marital aff

#VerizonSucks Even if Verizon's throttling didn't technically violate the no-throttling rule, Santa Clara could have complained to the FCC under the now-removed net neutrality system, which allowed Internet users to file complaints about any unjust or unreasonable prices and practices.

#DonaldTrump is (probably) screwed. Also newsworthy is the fact that last week the special master in the case finished her review of the documents seized from Cohen’s office and determined that almost none of the documents are protected by attorney-client privilege.

This isn't a "Suzuki" problem, but more a "corporate" problem. Companies from across the corporate spectrum are spending far too much time re-hashing old ideas than putting any money into R&D.

Or the modern television that, no matter which manufacturer you buy, all looks the same.

Sadly, as many things in Florida, Gov. Rick Scott kept cutting the budget to prisons without cutting the amount of prisoners. These guys, often bored and with out the counseling they need, turn to drugs and, in some cases, die.

He used to perform cell searches and write incident reports about all of the contraband he would find.

Telecoms just want their cake and eat it too. After decrying Obama-era rules regulating ISPs like utilities, the telecoms now want to be treated like utilities in that they want taxpayer funds to build out their networks instead of "letting the market take care of it." For his part, FCC chair Ajit Pai has repeatedly cut away low-income subsidies for broadband while promising that the free market would provide. Now, the “free market” wants to provide, with our money, and then not be regulated in how they take that money—including, according to Arstechnica, how much they can charge areas that we subsidize the infrastructure for. Originally shared by Linda Lawrey Well, guess who’s telling everybody that they should be treated like a “common utility” now, and asking for taxpayer money to do the things they promised they would be able to do without net neutrality regulations?

I have a friend who was with a girl for about ... 15 years. They met when she was seventeen and he was 20 and were together (off and on, but more on than off) up until just a few years ago. They lived together for about 10 of those years and I can clearly remember when he said something along the lines of, "If I'm going to stay with her I need to marry her.

They'd break up now and again, but it only lasted weeks or maybe a couple of months before they were together again. I never saw in her what he saw, but then again, we like different types of women.

This is important. Pay attention. _August 16, 2018 STATEMENT FROM FORMER SENIOR INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS As former senior intelligence officials, we feel compelled to respond in the wake of the ill-considered and unprecedented remarks and actions by the White House regarding the removal of John Brennan’s security clearances. We know John to be an enormously talented, capable, and patriotic individual who devoted his adult life to the service of this nation. Insinuations and allegations of wrongdoing on the part of Brennan while in office are baseless. Since leaving government service John has chosen to speak out sharply regarding what he sees as threats to our national security. Some of the undersigned have done so as well. Others among us have elected to take a different course and be more circumspect in our public pronouncements. Regardless, we all agree that the president’s action regarding John Brennan and the threats of similar action against other former officials has nothing to do

Update: After the White House first released the memorandum revoking the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan—a frequent and scathing critic of Trump and his regime—with a date of Thursday 26 July, they retracted it and re-published it — now undated. Trump set off a furor about his musing whether to cancel the clearances of Brennan and other high-level regime critics on Monday, 23 July. (See The New York Times article from the paper on Tuesday the 24th, linked below.) The news cycle about this proposed action—which would have been unprecedented—had died down by Wednesday, when Trump's fixer Michael Cohen released a surreptitio

Just to be clear, the threats didn't come because she made a decision they didn't like, the threats came because these people, shall we call them #TrumpNation?, hate Islam that much. _Backus has received more than 200 threats, according to Barry Massey, a spokesman for New Mexico Courts. Callers have threatened physical violence against Backus, including some people who threatened to slit Backus' throat and smash her head, Massey said. People also lashed out on social media and also threatened court staff, Massey said. Most callers have criticized the judge and the decision and called her names, such as "an Islamic terrorist sympathizer" or "disgusting garbage human," Massey said._ https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/14/us/new-mexico-child-abuse-suspects-judge-threats/index.html

We all knew Daredevil was returning to the small screen (unless you make a lot more money than I do, then it's the large screen) and now we have rumors about how that third season will play out. Personally, I like the Daredevil Netflix show. It's what Arrow could have been if the The CW hadn't been such pansies. https://www.cbr.com/daredevil-season-3-truth-theories/

In #TrumpNation the #Republican party is lost to #DonaldTrump and the people he encouraged to come out of the shadows. The good news is we now know who they are. The bad news ... they're running for office and defeating their traditional #GOP counterparts. #SteveWest http://deadstate.org/antisemitic-conspiracy-theorist-wins-gop-state-primary/

You too can show Twitter you're not happy with their decision to give Alex Jones a platform. https://twitter.com/shannoncoulter/status/1028632688586936320 By clicking a custom link ( https://blocktogether.org/show-blocks/Jegy0TDm2gypbK-Tg1vGTh5KCJY2mxq_6iJ_hK2p ) Coulter’s done all the hard work for you and promises to continue doing it until Jones is banned. The call to action asks Twitter users to click the link, smash the button that says “Block All and Subscribe” and then click the blue “Authorize App” section.

The below "meme" is especially poignant as I just read an article about the so-called "Imposter Syndrome", usually described as a very capable person who never thinks they're good enough. In full disclosure, I think I suffer from this.

#TrumpNation rears it's ugly head against a 12 year old girl. These are parents and hopefully the local police and FBI find something to charge them with. One can only guess what the teachers and school staff were thinking. Then the threats began on a private parents’ Facebook group for the school. The parents called Maddie “it” and “thing”, suggested that her genitalia be mutilated to make her female (“a good sharp knife will do the job real quick”). One said it was “hunting season on them kind” and said there was “no bag limit.” Originally shared by Lee Grupsmith-Pedersen "I should be shocked at the capacity for cruelty have towards one another, but I'm not." http://www.towleroad.com/2018/08/hunting-season/

#DonaldTrump has riled up his base, convinced them to chant "build the wall" and excited them with the prospect of sending asylum seekers back to where they came from where they will more than likely face torture, imprisonment, murder or worse. Our nation's economy is, or will be, taking a hit due to these practices as farms and factories are left bare of workers and production slows and stops. It also hurts the promise of the American Dream as even war veterans are torn from their families' home and sent to countries they don't know or understand; as adopted children are forbidden citizenship and millions of immigrants, legal or not, wonder who's next. A similar worry that crossed the minds of Jewish people living in 1930s Germany. Today, at 30, Joseph lives in Pennsylvania and has a wife and child. He is a smart, warm, humble man of great character who is grateful for every day of his freedom and safety. He bears emotional scars from not seeing his parents

Non-governmental civilians are defacto running the VA in #TrumpNation. Why? Because they're golfing buddies of the president, of course. If the bureaucracy resists the trio’s wishes, Perlmutter has a powerful ally: The President of the United States. Trump and Perlmutter regularly talk on the phone and dine together when the president visits Mar-a-Lago. “On any veterans issue, the first person the president calls is Ike,” another former official said. Former administration officials say that VA leaders who were at odds with the Mar-a-Lago crowd were pushed out or passed over. #DonaldTrump Originally shared by Linda Lawrey Trump administration unveils a new populist initiative: Let them eat asbestos. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a22675157/veterans-administration-mar-a-lago-donald-trump-asbestos/

The ultimately irony would be if she released them to Wikileaks. In #TrumpNation you can't trust anyone.

Wow. To what depths will #Republicans not sink in #TrumpNation? A Florida candidate creates a false diploma to prove she's more educated than she is.

What motivates the alt-Right ? Is it economic standing, dislike of liberalism or any of a gazillion other things that #DonaldTrump has awakened in them? Or is it something much more simple? Say, the loss of perceived privilege or standing? But it goes deeper than that. The survey revealed that the alt-righters were much more concerned that their groups were at a disadvantage compared with the control sample. The alt-right (and white nationalists) is afraid of being displaced by increasing numbers of immigrants and outsiders in this country. And, yes, they see themselves as potential victims. #TrumpNation, home of the disenfranchised racists. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/8/15/16144070/psychology-alt-right-unite-the-right
