lol... so are Democratic politicians. I don't see any of them turning down their salaries or pay raises or cushy retirement benefits with the best healthcare taxpayer dollars can buy.
None of this changes the fact that Animal Farm was terrifying.
Why on earth would you label it as a Dark Comedy?
Do Right, Be Right. :)

6ixStringJack, the USA imploded several times. The most famous occasion was the Civil War, where ultra-liberals were opposed to the perfectly biblical, time-tested for thousands of years, economically important institution of slavery.
The Freedom-Loving Republicans fought against Slavery, and against the Freedom-Hating Democraps who demanded Slavery be spread.
Easy to understand how you cannot see through the fog of your Delusion when confronted with Reality and Fact.

Quote:6ixStringJack, are you afraid of the pigs in Animal Farm? Old Major, the pig in Animal Farm, is Karl Marx. Snowball the pig is Trotsky. Napoleon the pig is Stalin. Squealer the pig is Molotov.

Orwell described the source of the idea of setting the book on a farm: I saw a little boy, perhaps ten years old, driving a huge carthorse along a narrow path, whipping it whenever it tried to turn. It struck me that if only such animals became aware of their strength we should have no power over them, and that men exploit animals in much the same way as the rich exploit the lower classes. 6ixStringJack is lower class. Is he afraid of being beaten like the gullible carthorse in Animal House, then sent to the slaughter house by Napoleon who fooled the other animals into believing that he is getting sent to the hospital? Is that why "Animal Farm was terrifying"?

“I Hacked An Election. So Can The Russians.”
Alex Halderman lays out the case for an audited paper trail — for what the world’s cybersecurity experts have been unanimously flailing their arms about for two decades — in terms so simple and vivid that even Congress should be able to understand them.

The Republicans’ $1.5 trillion tax cut will increase the federal debt by $1.9 trillion.
This comes from Table B-3 in the Congressional Budget Office report, page 129, so far in the back that no one reads it. The exact figure is $1.854 trillion from 2018 to 2028. That number was promised by Trump to be zero dollars or even a negative number.
www.cbo.gov/publication/53651
In other words, the tax cut doesn’t pay for itself. It doesn’t even partially pay for itself.

I've been saying this since the early to mid 2000's. Sans the "Russia!" stuff.
Sure. Russia could probably hack it. So could anybody else. And I mean anybody.
You don't have to look half a globe away for bad people. As you often point out in this forum, Second, there are plenty of people with bad intentions right here with us.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:One of those "people with bad intentions" is Trump. I would write it in all capital letters, but that makes it harder to read. Imagine me pointing a shotgun at Trump and screaming so loudly that my spit is flying everywhere. Now that you got that picture, I say: Trump, if you don't propose legislation that makes it illegal for states to use machines in Federal elections from a list of hack-able electronic voting machines, I am knee-capping you. Do you prefer left knee or right? Depends on your golf swing. Trump won't sponsor any legislation because that will call into question his victory in 2016. He is a person "with bad intentions".

Yesterday, Trump spent the afternoon watching TV about his lawyer's law office being raided by the FBI. I cannot make Trump do any work when he is at work, even if I had a shotgun. What I really need is the remote control on his TV. No TV for Trump until after work ought to be a law.

Sure. Trump could very well be one of those people with bad intentions with the electronic voting machines. I would NEVER argue that with you.
That being said. I encourage you to make threats like that to anybody in power and see where it gets you.
I've got your back........ waaaaaaaaaaaay back.
But seriously, I agree something should be done about this. We SHOULD go back to a paper system. There is ZERO reason to trust the machine based system because ANYBODY can tamper with those machines and then there is no paper trail to verify the results by. This ABSOLUTELY includes people already installed in our own government.
I'm not saying that Russia couldn't have hacked them, but it would be traceable if they did, and using Occams Razor it seems pretty far fetched when it's much more plausible that if there was any manipulation it was internal.
