Mr. Trump said in the NBC interview that “regardless of recommendation I was going to fire Comey.”

“In fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story,” Mr. Trump said.




plained's hero. now i fully understand why.

In that interview he was admitting to his state of mind, which was to obstruct justice, which is an impeachable offense. Too bad the Republicans control the House and Senate.

Maybe I'm being a little thick here, but I always thought (assumed) Pepe was a tongue in cheek meme and not necessarily a symbol for hatred and racism wielded by alt right?

Yeah, for someone who's supposed to be intelligent, Cory Doctorow can be stupidly hyperbolic.
Personally, I think the dude's reputation is based mostly on self-promotion, and he can be a snippy little bitch. But he gets props from lots of people I do have time for. Plus the Guardian keep letting him write articles about DRM and copyright, which to be fair is a subject where he does have a lot of interesting things to say.

Dude, you need to stay the fuck off of Reddit and 4chan. You've gone native.

worth mentioning though that Plato was not a fan of democracy

also worth mentioning he thought the people should be ruled by an 'enlightened' elite. sound familiar?

Actually he thought people should be ruled by a philosopher king whose chief qualities would be wisdom and benevolence and would be someone who lived a modest life.

[seremtan]

correct. i was extrapolating somewhat. and plato is using his claim about tyrants arising from democracy to discredit democracy as an idea, not to defend it against a potential threat

not sure lawrence krauss was alert to that
