Redirecting attention to an opponent who a lot of your supporters hate, classic autocrat move. 

...and yet they provided no real source for the claim that monitoring of the server was "unlawful".  Brietbart is as much a garbage publication as the National Inquirer (a Trump fav BTW).
 
Just stop until you can provide a real source.
 

Already did... follow the source...
 
It ends up here:  https://heatst.com/world/exclusive-fbi-granted-fisa-warrant-covering-trump-camps-ties-to-russia/
 
Your claim is based on a Brietbart opinion... a.k.a.:  FAKE NEWS. 
 
The claim according to Breitbart, the link leads to the heatst article:
 
4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.

If by people, you mean you... then yes.  You may not know what to believe anymore... but you sure as heck know what you want to believe and will propagate pure garbage to that end.  You even lie if it suits your argument.  You should stop it one of these days.
 
That "evidence" will never arrive because it does not exist. 

That's nice.  So you will stop posting garbage then.  Good to hear.
 

There is no need to "denounce" this incident as violence should be commonly understood to be wrong.  See, the republicans pick and choose what violence is acceptable, whereas relatively intelligent people (mostly on the left) know that any violence against another is in essence:  wrong.
 
The speaker was not allowed to speak to protect his safety.  This was determined by the local security forces.  So you can go complain that the police on hand were obstructing "free speech" by potentially saving Miko's life.  Good luck.
 
Republican's have little good going on.  There is not much to report on.
 
Geezus.  The left speaks in half-truths and sometimes no truth?  Half truths by way of omission is very prominent due to financial ties networks have.  Major news outlets don't commonly outright lie.  The closest you get to perpetual deception would be FOX's main channel.
 
If you want outright lying in the media, look no further.  That idiot disguised as a president is a major source for lying to the public.  Who is his this Bannon guy again?
 
Calling these violent individuals protestors is not a lie.  Does calling them thugs change anything?  Violence is still violence regardless what you name the perps.
 
Let's go back a bit.  There was a family by the name of Bundy that wanted to avoid paying fees for having their cows graze on federal land.  Eventually right-wing "thugs" decided it would be a great idea to stand up for their right to break the law.  They armed themselves, threatened law enforcement and even took over a federal building by force. 
 
Where was the Alt-Right condemning these actions?  Oh wait.... they were cheering them on.  Those guys did not even get convicted.  They walked out of the courthouse.
 
...but all he had to do was say the words:  Radical extreme terrorism... or Fundamentalist Muslim Extremist... or Radical Islamist... stupid Obama, causing thousands upon thousands of innocent deaths when all he had to do was to say a few words.

First off, it's worth noting that the term HTPC was first coined at the end of the 90s, far back enough that even the humble DVD player was relatively new to the market. It's easy now to look at today's streaming boxes and wonder what the fuss is about, but at the very least, it ignores the decade or so preceding all of the gear we now take for granted.
 
The hardcore fans of the HTPC will tell you that a gaming PC plugged into a television is exactly that. It's a PC with a big monitor. Some of the things that define what you might deem a "true" HTPC is that it's as easy to use as a set-top box (i.e. decent remote control / IR receiver on the case / TV-friendly GUI), that it would fit in aesthetically with typical A/V equipment, but with the functionality and power of a PC + any extras you might want. If you go back 15 years (and much of this remains true today), and you want to watch a DVD, play a video game, record live terrestrial / cable / satellite (w/ pause-rewind etc), play back your own ripped films and CDs from fast HDD storage etc, then you could easily need four or five boxes for all the different functions of a single well-equipped HTPC.
 
My plasma TV has lost nearly all of it's smart functionality - after 4 years, most of the support was dropped for the streaming channels. The Roku that I now use is a brilliant piece of kit that is easily worth the price, but an HTPC it isn't.
 
 

$10 says this is now the thread where HughMungusCynicalAnarch rages out about how gun news is not considered tech news geeks!  $5 bonus if he takes the 'True Geeks would think it's tech news' angle!

"Whodathunk???"

It's just as great to see how 100 or so misguided idiots somehow constitutes "the democrats". The number of arrests represents 0.00000136% of the democrat population (assuming they all voted).

You probably have worms. Ask to speak to a Veterinarian.

That's a massive over-simplification of the issues (that would be) faced by both countries. Buying cheaper drugs from another country with only makes the issue even more complex, but it won't help to fix anything in the long term. For example, the deregulated (i.e. expensive) system in the US has a few positive side-effects (pun alert!), such as generating cash that is poured back into research for future generations of treatments that will ultimately be brought to the market. We're talking approx $3billion in current money by the time a treatment is ready for the global market. Canada directly benefits from US research and development, without ever contributing to it financially due mostly to it's strict price control laws.
 
And sure, feel free to buy your medicine from whoever is selling it cheaper, but don't complain when you find that your baking powder tablets don't turn out to be as effective as the real thing, or future treatments don't appear on the market as readily as they used to.

You probably have worms. Ask to speak to a Veterinarian.

Jesus.
 
You do realise that I could call the police now and have you arrested for saying this shit? Like it's racist, extreme and disgusting that there are people that actually believe this. 
 
Yada, yada, yada.
 
You make me sick.

Oh dear. *deep breath* I'm probably wasting my time here, but -
 
More than 87% of the UK population is "White British". The failure of the NHS, the economy and the lack of housing was primarily the fault of a late 70s early / 80s Tory government (and more recently Labour) that has systematically sold off council housing, failed to correctly fund and support the NHS, and has allowed the majority of modern infrastructure and investment to be centered in and around London - all to the determent of the entire north of England (and the rest of the UK). The white man is clearly to blame for the failing of the UK, and England along with it. The sooner you realise that, the sooner you'll be able to act on it accordingly and stop blaming people based on skin pigmentation.
 
The important word in your quote there is "pride". You group it in among tangible notions of health and economy, as if to somehow make it a similarly quantifiable issue. Pride. Loss of Empire. Descent in to mediocrity. Much of which is understandable up to a point, and yet the "poor white sidelined western male" routine is just excruciating.
 
"According to the Office for National Statistics, there were approximately 64.6 million people living in the UK in mid-2014. Of these, 56.2 million (87.2 per cent) were White British."

Also, you seem quite happy to talk about whites in the USA "building the entire nation from scratch" without so much as a hint of irony. So, no slavery? At all? In the UK or USA? Either you're a master of satire, or master of your own delusion.

Only the importing of slaves was made illegal in 1808, but the domestic slave trade combined with illegal import grew continually up until it was formally abolished in 1865. There were in fact 3.9 million slaves as of 1860. African-Americans have been free citizens in the USA for less time than they were enslaved. Either way, quoting dates doesn't change the big picture here. Historical events do not happen in a vacuum, so to say that the USA "as it is now" as if a separate entity is misleading. Many of the early industrial-era investments came from the agricultural profits of wealthy land (and slave) owners.
 
You were the one that brought up the issue of reperation. Surely it's important to continue talking about historical slavery as and when it's contextually correct to do so? Otherwise you just appear to be shying away from it.

It is not like that.  It is the way he assumes quoting scripture is always the way to validate the belief.  He is moving away from the personal journey that he should have available to him and tries to force the convictions of his religious interpretation onto people (like myself) that won't buy it in any way.
 
He goes as far as to highlight "what Jesus said" in red as if to say that is relevant to some discussion with me.  I don't gives a rat's patooty what "jesus said".  He should be able to realize that.
 
Some Christian churches are pretty horrible and produce some really disconnected people, not saying he is one of them... just that the rhetoric is far removed from reality; a deep nonsensical spiral into the cold nothingness of being needlessly wrong.
 
Alas, aren't we all wrong from time to time?.. but that is another discussion. 

No: 
 
1.- I have no logical reason to. 
2.- I have no sentimental need to. 
3.- I actually believe organized religions to be harmful for society: In this sense I am an antithesit, I respect people's right to believe what they want but advocate for 100% Secular governments without exception.
