Chasing a buck is not a crime. If your government places specific sanctions to represent disapproval of a country then it can be. Ultimately there are people that care enough to remember these comedians transgressions and remind the world as appropriate. Chase a buck if you want but every action someone takes can have unforseen consequences. Time will tell.

I understand people all too well. My belief is everyone is justified in their approach to life by either genetics or experience and should be free to express and act on these within the confines of the law. But I also believe that to disguise our opposition to some beliefs and to not call out something as "stupid", which is a very general term that can be ascribed to a variety of demographics, is wrong. I believe in peoples right to free speech, but question the freedom to lie (what is a lie?). I admire and support the efforts to empathize with all people but I also recognize that if those efforts leads to the loss of the battle for freedom and equality then it must be treated as a secondary consideration.

Sorry about that. I'm getting way too angry at how stupid people are.

The excuse that any system that creates jobs should be kept alive for that reason is ridiculous. What is your response the the AI and robotics industry that continues to eliminate jobs until there are none left? How will our "system" handle that?

I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I do look at as many angles as I can think of. This seems like a perfect opportunity to settle out of court and thus funnel millions of tax dollars to a militia that will serve trump to the end.

I think it's quite simple, really. In the absence of truth comes speculation. It's not important who the "they" is and is irrelevant to the topic being challenged. What is important is to find a path to truth that can regain the public's trust. "Extreme" transparency will now be required in order to regain that trust. As always the pendulum swings to great lengths and effectiveness.

Great article. The pundits that are "confused" about why all this is happening need to read this. Thanks for posting.

Someone was favouring extra expensive contracts with private medical contractors.

That's just trump trying to swing the vote toward pp. It's so obvious I think/hope the only people stupid enough to fall for it are the ones who already vote conservative.

I cannot profess to knowing that which I did not read, per say. Lol
