The California streaming services tax thread is like watching people become Republicans in real time
Hey man, they suck for trying to tax a streaming service.

Now that everyone has had nearly a month to ruminate a bit.....what's everyone feeling like these days?
Better? Worse?
What is everyone's realistic worst-case and best-case scenarios they can foresee at this point, overall, in terms of Trump's presidency for the next four years and what can happen and not happen?
Stop me if these kinds of questions are frowned upon. I am still depressed and these kinds of questions poised to PoliGAF help me cope somewhat....
Why should one exchange of goods and services not be taxed like any other exchange of goods and services?
Thats on of those The Good Ones Brand black folk.More evidence that Bannon is a racist, complete with Token Black Friend and Not Racist.

The tax man doesn't and shouldn't care that your internet is slow or why it's slow. It's an exchange. It should be taxed as any other exchange is.
Otherwise it gives streaming services an unfair advantage over competitors.
We're taxing (or not) based on what "feels bad" now? Isn't that how Trump and the GOP operate?
Yeah, I'm being snarky about their government and international influence, but it's a great place. My wife and I visited Toronto and the immediate region one year, and then the following year went on a trip from Toronto to the Gaspe Peninsula. We're actually looking at trying to emigrate there. Though we made just end-up in Sweden or Denmark, because we're British Citizens, and it'll be easier to emigrate to a European Union country. (Which reminds me - need to sort my Irish Passport. )
I think people rather have fiscal responsibility than new taxes on new shit.
However, this reminds me of when amazon was getting away with no tax everywhere. People probably should be taxed on this and eventually they will. But it should be everywhere and not California cities
Good on Harry. Planning on calling my senators tomorrow.Harry Reid stays winning. No fucks.
Netflix being untaxed is exactly like Amazon getting away with no tax. Cable and other systems are taxed.I think people rather have fiscal responsibility than new taxes on new shit.

You are completely missing the point.
We don't have the power, unilaterally, to decide that there won't be any violent action or conflict in the Trump administration. There are two parties who can choose to escalate to violence -- Dems/protestors, and Trump and his administration. So if you think Trump would inevitably win any violent confrontation, you should be more concerned about that.
The first sentence is called "fiscally conservative."
This sounds correct, as a property owner.Property owners are superior because reasons
Establishment hack is probably just setting himself up to run against our currently uncontested saviours Andrew Cuomo and Rahm Emanuel in 2020.Harry Reid stays winning. No fucks.
Obviously more in detail at the link.1) Call out lies as lies, not claims. In covering Trumps latest illegal-voting outburst, The Washington Post and the LA Times took the lead in clearly labeling the claim as false, rather than controversial or unsubstantiated.
2) Fighting for Reality Itself. I highly recommend this new essay by Ned Resnikoff at the Think Progress site. It explains the chaos-generating logic of Trumps seeming illogical stream of nonstop big and small lies, which Resnikoff traces to reality TV, to Breitbart and Steve Bannon, and to Vladimir Putins advisor Vladislav Surkov. It also lays out very different responsibilities for the press and public institutions from what they have assumed their duties to be.
3) Dealing with this kind of man.
It troubles me to observe that so far the news media are having trouble when they deal with him directly. I am seeing good investigative reporting on his conflicts of interest, for instance, but it looked like the NY Times just sort of rolled over when they interviewed him in person.
Nobody seems to realize that normal rules do not apply when you are interviewing a narcissist. You cant go about this in the way you were trained, because he is an expert at manipulating the very rules you learned. Its clear to me that reporters (and anyone else) who will deal with DT directly need to take a crash course in handling someone displaying these behaviors.

Lol, the author was quizzed on the headline on Twitter.More evidence that Bannon is a racist, complete with Token Black Friend and Not Racist.

The question is that if trump will get the same rural turnout as this election in 2020. He may not if the democrats pick someone pretty good and charismatic.
"White supremacy" to most people is wearing a white pointed hood, short of that they don't see it as such.Lol, the author was quizzed on the headline on Twitter.
He said he didn't write the headline.
Someone suggested a correction to "white supremacist."
He told them to show him evidence of this supposed white supremacy... when this is reported in his own story.

That was quick: Sen. @CatherineForNV has a leadership PAC: All For Our Country. That, tweeps, is the state motto. http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00629212/1126903/
Is this basically an "I'm going to run for President" thing?Following in Kamala's footsteps...
Yup.Is this basically an "I'm going to run for President" thing?
Cool. Seems like the optimal Democratic path to the presidency is "get elected to the Senate at a relatively young age and run for President two years into your term."Yup.
Something which I hope Warren is able to get through to Sanders on. He needs to not endorse and let the candidates fight it out. If his chosen candidate loses, there's a serious chance of 2016 Bernie Bro repetition.Cool. Seems like the optimal Democratic path to the presidency is "get elected to the Senate at a relatively young age and run for President two years into your term."
Priebus confirmed Trump wasnt being forthright with the Times, telling Wallace, As far as this issue on climate change  the only thing he [Trump] was saying after being asked a few questions about it is, look, hell have an open mind about it but he has his default position, which most of it is a bunch of bunk, but hell have an open mind and listen to people.
Well, you probably think Jindal is charismatic too.Dear Leader Sanders is coming there is no need to be upset

Some are too depressed to stay engaged in politics.
Others are wasting their time finding democrats to blame.
And then there are those of us who don't want to waste time licking our wounds and want to actually focus on doing what it takes to turn this around.

Cool. So what do we do?
You know exactly what to do. Vote. Tell other people to vote. Midterms and general elections.Cool. So what do we do?
Bernie is beating Trump to the punch with an outsourcing prevention bill:

Is this Bernie daring Trump to follow through with his campaign proposals?
When did Kamala put together a PAC?
Also, I kinda dislike the idea of Masto leaving her Senate seat for anything, especially so soon...that was not an easy seat to hold on to, and even with the full might of Reid's machine churning out droves of newly registered Hispanic voters and even with Trump at the top of the GOP ticket, the result was still fairly close.
