- The Governor isn't on the investigative team, no matter how close in communication he is with said team.
And? The team answers to him. They work for him. No one, literally no one, is more authoritative. You are cherry picking authority to meet your goals. You say you want authority, but then when someone is MORE authoritative than the person you pick, you come up with a new requirement. First you wanted the police, but it was the police's own authority that stated the situation. So you changed to the courts, but they don't apply. Now you are picking investigators.
You are moving your definition of authority because you are starting with the answer you want, and trying to find any one that "feels" like an authority figure that hasn't disagreed with your desired answer and you move the goal posts until you find something that matches what you want the answer to be.
Bottom line... there is no definitive authority on forensics, ever. All forensic situations are grey areas of "suspected". At some point we have to accept that either we will never know enough to be comfortable or at some point there is adequate knowledge to accept that we "know" but nothing, NOTHING is every 100% certain.
Once the governor has stated something, there is nothing, NOTHING in the government that is more authoritative. You must now, with no exception, either accept that the government processes will never be enough for you (whcih is totally fine, I agree we can't trust the government) or you must accept that as much authority as there can ever be as been provided within your context of authority.
That's where we are. It's as far as it goes in your system.

The only thing we at the moment know for a fact that this dead guy is guilty of is running from the police and then his car blew up killing him inside of it.
We don't even know that, we have to trust in the "authority" to declare this from the police or governor or media - all the same institutions you are now claiming have no authority to determine if that is true. Under your logic, we can't know even this until a court finds him guilty of it, something unlikely to ever happen as there is no point is legally pursuing something liek this on a dead guy.
I need your address, I want to ship you a
The funny thing is that you and you alone feel that the governor isn't enough and that we can't trust what he has determined and you think I need a tinfoil hat for having pointed out that you dont' trust anyone?
I'm the one who trusted the governor and the media that something pretty obvious is something that they knew enough about.
The term "tin foil hat" refers to NOT trusting the government, not to trusting them.

From the description given by Zuckerberg, Facebook users appear to have been socially engineered to steal the data of non-users by Alksandr Kogan a professor hired by Cambridge Analytica to "hack" users for them in violation of Facebook ToS. Then Facebook caught them and got CA and the hacker to certify that the data had been destroyed, but instead the team took the illicit data and used it to run several political campaigns.

That is the way i read it. They first sold it to the Ted Cruz campaign, then he fell out. They then peddled it to Trump. The story goes wonky after that. I would comment further but not having the ability to think gets painful sometimes.

The article states the verbiage of the bill is too broad. If that is true, it is yet another shit ass legislation change and no l;arge company that can afford to fight will be able to fight it because it involves sex. That would tarnish their reputation.
Fucking dumb ass American perversion of Puritan values, combined with some other Christian cults that were not wanted in Europe....

Someone will rocket it strait up to SCOTUS. There is so much money in the sex industry. I am not for sure but I bet it rivals the AARP or NRA budget. Besides, it's one of the three pillars of life. Sex Drugs and Rock And Roll.

The fact that only 2 people voted against it shows more that congress cares about looking good than doing good.

US DoD is working on a shouting will-o-the-wisp weapon that literally creates a floating ball of light that can talk to you (but probably can't listen to your responses.) This of it as a lit up, plasma speaker!
Stay away from the light!

Cory's awesome. I've had breakfast and lunch with him before. We used to be neighbours. He's a really nice guy and I really think he's trying hard. He's my top pick for president.

I only support this if the snowballs are deadly. Last senator standing wins.
