Chillier night than predicted.
30° now.
Frost on the grass.
Frost on the pickup windshield.
Blazing red orb on the horizon.
Lone white-tail west of the house.
Dog lamely gave chase, then stopped.
Supposed to be going up to 60° today.
Will probably be warmer.
Coffee's cooking.
I'll take it.

Put this in the last thread by mistake:
So I watched that white privilege video while waiting at the airport yesterday in the wee hours of the morning. And while watching the video I looked around me at the gate. So we're waiting for a 6:30 flight, which means everyone there got up at 5am or earlier to get their to the airport in time.
It was almost all business travelers. And of those business travelers, 80% were men and of that 80%, 90% were evil white men.
These are the people flying off to places to make shit happen....whether sales getting done or engineers building shit or IT peeps doing their thing or whatever.
THIS is why evil white men succeed. Because at 5am we're out of bed crawling our way to make the 6:30am flight to Denver. And I'll be damned if I'll be ashamed of my so-called privilige you fucking leftist fucks.

Swedish Feminists are Objectively Pro-Rape
Previously we have seen how "Intersectional Feminism" leads to the "Feminist" position that protecting rapists is more "Feminist" (in a intersectional way) and thus more important than protecting women from Rape. In that article, the image that was originally used was photoshopped to change "refugees" to "rapists" and has since been updated with the original photo. The argument still stood, but perhaps the photoshopped picture was more honest than previously thought.

I once caught my neighbor's 6 year old trying to come in through the Tucker door (sized for a min-pin).
He got his head stuck, so I stood there yelling at him and threatening to call the police. I think he peed himself before I could free him and kick his ass.

Singer 50 Cent on his bankruptcy:
50 Cent is lashing out at some of the creditors in his bankruptcy
case, telling the judge they are trying to set the clock more than 150
years and gunning to make him their slave.
Three of 50's biggest creditors - Sleek Audio, SunTrust Bank and
Lastonia Leviston - have come up with a payback plan and are asking the
judge's approval.
50 has just responded, claiming the plan violates the 13th Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution which bans slavery and involuntary servitude.
He says the plan would create "a near-indefinite period of involuntary
indentured servitude" where he has to work solely for the creditors'
benefit.
Debt is now racist, apparently.

Also, because you don't equate debt with slavery?
Interestingly, for much of human history, debt was considered the equivalent of slavery. There are several verses in the Bible (and in secular literature) that basically boil down to "the debtor is the slave of the lender."
Of course, Mr. Half-Dollar is missing one vital point - his debt is voluntary, and paying it back is "justice" not "indentured servitude."

Uh, in this case, not so much. First the gov't actually has permission to get at the data on the phone from the owner, the county agency the muzzie was working for. Second, Apple seems to be using this more for publicity than answering the request. It is apparent that Apple has the capability of cracking the encryption but is concerned the Feds will then use it in other situations. So, why not tell the Feds, they will crack it at the location with a Fed representative present and then turn the data over to the Feds. The Feds don't get the software, the Feds get the data, and it's all done legally.

>>Did anyone else think Obama's conference yesterday was a big, fat disaster?
He just finished hosting a conference of Southeast Asian countries and during that conference it was discovered that China had installed missile systems on some of the new manmade island in the South China Sea further threatening trade and free access to the area.
I think that qualifies as a disaster.

Sez the man that takes pricey vacas on our dime every other month.
Sez the man that has worn out AF-1 raising funds for hisself and his co-conspirators.
Sez the man that draws red lines and then trips over them.
Community organizer = serious job

So Trump probably got thumped for going over the top on "Bush Lied", and some poll(s) dropped him a few or as much as nine, though it may make him stronger with the middle/left for the general. He walked it back some after that, but seems to hold a real anger about going to war in Iraq and helping the Saudis.
It would seem the Saudi princes are the ME's one percenters, and they pass money down, but many feel left out. And the oil rich countries aren't taking in the Syrian Muslims, or any Muslims. Trump would be better off directing the anger at the Muslim invasion of Europe, and softening the Bush Lied part.
During the debates of 2004 Kerry blamed Bush and Bush said "you saw the same intel I did". Of course the emotion on the left in time became as strong about the misinformation on nukes, as the emotion in defense of the war was/is on the right. Trump overplayed it but changed the Overton Window to "the unsafe Iraq War" versus the "My Brother Kept us Safe, we need more Bush" Jeb view.

From this date in 1944- Anzio
Feb 17, 1944 - The EZ Dog Journal
This is war as you hear about it. Gerry pushed more and more infantry against 1st Br and 45th. Some tanks. Artillery fire everywhere. Infiltration parties penetrated our line in several places but generally our line held. No great concern.
1st Br = British 1st Infantry Division
45th = U.S. 45th Infantry Division

From my reading, it's sounds like that's what they already did. The FBI isn't asking for the information on that particular device. They're asking for a way to get at any device they want, without going through with getting a warrant or Apple.

Strange new respect from me for Tim Cook.
Mr. Cook has determined that Apple will fight the order by the court to provide assistance to the FBI trying to unlock the San Berdoo jihadis phone.
Says it would have to create a program that would be a back door that could then be used on any iPhone. Says that the FBI could not keep the program secret (heh) and that once done could not be undone. As it is he revealed the manner of how to do it. Which entails faking the operating system and then getting the phone to download it as an upgrade.
(see how dangerous those automatic upgrades can be? Microsoft?)
EFF has chimed in and says they will be filing an amicus brief with Apple.

Moo Moo @ #125,
Initially that's why I liked Trump. I just wanted to tell the Establishment to go fuck itself.
But now I and tons of other Trump Supporters believe in Trump the man.
He doesn't have to perfectly jive with my conservative views on every single issue.
He's the most conservative on the most important issue: Illegal Immigration.
All that 'the Bush administration lied about WMD' nonsense is Trump setting up his campaign to make a play for independents in the general election.

Charles Cooke makes an excellent point: as bad as Congressional "conservatives" have been, and as shocking as Roberts saving ObamaCare twice was, it's not all defeats, all the time for us. We've won back second amendment rights, and some fourth amendment cases as well. We've seen the GOP, as wimpy as it is, take the House and Senate- entirely because of the Tea Party - and an unprecedented number of state houses and governorships.
The Democrats are reduced to running two really old candidates, and you know why? Because they literally have no one else. Everyone else lost their lower office election over the last seven years.

I can't for the life of me see how this election can turn out well - - for the country. It may work out well for the party, or for the candidates, but the country...

Chi @ #140,
Apparently you (and lots of others) are clueless about the "Birther" conspiracy concept.
You see, the Birther conspiracy theory regarding Obama was that there was a conspiracy to cover up that Obama had been born in a foreign land because - as we all knew - this would have disqualified him from being president.
That's why it was such a push to get Obama to release his birth certificate.
No official proof was ever uncovered that Obama was born in a foreign land.
In the case of the Ineligible Ted Cruz: THE FACT THAT HE WAS BORN IN A FOREIGN LAND IS WELL KNOWN.
Do you see the difference?

Trump's embrace of Bush Derangement Syndrome has knocked my support for his campaign down below Cruz. In my not so humble opinion, he really shat the bed there, and it'll take some major betrayal or insanity by Cruz to even make me think of reassessing it. I'd still take Trump over Rubio, but then again, I'd consider voting for the King in Yellow - the original He Who Must Not be Named - over any Establishment candidate.

I agree.
When I was a wee lad, I worked in NYC for a landscaping company. They did a fair amount of work for Trump, and he stiffed them for the last several months of work.
Not because of shoddy work (the stuff was amazing), but because Trump knew that he would prevail. More lawyers, more time.....
And we weren't the only ones. NYC contractors are very careful about doing anything for Trump.

Methinks Tim Cook is just another lefty hypocrite.
He could just point out that the only thing the feds can legally get from the SB killer muzzie's phone is information relative to that case and that case alone.
He could also point out that we all have an inalienable right to privacy while he's at it and for the feds to want any type of blanket surveillance is blatantly unconstitutional and therefore illegal.
I could also have a pony.
Of those three possibilities, the third one seems far more plausible than the first two.

Early voting starts in Texas today. That means all the major candidates are on the ballot, and I would not be surprised if Cruz won (I won't be surprised if he doesn't, either, because Texans in general are pissed about the border, and Trump is the only one willing to say the things -whether or not he believes them- that we want said).
I think if Trump wins in SC, then the Establishment will "encourage" everyone but Rubio to get out of the race and throw their support (and any won delegates) to him. I further believe (because the only group the Establishment ever seems to be willing to fight is the grass-roots), that they will then do two things: 1) throw out every bit of dirt they possibly can against both Trump and Cruz to make them "unelectable" and 2) play for a brokered convention.
If they succeed in those two things, then the brokered convention will select Rubio or even Jeb (most likely). And at that point Mr. Trump will have succeeded in doing what I want him to do - destroy the Republican Party so that something new can take its place.
Even if he wins outright, Trump will likely cause the Republican Establishment to destroy itself. I'm willing to put up with 4, or even 8, years of Trump in order to have at least a chance at a party that actually represents me.

I get the dislike for Apple and Tim Cook, but it seems hugely shortsighted to me to just take the government side because the "victim" here is a lefty. Apple isn't the victim here, it's us. Positive reinforcement for companies when they're on the right side of things is just as important as negative reinforcement when they're doing something stupid.
If a company like Apple just gives up on this, we've effective lost all expectation of privacy.

In the gambling world, Hillary is the odds-on favorite to win the Dem nominations at 4:1. Bernie is odds-against at 3:1
Hillary is right now even odds to be the next president. Next is Trump at 3:1 against. Benrie is 4:1 against, far better odds than all the other Republicans.
So officially, odds are WASTF.

chemfeff @ #194,
It doesn't look like it's going to be necessary for The Don to file suit against the Ineligible Ted Cruz.
That was my original point this morning.
But you're plainly wrong about how the federal courts would respond to such a suit.
The facts aren't in question.
Everyone knows that the Ineligible Ted Cruz was born in a foreign land.
Therefore - the relevant facts being known - it is strictly a matter of Constitutional law.
And guess what? That's what the Supreme Court specializes in.
They would fast track the case just like they did in Gore v Bush.
And the Ineligible Ted Cruz would lose on the merits.

They show one educator who is trying to reach to young muslims who may be suseptble to radicalization. He sounds rational but: He was a mentor to that asshole who started that slick jihadi mag in english. two, he said he had one thought about joining the taliban. Early on in the 90s it was clear that the taliban had destroyed any modernization in Afghanistan. Women could not go out in public unless accompanied by a male relative. If you had none, you were shit out of luck. You couldnt shop for food. You couldnt work. If you were caught outside, they slit your hamstrings. Apparently, doofus had no problems with that.

That way the gov can break the code on THIS phone and THIS phone alone to find out what is on it. It is NOT a request to Apple to give them card blanche on everyone's iPhone.
do you trust Obama's government to only use that power responsibly?

If Apple gets a judge to sign off, than I have no issue with Apple cracking the phone. I'm sure they have an off the shelf solution already.
Let the FBI get back to work on putting the unindicted presidential candidate behind bars.

Meanwhile, in other news, over on slashdot :
Hours after Apple was ordered to help the FBI access the San Bernardino Shooters' iPhone, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), a Stanford University computer-science graduate, wondered where the use of the All Writs Act—on which the magistrate judge based her ruling—might lead. "Can courts compel Facebook to provide analytics of who might be a criminal?"
Enquiring minds need to know if one can be busted only because you are for legalization of marijuana and say so on your Facebook page.

It's interesting n who he meets and his reference to different works of Theology, although it's not about Orthodox belief per se. It's only about 200 pages.

The difference is we were talking about what Obama would do after he left office. Moo Moo believes Obama is a hard working evil genius. It's my opinion ,which is backed up by facts, is that Obama is a lazy figure head puppet. Once he is out of office, he will be useless without his puppet masters and will not put in any effort into doing anything significant.

Mr Macca Bean: We used to make joke about the Poles.
We owe them years worth of apologies....
Polack jokes generally took a fast fade - and certainly in my case ended forever - after a certain Pope, and Lech Walesa, helped start the cascade that ended the USSR. I was laughing, but with them, not at them.

NotCoach @ #271,
I agree with you on why Goldwater lost.
But the reason we would lose if the Ineligible Ted Cruz snagged the nomination is because the GOP would have to scramble to replace him after the Supreme Court ruled he was ineligible due to being born in a foreign land under foreign law and thus not a "natural born" citizen.

P.S. A fun book to read (if you haven't already read it) from the Orthodox perspective is-The Way of a Pilgrim " and "The Pilgrim continues his journey" which is supposedly the anonymous account of a guy who traveled over Russia in the 1840s who continually recited the great Orthodox prayer, "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me,a sinner. It's interesting n who he meets and his reference to different works of Theology, although it's not about Orthodox belief per se. It's only about 200 pages.

Actually I'm just reading widely. By birth and upbringing I'm a Lutheran but mainstream Lutheranism is less than inspiring, which is why I'm currently seeking. I'm not an atheist and my agnosticism is getting harder and harder to justify. So now I'm ready to make choices.

It doesn't apply to Americans.
For instance, in America we can build churches and synagogues if we want to. We can even own bibles!
In Saudi Arabia that is illegal, but their law...foreign law...does not apply to us.

The heads of the major Hollywood studios and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met yesterday at Universal Studios to discuss how to counter ISIS. Kerry later noted the meeting on Twitter.
The sitdown was similar in nature to when the Bush administration came to Hollywoods doorstep after 9/11 to develop content and plot lines that addressed the then-emerging War On Terror.

NotCoach @ #292,
Your point that foreign law is irrelevant to US Constitutional eligibility is spot on!
- A citizen must have been born under sovereignty of US LAW.
The Ineligible Ted Cruz Being born in a foreign land (not at a US military base or embassy) means he was not born under sovereign US jurisdiction.
An act of Congress naturalized him at birth.
But past Supreme Court majority opinions (as well as a commonsense reading of the Constitution) make it clear that being "naturalized" by Congress is no the same thing as being "natural born" under the sovereignty of the US Constitution.
Ted is INELIGIBLE.

With freedom comes less security. That is axiomatic.
And privacy is sacrosanct. Only a legal court order can violate our privacy. The desires of law enforcement are notoriously corrupt. That is exactly why the constitution requires judicial approval.
That being said: this turd's phone should be cracked by order of a judge. If Apple doesn't want to do it, they should throw Tim Cook into jail for contempt.

Calling Trump a Truther is fun but not remotely honest.
Truthers think Bush was behind 9/11, that he knew and it is all a plan by the secret globalist club, there were no planes, fire can't melt steel .... all that.
Trump blamed Clinton first, then said Bush also had a shot at bin Laden. The "Bush Lied" part was only about the WMD's, and over the top that "they knew there were none". I think Trump believes the nation building was wrong and hurt US, and simplifies that with "they lied us into war". We know they didn't have as much as they sold us on regarding nukes. And the defensive right claims "there were WMDs" but really only point to the old chemical stuff.
So it is "phrasing" ... they decided to go in, and Trump calls it a big lie, I (in hindsight, not with foresight) call it a strategic mistake, unless they'd been ready to unleash the military and really win. In any case, Trump hated the decision in 2004, and the deals made were more globalist interventionist than "America First". He was in favor of striking back at whoever did it, not in favor of what actually became more "quagmire" than Vietnam.
Trump is not a "Truther" ... a little Bush derangement syndrome maybe, but for different reasons than leftists. Bush was a globalist, not really a conservative.

So it is "phrasing" ... they decided to go in, and Trump calls it a big lie, I (in hindsight, not with foresight) call it a strategic mistake, unless they'd been ready to unleash the military and really win. In any case, Trump hated the decision in 2004, and the deals made were more globalist interventionist than "America First". He was in favor of striking back at whoever did it, not in favor of what actually became more "quagmire" than Vietnam.
Trump is not a "Truther" ... a little Bush derangement syndrome maybe, but for different reasons than leftists. Bush was a globalist, not really a conservative.

As far as I can tell, if you want to preserve what rights we have left, and begin to root out the federal government from various aspects of your life, Cruz is your man. I have no idea what Trump would do as president, and neither does anybody else, including Trump.

Posted by: Vashta Nerada at February 17, 2016 09:54 AM (Qvgg/)
Yep, that's the good and the bad of Trump.
He lies just like the establishment lies, the only difference is he doesn't have 30 years of lying to account for, and there's no one else out there willing to bring the establishment to account. Except, yes, for Ted Cruz. Only he isn't a chaos candidate, he's a conservative candidate, and the socialist academy, media, entertainment complex, and social media advocacy engine have armored the youth of the nation against conservatism, stigmatized it into something to be completely ignored where it can't be attacked. Chaos may be our only hope.
It's my opinion that the federal government has been set up, since the vietnam war, to tend towards autocracy automatically, regardless of who is in power. Thus chaos may be our only chance of averting redistributive socialism.
In a battle of David vs Goliath you have to risk everything on a long shot. We are not Goliath.
I'm not happy about it though. The last 3 weeks have taken the shine off the Donald. But nothing can change the math.

They got a Court Order:
The Justice Department sought the order in the hopes of gaining crucial evidence about the Dec. 2 shooting rampage, which killed 14 people and injured 22.
The order, signed Tuesday by a magistrate judge in Riverside, Calif., does not ask Apple to break the phones encryption but rather to disable the feature that wipes the data on the phone after 10 incorrect tries at entering a password.

From my reading, it's sounds like that's what they already did. The FBI isn't asking for the information on that particular device. They're asking for a way to get at any device they want, without going through with getting a warrant or Apple.

I can see Apple saying we won't give you the method for general use. But I don't see why they can't do it for a specific device with permission/warrant.

First, I keep wondering if this administration knows they're not playing characters on The West Wing.
Second, I can imagine just how this went:
Kerry: "We need people to understand that ISIS are not true Muslims, so we were thinking that we need more shows to depict Muslims as peaceful, patriotic Americans."
Hollywood Team: "Right! We were also thinking that to really drive the point home it would be best to depict anyone who does not agree with this as a hatey racist bigot southern bible-clinging gun nut."
Kerry: "And a Republican, right?"
Hollywood Team: "Of course!! We've got that one down already. We've perfected the 'looks like a Muslim terror attack but is actually a hatey, PSTD-ridden former military dude' plot twist down pat."
Kerry: "Excellent. Your tax breaks will continue."

I haven't read the letter --- is this teaching them how to do it themselves, or just sets a precedent that authorities can request telecom companies do it for them (with or without a subpoena)?
I've worked in the telecom industry (it was years ago, but still), and they do comply with subpoenas - not just call records, but location information, and I imagine it's only gotten more expansive with texts, browsing info from smartphones, etc.
I'm not getting why this particular request is such a big deal.

How weird is it that in the 21st century, there exists a predominant ideology, masquerading as a religion, as savage and brutal as Islam?
https://tinyurl.com/zfk7dko
As a youth, I remember reading ancient history about societies who did this shit and thought to myself how fortunate I was to live in civilized times.
How odd life is.
How odd it is for a deity to have been created and to continue to exist in "civilized times".
How even stranger that the majority of western leaders rush to defend it when it is rightfully maligned.
I think this says so much about humanity as a whole.

The "software" would stay in Apple's hands?
Posted by: Nevergiveup at February 17, 2016 10:09 AM (DUoqb)
--------------------------------------------
If that were true there would be no controversy. Each instance the FBI uses this backdoor would require judicial review.
But the letter makes clear the FBI wants to take possession of the software and the ability to push the update to any phone they choose.
If Apple does it for the FBI what's to stop them from giving the same thing to the Chinese government. One of my daughter's friends from college attended a protest against human rights violations ONE time at Stanford, where they went to school. Afterwards, Stanford reported to her that her gmail account at school had been hacked, along with other email accounts from other protestors. The implication from Stanford's IT security people was the Chinese government was behind the hacking. The FBI can do the same and more (though I don't think they would) with this software.
Judicial review of each instance. It's a principle here in the U.S. I argue for it only to preserve the principle.

I know people denigrate Cruz for his religious beliefs, but Rubio and Gowdy evidently are willing to throw their faiths out the window by suddenly forgetting the 6th and 9th commandments.

They only built their lightrail system recently --- it wasn't installed before/as the city itself was built out like DC, Boston, etc.
From what I've heard, the decisions on where to lay down rail for it was more difficult (less options/open space) and very political (stops based on what various activist groups wanted, not based on commuter needs).

The ruling from U.S. Magistrate Sheri Pym requires Apple to provide "reasonable technical assistance" to the FBI, namely, software that can disable the security feature that erases data from the iPhone after too many unsuccessful attempts to unlock it.

NO
Only with a Court Order
And Apple retains the work around NOT the Gov
IT'S A FUCKIN TERRORIST
There's no way to guarantee that, though. If the government can use the All Writs Act to compel creation of this tool, it can certainly compel Apple to hand it over. In fact, the argument writes itself:
"It's simply too dangerous to let a powerful tool like this remain in a private company's possession. The government must maintain control of this tool to safeguard it."
And you keep yelling about this being a "fucking terrorist" like that's supposed to mean something. Are there different evidentiary and investigative rules for terrorists vs non terrorists? How is one determined? If you're on the terrorist watch list, do you no longer have a reasonable expectation of privacy against fishing expeditions on your iPhone?
Cook is right - decades of Cybersecurity doctrine argue against precisely what Apple is being told to do, outside of the legislative process no less. And I say this as a fervent opponent of what Cook has done to Apple.

Seriously, I tire of this asinine argument from Trumptards. My college roommate was born in London to two American parents who were working abroad. He's a fucking American in his soul, and legally too. If we're not going to make an issue of Obama's birth and upbringing (and bitching vs *mounting a campaign to disqualify a man from running for the office* are functionally distinct whether your head-up-your-ass pedantry cares to acknowledge the distinction or not) then why the fuck are we going to make an issue of it re: the most conservative candidate I've seen in my voting lifetime?

It's axiomatic. Cook tries to explain it in his letter.
Posted by: VA GOP Sucks at February 17, 2016 10:10 AM (PFy0L)
Here is what Cook says:
Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software which does not exist today would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone's physical possession.
The FBI may use different words to describe this tool, but make no mistake: Building a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, there is no way to guarantee such control.
I don't see what Apple can't maintain possession of the phone while it is cracked and then remove the new software once done.

I'll say this about Apple: You and I know damned good and well Apple has given the ChiComs backdoor access to Iphones.
I'll bet good money that was the up-front, this-first-or-nothing condition before they opened a single factory in China.
And, as someone else mentioned, what if they said something bad about the fags, would he make the same "stand?"

Trump might not be as conspiracy-theory minded as Obama might have been. I think when someone is elected, they get shown secret files, and then they are deeply and suddenly quiet and serious.
I imagine Obama telling generals to take him to Area 51. They break the rust off the locks and he sees a possum named Bitey.
Still the Yellow King has shit the bed bad enough that I might volunteer for Cruz.

Of all the failures (to a conservative) of the Bush administration, the total lack of pushback on the "lied us into war" narrative will always be the most confounding to me.

Yeah, I think it was Cheney that cited that as a regret? I would have the list of the 23 Dems that voted for the AUMF (Clinton and Kerry, just to name two) and point it out. If Clinton were to say anything about this during a debate, I would ask if she somehow did not have access to the same information at the time. She was a senator who at any time could have received a classified briefing in addition to the closed door sessions they had in the run up to the AUMF vote.

The housing act, TARP, never holding Reid to account for filibustering every single lower court nominee, abandoning the cultural battlefield generally and the WMD narrative specifically (when there are stories in the goddamn NYT about chemical weapons caches that were found in Iraq) and the culmination of all those small failures in the election of Barack Obama are all reasons that while I admire GWB as a man, he was an abject failure as president.
And now he's stumping for Jeb.

I'm sure the software on this one phone can be modified to not require a password. I'm a 'high level' programmer (or was) with some knowledge of the low level stuff.
The routine to enter password is simply modified to not work. Take a low level techy a couple hours to write, if they don't already have it available.
Then hand the phone to the FBI. Methinks Cook has some other motive behind his actions.

What really bothers me about DT's claims is his repeated use of the word 'reign' in his comments. I think this is how he sees the POTUS -- as a 'reign' rather than an administration.

I came into a place where all light is silent, that
groans like the sea in a storm, when it is lashed by
conflicting winds.
The infernal whirlwind, which never rests, drives
the spirits before its violence; turning and striking, it
tortures them.
When they come before the landslide, there the
shrieks, the wailing, the lamenting; there they curse
God's power.
I understood that this torment were damned
the carnal sinners, who subject their reason to their
lust.
And as their wings carry off the starlings in the
cold season, in large full flocks, so does that breath
carry the evil spirits
here, there, down, up; no hope ever comforts them,
not of lessened suffering, much less of rest.

Sorry that is just wrong. No One has an absolute right to privacy. And
just because Cook says something does not make it so. There is a long
Legal History of Courts forcing disclosures. And yeah Fuckin Terrorism
is different. And there is NO doubt these cock suckers were terrorists,
or do you think they were "freedom fighters".
There is a long legal history of courts forcing disclosures, but there is not a long legal history of courts forcing a tech company to defeat the encryption on a phone. And just because a court orders something doesn't mean it's possible anyway - Apple has made it perfectly clear that it is largely unable to defeat the encryption on its devices, by design.
What's happening here is the FBI is trying to get Apple to do something beyond what the All Writs Act is supposed to enable And it's pretty shameful, I think.
Oh, and your statement illustrates just how slippery this slope is. If I have a problem with misusing the heavy hand of government in this instance, well, I must be some kind of sympathizer and therefore a target for MY iPhone being hacked too. Isn't that what you're suggesting in your last sentence?

Policy: Trump's supported partial-birth abortion. His position on healthcare is left of Obamacare -- he wants to have Medicare set drug prices. His position on Iraq is "take their oil." His position on Syria is let Russia take over and also create a fabulous safe zone "on the beach" (because hey, beachfront property!) and have the Chinese build factories (because hey, Chinese people love to build factories! even in war zones!). His position on immigration seems is deport all illegals at massive expense, build a wall, get Mexico to pay for it --- and then let everyone back in! Yes, Trump supports amnesty for all. Except the Muslims, even if they're citizens, which, btw,is grossly unconstitutional not to mention bigoted.
Character: Trump University appears to have been little more than a scam, according to state prosecutors. Trump's a draft-dodger who said McCain wasn't a real war hero. He tried to use eminent domain to force an old woman out of her home to expand his casino. He told a baldfaced lie in the debates about being "loudly" against invading Iraq, but there is no record of his opposition before 2003 and his 2000 book strongly supports the invasion. He's called his opponents "anchor baby" and "p****y" and questioned their citizenship and said their faces are ugly and that they're fake war heroes and bad doctors. He's been divorced twice with at least three separate allegation of abuse.
If Trump didn't have low-information supporters, he wouldn't have any.

Trump alos says "that is not keeping US safe". The buck stops with the president, he can't pick and choose history (only the left can do that) ...
becoming president starts well before the swearing in. "Kept US Safe" is a Bush mantra, and often used defensively because the war was not going so well. Like "well, at least he kept us safe here".
I was OK with them exaggerating the nuke thing, but I now wonder what plan they had for the rebuilding. The Biden "three state nation" (or whatever he called it back then), almost sounds reasonable at this point. But too late for that ... not sure we will even back the Kurds. Blame Obama sure, but that had to be anticipated.

BackwardsBoy: Yeah, but why is evil always winning these days?
Making the most smoke and noise is not "winning."
Witness the referenced comments that generated this theological question. TSF posts many time with the same one note. Oddly, "saying something loud enough and often enough" is not convincing, at least on here. But Seamus's one gem of sarcastic retort? Winning!

NGU,
The "they're terrorists" argument would hold some weight if it wasn't for this Administration's track record on who it considers "terrorists".
Therefore, I cannot now or ever trust the Feds with tools and capabilities of this kind.

Yeah not really. Apple could change the code again after the gov has the phone to their original work around would no longer work on any other phone. And the Gov can NOT give up custody of the phone...I mean come on now?
The distrust of Gov ( and well earned I might add) has blinded some absolutes here to what national Security is. Sigh

Yeah actually there is a history of tech companies being court ordered
And your motives? I have no idea, but I think you seem to have a problem recognizing legitimate National Security
Being ordered is different than being able to comply. A court could order me to levitate in the air like Magneto, but that's different than me actually being able to do it.
And gee, I seem to recall lots of noise being made 15-some years ago about granting powers and abilities to the government in the name of national security. Didn't the NSA kind of run with that argument a while ago.....?
If the FBI can legitimately hack into the phone, then lovely. But misusing the law to compel Apple to do what it's being told to do is just wrong, and in fact destroys the idea of freedom and privacy in the name of saving it.

We've won back second amendment rights, and some fourth amendment cases
as well. We've seen the GOP, as wimpy as it is, take the House and
Senate- entirely because of the Tea Party - and an unprecedented number
of state houses and governorships.
=========
If I may?
2nd Amendment? Oh, you mean the ruling that DC promptly ignored? The defendant in that case? The ruling that multiple states and several Circuits said was limited in scope and really didn't apply all that much anyway? That "settled" law which is so settled it's already back before the Court?
4th Amendment? Gutted and dead for 20 years. Every since that bitch O'Conner said DWI checkpoints were totally Constitutional at least. Maybe even before that when the Shitty Court said, "cars are different, the 4th doesn't really apply when it comes to cars."
House and Senate? Which has . . . done fuck-all to stop the Dems. To the point that there are ZERO legislative victories. To the point that--if you saw only the results, not the makeup of the membership--you'd swear the Democrats controlled both chambers.
Statehouses and governorships? Yeah?And they are doing, what exactly, to expand the freedom and liberty of the citizens? What are they doing to pare back the size, scope and reach of government? To their credit, there is the only pushback against the Obama. But, they are limited because they are not committed to the last, full measure.

Apple can change the code all it wants, but again...once this precedent is set, it doesn't matter. They can be forced to circumvent their own measures that would defeat the use of the original tool via the same expansive reading of the All Writs Act.

The housing act, TARP, never holding Reid to account for filibustering every single lower court nominee, abandoning the cultural battlefield generally and the WMD narrative specifically (when there are stories in the goddamn NYT about chemical weapons caches that were found in Iraq) and the culmination of all those small failures in the election of Barack Obama are all reasons that while I admire GWB as a man, he was an abject failure as president.

Some people may not like Trump's comments on Bush, but if Bush won't defend himself why should anyone else? In fact, if Bush cedes the entire ground to the enemy (the Dems) it will always be a losing battle to defend him.
Also consider the fact that Bush himself gave a black eye to the conservative movement with his "compassionate conservative" talk (implying that conservatives aren't normally compassionate).

>>And lets remember, there are other governments who will make the same demand.
Got news for you - foreign governments make unbelievable demands to access telecom company subscriber activities all the time (that are complied with). I worked for an international telco in the late 90's and we had governments that required we provide them an onsite office, with a door that locked, in which their people could sit and listen to calls whenever they wanted. In China they just up and decided that they would take over our local affiliate from its owners (nice telecom business ya got there, it's now ours, and USA HQ must now renegotiate all terms of doing business here to our liking). Heck, even in Canada they don't require subpoenas to demand records (unless something's changed recently).

Donald Trump has two settings: Attack; and Attack!
I recall many on the starboard side of politics bemoaning the fact that none of their candidates would ever attack. Well, here you go. Donald Trump is not a conservative or right or anything like that, but by golly does the man like to attack. He attacks candidates - Hillary, Jeb, Cruz. He attacks proxies - Bill, Dubya.
He attacks from the Right.
He attacks from the Left.
He attacks from the Center.
He always attacks.
To ask Donald Trump not to attack is to ask the fire not to burn.

Some people may not like Trump's comments on Bush, but if Bush won't defend himself why should anyone else? In fact, if Bush cedes the entire ground to the enemy (the Dems) it will always be a losing battle to defend him.

How come the proletarian left gets spoonfed its arguments by its leadership, how come the proles of the left are defended by their public figures, while the proletarian right is forced to do the dirty work of defending its leadership without any backup? While being stabbed in the back by "conservative" public figures, in fact?
re: GWB, maybe it's just stockholm syndrome but any enemy of the left is worth at least a passing defense. And the keelhauling that man took during his two terms was far from passing. That's all I can settle on to explain my affection for him, which is real, despite the failings I pointed out above.

Um, he is talking about the encryption. And I believe him. A Court could order Apple to break the encryption on the phone, but without the key it would be very difficult if not well nigh impossible to do so. There is no back door in iOS to defeat the encryption.
That's the point. A court can order someone to do something, but if that something is impossible then the order doesn't really mean a whole lot, does it?

look, Cruz's image in the MSM before his candidacy got really underway was "the filibustering conservative extremist" who pissed everybody off
that was the inertia he had to deal with, that and his supercilious smartypants manner, which didn't exactly warm the cockles of anyone's heart in the way Americans like to have their cockles warmed
Trump came on the scene again and was Mr Let's Cut the Bullshit, but he had obvious warmth
it's not hard to understand the emotional environment here: Cruz didn't lock up a lot of obvious support because he was considered toxic and didn't have a lot of likeability to make up for it

But most of news talks of tiny sound bites where he says something they find offensive, and that plays all day. His message is much more than that, and he relates like a man of the people.

I read this morning that in the 90s on the Howard Stern show, he said that all his sleeping around during the HIV epidemic was akin to serving in Vietnam, because of the danger.

The trend seems to be that South Carolina used to pick the winner, but last time picked a candidate who washed out of the race almost immediately after winning. We can only hope people start to notice Gingrich was a great candidate next to the guy who supports Planned Parenthood and Medicare drug pricing.

What he did say was that he can't change the code to let the government in in such a way that doesn't also make it easier for other actors to get in.
Posted by: joe at February 17, 2016 10:50 AM (KUaJL)
No he said that if he gave the code to the gov't they could then use it on other iPhones. He is correct there but there is no reason the gov't has to have access to the new code. Apple could hack the phone, determine the code and then give the code and phone (with original OS) back to gov't.

Count me as a Trump supporter, though I would be fine with voting for Cruz. Not Mario though.
Trump however is a bigger "blow me" message to the Establishment. Destroying them is my number one concern at the moment and Trump seems to be doing a better job at it.
I'm not convinced that any of the candidates can pull us back from the brink, I think it may already be past the point of no return.

A) they are not asking for the software to do this, They are asking for Apple to do this on THIS phone ONLY
==========
Chain of custody, my friend.
If Apple does this--without allowing observation and verification of the techniques used--the phone becomes inadmissible. How else do you defeat the defense argument that "what if someone at Apple, who unlocked it, planted those texts?"
So, yes: They are asking for the software to do this to every phone.

And that's probably the most reasonable way to approach it, though even that I think goes a little too far. I think there's an argument that it places an unreasonable burden on Apple.

Give him his due: Trump's a very effective con man.
A state prosecutor said Thursday that Trump University deserves an F in ethics.
Deputy Solicitor General Steven Wu told four Manhattan appellate judges that Trump's much-maligned -- and now-defunct -- school promising instant wealth operated as a "fraudulent bait and switch scheme."
"The fraud that was alleged here is a classic type of fraud," Wu said. "This was not an exotic scheme."
"This is a case about straightforward misrepresentations," Wu added.

It's perfectly possible for the manufacturers of the phone to break the encryption on shitbag muzzie's iPhone without compromising all other iPhones. Even if it does require creating a phony OS upgrade to that particular phone, that phony upgrade does not have to be released to the wild. For transparency, have the whole process occur in a closed Faraday cage with a roomful of expert witnesses to verify that only shitbag's phone is under scrutiny.

Um, the Feds can watch. That's not the issue. They can't have access to the code that hacks the phone. And just like an gov't official, you subpoena the programming who swears under oath nothing was planted. It's the same as sending a sample off to a private lab.

It's understandable people feel that way after eight years of Obama, unfortunately Donald Trump is the worst possible vehicle for these frustrations, in that he's the funhouse-mirror image of Obama -- where people projected their hopes onto Obama's vague empty-suit platitudes, people are now projecting their anger onto Donald's vehement cluelessness and lack of compunction.
I mean, we all loved it when Trump attacked Bill Clinton's history with women and Obama's various idiocies. If Trump put on a daily half-hour TV show to rant about Democrats, I'd watch it and cheer. I liked watching Ozzy Osborne too, but they'd both be terrible political leaders.

Trump let his name be used on projects he didn't run, from what I gather. People had to read a little to figure that out maybe, but any "get rich quick" house marketing schemes, or real estate developments, should always be questioned. But people with money got greedy, were flipping, easy money ... hey, no more work, learn to flip houses and be rich.
These seem to have fallen apart when the housing market did, and many people with money were indeed getting rich from the easy money real estate bubble. The bubble popped ... people are angry ... "where did my free riches go". Trump didn't create the real estate bubble.
