Four facts:

  1. If Trump stole nat'l secrets, he must face justice.

  2. Thanks to Judge Cannon, it now seems impossible for a trial to happen before the election.

  3. If he's reelected, he will never face trial.

  4. Therefore, Trump must be defeated as a matter of nat'l security

It should be required to asterisk Trump appointments.

Judge* Cannon

Like baseball records during the HGH era. Sure Sosa, McGuire, and Bonds technically hit a bunch of home runs*

Typical.
Broadband would exploded 15 years ago except for Cable interference, lobbying, and straight out corruption that kept digital networks from competing

Small town networks used provisions to keep out iptv because franchise incentives were to provide bare minimums of service until they could cash out when one of the big networks wanted to expand.

It was a status quo encouraged by the majors and enforced by their lobbyists at the state legislatures
