Trump ditches reporters, goes to dinner at "21 Club," where he is given a standing O from fat-cat diners. The man who ran as a populist champion of the middle class tells diners he'll "get their taxes down, don't worry about it," a statement reportedly met with laughter.
- He fully aspires to be a part-time president. Make no doubts about it.mg33

"Former presidential candidate Ben Carson says he won't join Trump's Cabinet because he has no government experience "

Would it be a crazy to think the Republican controlled house & senate would encourage impeaching Trump just to get Pence in the White House?
- i wouldn't put it past those crooked fuckersmoldero
- I have long thought this is why Ryan has been so quiet. We'll see.monkeyshine
- Doesn't matter, he's going to be a puppet and let them do whatever they want. He got the title, that's all he cared about. Just look at his cabinet.formed
- wut formed sedmoldero
- Impeaching Trump could lead in jailing Hillary for similar alleged crimes. Trump would be acquitted like the last two attempts in impeaching a president.********
- Nixon was never acquitted. He resigned before it got that far. Watergate ended with Ford's full pardonCyBrainX

Congrats nitwits with your new Commander-in-chief
- LOL, because these headlines have nothing to do with the military.********
- Trump drained the swap, now we can see all the shit at the bottom of it.moldero
- how could you possibly defend this omg? what the fuck is wrong with you?inteliboy
- They're called headlines in a magazine that prides itself on being controversial and provocative.********
- It would be more wrong to pass judgement without reading any of the articles, and give into click-bait titles.********
- omfg-yuri2.0moldero
- Of course Bernie wants Trump to get rid of Steve Bannon because he thinks he's "racist". Yet these 7 headlines do not indicate any racism whatsoever.********
- What does it say about Congress if they're not protecting the first amendment, but rather trying to destroy and control it instead?********
- Congress isn't threatening the 1st amendment retard and please stop defending fear mongering hate filled click bait it's weird.monospaced
- wow, click bait headlines. only nazi news outlets do thatGnash
- Aside from the birth control article, each of those address relevant social issues. albeit in a very biased wayGnash
- yes gnash that's the pointmonospaced
- Biased doesn't mean irrelevantGnash
- But clearly not appropriate for presidential staffGnash
- @Mono Then tell Bernie, what folks say on Breitbart should stay on Breitbart is protected by the 1st amendment, & should not be bullied out of the White House.********
- @omg, you clearly have misinterpreted the 1st amendment, then, because that argument makes no sense, at allmonospaced
- Bernie wasn't just protesting or criticizing, he said he would oppose policy which infringes on freedom of press, and interfering with the right to assemble.********
- Bernie said he would oppose policy that infringes on the first amendment?! That's a good thing.monospaced

"Service is the rent we pay for living," Clinton told the crowd. "You don't get to stop paying rent just because things didn't go your way."

- service award to some kid non profit thing. but also about everything else being first big speech. wording raised my brow********
- i could see it being read a few ways********
- She wants to send your kids to war folks.********

- All made up! George Soros111yuekit
- Sorry, but these hate crimes have been going on ever since I can remember in high school.********
- In fact, there was more graffiti, and fights in school and on the streets back in the days.********
- in fact, all our subway cars were filled top to bottom with graffiti.********
- these are weak triggers********
- With Hillary we got the Orlando Bomber, not a bunch of graffiti and kids calling each other names.********
- wait nothing bad happened to a whitey? FUCK YEA! I heard even white privilege kids get to pet puppies and cry-ins now. top of the food chain once again********
- omg is just posting anecdotes. that's a fact!dorf
- So retarded. This shit happens every single day and always has done.********
- 'horrific acts of violence' seems a wee bit hyperbolic where a lot of these are concerned.detritus
- as det says, they're obviously not all horrific acts of violence. Equally, not all of this stuff happens every day. One side sensationalizes while the otherFax_Benson
- uses that hysterical reaction as an excuse to turn a blind eye. Circle of stupid.Fax_Benson
- A bit hyperbolic? Imagine those living in Syria reading this.Gnash
- Of course this stuff happens everyday. Whether under the excuse or Trump or something else. This is suggesting this wouldn't be happening had Trump not won.********

Theoretically, could we not be governed by AI? by computer?
Making the assumption that the system is closed, secure and un-hackable (as this would be reason #1 to as why you'd not want to be governed by a computer).
A system could crunch all the data: earnings, employment rate, hospital admissions, birth rate, death rate, exchange rates, grocery prices, weather... you name it, any data we currently have out there - crunched. It could go further and look into subjective things, such as how happy the population are - mining Facebook/twitter posts to gather sentiment etc. You could even have an app, to directly feed back into the AI, let it know your concerns and feelings.
A system could take all that data and run some policies - setting variables such as tax rates, spending budgets, interest rates etc. The AI could learn over time, constantly tweaking rates... The ultimate objective of the AI government is to make it's subjects happy.
A system like that, if we could all trust it, and build it to be 'sincere', would so much better than having to vote for hot headed leaders every few years.
If each country in the world had such a system, plugged into a World AI system - would we see world peace?
I don't think it's out of reach to have such a system - in a 1000 years time, if we haven't all killed each other, or suffered from a massive natural disaster, I can totally imagine such a system.
In any case.. why hasn't someone made a movie yet? It'd make an awesome series of films. Episode one, the development and utopia. Episode two, the resentment of the system, the question of what exactly is human happiness. Episode three, the big hack. Episode four, heading towards war...
- theoretically, you may be living in a simulation that could have been created as an AI project to begin with.renderedred
- Isn't this what the Zeitgeist movies were about?yuekit
- I've recently listened to a podcast on big data that touches on some of your points:
https://soundcloud.c…******** - Theoretically it would be possible and one of the arguments would be that machines would be perceived as being objective, but are they really?********
- This question as most in life has already been covered by Star Trek.
