I really don't think you understand, Bernie only supported her at the end  
because literally everyone else was a worse option and the worst option,  
somehow won...


Trump is a consistent liar. People probably knew that who voted for him but  
they hated Hilary for her emails and other stupid reasons.  And yet, Trump  
was a ten times worse than her and we are just seeing how much dignity he  
has.


Bernie was the obvious choice if anyone who was a democrat actually used  
their heads to check her baggage from the republican stand point. Even though  
Hilary was somewhat dishonest, Trump was way more dishonest and he said many  
offensive things some which were not only not legal but some were down right  
filthy and decadent


Like grabbing women by their parts... and some were even war crimes like  
killing terrorists and their families and saying you have to do it... I am  
sure you can find more evidence if you hear him speak enough from the  
debates...


To be honest, the democrats have weaknesses but the republicans are in a  
totally different league of evil. So I hate to say this, but picking a side  
is so essential.


Trump should not be allowed to win another term. (assuming he doesn't get  
impeached somewhere down the road...)







[Trisquel-users] Sanders' politics weren't all that great and aren't now either

Bernie Sanders was able to raise a considerable amount of money from small 
donors and was punished for his success throughout his campaign by the US 
mainstream media. But his politics weren't all that great.


Today he evades the support he once gave universalizing single-payer 
healthcare, letting Pres. Trump set the terms for allowable debate on what 
kind of healthcare system the US should have. So instead of promoting HR676 
(universalizing Medicare) his aide says he has a "secret plan" for medical 
care delivery, a plan he won't reveal lest competition organize against 
it.[mokhiber] In October 2015 he told "Meet the Press" (a mainstream 
American news interview show) he thought drones were "a weapon" to be 
used.[sanders-drone]


That drone war support was serious business and a huge detriment for any 
progressive considering supporting his campaign for US president. In case 
anyone reading this doesn't know about this form of war, Sanders understood 
that when drone warfare kills innocents that was "terrible" but Sanders 
didn't criticize this war against the poor, he said he'd continue it.


In reality drone warfare kills far more innocent people than targets, just 
as it was intended to do, and the targets were merely suspected of 
wrongdoing. There are no charges made, evidence shown, or trials held for 
any of those suspected of wrongdoing. Targets were selected for death by 
one person (the Nobel peace prizewinning Constitutional scholar himself) in 
a series of Tuesday meetings known as "Terror Tuesday" 
meetings[terror-tuesdays] (according to the New York Times). The drone war 
is how Obama expanded the American empire's war front to Pakistan and 
Yemen, a country even George W. Bush did not attack. Christof Heyns, the UN 
special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, summary or arbitrary 
executions suggested some of Obama's attacks may constitute war 
crimes[heyns-warcrimes].


Today it seems Pres. Trump is continuing all of the Bush-Obama wars 
including drone warfare; Trump's first known choice in drone warfare was to 
use drones for cover in a raid in which Navy SEALs found and shot the 
8-year-old daughter of a previous drone victim (Anwar Awlaki); shot her in 
the neck and left her to bleed to death[trump-drone]. Obama's drone war 
assassinated the father and his 16-year-old son. The father and son were 
Americans denied their due process rights. The continuity of policy is what 
Trump's objectors ought to focus on instead of the Russophobic lies and 
partisan bickering they actually spend time on.


I can't imagine how vitriolic the reaction would be if some other country 
extrajudicially killed Americans by drones as America kills some of the 
poorest people on Earth. America needs to stop their drone killing. I think 
that by the time Bernie Sanders showed he wasn't going to criticize Hillary 
Clinton very much (even though her apparatchiks undermined his campaign and 
he knew it at the time), he in fact would "sheepdog" for her[bar-sheepdog], 
any serious progressive looked at his campaign as the latest in a pattern 
of such behavior and refused to take the Democratic Party as anything other 
than a different arm of American corporate rule.


Today, Sanders' "Our Revolution" group does not fight for Medicare for 
All[dixon-ossoff] as Sanders shows he is down with the "Deep 
State"/permanent government program to continue to give corporations real 
authority over the US.

one thing: such a moronic, overly aggressive and prematurely developed apus

morals, justice, etc ; all they seemed to respect and understand was  
violence. They had no clue about the carrot, nor did they really understand

There's a difference between focusing on specific ethnic groups for specific  
cases, and daily harassment.


Plus, speaking of economy of resources, it's more economical to monitor  
specific behaviors of any ethnicity than to swipe over large specific ethnic  
groups.

Less people to monitor, better results.

I wrote campai...@fsf.org. Asking if fsf will endorse and coordinate a "write  
amd an email" campaign? I wrote they should respond fast or not. Fsf has not  
answered.
If fsf wrote Snowden an email, he would likely respond, because he himself  
has brought up the amd libre computer matter. Snowden has a couple of million  
followers therefore connecting Snowden's name to a campaign could be  
beneficial. I think it is unlikely amd will make any one of their computers  
libre software. Even so a campaing should be made. If amd receives hundred of  
thousands of emails, it could result in amd getting in the spot. And doing  
some explaining.

The Libre Tea Card is a little difficult though considering the fact that it  
is a rolling release.


But yeah... you are right eoma68 isn't a product it is a standard which those  
devices control.


LTCC as you call it is not for beginners though.

My best guess is persay The Practically Perfect or the Numero Uno... (but do  
not enable the nonfree software repo and use linux libre!)


So really until trisquel supports arm I should just say, use libreboot!

The X200 is awesome for that purpose especially with 9 cell battery. :)

Just remember that "EOMA68" isn't our recommendation, per see, that link
that was given, without explanation, unfortunatelly causes this
confusion, so I must clarify what was the intention:

As a matter of fact "EOMA68" isn't even a product, it's a standard.

That said: That link has a list of products, some of them have "Computer
Card" in their names, for these, pick only one choice: Libre Tea
Computer Card (LTCC for short).

LTCC is the only one that we can recommend.
