😍 Discovered: Sloppy Steve's crushing "Goodbye" to his boss & his dream

Peelings & Feelings

I peeled away each fold of you,
And reached your core so loving, true.

And dwelled with you for months on end,
And hoped o'r love would never end.

And in that state of joyfulness,I wished o'r love would never end.

And so it happened that you one day,
Began to shroud your heart so gay.

And what had tendered me much glee, Was now cloaked far so far from me.

California AG calls on Zinke to remove state from offshore drilling expansion

California AG calls on Zinke to remove state from offshore drilling expansion

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) called on Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to remove the state from a planned offshore drilling expansion Tuesday after Zinke removed Florida from the proposed policy.

"California is also 'unique' & our 'coasts are heavily reliant on tourism as an economic driver,'" Becerra tweeted. "Our 'local and state voice' is firmly opposed to any and all offshore drilling."

"If that's your standard, we, too, should be removed from your list. Immediately," the California official wrote.


Zinke announced Tuesday that he wouldn't allow offshore drilling in waters near Florida after meeting with Gov. Rick Scott (R) to discuss the governor's objections to the policy.

Zinke said in a statement.
"I support the governor's position that Florida is unique and its coasts are heavily reliant on tourism as an economic driver,"
he continued.


Other coastal states are also making the same claim.

Susan Collins' attempt at redemption - Net Neutrality

https://twitter.com/StevenTDennis/status/950853267839385601?s=17

Replying to @StevenTDennis
Keep in mind in much of Maine - including the rural area where Susan Collins lives - there are few or no choices of broadband providers. At mercy of local cable company.

Passing a resolution with 51 votes would be mostly a symbolic victory unless Trump goes against his own FCC and House GOP leadership folds.

If resolution gets to Trump's desk, he can veto; takes 2/3rds to overturn. Hard to get to 67/~291.

BUT this is an issue that has energized voters. Schumer sees it as major 2018 campaign issue and wants Rs on record on whether telcos can charge more for different Internet uses. Says Millenials - who helped elect Doug Jones - have flooded Senators on the issue.

Net neutrality vote probably won't happen for several months - plenty of time for both sides to lobby. Some of the biggest corporations on Earth on opposite sides of the issue.

New sabotage laws for cyber attacks on Australia's critical infrastructure"

"For the first time, sabotage will include planting a device or piece of computer code that can be used to damage Australia's national security. "

*From the Article at The Sydney Morning Herald
https://amp.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/new-sabotage-laws-for-cyber-attacks-on-australias-critical-infrastructure-20171207-h00oc2.html?__twitter_impression=true



New sabotage laws for cyber attacks on Australia's critical infrastructure

Sabotage laws will be modernised to cover all major critical infrastructure including utilities; key transport facilities such as ports; and healthcare infrastructure, including the Medicare computer system.

For the first time, sabotage will include planting a device or piece of computer code that can be used to damage Australia's national security or a piece of critical infrastructure. Doing so deliberately will carry a jail term of up to 15 years.

Attorney-General George Brandis said the sabotage changes to the Criminal Code would "transform an outdated wartime law into world-leading provisions crafted to protect Australia's national critical infrastructure in the digital age".

The Turnbull government's package of foreign interference laws – which were set to be introduced to Parliament on Thursday afternoon – will also include a transparency scheme under which people or organisations who legitimately try to influence politics on behalf of a foreign power will need to register on a public list.

SNIP
...the new laws were important in emphasising the motivation and intention of attackers, meaning they could be prosecuted as saboteurs rather than just hackers.

The laws should also make it easier for authorities to chase foreign-backed attackers who were overseas, though the government would need to keep improving co-operation with other governments to make that effective, she said.

Twitter Rips Hillary-Bashing Susan Sarandon For Women-Unite Speech At Golden Globes

Twitter Rips Hillary-Bashing Susan Sarandon For Women-Unite Speech At Golden Globes
Susan Sarandon is presenting Best Actor because we all know how much she hates the thought of a woman winning.”

Twitter jeered actress Susan Sarandon during Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony that cheered female empowerment amid Hollywood’s sexual misconduct scandal.
Her praise for “all these women standing up for each other” revived hard feelings, because Sarandon supported Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic race for president, then voted for third-party candidate Jill Stein instead of Clinton in the general election against Donald Trump.

@trevordorn
Boy that was infuriating when Susan Sarandon stood there championing women while she did everything she could to sabotage Hillary. #GoldenGlobes

9:58 PM - Jan 7, 2018


People also went after Sarandon for what some deemed to be dismissive comments about the sexual misconduct accusations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and director James Toback.

--------------------

Sarandon looked like the total opportunistic fraud she is standing on stage last night.
Twitter responses demonstrate the truth of that.

She used her celebrity to destroy the woman who actually has spent her lifetime walking the walk of human rights.

Sarandon drips with self promotion.

Thanks for people speaking out & not allowing her to now show up as some champion of women's rights.

Her glaring hypocrisy makes a lot of people want to vomit .
Glad to see this on the news today. Calling out those who speak with no sincerity behind their self promoting intent

"The attorney general wanted one negative article a day in the news media about Mr. Comey,"


What's the legal terminology for this?
