Has been a 3 ring circus. Would not have mattered which candidate won it either. Only difference would have been if Hillary had won, she could have borrowed Bill's "black book" and got some stuff done. Clinton was last Pres who had the "power" to get things done across both sides of the floor(s) in congress. Mid terms will be like a freekin war zone, anyone thought politics was dirty this last election best stand by for heavy rolls, because it will get nasty. I've attempted to watch House of Cards recently. It's not worth the bother. the real thing is much more interesting. the midterms as you say will be a bloodbath & the Dems have a good chance of wresting back some power. I just hope that this crap we've been through will bring some candidates that are crusaders. We get them every once in while, but seems to me the time is right for a few in congress that are there for the people an not for their wallets. Though in all honesty, I'm about convinced it has gotten so far out of hand it is going to need to be freekin cremated and re-done from scratch at some point. Bring back the barter system! |

The whole "repeal and replace" of ObamaCare fiasco was the wheels coming off the Trump express. He truly has no idea how gov't works, and now that the Democrats have grown a spine, they are looking hungrily towards the 2018 midterm elections. Trump's agenda is dead. Executive orders can only do so much. He's signed something like 70 of them in the first few weeks and all but a handful do nothing. Congress still writes legislation, not the executive branch. But the bigger point is that the Republicans were hanging on Trump's coattails hoping to push through some anti-gov't legislation, and now they've failed. I doubt they regroup.

Internet privacy has never really been a thing in the way people think it has - its only been noticed because people have mentioned that governments are spying.
NSA and GCHQ have been monitoring web traffic for many years, Look at the recent security flaws in Zyxel routers that wasn't patched for ages. Heuawi have open backdoors for the Chinese gov to get into routers also.
I'm not however saying I'm happy about that fact.
In regards to the comment by redcase, its not really internet privacy thats the issue its that ISP's will be able to sell your browsing history to 3rd parties now which In reality is something that cookies do anyway - hence targeted ads. I'm not sure what a company would want to do with my porn browsing history though.
People can get around this by setting up a VPN to route internet traffic over a server that does not log data but even that will still show something (IP's etc).

I can't see it on the website but it doesn't mention if they keep logs of the traffic you send. www.privateinternetaccess.com/ for example states that it does not log traffic. I would go down the route of building a VPN into my router but I don't use a pfsense router anymore. |

They don't keep server logs and there's no speed throttling, plus they have a blacklist of phishing sites automatically blocked. $40 per year, supports 5 devices. |

I Saw that Spotflux Lite in my Google Chrome Extensions once and installed it, it then stopped me from coming into RoM and a couple of other forums saying "This forum could not be found" so I just disabled and binned it from Google Chrome and I could log into here again and the other forums? |

Speaking of VPN's I've never used them but had a warning letter about scouse borrowing so may look into that avenue for the future.

Aye, that's the first thing that crossed my mind as ProBoards do advertise, looks good, though. |
