    The FBI's actions are a repeat of the McCarthyism era - coercion, intimidation and deceit.
    McCarthy was a national hero. 
    Uh, sure...if you think attacking military heroes in the 1953 Army-McCarthy hearings, which caused a massive public backlash against McCarthy and turned up not a single communist spy, and a subsequent bipartisan 67 to 22 Senate vote of condemnation for "conduct unbecoming" makes him a "national hero". McCarthy's Gallup Poll approval ratings went from 50% to 34% by June of that year. Maybe you have some internal definition of hero that no one else shares.

    ...I am sorry if you have a problem with reality and facts. 

    Much like your "I only know what's on the internet" friend with the tiny little hands and tiny little feet and tiny little brain goin' tweet, tweet, tweet....but that doesn't seem to bother you for some reason.

    Apple has likely erased the source code for iOS 8 when it released iOS 9. And portions of iOS may belong to non-US Apple international subsidiaries, where US judicial system orders have no validity (jurisdiction). Oops...
    No, that would all be archived. Nothing can ever be erased for legal and quality system reasons.

    You know I think we have descended to the 1960s  as in Trump's  tag line of Make America great again. What does that mean? Back to racial discrimination, the Cold War, the depression, World War II. What exactually is the period in US history do you want to return to? I have no dog in this race since I have investments, property, annuities, stocks, international healthcare, a couple businesses, property in other countries, the eventual expectation of social security and Medicare, but I'm going to go out on limb and suggest that Trump will be assinated even before he becomes the GOP candidate in the general election.
    It means "Make America White Again". Anyone thinking otherwise needs therapy.

    The government thinks you are very stupid, that's why they have manipulated the truth like telling you the unemployment rate is only 5% when there are over 90 million people out of the workforce and not looking for work. Only an idiot would believe the current unemployment numbers. All you need is this example for incontrovertible proof they don't think - but know most people never question their lies.
    90 Million unemployed, huh? Stop repeating ancient right wing "factoids". Of the 90 million Americans who do not work, 9 million are high school age, 21 million are enrolled in college, and 40 million are retired--you know, from WORKING. That leaves 20 million who would be likely in the job market. Source: Politifact.com, numbers from 2013.
