Amazon Files for Patent to Have Alexa Listen to Our Conversations

Amazon Files for Patent to Have Alexa Listen to Our Conversations:  Amazon has filed for a controversial patent that could allow its Echo devices to one day listen in on our conversations in order to “assist us with user recommendations for Amazon products.”  

See, this which is precisely why, when I’m talking to Alexia, I always whisper - so Jeff Bezos can’t hear what the hell we’re talking about.  Mark my words - next, they’ll be coming out with an Alexa that constantly disagrees with you - for people who just love a good argument.  “Alexa, what’s the weather like today?”  “I don’t know.  Why don’t you get your big, fat ass off the couch, open the door and take a look outside you fat, lazy bum?”  Or how about this - “Alexa, who’s really the biggest dork, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg?”  

But, all kidding aside, these Echos must be secure.  I mean hell, its my understanding that President Trump even has one in the Oval Office…"Alexa, launch some cruise missiles toward Syria!”  Now personally, I’m totally comfortable with Alexia, but that’s because I made it perfectly clear when I brought her home - that “its gonna be my house, and my rules.”  That said, if I ever do find out my Amazon Echo has been spying on me, my next command will be “Alexa…sell yourself on eBay.”

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Trump Using Divisive Topics Like Plastic Straws to Energize Base

Trump Using Divisive Topics Like Plastic Straws to Energize Base:  Using tactics such as plastic straws, wind turbines, bogus conspiracy theories and race-baiting, White House aides freely admit that Donald Trump has been deliberately attempting to amplify public tensions in America by seizing on divisive issues as a means to energize his explosively angry base. Now, I know what some of you are thinking - you’re thinking “now this, is the last straw!”  Well, before you attack the “straw man,” remember that Donald Trump was that kid in school who thought it was simply hilarious to jam two straws up his nostrils.  Straws were an important part of Donald’s childhood, so it shouldn’t be a big surprise they remain so today.     What all you “elites" don’t understand is that Trump folks are all about fighting for “freedom.”  You know, the freedom to be morbidly obese, the freedom to destroy the environment, the freedom to live without affordable healt...

Trump Commutes Old Pal Roger Stone's Sentence

Trump Commutes Old Pal Roger Stone's Sentence:   After declaring Roger Stone a victim of the “Russia hoax” perpetuated by the Left and its allies in the media, President Trump has commuted the three-year prison criminal sentence for the Republican operative and dirty trickster, who was due to report to federal prison on Tuesday after being found guilty of obstruction, witness tampering and lying to Congress. Good grief, is it my imagination, or has Trump actually just pardoned the real-life version of the Monopoly guy?  I mean, Stone is a villain right out of Charles Dickens.  Why, this is an act so corrupt, it’s almost enough to make Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin blush. Now, I’m no legal expert, but it appears what the Trump Administration is basically arguing is that - someone shouldn’t be punished for committing a crime which “they really should’ve gotten away with.”  And while that may sound a bit odd to the rest of us, that kind of thinking makes go...
