In those days - before caller-id the worse we had to fear was someone calling to sell life insurance once a week now we have to worry about 10 million 'spam' calls a second; time change.

I still find it ludicrous that they have not closed the flaws making spoofing Caller ID possible. The telecoms can dress it up however they want, but to me there's no valid reason to allow spoofing.

Back then, you needed an actual person to dial numbers and talk to someone to try to scam them or sell them something. In today's technological world, sending out billions of spam calls, texts, or emails is automated and relatively cheap. Needless to say, the barrier to entry is minuscule compared to the potential profits.

Yea there are tons of flaws in our network - well known flaws; some can be fixed for 1/2 $ and others would take $$$$ but the bottom line is ceo want a few extra bucks on their pay check rather than spending a few bucks to fix obvious flaws.... that's life and it tells you a lot about americans. Hey look at what happened to Texas a couple of winters ago; and their response was we rather freeze to death than be regulated.... - well their political response... sort of like when age 60+ blue collar workers vote for folks who will take away their social security... that's america.

I'm old enough to remember the pre-caller ID days, when people would just answer their home phone with literally no clue who it is. Is it meemaw? Someone selling life insurance? Your doctor calling with those test results? Let's find out!

Madness.

Yup, sadly we need to bring back long distance charges even for VOIP calls or at least add a connection fee. Make bulk callers have some skin in the game.

It certainly means nothing, because we are over a year away from the election and young people hate phone calls.

Nothing. These polls mean nothing.

He's saying millennials and Gen Z would rather fellate a beehive than pick up a phonecall from an unknown number, so polls at this point do not reflect a proper population sample.

I ask again ... obstruction of Justice?


Georgia Republicans Take Emergency Action on Trump Indictment​

Republican state Senator Colton Moore called on the state's GOP governor to convene a special session to investigate the lead prosecutor.

Fact Check: Could Georgia Shut Down Fani Willis' Trump Investigation?​

Donald Trump's indictment could be "shut down tomorrow" by Georgia's state legislature, one conservative commentator has claimed.

So, the Georgia Senate has removed this guy for sort of what I said ... attempt to obstruct justice. Some articles say suspended, some say removed, some say ousted. I'm not really sure if he's been expelled from the Legislature or not.

Impressive - they actually have some integrity in Georgia; unlike Florida and Tennessee.

Whoa Georgia potentially offering a plea deal to Cheesy and Kracken. How much are they willing to give to avoid showing their hand to the others charged

Was live on TV. But it’s unlikely. Cheesy wants all charges dropped. But again, if they can avoid trial to show all the evidence, who knows.

Fani Willis accuses Jim Jordan of ‘abusing’ his authority on Trump’s Georgia trial

He'll just blow it off, like his subpoena to testify before the Jan. 6 committee on his treason.

He'll blow it off, until S.W.A.T. throws a flashbang through his window and drags his ass out in cuffs wearing his underwear.

An arrest warrant, is NOT a subpoena to show up somewhere.

If Jordan crosses the line she will. He is a giant X on his back; however his 'obstruction' is probably not serious enough for an actual conviction at this point.

Congress critters have amazing protections on their speech. Just saying.
