Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no". It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older.

Didn't they just legalize the possibility of removing roadkill for whatever purposes the individual might see fit?

I suppose they aren't all completely dumb, Their govt still allows them to pump their own gas, but I'm not sure they should.

To be fair, there was once a silly rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition. So there are exceptions to rules, yes?

Wow.

This feels like Obama's 3rd term.

Americans scream that the US collapse is fake news and insist that the USA is a moral, free, and peaceful country with a balanced budget.

Has Trump arrested Clinton, freed Assange, opposed aid to Israel, arm sales to Saudi Arabia, trade wars, nationalizing industries, bailouts, subsidies, sanctions, debt, abortion, homosexuality, ending minimum wages, opening concentration camps, banning free speech, religious bans, and airline seat regulations?

Has Trump arrested the bankers, drained the swamp, decreased taxes, kicked out the illegal aliens, ended the Fed, ended the wars, ended welfare, ended Obamacare, and restored the Constitution?

Do you really think that security cameras, license plate readers, checkpoints, redlight cameras, speed cameras, FBI facial and voice recognition, curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, the end to the right to silence, warrantless searches, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, IMBRA, private prison quotas, no knock raids, take down notices, no fly lists, terror watch lists, Constitution free zones, stop and frisk, 3 strikes laws, kill switches, National Security Letters, DNA databases, kill lists, FBAR, FATCA, Operation Chokepoint, civil forfeiture, CIA torture, NDAA indefinite detention, secret FISA courts, FEMA camps, laws requiring passports for domestic travel, IRS laws denying passports for tax debts, gun and ammo stockpiles, laws outlawing protesting, police militarization, and Jade Helm don't exist?

Do you honestly believe that TSA groping doesn't happen?

Americans have no critical thinking skills, no knowledge about history, no personal responsibility, no ability to understand unintended consequences, and cannot see hypocrisy so all Americans can do is deny that the USA is collapsing, blame others, say Americans are just victims and nothing is their fault, and vehemently attack anyone who criticizes their beloved government overlords.

You get the feeling that a US president who hates the Bill of Rights and loves debt and war is a traitor.

You can't help thinking Americans who believe that the US isn't decaying are deluded and mentally ill.

The USA is collapsing into mass insanity.

How can Americans look in a mirror today without feeling complete disgust and shame or sleep at night?

The US feels like it is committing suicide.

The world is an Orwellian nightmare now. The US is not a democracy. The government and illegal immigrants don't obey the law. You are on camera constantly, the Gestapo is everywhere, you must give your fingerprints to drive, you are being tracked by license plate readers, you'll be groped if you travel or go to a ball game, you must wear a microchip if you go to Disneyland, you cannot use the Internet if you don't have a phone and you can't get a phone without a facial scan, everything is illegal, the government is wiretapping you, you don't have free speech, you don't have the right to remain silent, you don't have religious rights, guns are banned, the government can steal your property, the government can extrajudicially assassinate you and torture you, the government can indefinitely detain you without trial, cash is illegal, and you cannot escape because the border is closed.
