  1. Re:Oh boy on Hillary Clinton Chooses Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine As Running Mate (go.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Like Mr. Clinton and Carter before him, the democrats have confirmed that the party is not nearly so "liberal" as the weenies like to think. About half of them are every bit as conservative as the republicans, more so if you check deeply at all into their past. They keep a "liberal" faction so those people don't go off and form an alternative party and take their money with them. That is what Sanders' function was during this year's primaries, and it works like a charm every time. How many independents do you think will win congressional seats this year? My money is on zero. And if one or two do win, they will do like Lieberman (and Sanders) did and caucus with the party that provides the biggest rewards. The democrats run a much more deceptive game than the republicans do because they have to. And now it takes a man like Trump to push votes their way, because they put forth such weak, even false "opposition".

    Cyanogen Inc is turning into just another Wall Street hedge fund like Uber and Pokemon, whose main business will be in the derivatives markets. "Android applications" is irrelevant to the portfolio. Lots of weird shit happening in the markets. I wonder if if all this "capitalization" is nothing a setup for a big crash (correction, amirite?) this fall. Might be a good idea to cash out by the end of August, and then pick up some good bargains in December.

  3. Just as good. Who wants the liability and maintenance headaches of owning a car anymore, especially when they go autonomous? With all the cameras and road rage out there, you just can't have fun anymore, except on the track. It's better to make them into a throwaway appliance.

    If you need a vehicle, just get a 1970 3/4 ton Chevy out of the boneyard and put a sign on it saying, "Go rent a U-Haul you cheap bastard!" to warn off your neighbors.

    Well, yeah, if you're looking for what is actually a lesser evil.

    He may or may not be an actual libertarian, but he got himself on the ballot in all 50 states. The anti Trump people can make good use of that without sacrificing their character by voting for Clinton. And if he gets enough votes, they can't lock the party out of future debates. I mean, they can, but suddenly changing the rules would be a pretty bad PR move.

    Let's hope he starts raising his voice once the conventions are finished and the two bettas start going after each other, and then like SPECTRE, he strikes.

    Yes, it appears to be that way by design. I believe the intention there is to keep congress as close to 50/50 as possible to make it easier to pass blame back and forth in a game that is called "rotating villain", which came to the forefront during passage of "Obamacare" and removal of the single payer option. In other words, the democrats threw the 2010 midterm elections, and they are doing the exact same thing now.

    Regardless of the results for the presidency, congress should be able to maintain their 95% reelection rate. SNAFU

    The democrats need Trump even more. D.C. would be awash with republicans without the fear factor he provides for the dems.

    On the contrary. Civil asset forfeiture, as evil as it is, would have a much greater effect. In fact, this is exactly the kind of thing it is supposed to be used for. Tattooing "I am a thief" on their foreheads would be a nice supplementary measure to make sure that nobody forgets.
