    I'm guessing I need to put in a laugh track. I usually turn off the automatic updates, including the time. *Paranoia strikes deep* You'd be amazed at how sloppy these crystals in our machines are at keeping time. 60 cycle hum is more accurate.

    And the religious I know don't believe in global warming, sea level rise, or any of that "liberal claptrap" at all, and are actively seeking the end of the world.

    Then wouldn't it be sensible to sell them beach front property at bargain basement prices? We can just settle back a few miles for the new beach to come to us. Win-win, no?

    How do you pardon someone who has been indicted but not convicted?

    Um, Nixon? He wasn't even indicted. Ford pardoned him. He resigned to avoid risking his pension and other bennies, like taking the plea and admitting no wrongdoing. And it didn't take long for Saint Ronnie to rebuild the old facade.

    You seem to think that people care. They don't. They will elect the worst of the worst if there's something in it for them. That is what keeps the crooked incumbents in office for 30 years plus. And notice how the fanbois on both sides dig in their heels when they feel they are under attack. Right now the facts mean squat. It is pure animal tribalism at play. And we are once again repeating history, showing how little we have advanced from the primordial soup. Clinton and Trump are ahead of the pack for perfectly natural reasons. Any so called human 'morality' is totally nonexistent, aside from the theatrics to control the population.

    Clinton's delegate count includes superdelegates

    That's what locks it up for her. Nobody's going to make wakes. With an indictment comes an immediate pardon. And besides, she is still winning the regular delegate count also. Your media polls are garbage. Only the real votes matter.

    The brokered convention may happen on the republican side, and Trump may go independent, another plus for Clinton. His function is to scare people into voting for her. Sander's function is to herd more money into the DNC. If Hillary has to drop out, watch for Biden to reemerge.

    You probably should keep an eye on congress. That is where the real fight is. And things don't look good there at all. It's still all democrats and republicans. Not a single independent in sight.

    In the U.S. it is extremely accurate. Any analog clock with a regular synchronous motor or digital driven by line frequency will keep near perfect time if the power doesn't cut off.

    It just means they don't want to share.

    Whatever they harvest and keep they will have to share if the government says so. And if they don't keep it, the government can order them to do that also, with a gag order. The only way out is for the company to dissolve so the government doesn't have a target to sanction or an executive to arrest.

    The good parts are in standardization. Everyone works under the same rules, using the same measurements. It's like an interstate commerce clause thing amongst economic empires that transcend political boundaries. The problems are in who sets the standards. The 'victims' have no voice while the rules are being set by the biggest merchants. Our failure to oversee the government will result in its ratification.

    Any member of Congress that approves this "treaty" should be impeached, jailed, banished, or some other nice form of punishment for treason.

    Voting them out is sufficient. Their reelection is the treason, committed by the voters. Only the desire for favoritism can justify the reelection of corrupt politicians.
