  1. Trump is completely context free.

    but he speaks his mind

    Yeah, people have been noticing that. At first I thought it was just an anti-politically-correct spiel, the line between being Politically Correct and Pissing off the Pope that fine, and now I'm not so sure. I don't disagree with the meat of what he's saying, but he doesn't have to be so unnecessarily imflamatory and he needs to give himself room to escalate and de-escalate as conditions vary.

    There is Nothing Hillary can say or do will sway Trump Supporters period. There is Nothing Trump can say or do will sway Clinton Supporters period. I don't think either can win with just their supporters so the fight is going to be over the undecided and keeping the "Lean toward one due to the lesser of two evils" leaning the right way and to lesser getting the Bernistas to fall in line.
    Getting the leaning towards and undecided is the sweet spot, that's why in every election the true dyed-in-the-wool supporters feel betrayed.

  3. Which HE; Putin, Trump, Hillary or Michelle?

  4. Why? The Russian government got what DNC has about Trump to be able to counter any arguments preemptively.
    It is pretty evident that Russia supports Trump. I have no idea why but any propaganda from Russia so far have been in Trumps favor.

    No proof but it's not rocket-science to realise that

    1. Russia some pretty serious problems with Muslim Wahhabist Terrorists. Russia has a Muslim majority Counties on it's boarders (12,577 mi of boarders) Kazakhstan and a Muslim population in Azerbaijan, Other countries with significant Muslim population only one Country away include Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

    2. Under the Obama (as POTUS) - Clinton (as SoS) the Wahhabists which includes the House of Saud, have greatly increased their power and influence. Russia has significant oil-gas reserves and petro-exports are a significant portion of the Russian economy so the Saudis are a competitors as well.

    3. The Saudis have bragged about having financed 20% of Clinton's Campaign, in addition to contributions to The Clinton Foundation. This makes Hillary seem available to the highest bidder and Russia's pockets are very shallow right now.

    4. Deep down inside Trump is a negotiator even though He talks Iconoclast vs. Clinton who talks negotiator but deep down is an iconoclast; so Trump can be worked with, Clinton not so much.

    5. Personally I think Putin just plain hates Obama as a pussy-whipped piece of apologist shit and Clinton as a ball-busting Feminist Lesbian who doesn't know her place.

    The worse that can happen to Russia with Trump in office is they'll have to put their expansion on hold for 8 years and the best is the need for buffer countries on their boarders will greatly diminish due to the US breaking the back of the terrorists or becoming the sole lightning rod.

  5. That would be a sexpot, not a honeypot.

  6. Could someone force the dweeb who set the server up into giving away all the credentials? Definitely, yes. You would be surprised what you can be talked into, when someone is holding a blowtorch to your balls.

    Trump is a Democrat, he's just running as a Republican because he's too much an old school Conservative Democrat to get any traction in today's Liberal-Progressive Democratic Party. JFK couldn't get nominated for Dog Catcher in today's Democratic Party.

    Jill Stien, Presidential Candidate for the Green party said "Trump says terrible things, but Clinton does terrible things." I tend to agree Trump is an unknown and we have no idea how much is bullshit and what he intend to try and accomplish; we know Clinton's record. I'm pretty sure this is going to be the election where a third party candidate is who I'll be voting for.

    More than likely voting for either Trump or Clinton will really be vote for who is running for Vice-President.

    Considering that Snowden revealed that the Good 'ol Boys at the NSA were using Government resources to check up on their Girl Friends, I'm sure there isn't much that they don't have on the Clintons; especially since the KGB and Wikileaks have it. The NSA has a computer security mission, I'm sure more than a few "unannounced security audits" on Clinton's Email server, and anything classified or potentially blackmail material was retrieved for further threat analysis.

    These feedback loops are included in climate models. No one pretends that we fully understand them or model them exactly, but people have put a lot of thought into them and have a decent grasp of their workings.

    Well they are pretty good at hindcasting, none have demonstrated any ability to forecast, so it seems reasonable to assume They underestimate their lack of understanding and overestimate their decent grasp. Many of those feedbacks aren't modelled at all and are entered as assumed parameters.

    It's not a good way to get existing CO2 levels down.

    Sure it is, the imbalance of what CO2 is released from all sources and what is Absorbed is about 6Gt, Anthropogenic emissions are 29Gt so a little will go a long way. If the rest of the world matches our reductions and the Net Primary Production keeps going up and we sequester a bit the Alarmist are going to have to find a new "End of the World" to complain about.

Its not that a single sign-on is bad, hell Google, Bing and Facebook seem to know who I am; I search for something on Google using my work account, then the next day my personal Facebook is plastered with sponsored ads for the same thing. An Amazon search means every other website has ads for the same thing, so they don't have any trouble knowing who I am, even across devices. It just seems weird to me that the Europeans that are so paranoid about Browser cookies, would even consider connecting a National ID card to their internet identities. Also it's redundant, if the big guys can nail me down so well why add another layer and if they really do need another layer, what's wrong with OpenID?

    When you get Governments involved, they always seem to think if we can do this we can do this other thing that's just a little over the line and get away with it because its "for the children" or "to Stop terrorism" and the next thing you know everybody skiing the slippery slope. Look at civil forfeitures, They went from confiscating $50.000.00 cars that 16 year old drug dealers paid cash for to confiscating the gate receipts of Christian bands in a few years.

  23. ... Britain thinks that a Brexit would cost Britain millions and billions of pounds.

    I'm a Yank so take it with a grain of salt, but you said billions of Pounds, not billions of Euros. If I browse a Brit E-commerce site, they always list Prices in Pounds first and Euros second or not at all. British woodworkers all seem to think in inches as easily as cm and drivers talk first in miles not Km. I don't think your hearts are really in this EU thing, its more like an old married couple who are still married because of inertia, rather than because they have a marriage.
