  1. That was supposed to be a way to sugar coat the poison pill, and a means to silence her critics with accusations of sexism while they themselves sexually discriminated.

    No, as usual follow the money.

    As for superdelegates I think you answered your own question.

  2. Trump is not a criminal target of the investigation.

    So now I'm wondering how unusual it is to have a general warrant on a sitting president, culminating to a raid of Trump's attorney, breaching attorney client privilege.

    The DNC and their media lapdogs have been running with this collusion narrative for over a year, it has not resulted in impeachment, so now it is time to try to at least reap something from what they've sown in preparation for November.

    I'm glad they are pulling this stunt. It's time once more to point out that the source of the DNC hacking narrative, their email server, was never subjected to an independent third party security audit, nor was it ever turned over to the FBI.

  3. You left off the DNC's allies in the media as well, especially the constant barrage of negative coverage by the Washington Post.

    A DNC funded by Clinton is going to use their associated sock puppets for her benefit.

  4. Re:NOT Global Warming!!!! on Since 2016, Half of All Coral In the Great Barrier Reef Has Died (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. Researchers are tracking warm water conditions, and directly observing corals bleaching and subsequently dying off as a result of sustained higher temperatures on average.

    Agricultural pollution is at best a correlation to the world wide decline of the corals.

    Nice attempt at FUD though. Extra points for caps abuse and intelligence insults.

  5. Chasing Coral is a 2017 documentary on Netflix specifically about the coral bleaching occurring at the Barrier Reef, and around the world. The aim of the researchers is to capture on time lapse camera a bleaching event.

    Seeing the destruction of these ecosystems was difficult to watch.

    I don't know why someone would think SV would be in touch with reality. Intelligence doesn't solve cognitive biases.

    A google map view of churches in the SV area would seem to support this. No matter where on earth, people are willing to allow others to define reality for them.

    It is this phenomenon of group think, cognitive biases, and active suppression of sources of cognitive dissonance that makes me appreciate freedom of speech so much. It is through it that established truths, and people's reality bubbles can be questioned.

    Having a settled world view is surely the easiest way to fall into a mental snare and not even realize it.

    That's some great logic.

    Oh, and overuse of playing the victim card is another trait of a SJW. Yes, that was a microaggression.

  13. The right wing extremists have a bit of catching up to do then, it seems. I haven't observed any right-wing extremists shutting down political rallies, smashing storefronts, or shouting down public speakers on campus lately.

    TFA states roughly 7k documents were downloaded, and of those there was 250 with unredacted information.

    It is true that most of the documents were not private. A roughly %3 figure of the total means it is also true that nearly all of the documents were not private, and would be easy to overlook that any private data was even downloaded. Especially if he was operating under the assumption that all of the sensitive information was already redacted.

    This is what I think is more likely.

    Suit#1: Someone found a design flaw in the public documents portal that makes us look completely incompetent, and downloaded our data.

    Suit#2: Who?

    Suit#1: Some kid, who happens to be Canadian.

    Suit#2: Well, he's within our reach then. So let's make an example of him, instead of the usual cover up. Let's put on a show by raiding his home with a battalion of officers, and drag him to court under trumped up charges. We'll exaggerate the crime so much that we don't appear to be at fault.

    Suit#1: Hmm. We can call him a hacker and use broadly defined and poorly written statutes to paint him as a criminal. We'll look like we're being tough on crime while sending a message not to screw with us.

    Suit#2: Exactly. What could go wrong.

    I hope YT continues to screw over content creators. The best thing that could happen would be if that SJW feminist CEO Susan Wojcicki, who is worth nearly half a billion dollars as she cheats content producers out of income, drops policy bombs until there is a mass revolt.

    It isn't that I want to see such a marvel of a marketplace of ideas burn; it would just be preferable to a death by a thousand cuts in having the producers disperse. A new platform that protects free speech, that promotes content fairly, and is not capricious in dealing with content producers is required. I would gladly pay to access that.

  17. Bait and switch is indeed a poor business model, but it does work if your company has a secure monopoly position.

  18. No, we just charge them under the espionage act.

    I'm not so sure Micheal Hasting's death was just an accident, either.

  19. So even more moving parts, which can be affected by freezing conditions and electrolysis.

    This is turning out to be a really amazing system.

  20. Doesn't mean that wireless charging isn't the best tradeoff between convenience and functionality and reliability, either. Sometimes even the most simple and direct solution turns out to be more complicated, as I'm sure this test track will soon demonstrate.

    Wireless brou-ha-ha... I hope you wrote that from a mobile device. :)

    Justice Democrats are have been overrun from the onset by third wave feminists. The platform they run on is agreeable, but hypersensitive political correctness and purity tests need to stop. More like SJW Democrats and we have enough of that already.

    Good luck trying to salvage the Democratic party, and trying to play by their own rules when they can't even live up to their namesake. That knife sticking in your back is gonna feel great.

    You're only looking at one side of the story.

    The primaries in the south were looming, so those BLM bitches were sent there for a reason. It was a catch-22 that could only have been avoided by not underestimating the kind of treachery that his opponents would use. Having them dragged kicking and screaming and making a scene would only have been used to frame Sanders as a racist hypocrite who didn't really care about the plight of blacks, etc.

    Grayson laughed at Ben Bernanke's answers while questioning him about the Fed during a congressional hearing. That's probably why you haven't heard or seen much of him.

  23. Depends how you define "better". Wireless charging is usually much less efficient.

    What is worse, somewhat more inefficient, or not working at all?

    What happens as soon as a bit of road debris is left to accumulate in the tracks, which causes the vehicle contact to become damaged and disfunctional? At least a large inductive coil buried under asphalt would be protected and not require moving parts.

  24. OP is alluding to the same kind of editorial bias that led to story after story ad nauseaum of Russia collusion.

    Likewise with the 'Cambridge Analystics' scandal there is a political objective at work. You don't have to agree or approve or support one side or the other to at least recognize that this occurs.

  25. Indeed it is a very selective outrage.

    The lever pullers, the 'trending' curators and the talking points writers have decided Facebook is problematic for supplying voter data to the enemy. You aren't going to find Google doing that, and Facebook is either with them, or against them.
