Oh, fuck off. I've seen people on your side demonizing every single republican candidate in my life, the same way you're doing to Trump right now. Trump isn't Hitler, any more than Obama is Mao Tse Tung. Get a grip, and get your fucking meds adjusted.
If you believe that Assange backstabbed you, then I must conclude that you are either a corrupt politician, or a minion of a corrupt politician. Either way, FUCK YOU.
WHY is this not being allowed for in predictive models?
What are these "predictive models" of which you speak? The only models I'm hearing about are the ones that have been overestimating temperatures for the last two decades.
Not clear that she's going to get a pardon. If she'd won, she could have bought a pardon from the current teleprompter-in-chief in exchange for a "job" with the Clinton Foundation. Now, he's got to weigh the cost of giving her a pardon. It would make a major dent in his reputation.
She doesn't need to be locked up for her influence-peddling career to be over. Hillary and Bubba got a couple hundred million by selling bribes on spec against the contingency that she'd get the white house. Well, she's just failed to deliver, and the people who paid to play aren't too happy about where their money went.
If the party had rallied around Bernie Sanders, Trump would have lost.
Nah. Bernie is a commie rat bastard, and the country isn't quite ready to vote for bread lines. The Bernie Bros had more enthusiasm than Hillary's Harpies, but they wouldn't have changed the outcome.
Now, if the Democrats had nominated a decent human being, it would be a different story. If they want a landslide next time, they could nominate Ellen DeGeneres, for example.
Reagan is why I'm not a Republican. He railed against Carter reinstating draft registration, and then did fuck-all about ending it when he was in office. Rather like the way Obama reneged on his promise to end the PATRIOT act and Bush's other unconstitutional power-grabs.
1) Both the Bush and Clinton crime families are finished. They will never hold any power in either side of the Ruling Party again. 2) Trump is ego driven. He has no actual policy agenda. 3) Trey Gowdy might actually have enough integrity to prosecute criminals from both sides of the Ruling Party. Obama gave Bush's minions a walk as a professional courtesy. 4) This defeat is an opportunity for the Democrats to clean house, big time. (Not that I really expect them to do so, but still.)
Trump is coming into office in the midst of yet another bubble from the Fed. That bubble's going to burst sooner or later, and they can make it happen tomorrow if they want, simply by stopping inflation. The correction that follows is necessary, but you can bet that the left will try to blame it on the Republicans.
Can a hyperloop track be as simple as lengths of standard concrete pipe? Obviously alignment would be critical, but I'm wondering if the track could be relatively cheap.
It's because our government is not only wasting trillions of dollars on the DoD, but also the fact that the engineers working on this shit aren't working on things that provide any benefit to civilians.
If it really does work (and extraordinary claims do require extraordinary proof) we have absolutely no idea how.
When I first heard about it, what sprung to mind was some kind of interaction with the earth's magnetic field. If that's the case, then no known laws of physics are violated. It would also mean of course that its usefulness in interplanetary space would depend on how much force could be exerted by the sun's magnetic field.
And if it's real, then once physicists have figured out how it work, they can get busy on increasing its efficiency. Getting to Mars in a week or Titan in a month vastly changes the economics of human expansion through the solar system.

almost 30% of the world's carbon emissions come from China.
Nope.
Human activity only accounts for a bit over 3% of the CO2 in the world.

I've never been a democrat, dumbass. There was no "turning" from that brand of the Ruling Party for me.

Making all kinds of assumptions there, sparky. Has it crossed your mind that the Giant Douche and the Turd Sandwich were not our only options?

But wait! Hes going to fix all that right?
Of course not. Presidents have no power to override the Federal Reserve.
