    It does appear that way. I get the feeling that when it's all over Trump is going back to TV bigger than ever.

    I hope you haven't been reading those e-mails. Those are stolen and that makes you an accessory after the fact. Don't wait for the FBI to batter your door down, go turn yourself in.

    Actually, it was the FTC. But as you say it hardly mattered, it could just as well been the FBI, NSA or EPA for all the fucking difference it made. They donate millions of dollars to get what they need done.

    I can't deny it. As I said, even though now I benefit I feel that eventually it will still end badly.

    What seems to work best is paying the warlords cash to deliver the food. It's a crazy world.

    Production of food is not the problem. The problem is getting it to where it's needed. Often the worst famines have nothing to do with not enough but with inadequate distribution, often due to war. Many times food that is delivered by charities is taken over by warlords who then profit on it.

    I subscribe to DirecTV and have for years. I opposed the buyout from AT&T going so far as to write the FCC and my congressman. I have to say though that so far at least it hasn't been bad. I have an AT&T cell phone as that is the only major carrier that works in my area and now I can watch anything on DirecTV on my phone with no data charges. I can program my DVR from the app on my phone anywhere which is handy. I'm still leery of big conglomerates becoming monopolies but with proper oversight it could have advantages. Then again, given how lobbyists write legislation nowadays I have a feeling it's going to end badly.

    I loved the dinner the other night where Trump and Clinton roasted each other. I thought the best line was the one where he said he enjoyed meeting the leaders of her campaign team Then he began pointing out the heads of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and the New York Times. Even the people that hated him laughed loudly.

    Exactly. We should trust our betters that know what we need and make sure that bad things like populism never happen here. Imagine if the ignorant and deplorable people were allowed to take over the government. It would be the end.

    I believe that most of the really sophisticated strategic weapons do not use GPS. They use inertial navigation with highly accurate and terribly expensive gyros that enable accuracy to within 30 feet or so at distances of thousands of miles. Only a few nations have such weapons however so this system is probably aimed at terrorists or some lesser opponent.

    You mean the militants that use roadside bombs because the only people they will try to kill in person are women and children? Those fuckers drop their guns and melt into the population when the marines show up. They use children as human shields because they know we try like hell to avoid collateral damage and killing the innocent. When the US occasionally fucks up the innocent often do die but to ISIS and Hamas and other similar bastards there are no innocents. To their hate filled minds everyone is a target and the weak and helpless are their very favorite victims. The US military isn't afraid of shit. All those guys are volunteers in an age when they know without a doubt they'll see combat. The problem is their opponents are cowards that hide like cockroaches and have to be rooted out of their hiding places. The "militants" are nothing more than the scum of the earth that victimize their own people more than their proclaimed enemy. In truth they are the enemy of all civilized society.

    You seem to think that Hilliary is like us nothings. Let me explain so that even an AC like you can understand. People like Hilliary, and for those partisan liberals out there I will include Dick Cheney, are not the same as us. They are our betters. Elite and enlightened people who are special and not subject to such mundane things as laws. Try to understand that you have no right to question or object to these superior individuals.

    I know how they work. He stated that he didn't have a "high enough clearance" to read the damn things. I don't know what it was or what classification it was as he couldn't even really talk about what little they let him know about it. Evidently Mrs. Clinton didn't know how they work. I expect her briefing got pencil whipped.

    I understand that. That hardly means they don't want the Billions of Dollars they get from Macs.

    Hopefully he'll have the good sense to use the White House IT staff for his government email in the unlikely event he's elected. Mrs. Clinton didn't avail herself of the professional IT available to her because she wanted control over her email since she was conducting business and personal as one.

    House Chairman on the intelligence committee has a very high clearance and there were many of the documents that even he wasn't cleared for. The fact that she had highly classified material on the private server is indisputable. The only dispute is whether it was a crime or not. Basically the FBI accepted her explanation that she's an idiot and I have to agree, she is. Arrogance is it's own kind of stupidity.

    Nobody cuts 10 percent of their profit out. You're nuts if you believe that. Especially when they can use it to tie iPhone users more fully into the Apple Walled Garden. When your phone works together with your computer it makes life easy. No, it's not their main profit but that's a lot of money. Every single PC manufacturer wished they made what Apple makes on computers. A good friend of mine has an iMac and he loves how it works with his iPhone6. Every upgrade to iOS just makes it smoother as well. New Computer hardware is supposed to be announced later this month so I'd say Apple is aware of the importance of maintaining all areas of their empire.
