I was an "anyone but Hillary" guy from before Bill left office but Trump is the only thing I've seen that can put me alongside her (with McCain, Schwartzenegger,...),
Hillary over McCain? I don't think you're an "anyone but Hillary" guy, you're just a Hillary guy.
Instead we had Rumsfeld and similar wastes of space calling the shots.
He was worse than a waste of space. IF you could have replaced the space he was taking with a potato, the world would have been better. Yes, I think, in all seriousness, a potato would have made a better secretary of defense than Donald Rumsfeld.
Trump is right in that loopholes in the tax code enable this kind of behavior; Clinton is right in that this kind of behavior is antisocial. Trump is right that congress enables this, but he is wrong in saying that the president, or any one senator, has enough clout to change that.
There's been movement building against the Carried Interest Tax loophole for a while now, it wouldn't surprise me if it got closed in the next two terms, no matter who won.
When was that prediction made? Did they predict an entirely ice free arctic, or just one that is ice free in summer? Did they predict the entire arctic would be ice free, or just the central basin? (If they predicted the central basin would be ice free by 2016 then that was a good prediction; it's not that far wrong; give it a couple of years.)
That could give a motive for Russia not wanting Clinton to win: Putin is trying to influence the Balkans, and if anyone has more influence/respect in that region, it's Bill Clinton.
Here is the relevant text from the government's release (ps what kind of url is that? files.scribblelive.com?):
The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and
WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and
motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere
with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used
similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public
opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's
senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.
There's not a whole lot of evidence there. It would be interesting to know what sort of things Russia has done in Europe and Asia.
No, they already make original movies, and if you go to any film festival, you can see them (of varying quality). If those start making money, Hollywood will definitely notice.
If Deckard was a replicant, the movie turns into trite garbage, on the other hand, it's the top 2 scifi movies ever made with a close tie to 2001
Space Oddessy 2001 was the boringest scifi movie ever made.
You are right about Deckard, though. Part of the story is pointing out our mortality, and showing that even though we (and Deckard) are not replicants, our lives are not much longer than theirs.
Oh, and let me tell you about my mother..........

You know Clinton didn't release the tape, right?
Who did? I've been trying to figure that out.

How does he explain the melting polar ice cap?
The DNC leaks exposed what anyone with a half a brain has understand for a long time: our news media is just propaganda
I'm ready for the old news-media to die.
I don't think the typical person 'hunts' and types anymore. Maybe 30 years ago......

It was widely reported in the news at the time, and you can still find some of them up. Here are some details.. Apparently that scientist was still making predictions this year. Note: other scientists disagreed with them.
It's amazing what 6billion people can do if they work together (or even work vaguely towards similar desires).
"We are betting our species' future on our ability to bury carbon."
Seriously? What do 97% of climate scientists agree on? I'll tell you, it's not that.
This kind of hyperbole is what turns people into climate change deniers. Very few scientists think AGW will cause the destruction of the human race.

do you have any reason to think the RNC isn't about the same?
Of course they are the same: it wasn't even private, they really didn't want Trump to win.
But defending one group's bad behavior because another group does the same is an idiot's argument.
Not a hoax, I found a link to it on the dhs website.
Is this hoax? There wasn't a press conference or anything, was someone spoofing the government's email address to send it out to the press?

ok, 2001 gets credit for being philosophical, but BladeRunner is too, and manages to be engaging at the same time (Big Lebowski is philosophical, too)
Hollywood needs to grow a pair, take a small risk, and start making original movies again.
They will, when people start paying for them.

If a tree falls in the middle of the forest and there's nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Pretty much depends on how you define 'sound', right?

Spy Handler ( 822350 ) couldn't possibly be wrong about how bears walk?
He could, but I've seen bears walk, and I agree with him.
