    Ex-felons can't vote, am I correct? So clearly there's some exception or loophole.

    What I have trouble imagining is Trump being a two term president.

    Oh, he won't go beyond one. It might be a bit longer than the standard four years, though.

    He didn't get to be a successful businessman, folks, by reapplying for his job every four years.

    When you have a weapon with a range of 27i you can't shoot somebody who's 34i away.

    There is not a SINGLE NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH that allows the non-native children of uninvited intruders to automatically become citizens of that nation.

    Have you asked the Cherokee what they think of that?

  6. If "we" is the H1-B clowns who maintain the site, then no. It's done funny things with urls since I joined.

  7. I used to live in a house that had cats either side and over the back (from the adjoining street).

    We had all of them shitting in it. Cat Bosnia.

    Anyway, there are much simpler solutions than Trump trying to pad his bottom line.

    Such as? Name three.

    Besides which, the guy is dying soon, He couldn't care less about that, he already made and lost a fortune several times.
           

    Nonsense. Only little people think of what they could do with money if they had it. For the big people it's about ego and keeping score. It becomes an end in itself, not a means.

    47 Billion by 2025. There's an xkcd. Google it, I can';t be arsed.

  13. Appearance is a proxy for relatedness; who looks most like you? Your parents, children & siblings. Who looks least like you? People of other races.

    So any gene that caused people to like similar looking people (and by implication dislike those who looked different) would be favouring itself. Once it existed, it would be self-reinforcing.

    The ruling class take care of their own.

    Irrelevant. This breach isn't going to cost them anything. In fact if enough people sign up for monitoring and protection or whatever they call it (they're offering one year free - how generous!) they'll probably come out ahead.

    Screw up and get an ongoing revenue stream.

    They didn't call themselves the National *Socialist* party for nothing.

    They called themselves that because it was trendy at the time. If they started today they'd be called "Paleo Artisanal Fixie Makerspace".

    We demand the nationalisation of all associated industries.
            We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
            We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
            Abolition of unearned incomes. Breaking of debt-slavery.

    All of these are solidly left-wing policies.

    How many of them did they implement once they were elected?

    Trump is protecting American strategic assets and making America great again by stopping them godless chinks stealing our ideas.

    What a person takes as their post-secondary degree when they are 18-24 and starting life doesn't imply they haven't SINCE developed a full suite of skills and certifications making them perfectly suited to the job.
