    Based on what 'they believe' and 'they're fairly confident will not be', the very definition of bias.

    Particularly when it hasn't be true historically.

    Socialism (defined as no private ownership of 'means of production') at a national level requires a command economy. No price signals, no profit motive, so no way to make it 'self organizing' like capitalism.

    Command economies all have excessive concentration of power. It is just a fact.

    The key flaw to socialism is: Excessive concentration of power. The fact you don't know this yet shows you have not been paying any attention.

    Get a right winger on the court, then have the other justices call her out for being senile. Get it done before the next election cycle.

    It's psych ops for their supporters. They need to keep them in their thought bubble. If they really process this experience it will cripple the Ds for a decade or more, until they breed another generation of liberal arts school muppets/SJWs. The biggest cynics always start as the biggest (sometimes dumbest) idealists. SJWs will be cynical as fuck once they get their moments of clarity.

    Every democrat that sits down and disobeys CNN and actually reads the Podesta emails is a lost soul to the Ds. They need to focus on something else, pure bullshit is good enough.

    We don't know how many times Clinton's server was hacked, it was configured not to log anything.

    We know her admin thought they had been hacked at least once. But he was blitheringly incompetent. So we know she was hacked a non-negative number of times, could be 0, could be 1000. No way to tell, by design.

    What?

    Right now, the civilians with guns have someone on 'their side' in the whitehouse and their party owns the senate and house. Who do you think will go to war?

    Hillary was the one that was going to lead to civil war. The 'Million Gun March on Washington' has already been planned in some detail. Will just happen if they try and neuter the 2nd. Now the SC is safe for at least 20 more years, likely longer. What is the over/under on Ginsburg's life expectancy/retirement date?

    Hope they appoint a youngun, someone to counter weigh Sotomayor. Which means (s)he will be a pure partisan like Sotomayor. That's the early appointment, before the gridlock voters get a chance to freeze things again.

    Lucas is a strange case, his best movie was 'American Graffiti', after that a long generally downward trend. By the time he made the prequels he was making pure crap.
