    Can we ban them to a deserted aleutian island together? One shelter. Hidden cameras, microphones and data link for broadcast. Not it the bedroom (what if they breed? Stuff of horror movies...)

    Add old what's his name, 'dangerous faggot' to the 'nightmare aleutian orgy from hell'...so they'll be sort of evenly matched and Rush has someone to show him some love.

    Just not true.

    The electoral college was a compromise to get the more rural of the 13 original colonies to agree to join. So New York, Boston and Philadelphia couldn't just run the place.

    Dude, struts are bad well before they start leaking. Cars get old and you never feel the difference as they degrade. The fact you say it was fine to that point says a lot about what you consider 'fine'. Push down on a corner, count the bounces. Zero bounces is the acceptable #. See also 'overdamped'.

    I had to call my parents out on their old Honda, it was dangerously worn out. Wheels bounced when they hit a pothole, car tracked on grooves in the road. They were just used to it and always drive slow anyhow. Still not safe. I paid to fix it.

    There isn't much innovative about the GoPro drone. It was always just an 'us too' product.

    DJI drones used to drive GoPro camera sales. Once GoPro made their own drone, DJI had no reason to stay out of GoPro's market.

    IMHO Bernie comes off like a sociology professor. His unstated assumptions are so wrong and deep the smart move is just to walk away without saying anything.

    Is there any point in engaging someone who's analysis starts by identifying every player's Marxist class?

    If you listen to the news carefully, the demographics of those that stayed home is interesting and not being directly discussed. They will discuss the fact that certain reliable 'inner city' precincts didn't turn out this cycle, but go no further.

    I'm really curious why. Did registration fraud actually go down? Are voter turnouts down to 100% in St Louis? Is it just post Obama/crooked white woman let down?

    Just as the Republicans actively encouraged people in the Democrat primaries to vote for Sanders.

    It happens every election, try to get the opposition to nominate a boob. This cycle the Ds succeeded, but the boob turned around and beat their establishment corrupt puppet.

    He can prosecute Hillary. Hillary will drop the dirt she has on the RNC that has kept her and Bill out of Prison for 20+ years. They can retaliate with D skeletons. The DNC retaliates with R skeletons. Repeat until DC is scorched earth. When it's over, we elect a school board member as POTUS because he's the most experienced politician outside of prison.

    He'll get a new speaker of the house. But the RNC isn't for him to select. Look for knives in backs and 'allies' pissing down each others legs in public.

    I for one am looking forward to it all burning. Particularly looking forward to Hillary's trial, when the Clintons will dump the dirt they have on the RNC establishment. Which could bring out things long buried on both sides.

    It's like when your older sister finally got busted hard, if you laughed too hard she would drop some dirt on you to take the heat off herself. Depending on how bad she ratted you out, you'd have to drop some more dirt on her etc etc etc. Fortunately my parents raised us right and we were plenty smart about not getting caught by the time we were teens. Too bad about Clinton thinking friends would always be in charge of investigations.

    Look for the RNC and cronies to undermine Trump's justice department r.e. the Clintons. You heard it here first.

    The plan is to cut off Mexico's foreign aid and use that money to pay for it. Which is frankly a good plan, Mexico is so corrupt the foreign aid just goes into someone's pocket.

    Stopping wetbacks is actually easy. A worker identification program that works and heavy fines for hiring beaners. Just like all of the EU has. Syrian refugees in Germany just can't find any kind of work without papers.

    You'd think having all those advantages and going to western schools, they would be better. They might actually be smarter, but they don't work, at all. There is no way to effectively test it.

    I've seen one hired as a programmer, on his first day, he tried to 'assign' all his work to his coworkers.
