It will take a few years to find just the right amount we can blackmail without our client states realizing it might be better to not have the US military doing eternal live-fire exercises on their land against whatever undesirables they're paying us to shoot. Of course, any extra profits in the first few years will be turned towards making vehicle mounted nerf weapons to equip the troops with for when US soldiers are hired to fight other US soldiers. Trump's all about the nationalism and xenophobia but he finds the idea of American countrymen dying a pointless death repugnant.

A year from now, Bernie sanders loses the nomination to Hillary Clinton in a closer race then anyone could have expected, while Trumps cruises to his nomination, grinding all 16 other candidates in to dust along the way. He then selects Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders as his running mate. The Trump/Sanders ticket wins in an electoral landslide and is reelected for a 2nd term in 2020 as the United States of America is ushered into a new golden age. During President Trump's 2nd term, congress repeals the 22nd amendment and Trump/Sanders runs for and wins 2 additional terms.

The X-man cometh posted:Mortgage and $3500 in rent? Part-time nanny? That's not middle class, even in the Bay Area. I guess my life is a lie then.  The mortgage is on a rental property outside of the Bay Area and rent is on a modest duplex unit in a very nice neighborhood about 15-20 minutes outside of SF. My point is $250k/yr is middle class like Clinton was dead broke. Feather fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Aug 13, 2015 |

Quote of the day:quote:Rand Paul is doing so poorly in the polls he has to revert to old footage of me discussing positions I no longer hold. As a world-class businessman, who built one of the great companies with some of the most iconic real estate assets in the world, it was my obligation to my family, my company, my employees and myself to maintain a strong relationship with all politicians whether Republican or Democrat. I did that and I did that well. ~ Donald Trump, obviously. Joementum fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Aug 13, 2015 |

Heh the guys a narcissist, he is not going to give a chance to be in the spotlight. Of all his faults I don't see indecision as one of them. If anything he will go live on camera and make the clutch (not matter how dumbass it is) call for all to see.

Tricky D posted:For many schools, esp in the south east, football programs are net positive sources of income for the school. If you believe accounting that would make ENRON's accountants blush, sure. If I remember right the schools that did the best only eke out a few hundred thousands a year in profit on the student athletics - and then most of it goes right back into the athletics program instead of say paying for grad student stipends or bumping a few adjuncts up to proper professors.

2 months ago my mom, a registered republican, told me she planned to vote for Donald Trump because she thought he was very smart. I then yelled at her and tried to talk some sense in to her. I'm one press conference away from calling to apologize for that.

I like that I said the NH Dem poll was going to be a big thing in the media, get everyone's rear end on fire, and a few people were like 'lol, small sample size from a republican tabloid who cares'. And now after a full day news cycle it has been all over the place like Time, Morning Joe, Guardian, WaPo, everywhere. Only NYT is bullshitting with 'statistical tie'. I've seen more people yelling where the gently caress is Clinton and what is she thinking today than any other day in this election. She's loving around with emails instead of saying how she plans to improve America. This is wakeup time, dems, wakey-wakey.

Joementum posted:Speaking of Mark Ames, he wrote a good history of Roger Stone, ex(?)-Trump campaign associate. Check it out if you enjoy reading about horrible, Libertarian, Nixon cronies. quote:With bizarre attacks and pressure mounting on all sides and Muskie growing increasingly paranoid and peeved, Nixon’s dirty tricksters wound up destroying him in one of those weird insignificant little episodes that somehow get weaponized, go viral, and destroy the candidate. A Nixon CREEPer, maybe Roger Stone, sent a phony letter to the editor to the big New Hampshire newspaper on the eve of the all-important early primary there, claiming to be written by a Muskie supporter who claimed, falsely, that he’d met Muskie in Florida (where Nixon’s White House paid blacks to picket Muskie’s hotel), and asked Muskie how he could possibly understand the problems that black Americans face given the fact that his home state Maine has so few minorities. quote:In early 2004, with former Vermont governor and articulate antiwar candidate Howard Dean electrifying Democrats and antiwar voters and posing a potentially deadly threat to the Bush campaign, Roger Stone secretly funded and staffed Al Sharpton, and sent him into the Democratic Party primaries to smear Howard Dean and suck the life and joy out of his campaign. It worked. Seems especially relevant this campaign cycle considering what's already happened to Sanders in Seattle.

Wait, do we still have that old college loan thing in the filing cabinets in the basement? Throw that out there. That'll appease them. What do you mean people are asking why this isn't as good as Bernie's plan?
