Jesus Christ MIGF do you know nothing of government history? Vice President went to whoever got second place in the election (in this case Thomas Jefferson) until the twelfth amendment.

Right when I was getting out of my car for work just now, NPR reported that investigators uncovered a social media post from Tashfeen Malik (the wife) very soon before the shooting occurred where she pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Edit: Updated with the link. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/12/04/458464907/alleged-san-bernardino-attacker-pledged-allegiance-to-isis Aerox fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Dec 4, 2015 |

The New York Times figured out the Zuckerberg thing: it's an elaborate tax dodge and PR machine.quote:So what are the tax implications? They are quite generous to Mr. Zuckerberg. I asked Victor Fleischer, a law professor and tax specialist at the University of San Diego School of Law, as well as a contributor to DealBook. He explained that if the L.L.C. sold stock, Mr. Zuckerberg would pay a hefty capital gains tax, particularly if Facebook stock kept climbing.

Lyapunov Unstable posted:I mean really, was the daily mass shooting that much more important than reconstituting every congressional district in the country Next Tuesday the case will be argued in front of SCOTUS, so it's not all that long to wait to see how that plays out. Since I went looking for it and took a while to find it, it's the case about changing districts to having equal size of voting populating rather than total population. Last post to the SCOTUS thread was in early October, so it's not clear if this one is on the radar as a major case. http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/evenwel-v-abbott/ for the curious.

Luigi Thirty posted:The New York Times figured out the Zuckerberg thing: it's an elaborate tax dodge and PR machine. Half right. The company has a mandate to invest in long term structural endeavors. As in, instead of putting money in Coca-Cola, it puts it in textbook manufacturers, water treatment enterprises, and the like. It will likely see less returns than just dropping it in a wide market index fund would, but it should still be able to beat taxes and losses. More to the point, what it then owns are the things that do not go away. Sears is looking like it finally might give up the ghost, but the companies it uses to do its distribution and logistics are not, because ultimately everyone needs to get things from here to there. This organization will be (from what we know now) ignoring the former and grabbing parts of the latter. This isn't a tax dodge and PR grab, this is a long run hereditary wealth protection, meant so that his descendants are the upper crust many generations out, just like the nobility of old. It is the modern version of having the keep on the river, where a thousand years later you can still trace back the bloodlines if world leaders to those barons, because they made sure to control the things necessary for society instead of what is presently hot.

Not that it matters, because it's pretty clear you only care about a shooters motivations when they're non-white, non-christians. Perhaps there's a deeper reason for this.

Are they usually completely spur of the moment things? Did it interrupt their planning for an actual terror attack?

Oracle posted:That was to deflect negative publicity from the release of the Social Network. This book says otherwise quote:There was a complication, however. Another movie was scheduled to debut the same weekend: The Social Network, Aaron Sorkin’s fictionalized account of the founding of Facebook in which, it was already well known, Zuckerberg came off as an arrogant boy genius who betrayed a trusting friend on his way to fame and fortune. There was plenty of anxiety at Facebook headquarters about the potential of the movie, sure to be a box office blowout, to tarnish the company’s brand. Facebook’s communications team flatly advised Zuckerberg not to make such an attention-grabbing gesture of generosity just when The Social Network hit theaters. It would probably be criticized as a $100 million damage-control stunt, not seen as a bold and selfless commitment to a better tomorrow for children, senior advisers told him. Zuckerberg asked Booker, Christie, and Winfrey for a postponement, but they were determined to go ahead, largely because Booker wanted to use the marketing campaign for Waiting for Superman as a catalyst for raising the second $100 million. Zuckerberg said he then proposed making the gift anonymously. I know everything sucks and nothing is good in the world, but maybe, just maybe, he is trying to do some good.

(AP) — The woman who helped her husband kill 14 people at a holiday banquet for his county co-workers pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and its leader on Facebook using an alias, then deleted the messages before the attack, a U.S. law enforcement official said Friday, providing the strongest evidence to date that the rampage may have been a terrorist attack. It's becoming pretty clear that the attack wasn't just a workplace shooting.
