More money could build the bigger booster needed to lift up a big enough antenna needed to bust through the losses of the inverse-square law. But somehow I doubt that's the funding she has in mind.

This is relevant to US politics because Raqqa, Manbij, and Fallujah are all most likely going to fall before November, and Hillary's going use these advances against ISIL to show that the US's foreign policy under Obama is working, that backing local ground forces with special forces and airstrikes works, and that she's going to continue what Obama's doing. And you know that she's following this poo poo very closely both because of her former job as Secretary of State and because she knows this is going to be her job in six months. Meanwhile, Trump's foreign policy advisers will still trying to be trying to explain the difference between Sunni and Shia, Hamas and Hezbollah, and Quds and Kurds to him. What I'm trying to say is that the first Trump vs Hillary debate is gonna be so much fun, Hillary's gonna turn Trump to paste. ![]()

Ze Pollack posted:Pick your teeth-falling-out getting-steadily-crazier disease of choice, point remains Alexander Hamilton's political career without his sugar daddy standing by to cover for him can be summed up with the single word "Nope." Washington likely had severe strep throat. The cure for which included bleeding him of over 3 liters of blood and using caustic substances to blister the gently caress out of his throat. As he lay dying, the wise "physicians" at his side stopped the local quack from performing some insane witch doctory called a tracheotomy to let him Breathe. The father of the nation would later succumb to his illness, and certainly not to his medical treatment.

UCLA is clearly not a spree killing. Looks like a specific target and perhaps a murder suicide.

Hillary, Bernie, & Obama Bullseye Targets Being Sold By This Dangerous Companyquote:Gun shop owner Andy Hallinan offers Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and President Barack Obama likeness targets and plans to make a handsome profit off of these items for sale on his website. Last year, he drew criticism for banning all Muslims from his shop. Hallinan considers himself an “American Patriot,’ who says “Bernie Stickers” inspired him.
