We know transgender people are unhappy with their choice because statistics show over 60% commit suicide! I want the suicides to stop!"

It's pretty monstrous since they 100% know what they are doing to encourage these suicides.

Did this get picked up on?quote:Amid all the nervousness from Republican political veterans that his speeches are too spontaneous, he vowed to show discipline in the announcement of his vice-presidential pick. The campaign has privately discussed making an announcement as soon as this month to deflect from the controversy surrounding Trump University, and some advisers have worried that Trump may decide on his own to post the announcement on Twitter one night with little warning. http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-06-08/trump-says-no-reason-to-raise-1-billion-for-campaign

Prester Jane posted:Of course he claims to only sleep for 4-5 hours a night, actually doing it while in the middle of running for president is a little bit different though. While I still somewhat disagree with you re Trump's endgame (he's a wily survivor, calling for widespread violence would destroy him and he would recognize that) I do think there's a good possibility of some sort of epic flaming out after the election. And I've been doing this in the GOP Collapse thread, but your post brings this quote to mind. Trump's QUOTE OF THE DAY Donald Trump posted:I've never lost in my life http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-quote-key-to-wealth The whole article is worth a read.

These days though, I cant recall the last time I've seen a mosquito truck. Mosquito activity around my parents' place dropped once we finished the small pond in the front yard. The fact that we would throw small sunfish in it along with the goldfish probably helped since they'd just devour any bug that even looked at the water for too long. Except water striders. I guess fish just don't eat them for whatever reason (though IIRC those eat other bugs too). UFOTofuTacoCat posted:What up from NC And he was still given bail, and only for 60k.

ozmunkeh posted:Just as a point of reference clintonemail.com was registered on January 15th 2009 and the server seems to have been set up by her keystone cop IT guy around the same time. How was she using it in 2001? The notion that it was a long-term email account that would be a hassle to change (with appointments, calendars etc) is made up nonsense. Not trying to "gotcha" you but with most things related to the Clintons it's genuinely hard to sift through the bullshit to get actual facts. The registration of a domain is not necessarily also the creation of a server. For example, when I started a home business I registered a .com email address to my existing .net domain ( run on a laptop in my basement using an email security firm to proxy for it just like the Clintons ) that we'd been using for almost a decade by that point. It may be the creation of a server, but is not necessarily so. I'm at work so sorry for light citations but there are many references noting that she was using her "caimpaign email" at state. So she was at a minimum using it in early 2008. http://m.govexec.com/management/2016/02/state-department-staff-used-clintons-2008-campaign-email-group-says/126010/ I saw an interview with Bill that I'd have to dig up where he mentioned initially setting it up shortly after stepping down as POTUS primarily for his personal staff to use - he said he almost never used it personally. When Hillary started caimpaigning she wanted to be added on to it with her staff. They had some concern about security and hired a consultant to set it all up. I'm sure it got a physical upgrade at some point between 2001 and 2009 so purchasing hardware could probably be spun as a fresh install.

Spun Dog posted:So the suit had no merits if Hogan couldn't bankroll it himself? The suit was argued in such a way that it made Hogan's chances of winning much smaller and he will recieve a smaller payout over a longer period of time (and is not even guaranteed to recieve all of it) because Thiel wanted to secretly use it as a way to go after Gawker as a media organization. Hogan agreed to accept the risk and smaller payment in exchange for keeping quiet about who was funding him in order for one person to shut down a media organization. The suit had merit, but Hogan's legal strategy made no sense until it was revealed that Thiel was secretly funding him to shutdown a media organization he didn't like.
