Stargate? I miss something, or did Trump bring down the wrath of the Goa'uld upon us?

why would he need to bring them in from outside?

you can already find a megalomaniacal autocrat with an unrealistic governing strategy and gilded design sense, in this election

I bet the reason he flies his motherplane back to ny every night so he can sleep in his his regeneration sarcophagus

Not at all, actually, he's one of the few Libertarians who lives up to helping his community of his own accord.

I always say: show me a Right-Wing Libertarian filling potholes and I'll respect them.

Rand, despite my many disagreances with his ideological points of view, fills potholes.

no you see, choosing to provide healthcare to people for free is noble and good and admirable
but forcing doctors at government-point to provide healthcare to people at marginally lower costs than they currently already do is literally slavery
nevermind that providing healthcare to poor people for free would be unnecessary if only the government would enslave all the doctors or whatever

There is no standardized definition of race in biology. You cite geographic race, which is silly considering how much loving has gone down. Hair color, skin pigment and earwax are not exactly vast genetic differences. Unless you are a racist.

also pretty stark phenotypic differences can be seen with very little genetic variation between groups. defining race is very difficult because of how fluid populations are, and the fact that true geographic isolation (especially in humans) is rare. we have functional biological definitions for things like crops (landraces or breeds or whatever) that allow us to make informed breeding decisions, but you're right, there's no hard line in the sand that abruptly defines a race

Pretty cool statistical analysis of the fact Trump gets more retweets the more negative he goes:

http://www.datasciencenotes.com/2016/07/donald-trump-is-getting-even-bigger.html

quote:

Next we look at a more interesting area, how many Retweets each candidate gets by net sentiment score. In essence, this analysis looks at how twitter users react to each candidates tweet. The more Retweets, the more interaction, the fewer.. less interaction. If we correlate this to the sentiment of tweets we can determine what kind of sentiment draws the most interaction for each candidate. Here's what Trump looks like (sentiment score is horizontal axis, Retweets per tweet on vertical) ...



The relationship for Trump is statistically significant, and we can infer that Trump gets 800 incremental retweets (on average) for each negative word he uses. (more negative == more interactions)
