It turns out Trump's medical document giving him a "clean bill of health" is a bizarre nonsensical statement written by someone without basic medical expertise that only leads to more questions - like - why has Trump been seeing a gastroenterologist for the past 35 years anyway?

Because, for at least the last 35 years, Trump has had issues with a rare verbal form of Crohn's Disease.

Fun fact about that Mississippi River map that keeps getting posted: the river changes course so much that it shouldn't even be flowing through New Orleans anymore. The Atchafalaya River is naturally becoming the river's main outlet to the sea, and the only reason why New Orleans isn't situated on a dying bayou is because the Army Corps of Engineers have forced the Mississippi to keep running through there.

I'd point out that cities often depend on the infrastructure of the regions around them. If we're really looking at a future where large swaths of coastal areas are flooding regularly, it's not like the parts that are above water are going to be just fine. Even if we could encase Miami in a floating bubble, if highway 95 is underwater it's still not viable.

You're severely understating the appeal of the revived Amphicar.

Ciaphas posted:

Saw a report on the TV today in passing about House Republicans claiming Hillary perjured herself in a few different ways regarding the whole email thing (one server vs multiple, individually read/reviewed emails by investigators vs not, etc). Is the outright claim of perjury anything new or likely to affect her career or election chances in any way?

No, because their claims are "Hilary said X but Comey said X was wrong or said Y, therefore perjury" and that's not how perjury works. They'd have to prove Clinton wasn't simply wrong in what she believed, but that she knew she was wrong and intentionally misleading. They'll push it as hard as they can purely in the hopes of it hurting her election in any way even though there's zero chance that you'd get a conviction (of anyone) from it. A defense of "I believed what I told you was absolutely correct at the time" is a pretty solid defense without evidence to prove you were lying and not simply wrong.

Boon posted:

I wish it were possible to corral every single poster who was so certain that Hillary was going to run to the center after the primary and force this down their throat.

I've seen a few liberal/hippie/etc friends on Facebook lamenting Ken Salazar's pick, saying he was poo poo at his job in Interior. I don't know him at all but overall her team seems decent enough.

Clinton's team is getting started on debate prep already and they're having a difficult job casting Trump's stand-in. My tip is Jared Leto, such a dedicated method actor that he turned himself into a monumental rear end in a top hat for his latest role. Or could they just do it on the cheap and trawl run-down psychiatric hospitals for grossly undermedicated paranoid schizophrenics. What say you goons?

quote:

Even so, out-Trumping Trump to prepare Clinton is an inherently awkward enterprise, one which is expected to unfold only in front of a small group of trusted aides. Clinton allies are comparing the confidentiality surrounding the tricky upcoming prep sessions to that of a closed film set when actors are shooting a nude scene.

Jared Leto needing to become a monumental rear end in a top hat isn't really method acting so much as playing himself.
