For the record, and once again. PEC and Drew Linzer (now at KOS) have better track records than Nate over the last few presidential elections.

It's difficult to evaluate investment funds until they've gone through both good and bad times, preferably with at least one crisis in the mix. It's easy to overoptimize for one environment, then do poorly when that environment changes.

It's not hard to point to multiple sea changes that Trump's candidacy has brought to this election. I mentioned the changes in the parties' voter outreach and GOTV strategies upthread; another is the potential decoupling of the top of the GOP ticket from the bottom.

Even if the models you cite were the most accurate in 2008 and 2012, it remains to be seen if they will be in 2016.

For max cold war fun make sure you overlay the max strength Tsar Bomba, 100 megatons. Do an airburst a few hundred feet up.

It takes me half an hour to drive to my grandparents one state over. The tsar bomba dropped on their house would kill me 30 miles away.

Doctors and lawyers are both subject to mandatory reporter laws, fyi (It gets tricky with client privilege, and can be a minefield to navigate, but they definitely are subject to them).

But not in all cases (iirc: Defense Attorneys aren't expected to tell prosecutors if their client confesses their guilt?) which would be the same for priests. Someone saying "hey father I did X terrible thing" when they see them in church is not the same as going in to confession.

Gloria La Riva believes Hugo Chavez did no wrong because anti-imperialists can do no wrong by definition.

I'm guessing she's also too stupid to realize that Chavez would've gone full imperialist in a heartbeat if he thought he could've pulled it off. Like, there wasn't much good or noble about Chavez. He was a legit awful monster of a person and people defended his actions because AMERIKKKA BAD.

At least for attorneys the broad rule of thumb is you have a duty to break confidentiality when your client is about to seriously harm or kill someone and he tells you about it. Most states include serious financial harm too.

In a lot of states, it's discretionary and not mandatory. The ABA Model Rules say that a lawyer "may" break confidentiality in those circumstances

Almost All Last-Minute Bets Are for Trump, Paddy Power Says

quote:

In the betting markets at least, Donald Trump is crushing Hillary Clinton.

So far this week, the Republican candidate has outshone his rival in terms of both the number and volume of wagers, according to figures revealed yesterday by Ireland’s largest bookmaker, Paddy Power Betfair Plc. Just shy of 100,000 euros ($111,000) in bets came in, with 91 percent of them for Trump.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Thats because Trump has longer odds but the media is portraying it as a coinflip so they think Paddy's lines are exploiyable.

That's only indicative of people who comment on YouTube videos. Lord knows they don't count for much.



The one that's just Trump's comments on women, in his own words. It's kind of amazing how much better her ads are.
