holy poo poo Nate Silver is such an rear end in a top hat lmao

Out of curiosity, do we know who he is voting for? Has he ever said?

The general tone of his articles indicates that he doesn't like Trump at all so he's probably voting Clinton

Like, he's made multiple comparisons to the chance of a Trump victory being the same as "losing" Russian roulette, you don't do that if you're in the tank for cheeto benito

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.
The last time the Cubs won a world series was actually closer to the building of the pyramids than to today's date. Crazy.

Is it 'to cover his rear end if he's wrong'?

The way the aggregators are going, the only way Nate can be the most accurate is simply if he is the less wrong one.

The source also said they are basing their entire investigation on Clinton Cash.

No, I'm not joking. They used the book as the starting point for their investigation.

They went to the DOJ to get warrants and the DOJ laughed them out of the room. So now they're leaking poo poo and claiming that people are protecting the Clintons in retaliation.

The real kicker of that "FBI indictment" bullshit is

quote:

Sources within the FBI have told [Baier] that an indictment is "likely" in the case of pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, "barring some obstruction in some way" from the Justice Department.
Because whoever told Baier all this knows that they're spouting bullshit, they're just priming his audience to accept "THE DOJ IS BLOCKING THE INVESTIGATION!" which is what the RWM will say when no indictment happens.

I don't understand why so many people are throwing their careers in the trash over Trump. Or is the fear of Hillary being an actually effective president so great that they figure tanking her in advance is worth it? Maybe they gave up on Trump entirely and it's all just about 2020.

In theory, if Trump wins they get a conservative SCOTUS judge, probably another when RBG retires. They get influence over the redistricting in the next census. Etc. They're banking on him being a puppet and going along.

So there are things at stake and that's making them cling to partly loyalty. (Also it's all they know how to do.)

While I'm sure there are many and varied reasons, each as subtly different as the wings of a majestic butterfly, I'd say the unifying principle is: They're idiots. I think Trump may have some kind of Stupid Ray which only works on about a third of white people, who just so happen to have largely self-selected into the Republican Party. This "Yuge, Luxurious Gene" is not present in the founding population of Utah.

You could fold it into the Dept of Homeland Security and make it redundant, slowly stripping away funding, manpower and purpose over several years.
Actually shuttering it? I'm not sure. There's probably a way since its not a regulatory agency or constitutionally mandated org. Probably a lot of red tape about that though.

But we'd likely be better off dumping the CiA before the FBI.
