the thing that's most hosed up about this is that we're fine with corporate money in politics as long as it's not DIRECTLY from a foreign dictator

nevermind that most corporate money is almost completely detached from any kind of regional or even national interest

in allowing our system of legalized bribery, we effectively invite anyone to wreck our country for a small fee

I mean, we're not, its just that we can't get anything loving done about it, since after Citizen's united, it looks like it would take a constitutional amendment to properly fix

on the subject of the USNS Comfort hospital ship being sent to Puerto Rico: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...its-on-the-way/

"Navy Cmdr. Mike Kafka, a service spokesman, said that the ship will leave within the next four days, and it will take up to five additional days to reach Puerto Rico. He called the move a 'prudent decision in light of current conditions on ground.'"

I remember reading the Princeton study which showed that campaign contributions/lobbying had the highest effect on creating and altering new bills.

My headache remedy is excedrin migraine. Ibuprofen doesn't really help them for me. I'm not sure if they're migraines but my head feels like someone is putting a drill through it and I can't look at light and I feel like throwing up for about 2 hours.

PACS are going to control Michigan's election next year. The GOP in Lansing passed a law last week to make it legal for them to do it. Unlimited spending now for state elections.

quote:

In private, the president and his top aides freely admit that he is engaged in a culture war on behalf of his white, working-class base, a New York billionaire waging war against “politically correct” coastal elites on behalf of his supporters in the South and in the Midwest. He believes the war was foisted upon him by former President Barack Obama and other Democrats — and he is determined to win, current and former aides said.

yup, it was by a ridiculous margin too

actual public interest was no more significant than random chance

good news is this is self-correcting

bad news is the correction will probably kill millions and end america's long run as the leader of the Western World
