Aren't there laws about covering up a hack? Okay, they might not apply here since the republicans aren't customers of the republican national committee, but if the hackers got access to the donors database...

Rigged may be a technically incorrect description but fairly accurate to describe someone who had the entire weight of the lovely centrist DNC trying to clear the way for "her turn" and Bernie was "mathematically" eliminated in part thanks to the lovely undemocratic superdelegate system (that's probably sticking around since no one actually pays attention to this poo poo outside of election time).

Congrats on not having completely terrible opinions about policy anymore though!

Yeah, I don’t understand how people parse the funding thing into not unfairly tilting process towards Clinton.

I haven't heard about this until this morning. Has anyone read a good overview of the situation? From like a single article I found the Parisians were upset that the tax burden for poor French people has increased significantly while their wages have not increased very much. So this is just wrong if that is accurate.

Yeah, holding the door is an unconscious gesture if you're even possessed of a modicum of manners. Pulling someone's chair out for them, however, sometimes involves literally diving in front of a woman to stop her from sitting down first, and it looks weird and creepy and medieval.

From a stability perspective, both "the trade war has ended" and "the trade wars haven't ended" are preferable to a loud, wet fart while Trump looks into the camera making an expression that could be interpreted as addled rage or a realization that he shouldn't have trusted his ancient anus.

I think this figure comes from this study: http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=23550 where they* take the average difference in spending and contribution at local, state, and federal levels and multiply by the number of immigrants. The summary of the study says this:

quote:

In terms of fiscal impacts, first-generation immigrants are more costly to governments, mainly at the state and local levels, than are the native-born, in large part due to the costs of educating their children. However, as adults, the children of immigrants (the second generation) are among the strongest economic and fiscal contributors in the U.S. population, contributing more in taxes than either their parents or the rest of the native-born population.

which kind of blows up the narrative that we're losing money. We're contributing to the education of children, who will become citizens. Of course that's going to be expensive! But educating children tends to be worth it since you end up with productive members of society in the end.

* Edit: I'm unsure if Trump/GOP did the multiplication or if the ~250-300 billion number is in the study

There is no deal. Trump says there's a deal, but he's wrong and nobody even knows what stage we're in as far as talks go. So there's no real way to judge whether that 25% tariff and counter-tariff are sure things or just brinksmanship.

It's only bad if you act weird when a woman does the same for you, or get mad when she tells you she prefers that you don't.

Here's a fun game. Imagine you're some sort of financial professional. You're aware that, due to basic game theory, if you're selling or buying commodities or stock, it's because you've under or overestimated the risk. But you're also aware that everyone else is also aware of this. But you don't want to just sit there because you're either putting yourself at risk for bankruptcy or leaving a pile of money on the table.

Now imagine your decision is based on accurately judging how full of poo poo a Trump Tweet is.
