You know, I wouldn't be shocked if Donald's campaign was a Producers-esque scheme gone awry.

He asked why they have the waiver. They are allowed to operate because they limit it at $850 per bet and $4,500 total, sorry you find that sad.

This requirement of artificially low bets means that it's not a good representation of what people with money are actually betting on.

This is dumb as hell. What are they going to do, start a sharing economy of terrorism?

What of Miranda?

My main concern with using the no fly list is that this Supreme Court says that your right to own a gun is on the same level as your right to free speech. Or to be represented by an attorney or your right to a trial by jury. That means that an arbitrary list with a superficial placement process that denies you one of those rights is scary.

We need to repeal the 2nd amendment to decouple but good luck with that.

I watched the "Dean scream" for the first time today.

It didn't really seem all that bad. That sunk a campaign?

No, you haven't gone far enough back in my posting history. I've posted criticism of BLM long before that. Here's my core problem with BLM:

The only thing they are good at is tapping into and exploiting unfocused impotent rage. In this regard, they are the mirror image of Trump's campaign for President. Trump has tapped into the unfocused impotent rage of white people and BLM has done the same for black people. Neither is productive or beneficial in the long run.

Add to this my belief that many of their actions are counter-productive to their own interest and the interest of the black community. I think they have unrealized potential but, I have concerns that they will never accomplish anything productive. I have a very strong concern that they will choose to engage in very counter-productive actions during the 2016 election.

edit: many seem to think that I just don't like the idea of BLM which is wrong. I've got no problem with the truth that Black Lives do and should Matter to everyone.
