I don't understand this. That's May in the middle, right? With the biggest numbers? And the poll says they have the largest party? Someone explain.

It's a majority over all other parties combined, not just over each party individually.

Oh crap. Are actual, in-person spies still at thing, or are most things done via hacking? Are there any cool books/documentaries on American spies during the cold war, or some other recent period?

In person spies will always be a thing. There are some things you just need a person on the ground for, they just aren't y'know, Tom Clancy characters.

Just a quick question from a European. When did the term antifa start to appear in the US? Because this is the first time I am hearing it being used by you guys.

I mean I always thought antifa was more of a European thing.

I figured this was the best place to ask this, a "crowdfunded journalism site" (an absurd concept and have even more absurd "bounties") raised $7,500 to release the real first edition/manuscript in .pdf of "Dreams From My Father" to prove that the book was not written by obama and was ghost written by someone else instead

I of course know it's bullshit and the staff of the website were the ones to create the campaign, assuming the conspiracy of bill ayers writing the book was even true and this was the real first edition/manuscript (the website says both) what would this thing actually be worth?

The site is really loving bizarre to be honest, although I would love to get paid to make up some stupid poo poo

It's a bit hard to find numbers the number of abortions each year (664,435 in 2013 on wikipedia and it dropped steadily each year), let's assume 550,000 are going to be done in 2017 and ~110,000 kids are already waiting to be adopted, if support and funding for abortion goes extremely south, where the gently caress are the sudden influx of unwanted kids going to go?

When these questions are brought up to the pro-lifers making these things happen what are their solutions?

Trump's approval rating right now is roughly tied with Clinton's at this period in his administration.

So he's definitely going to bring up that his numbers aren't as bad compared to Bill and Hillary?

If it made them introspective about why people hate them so much and that led to a shift in their policies? Sure. But the immediate reaction seems to be that they're going to further insulate themselves from the public. I heard my own congressman (a shithead, to be sure, but not among the very worst of them) on the radio this morning saying that they're going to have to reconsider their levels of interaction with the public and how they do it, and that's not a good thing.

Yeah, my guy's Paulsen and he was already ducking town halls for fear that "They may be impolite and un-Minnesotan! :downs:" There's no chance that we'll ever see him between now and 2018 after yesterday.

Before I laugh what would Press Secretary->Communications Director be considered? How important is the Communications Director?

In a normal admin, they're in charge of crafting the message and the narrative that the President pushes, which arguably puts them pretty high up in the President's senior staff. But... Trump's Trump, so a Comm Director is pretty worthless unless they happen to be a particularly durable brand of duct tape.
