So how is this different than the alleged issues with the Clinton foundation, other than that Rudy was running a for-profit business?

Although this loss was particularly devastating, it wasn’t exactly a devastating loss... She won the popular vote, and came close in the states that ultimately decided the electoral college. All of this introspection and soul searching is probably good for the party, which should definitely do more to help (or at…

But there was always still a chance that Trump could win, however small it looked at the outset. A lot of the data wasn’t captured well by polling technique, and the election was so close in key states, that either candidates’ lead was well within the margin of error.

I mean, I guess that is the silver lining—when the rapist wears a condom. I guess it could be a lot worse if they didn’t, but that’s kinda missing the point even for an article that really misses the point. Maybe this is how things work in Singapore—the teenage girl should always know better when the big bad wolf…

Hey, it’s Rudy’s time in the sun, so let the old lizard soak it up. He was America’s Mayor for a while, which comes with the only slightly more influence than being America’s Grandpa or something. He couldn’t even win that US Senate seat, or governorship of NY at the peak of his popularity, and maybe got one…

This is like when my little brother would hit me in plain view of my mom, and when she said “did you just hit your brother?”, he’d say,”no!”. Like, it’s racist and that’s why you said it. Sure, maybe you’re not driving around with a white sheet, a pitchfork, some lighter fluid and two pieces of wood in the trunk of…

So in some way, this is more rope with which to hang himself... and given the level of scrutiny heaped upon the Clintons’ business dealings, I’m sure the current Congress will keep Trump honest here....... oh right, just like they did with Bush’s family’s opaque dealings with Saudi royals before, during and after…

It’s possible that I’m projecting my desires onto Trump, as so many others did-seeing literally whatever they wanted to see in his ranting and raving. However, watching him in the interview talking about abortion, it seemed like he hadn’t figured out a way to wiggle out of this one yet. Maybe he’s being sly, in that…

I mean, that definitely explains what happened in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, allowing him to sweep the rust belt (even with strong margins in Philadelphia, Allegheny County, and to a lesser extent, Detroit/Wayne County)—he made working class whites feel “heard”. Actually addressing their concerns is…

How much can we really blame him, vs. the people that voted for him (assuming they found a Clinton presidency preferable to a Trump presidency, but still disliked her and didn’t want to vote for her)? And if you voted for Jill Stein, then seriously fuck you!

If BMW was still doing the “art cars” like the Frank Stella and Andy Warhol cars of the past, this would be Richard Serra’s contribution. I’m sure the wrap is a lot lighter than cor-ten steel, though.

At this point, we just have to move on and hope that he’s a better president than we think he’s going to be. I’m still curious about some of the really close swing state races, which definitely still have absentee ballots to be counted and could swing the other way, but I don’t see the math actually working out in…

I mean, I get why they might be annoyed that certain polling places were kept open later, and it would probably be a big issue on actual election day. However, because it’s early voting, it’s not so clear that it’s will really have much of an actual effect on the outcome of the election: anyone who wasn’t able to…

shouldn’t one of his election observers be making sure that she’s eligible to vote?

Yeah, but as much as the Trump camp talks about doing things that are “good for the economy” or whatever, they really just mean what’s good for them. Racism and Sexism may have been bad for the economy as a whole, but it was great for white men—look at how much a white man with only a high-school diploma could earn…

I doubt $66 dollars of collard greens purchased from Whole Foods will fill up much more than a shopping cart (uncooked). They’re $3-4/bunch or so. But buying comfort food from Neiman’s is just ridiculous.

Uber drivers should be paid fairly, have access to benefits, and afforded protections against abuse by Uber. Some of these will come through market competition from companies like Juno, which lets drivers keep 90% of their fares and gives drivers who have driven with the company for a year stock in the company. The…

“Currently, sufficient evidence does not exist to bring forth allegations.”

Whether or not partnership-shares for debt swaps were legal at the time (they were), it’s still hard to understand how someone like Trump could exchange stock worth (by any accepted method of valuation, which should exclude Trump’s “feelings” about what something is worth) considerably less than the amount owed and…

at least one of them has to be Nermal
