"With Trump, however, we are entering an era in which a president, prior to taking office, has already shown an ability to be entirely unbound by facts, with no political consequences." This may be our only hope. Simply because he said obnoxious things during the campaign does not mean he will follow though with them.

A third party vote is a cop-out. All anyone can assert is that they did not vote for the "wrong" candidate. They cannot assert that they did not help the bad candidate get elected. They are enablers of a consequence that they may not like or may not want to acknowledge. This is not a partisan statement. You can choose your own bad one. When the bad one wins you own it and the consequences if you vote for a third party.

"Trump himself is a man who knows nothing meaningful about government or public policy, and whose alleged business acumen, as has been widely reported, is based on a philosophy of ripping off contractors and investors and enriching himself at the expense of others. He cares for no one and nothing but his business empire, and even this network of capitalist vultures has been run poorly. For years he operated a worthless multi-level marketing scam called Trump University, bilking thousands of hardworking Americans of their wealth, and then openly bribing at least two state attorney generals to drop their investigations of his operation. He will be in court to answer for this elaborate scam this month."

There's Simply No Comparison Between Clinton's Flaws and Trump's

"To evaluate Trump’s life as a whole is to see that however distasteful one finds Hillary Clinton––I will never forgive the Democrats for nominating her––to regard them as equivalently bad candidates for the presidency isn’t just absurd, it is reckless. Whether one is a liberal, a conservative, or a libertarian, a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu, or an atheist, Trump is the inferior candidate, and clearly so." To cop out by voting for one of the other candidates in a close race is equivalent to voting for Trump. There is no moral high ground there.

Election Update: Comey Or Not, Trump Continues To Narrow Gap With Clinton

The bottom line: the probability that the Cubs will win AND Trump will lose is about 20% so it about 80% sure that a lot of Chicagoans are not going to be happy next week. “Both FiveThirtyEight’s models and betting markets give Trump about a 1 in 4 chance of winning the election, about the same chance as the Chicago Cubs have of winning the World Series.”

The GOP’s Age of Authoritarianism Has Only Just Begun

Be afraid! “Rubio assumed that the term “conservative movement” was synonymous with “the Republican Party.” The two were not always the same. Like right-of-center parties in industrialized democracies across the world, the GOP throughout most of the 20th century understood there to be a role for government in daily life.”

Given his 10 year term, I don't think he can be fired - but can he be impeached? Jailed?

Note: The FSB includes the FBI and Homeland Security so it is a more comprehensive organization.

What are the candidates’ plans for America’s budget?

"The candidates, then, offer two completely contrasting plans. Mrs Clinton would keep the national debt more-or-less on its current path, raise overall taxes and spending, and redistribute from the rich downwards. Mr Trump would borrow vastly more than currently planned, cut taxes, and redistribute upwards (compared with current law). Neither would do much about America’s longer-term fiscal woes. Because the trust fund for Medicare runs dry only in 2028, and the Social Security fund only in 2034, this issue will only really grab politicians—and electorates—later. "

"She surveyed hundreds of exchange students and found three major points that they all agreed on. The students all said that in their host countries: School is harder. There's less homework but the material is more rigorous. People take education more seriously, from selecting the content to selecting the teachers. Sports are just a hobby. In the U.S., sports are a huge distraction from the business of school, but that's not the case in other countries. Kids believe there's something in it for them. The students in other countries deeply believe that what they are doing in school affects how interesting their lives were going to be. Even if they don't like a class, they see their education as a stepping stone to their future."

Trump's bullsh*t: Why his supporters don't care that he's lying

"...people bullshit when they speak about topics that they are not well-versed in or when the facts don't line up with the overall message. Trump has been upfront about his outsider status and his lack of debate prep and knowledge on government policy. The fact that he responds to complex topics with bullshit is perhaps not surprising." The really sad thing is that the right wing blogosphere and media pass on his bullshit message even when they are not as ignorant as he is. Only in his and their circles is lack of evidence taken as proof. For example: I have not seen Trump's graduation certificate, therefore he did not graduate. I have not seen his psychiatrist's notes, so clearly he is hiding something.

How Negative Thoughts and Complaining Affect Your Brain

Think happy thoughts and stop complaining. Trump will lose! "“Every time we have a thought we make a chemical. If we have good, elevated thoughts or happy thoughts we make chemicals that make us feel good or happy. And if we have negative thoughts or bad thoughts or insecure thoughts we make chemicals that make us feel exactly the way we are thinking. So every chemical that is released in the brain is literally a message that feeds the physical body. Now the body begins to feel the way we are thinking.” ~ Joe Dispenza" Read more at: http://ift.tt/2dgnezX | FractalEnlightenment.com

Feds: We can read all your email, and you'll never know

"Fear of hackers reading private emails in cloud-based systems like Microsoft Outlook, Gmail or Yahoo has recently sent regular people and public officials scrambling to delete entire accounts full of messages dating back years. " How dumb. Every email ever sent exists at your email provider (where you can delete it but it often hangs around for 30 days ), on your provider's backup and archives (where you can't touch it), on the other parties' providers, provider's backups, local backups and archives (from which you can't delete it). To completely remove an email from the world is close to an impossible task. The only thing that preserves privacy is that nobody (quite often not even the intended recipient) actually wants to read the mail :-)

“When asked how he views Mexicans Gutierrez admitted he sees them as “stubborn, arrogant, false pride, intolerant, selfish.”” This poor guy is getting shat on because he is honest about his own group identity. Unfortunately his assessment is accurate about every group that people identify with. Consider your own and assess thoughtfully and honestly. For those of my ilk, consider the Viduy. I don’t agree with his politics, but this is an unfair attack on his honest assessment of his own group every group I have ever heard people identified with - including Patriots, Americans, Cubs Fans, Patriots Fans, Chicagoans, BMW drivers, Porsche drivers, Prius drivers, Leica owners, Bread Bakers, you get the picture…
