    I hate to break it to you, but the endgame is here...

    My understanding of Federal Election law is shaky at best but, from what I understand, campaigns can coordinate with all types of groups but not PACs. Democracy Partners are not a PAC so much as a consulting firm. Am I right or am I crazy?

    What should Donald do when the election results are in?

    Assuming he loses, as that's the only interesting scenario, I doubt he goes quietly. He hasn't sued any of the people he said he would just yet but there's no reason to believe he wouldn't, at least, call for recounts. He tends to make a lot of noise, even if it doesn't amount to much. His...

    Oh Come on Russia its getting too obvious

    Putin and his allies are coming on way stronger and more obviously than they would need to (or want to) if they wanted to actually influence the election, which leads me to wonder if this is all a mix of coincidence and opportunistic head games. That is to say that it's a coincidence that Paul...

    Scientists just got closer to understanding the link between genetics and crime.

    It's MAOA, the "Warrior Gene," all over again. On an unrelated note, I think I'm about to hit capacity on acronyms. Edit: I'm realizing I don't know what MAOA stands for so I may already be at capacity!

    So the latest bite of news is that she has pheumonia.

    NPR joins other news orgs banning comments from its stories

    If every comment section is going to devolve into a "my team is better than your team" discussion, and one that won't be relevant to the article it is attached to, why should NPR pay for it? While there's usually a comment, maybe two, that are worthwhile contributions to many articles, most all...

    NPR joins other news orgs banning comments from its stories

    Exactly. To be honest, I don't know why there are as many sites with comment sections as we have now. You'd think they would offload that to facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. Via NPR.

    Extreme, extreme, really extreme vetting

    That seems pretty "extreme." But what does the extreme vetting mean paired with the immigration ban on terrorist hotspots? Is the extreme vetting for France and the ban for Syria? Still need more details. I guess I have to watch this crap at 2x speed. Full speech here: I'm using the...

    Man 'on neighborhood watch' kills 20-year-old outside home

    It's our collective duty (and destiny!) to do this and I won't be seen as one condoning of us shirking our responsibilities. Backstory appears to be this, if you don't want to read the articles: There's a party somewhere in Raleigh, N.C., a certain Kouren-Rodney Bernard Thomas was in...

    How do i make the W10 startmenu wider ?

    Not OP. "Enhanced Mitigation Exerien..." doesn't gain or lose additional letters going from 1366x768 to 800x600 on my laptop, revealing that All Apps is fixed width.

    Baltimore PD, no racial bias.... Not really

    I don't know, man. It looks pretty bad. If you recall, this practice was mirrored in the Ferguson PD - they called it a "ped check." Then you have to consider how useful and appropriate the stops are: Unfortunately, the bias displayed was also present in Ferguson. Edit:

    Trump Responds To Slain Soldier's Father, Who Appeals To GOP Leaders

    Here's my beef on Khan v Trump: The Khans are, as has been well noted, the parents of a fallen soldier and that, in our society, affords him some amount if respect. Why did Trump have to go after Khzir's wife, floating the thought she had nothing to say? Why did he go after their religion...

    Michael Jordan speaks on shootings of Black Americans and the targeting of police

    It looks like he didn't decided to say much but he's splitting the difference here. Supporting BLM, the police and attempting to fund improving relations between the two is probably about the right thing for a person of his standing. Not much to say about it since not much was said. Could have...
