Yeah, that was a funny article IRA. I think this is why Trump resonates w/the general public.
Bullet point discussion points are either overly general or so specific they are meaningless to the uninformed.
HRC gets a pass on so much stuff that I would love to see a Trump/HRC debate. "She's been around so long." LOVED that opening.

Shot: “In New York, Scrappy Local Newspaper Struggles For Survival.”
—Iowahawk headline, December, 2003.
Chaser: “New York Times Experiments With Ways to Fight Ad Blocking.”
—The Wall Street Journal, yesterday.
Hangover: “One strategy includes a message that prompts the user to either allow the Times’ website past the ad blocker or to sign up for a digital subscription. ‘The best things aren’t free,’ the message read.”
—Business Insider, yesterday.
I wonder how that last message is playing with Times’ young socialist Obamacare, Bernie Sanders, Occupy Wall Street-supporting readers?t
Oh, this is good news. No, not really. It is in the "laws are for little people" category, and indicates that the federal employee retirement plan is underfunded to the tune of a cool $1 trillion or so:
Lets work towards equality by complaining about nonexistent pay gaps and pretending women on college campuses in america are more likely to be sexually assaulted than women in war torn third world countries.
We can also ignore the fact that women commit the majority of all domestic violence and crimes against children, that for the same crimes men serve far longer prison terms, that men make up 94% of work place fatalities, die on average a decade earlier, commit suicide at up to five time the rates of women, and that 5 in 7 homeless people are men.
But by all means, lets pretend a woman who chose to be a teacher not making as much money as a fortune 500 CEO is proof of womens' inequality
A local North Carolina pastor is allegedly suing controversial Powerball lottery winner, 27-year-old mother of four Marie Holmes, for $10 million for reneging on a verbal promise to give him $1.5 million of her winnings.
One should be careful not to incur contractual obligations without thinking things over, and/or discussing them with trusted advisors. His chance of success is miniscule, but not zero. Depends if there are witnesses or a recording, and if what is promised is an actual contract.
Also, as this woman has found out, you'll be surprised at the number of friends and family coming out of the woodwork when you've won nearly 190 million dollars.
What could she possibly have done for the Show-Me State that's worth $57,798.26 per annum?

Oh boy:
On Monday, March 7 the Times reporter, Charly Wilder, confirmed to me that she had had “zero contact” with the artists’ unnamed partner. That’s unfortunate, because this story puts many people’s professional reputations in jeopardy, calls into question the reputation of a major institution, and museum practices in general, and the unnamed partner is now the only one who truly knows how this data was produced and where it came from.
In my opinion, both the artists, Al-badri and Nelles, the Times reporter, and Times readers, have all been deceived, one way or another, by an unnamed source.
All of this confusion stems from bad institutional practices regarding secrecy: The Neues Museum is hoarding 3D scans that by all rights it should share with the public, and The New York Times has allowed anonymous sources into the chain of custody of the facts of its story.
Looks like Maryland's highest court doesn't seem to understand that the Fifth Amendment forbids compelling self-incrimination:
When Porter’s first trial resulted in a hung jury I asked about this possibility. It seemed to me that since Officer Porter could easily be facing a retrial and he was involved in the original situation which spurred all of this, any testimony he gave in the subsequent trials of the other officers could be used against him later. This should, in theory, violate his constitutional rights against self-incrimination. It’s a question which the local press covered yet again last week while the state supreme court was hearing arguments over Porter’s refusal to testify.
It isn't like The BERN told her to make him a sammich...

If private business did their accounting the way the Federal Government does, the CFO would be in jail. Just sayin'.

I'm betting 100 quatloos that Mark Zuckerberg personally deletes lujlp's facebook account. So. Many. Micro. Aggressions.
Or, to rephrase that thought: Check your white, middle-class vajayjay privilege.

So this Christian pastor goes into a lottery winner's house and asks for $1.5M donation.
Now he's suing her to get $10M.
